kkaprielian user page. having been a long time user of Wikapedia and making extensive use of it's content, thought many times to give back. Strange what prompted me to act was a minor correction in somebody's Greek interpretation. I am not an expert in Greek language.

I have been working on a timeline going back to the beginnings of this world. The insights this format has given me added to my ability to connect dots, do some basic research/calculations are something I am not sure how to present in Wikapedia. I certainly make loose with providing references. In some ways we have to present a story, especially when we'll never have all the facts. References were important in the paper world of books. Knowledge once in the hands of the select few, written in obscure languages, then into vernaculars catapulted and created the modern world. (Traces to that world in the desire to editorialize or the use of what some call "flowery language" persist)

In my timeline I felt the need to be able to see dated entries. It's evolution has helped me further my ability to "clean up" sentences, something I hope to be able to help with on Wikapedia. Kudos to Wikapedia in it's desire to simplify our language out of hard to follow scientific jargon and into straightforward English.
