Good stuff
I cut out the disambiguation, the vast majority of links to this page are about timelines, not about Crichton dml: ...
The term "timeline", when used by itself, can refer to:
Timeline is the title of a 1999 historical / science fiction novel by Michael Crichton.
Timeline is also the title of a 2003 motion picture based on the novel.
For a list of timelines on various subjects, see: List of themed timelines
This is a disambiguation page, that is, one that just points to other pages that might otherwise have the same name. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix that link to point to the appropriate specific page.
- All right, then I'll put it at the bottom of List of themed timelines as a See Also. GUllman 22:44, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Burnsanthony changed this page from a redirect into a dicdef (and a poorly written one at that). List of themed timelines already has a good definition of "timeline", so I made it back into a redirect. He did add one useful-looking external link, which I added to the external links there.

[edit] Timeline
Over the course of development of Wikipedia, this article went back to being a redirect to Chronology, which was not very helpful.
A detailed description of what a timeline is, how it works, how it came to be invented and refined as a standard tool of information, and some salient examples, should be the focus of this article. —Yamara ✉ 19:44, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
