Also, as a reminder, having (with all due respect) "noobs" come to the wiki just to announce they hold the ultimate truth and we are all mistaken is, more often than not, something to ignore than something to be worried about.
 * 1) Removing the date from prose in articles in cases even where it is a date officially given by Marvel has become a necessity because, when that remains, the following paragraph, or simply another one, starts with the same structure just by imitation or paralellism. And as in most instances, that date just have become speculation, better to remove them all at keep the structure of paragraphs without any time references.
 * 2) I don't understand when it started this trend of having to write ten-line paragraphs to explain a reference, but that is a no go. References are just either an internal link written as the Formatting Guide explains, or an external link to a news article or an interview. If there is need of a ten-line paragraph to explain how a date has been calculated, that explanation has no place in a main space article, because the timeline is not the most important or special thing in this wiki'.
 * 3) I was drafting a general reminder for editors and this was one of the points I wanted to address. Adequatly naming (or renaming) all events is one of my current wiki projects, and besides noticing that now it appears that everything has to be Skirmish of this, Skirmish of that... Also, when renaming red links, the place where most of them appeared was the "Timeline Discussion Part X", and not in the episode or movie pages as it should. There even red links for events that already had their own article. Given that messages can only be edited by admins (not even content moderators), I'd rather not see red links in these kind of messages, and if you want, add them just in the proper articles.
 * 4) First thing, I'm nobody's boss. I'm just here to make sure that the wiki moves forward instead of backwards. And sometimes, that means not letting people doing whatever they want whenever they want, and making write blog posts announcing they are leaving because of the tyrant admins... Also, it's not that I lack the time, is that I mostly like the interest in "reviewing", "calculating" and eveything like that. So, as long as you don't intertwine events in the article's infoboxes, don't write up lengthy explanations in references, an so on (the things I always say), you can proceed.
 * 1) While editing the Timeline article, main priority is release order. If Marvel explicitly changes that within media, as it happened with Homecoming and will happen for sure with Captain Marvel, then it gets fixed. But while editing, better safe than sorry, so I had to wait until Homecoming premiered in Spain almost a month later than in the rest of thw world due to a voice actors strike, to be sure.
 * 2) As stated before, as long as changes are contained to where they should (mostly Timeline pages), then go ahead.
 * 3) I'm still waiting for the official Marvel source that says it's intertwined. Because so far, whenever I asked, the only things that have been provided is that Claire Temple's first appearance in Luke Cage happens after her last appearance in Daredevil (Charlie Cox's intrview said it happened "before", as in Daredevil -> Luke Cage -> Return to Daredevil), and calculations based on real world dates. So no, these are not valid reasons, and hence events DO NO intertwine.
 * 4) I've already stated this a couple of times, but Aas long as you have to provide an explanation on how to calculate a date based on a handful of disparate comments, that is not something that we can have in a main space article.
