I am nominating this for featured list because, after viewing several history text timelines and after taking a look at the archived discussion of this article's unsuccessful 2008 "FLC" I set about revamping the page. There are now inline citations, more key events are noted, and more information given about those events. Also, the article now has a good introduction and helpful organizational headings.

Comments from Maile

First of all, congratulations on the reformat. It looks soooooo much better without the table.

• The images are fine, but there's a long stretch without any images. Any chance there might be some on Commons to add?
• There are a lot of dates with no sourcing citation.

Thank you for your comments Maile. I have added a couple images and will attend to the citations (plus additional images) soon. Drdpw (talk) 15:20, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Drdpw: Wow - time flies. I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to this - didn't mean to hang this nomination out to dry.

• Sources - I see you added citations to each item/paragraph. I ran Earwig's tool for copyvio/close paraphrasing. Looks to me like what it considers violations begin with You Tube, which is notorious for copying Wikipedia, and other sites that have copied You Tube or Wikipedia. The sourcing you've used all appears to be credible.
• Images - I see you have added the captioned images as stated. Please see
  WP:ALT
  . For screen readers used by the visually impaired, each image also needs alternative text added.
• See also section - Anything that is in the bottom navbox should not also be in this section. — Maile (talk) 16:11, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66: Thanks for your input and help enhancing the TL. Alternative text has been added to images and the See also section contents trimmed. Drdpw (talk) 20:08, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - You've taken care of everything I asked. Happy to support you on this. — Maile (talk) 21:47, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose—there are many lines in this timeline with no inline citation. I would have expected at least one inline citation for each entry on the timeline. –Grondemar 23:01, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Maile66:@Grondemar: Every entry in the TL now has at least one inline citation. Drdpw (talk) 20:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Closing note: This
  WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. – 13:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply
