Wikipedia:WikiProject Mobile Operation System/Chronology Guideline

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The pages Bloody Valentine War and Second Bloody Valentine War should be an accurate chronology of the war. It should be narrated from a neutral point of view, something of a historical narration. As such, it should contain:

• an introduction to the war
• a chronology of events, main battles, alliances, turning-points
• the outcome of the war
• eventual treaties (if any).

For every event there should be the date and the place. For the battles, there should be info about the battle itself, such as deployed units, rules of engagement and the outcome.

This page, on the other hand, SHOULD NOT contain any of the following:

• any reference to single episodes; this is a chronology of the war, not a synopsis eps by eps
• any information about the single characters, where not directly pertinent to the war as a whole; there shouldn't be an entire chapter for Athrun's defection; of course it can be mentioned, but as defections in SEED are quite common, this is not a historical event
• any character's personal life events; these should go either on the Cosmic Era list of characters page or on the appropriate character's own page; these are not historical events
• single dogfights between various gundams; these should be mentioned only when relevant to the entire battle (which is often the case), but shouldn't be described in too much of a detail (such as listing every move); if some dogfight is particularly unique, it should be put on the page of the defeated unit, under the fate subsection, not here
• technical explanations of any kind; there are plenty of pages describing any possible ship, mobile suit unit, weapon and technology.
