[edit] Chronology

The edit that Thorwald is instating destroys the chronology of the article. Excising the content about child sexual abuse and relegating it to the bottom of the article does not make sense. Joie de Vivre 02:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Not true. I think your chronology is off. I know this story well. --Thorwald 02:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Joe de Vivre: Enough! This is getting silly. You do not get to decide which version is better (especially when it is your version). I propose we settle this dispute here. Do not call my reverts vandalism! Why is my revert "vandalism" and your's is not? --Thorwald 02:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
It's Joie. You reverted just like I did, so your comments above can apply to you too. And your edit history name here is wrong; you didn't revert to my version, you reverted to your version.
Anyway. What you are doing to this article does not make a whole lot of sense to me. Can you explain why you moved nearly all of the content regarding sexual abuse to the bottom of the page? Joie de Vivre 02:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
My response to your reverts was just that, a response to your reverts. Obviously I meant that "vandalism" revert was mine; it was just a typo. Anyway, the point to my format change was in response to the "cleanup tag". The article before was one long section. I attempted to break it down into discernible pieces. It isn't the best it could be, but it is a start. The abuse section does not necessarily need to be in the chronology of his life. Look at any other biography articles on Wikipedia. Many of them pull out certain sections that are debatable and place them outside the chronology (see articles dealing with sexual orientation). Anyway, I am, by no means, disputing that Mr. Rodriguez was abused (there appears to be sufficient evidence in our sources section), I just do not think it belongs in the chronology of his life. --Thorwald 02:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  1. Why is that?
  2. Please provide examples of Wikipedia biographies where the individual's life events are excised entirely from the timeline and placed below for debate. Joie de Vivre 02:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Why is what? Here are some examples of anachronistic timelines:
  1. Why is it that you "do not think it [the abuse] belongs in the chronology of his [Rodriguez's] life"? Joie de Vivre 12:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't see the need for placing the child abuse material separately. It's a short biography, and it's a central issue in his life. I suggest treating the material chronologically. ·:·Will Beback ·:· 18:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Alright. Find with me. --Thorwald 23:15, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
