Talk:Timeline

http://tomservo.shackspace.com/Deus_Ex_timeline.txt this once was hosted on a DX forum, I don't know if it still exists or who is to be credited for the amazing work, perhaps it's TomServo, who hosts the .txt? If you know, please mention the original writerJohnny 11:13, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Johnny, I really don't think, we should have all of it pasted here. When someone comes on this page, he wants to learn about the events of Deus Ex, not ancient history. All those Hashishim, Weishaupts and Napoleons only confuse the reader. I won't do anything for now, but I'd just revert all changes and selectively add the relevant dates.--Nathan2000 13:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I Agree. Some of those facts could be deleted, but... not all of them! The backstory of Deus Ex goes way back and is very rich and deep. Sure, as the wiki expands, and you add articles on the subjects and ideas appearing here, text may be moved into those articles. But I don't want the work of someone, who seems to be one of the greatest fans of Deus Ex, to go to waste.
 * I find this one of the best and comprehensive timelines for Deus Ex and conspiracy theories related to the game. I don't find it hard to read or confusing at all- maybe it's because I studied the subjects a few years ago. And it's not antient history. There are no dates from before anno domini, are there?
 * And actually, the reader doesn't want to learn about the events of Deus Ex in this particular page- otherwise we'd just have to delete it all and leave 2052. Besides, the navigation is easy enough for one to skip everything through XXth century and get to the stuff in the XXIst century, which may be as confusing for some people. If you want to discuss more, speak to me on gg (5619471) and we'll swich to our native language. Johnny 14:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
