Does this infringe on copyright? --Furrykef 07:50, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

That is what I thought on first sight but it is not a copy paste of the official timeline on the editor's site. The events are not the same and every event is reformulated. If it is copyright infringing, I don't think this is from an official source. --Ivanhoé 08:57, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] San andreas event sensical?

It is true that Shadowrun, 4th Edition shows a variously flooded California, but the description of consequences doesn't seem to match the description of the geological features. Maybe the timeline here should just mention that there was an earthquake and that the Central Valley was flooded? --Ichoran 13:10, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning this article

I think that this article needs cleaning. --Hannu 21:51, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Attempted to get rid of the superfluous headings so the contents box isn't so huge. It still needs trimming and someone familiar with the Shadowrun timeline to go through and clean it up so it makes more sense. There's no context. Maybe adding a basic intro to the context of the timeline (very basic explanation of the shadowrun plot to put it in context) would be a good idea. Also needs sourcing. Where is all this data coming from? --Lendorien 09:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Guh. I think most of the data, as far as I can tell through research, is coming out of timelines on other Shadowrun websites. I've got a good deal of SR3 source books, and some of the stuff in this timeline doesn't happen in any of them. We can only assume some comes from the novels as well. I'm going to attempt some cleanup today. Does anyone know of more events that have happened post Matrix 2.0? --dAtkRaK 08:38, 21 October 2006 (EST)

[edit] Too... much... accronym...

Insert non-formatted text here

"UCA secceed from UCAS", what the hell? Not very usefull for a non-initiate.

Can someone cut down on the acronyms a little, and put the names. Or at least, create an acronym compendium for Shadowrun universe?

Or a nation/corporation compendium?

[edit] Too many dead wiki-links?

Unless somebody objects, tommorow I'm going to go through and de-wikify most of those redlinks that litter the page.--Donovan Ravenhull 01:48, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead. There's a lot of things that are linked that I'm confident will never become Wikipedia pages. Some of them could be transwikied to Dumpshock, although I'm not sure what Dumpshock's wikiproject name is to do the transwiki. EvilCouch 05:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Still unsure of how to transwiki to Dumpshock, but apparently Wikia has a Shadowrun project, so transwiki to there is possible. I went through and linked up everything that I could see offhand, if someone wants to do some transwiki work to get articles started over on that side and get them linked here, feel free to. The way to transwiki to the Wikia is to prefix the wikilink with wikia:shadowrun. Thus, Goblinization becomes wikia:shadowrun:Goblinization, which you can pipe to pretty up, giving the link as Goblinization. EvilCouch 03:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
