Timeline of United States history
I don't understand your edits to Timeline of United States history. This is a list of events in the past; why the change to make everything present tense? I've reverted your edits, please discuss this on the article's talk page. Tarl N. ( discuss ) 03:11, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I figured that replacing the past tense words with present tense words would make the article sound more professional. :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.209.41 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It makes it sound like a present-time account. I don't know that that would necessarily be wrong, but that should be discussed on the article's talk page. We invite people to be bold WP:BOLD, but once someone disagrees, the process WP:BRD indicates the next step is to discuss your changes on the article's talk page (in this case, Talk:Timeline_of_United_States_history).
 * As a separate issue, when writing comments on a talk page, please end them with the quadruple tilde (" ~ "), which Wikipedia will replace with a signature giving date/time and your username or IP. This is necessary to keep track of who said what when. Regards, Tarl N. ( discuss ) 04:44, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
