Requested/accepted:
Remove from list when updated to contract work page [https://contractwork.vipulnaik.com/worker.php?worker=Sebastian+Sanchez] and [https://github.com/vipulnaik/contractwork/blob/master/contributor-lists/sebastian-sanchez-list.mediawiki].
* [[Timeline of Amazon]] (expansion)
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
*** '''Pageviews''' (sufficient in isolation): The timeline has had [https://analytics.vipulnaik.com/top-pages.php?project_title=Timelines%20wiki&pagepath_regex=Amazon.com&start_date=2018-04-29 over 4,000 pageviews] since the last significant update on 2018-04-28.
*** '''Time since last update''': The time since last update will be 2.5 years at the due date for this timeline. This is well above the 1-year minimum.
*** '''Qualitative outdatedness''': There have been many developments at Amazon since the last update to the timeline.
*** '''Topicality''': Interest in the timeline has increased in light of general increased in interest in Amazon due to COVID-19.
*** '''Cannibalization opportunity from Wikipedia''': The corresponding timeline on Wikipedia gets comparable numbers of pageviews, so we have a doubling opportunity by improving search engine ranking.

* [[Timeline of Amazon]] (expansion):
** Vipul: Stock price chart?
** Vipul: For some rows, adding a bit more "forward-looking" information on the eventual importance of the development would be nice. Example rows where this would help: introduction of Free Super Saver Shipping, introduction of Amazon Prime, launch of the Kindle✔, launch of Mechanical Turk, launch of Amazon EC2 / Amazon Web Services, and Jeff Bezos buying the Washington Post (this could be tied to later criticisms by Trump of the Washington Post being a newspaper peddling Amazon's interests). Basically with that done, it will be easier later to trim the timeline and move further developments into smaller timelines; also even until then, having initial events include more of a forward-looking perspective makes the timeline more valuable.
** Vipul: It might be worth adding a row about Bezos's divorce with his wife MacKenzie Scott, and her getting 25% of his Amazon shares (though voting rights remained with Jeff Bezos). See for instance [https://marker.medium.com/the-inside-story-of-mackenzie-scott-the-mysterious-60-billion-dollar-woman-21952a3dc811 this].✔
** Vipul: For Amazon's very early history, it would be good to include a longer list of co-founders and early supporters (for instance, Jeff's wife MacKenzie may have played a key role in the early years; I'm not sure). If the information is hard to dig up, though, you can skip it.
* [[Timeline of face masks]] (new timeline):
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
*** '''Topicality''': The role of face masks in combating COVID-19 has received a lot of attention.
*** '''Existence value''': Face masks seem like an important topic to understand, given the role they may play in infection control.
** Feedback:
*** I think for the big picture, 20th century could be broken down into first half of 20th century (widespread use in hospitals) and second half of 20th century (increased mainstreaming esp. in Asia, and in the context of pandemics)
*** For 21st century, I'm wondering if pre-COVID (till 2019) and COVID (2020) should be separated. This will be a roughly "equal" splitting by importance or amount of information.
*** I think it would be good to have a table giving a summary of the broad categories of masks/respirators, along with high-level information on origin, rise to popularity, and advantages and disadvantages. Probably you can crib something from Wikipedia and tweak some columns. Also, would a "mask type" column make sense for the full timeline?

* [[Timeline of animal welfare and rights]] (Agreed on October 10, 2020 as "non-priority". Vipul: "I think you can add expanding that timeline to your queue of work. I'm not totally convinced it should be priority work, but you can use your non-priority work time for it".)

Note: Vipul may use ✘ for works he is not interested in (quicker than using strikes).
