I think that we should consolidate them into a single master time line check list. Starting from the one on the con chair page but breaking it out. The auxiliary time lines may or may not continue to exist where they are. It should be terse and read like a punch list. Heavily linked to other pages. A single location for contributors to collaborate, and a single location for users to refer. --[[User:Tbmorgan74|Tbmorgan74]] 11:23, 14 February 2007 (PST) | I think that we should consolidate them into a single master time line check list.

Revision as of 13:14, 14 February 2007
Looks like my addition to the Executive Committee article kinda partly collided with your work on Con Chair.
Or...I wonder if you're thinking of the same structures I am? To me, the chair or executive committee have basically the same jobs; and for that reason I think they kinda belong together in one article. With a discussion, somewhere and eventually, about why some cons choose one and some the other (chair more common by ample safe margin I think?).

multiple timelines
There are at least 4 different timelines in this wiki.
- Art Show - Timeline (Talk)
- ConChair (Talk)
- Dealers room (Talk)
- Web Site (Talk)
