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 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?✔/✘
**** Sebastian: There's not enough amount of events differentiating among cloth face masks.
**** Sebastian: I'm thinking in a page like [https://timelines.issarice.com/wiki/Comparison_of_methods_of_malaria_control this], centered in face masks and airborne transmissions.

* [[Timeline of Amazon]] (expansion) ('''Tentative payment accepted'''):** 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.*** Sebastian: I'm adding more rows to give more perspective of the evolution of these service/product(s).*** Sebastian: I added a new column in order to sort by service/product/subsidiary, thus facilitating sub-timelines within the full timeline.** 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.✔

== Priority work from Vipul ==
=== By November 7, 2020 ===
 
* [[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.
 
=== By January 15, 2021 (start any time) ===
*** '''Topicality''' (almost sufficient): Vaccines are a subject of discussion these days with potential coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines in the works.
=== By May 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
* [[Timeline of influenza]] (expansion; '''incremental expansion only'''; add a few rows for recent developments including interaction with COVID; do not spend effort expanding historical portions of timeline)
* [[Timeline of OpenAI]] (expansion; '''incremental expansion only''')
=== By May 15, 2022 (don't start more than 120 240 days before due date) ===
* [[Timeline of WeWork]] (expansion; '''incremental expansion only''')
*** '''Time since last update''': The gap between the last update and the due date for this one is at least one year.
=== By July 15, 2022 (don't start more than 120 240 days before due date) ===
* [[Timeline of 5G]] (expansion; '''incremental expansion only''')
*** '''Time since last update''': The gap between the last update and the due date for this one is at least one year.
=== By October 115, 2022 (don't start more than 120 300 days before due date) === * [[Timeline of Bitcoin]] (expansion; '''incremental expansion only''') === By July 1, 2023 (start/continue any time from July 1, 2021 onward) === * [[Timeline of Microsoft]]* [[Timeline of PayPal]]* [[Timeline of Stripe]]
=== By January 1, 2024 (start/continue any time from January 1, 2022 onward) === * [[Timeline of 4GFacebook]] (new timeline)** '''Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work''':*** '''Pageview potential''': Judging by how well [[timeline Timeline of 5GUber]] is doing == Suggested time-sensitive content == With time-sensitive content, the idea may be to add a few additional important recent events to a timeline of 4G , without doing a systematic expansion. So, there may also do reasonably well (Ibe holes in coverage. The "focused coverage period" banner on top can help to clarify the situation. For instance, let'm guessing that it'll get at least 20% of the pageviews of s say you last expanded a timeline of 5Gin March 2019, which should still be enough and it covers content till March 2019. You want to justify creationadd a couple of significant events in 2020. You can do so, particularly considering and keep the focused coverage period as March 2019. So readers get the information that updates the coverage after March 2019 will not have be only partial, and less complete than coverage until March 2019. In some cases you may decide to do a more complete expansion while adding time-sensitive content, but this should be that frequentdone only if time and mood permit. * [[Timeline of online food delivery]] (one of the most viewed timelines):** COVID-19 has probably boosted online food delivery a lot? This may deserve a mention.✔** DoorDash IPO (filed for one on November 13, IPO date still unclear)*** Sebastian: It filed confidentially on February 27, 2020, but maybe we should wait until it becomes effective, as it remains private as of date.* [[Timeline of nonprofit evaluation]]:** Add the acquisition of ImpactMatters by Charity Navigator.
