=== In progress Returned with feedback === * [[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, 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).** 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:/ expansions /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? === Others ===
