This article currently has 423,011 bytes of wiki markup. That's too much by far. What's the best way to split it? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * you may find Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections useful background, if you haven't look-over already. Notice in particular 's helpful suggestions and action.  X1\ (talk) 22:01, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Should definitely be split, especially since we have now separated the timeline into threads. However, this article should replace the Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections first. Onetwothreeip (talk) 09:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Note, per the Talk page wlink I provided above, there is not consensus to destroy the long-standing Timeline and replacing it with this one, much much to the contrary; see comments by , , , , and mine there. Supporting information at May 2019 DRN also. X1\ (talk) 23:37, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, X1 is correct about it. Those are two very different timelines (contrary to the title, they include a lot of different events). Moreover, there was basically a consensus that the size of the list should not be an issue. My very best wishes (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually it is incorrect. There was no such consensus, despite choosing only certain people to notify here. Deceptively linking to a past version of an archived discussion, rather than the archive of the discussion itself, is also not welcome. The only way that these two articles include different events is if editors have been omitting to include events into one that they have included into the other.

 * See 123IP's continued attempts to delete the Timeline. X1\ (talk) 00:01, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Attribution
I have added my best quess at attribution. Still needed for article (not Talk page) clarity is something to the effect of (previously): Using Template:About "For the beginning of the complete chronological timeline, see Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. For continuation, see Timeline of post-election transition following Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections." I'll review rewording. X1\ (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of unsorted section
There is no point in retaining the unsorted section.Theoallen1 (talk) 00:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Multiple timelines are confusing and difficult to navigate
So now we have


 * Topical timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections


 * Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections


 * Timeline of post-election transition following Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections (a contender for worst article title ever)
