* [[Timeline of search engine optimization]]
 
** Vipul: I would like it if the initial rows with general background on new search engines till ~1995 (as well as some of the later search engine rows) were removed; there's a timeline [[timeline of web search engines]] for those that has pretty similar stuff. If there is information in the timeline of SEO that isn't there in the timeline of web search engines, it would be good to use that to enhance the timeline of web search engines. If you think specific rows are important to understanding SEO, you can keep them in timeline of SEO. I think the rows about Google algorithm updates are okay to keep in this timeline, even though they are also in [[timeline of Google Search]], because I see that the ones you have included are ones with significant SEO implications, and you have explained the implications in the respective timeline row.✔
 
** Vipul: There are two rows on the creation of BackRub, for 1996 and 1998. I think the 1998 one should be removed.✔ (Sebastian: moved to [[Timeline of web search engines]])
 
** Vipul: See if you can provide more historical context/events around terminology and practice of {{w|keyword stuffing}}, {{w|link farm}}s✔, {{w|cloaking}}✔, {{w|doorway page}}s✔, {{w|spamdexing}}✔, {{w|link building}}✔, as well as any other SEO concepts✔ (Sebastian: See type of event value "Spamdexing"). Since many of these started in the late 1990s, there may not be good historical records for them. So it's okay to give a range of years during which we know the practice emerged, but they should get mentioned in the timeline.
 
** Vipul: Maybe add more events around the launches of SEO websites, like searchengineland.com?✔ (Sebastian: A number of websites added, including blogs and SEO tools)

== Priority work from Vipul ==
  
=== By July 15, 2020 ===
 
  
* New timeline: [[Timeline of infection control]]; this timeline should cover ideas in infection control like qurantines, cordon sanitaire, social distancing, contact tracing, hand washing, etc. There will be some overlap with [[timeline of epidemiology]] but it will be much more focused on the practical steps involved with infection control, using pandemics and epidemics as illustrative cases for how good the practice is at any given time.
+
=== By February 1, 2021 (start any time) ===
 +
 
 +
* [[Timeline of contact tracing]] and [[timeline of contact tracing in the COVID-19 pandemic]]:
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Topicality''' (almost sufficient): Contact tracing has been in the limelight in connection with COVID.
 +
*** '''Existence value''': It's hard to find a good single source explaining the evolution of contact tracing. A timeline could add considerable unique value on that front.
 +
 
 +
=== By March 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
  
=== By August 15, 2020 ===
+
* [[Timeline of vaccines]] (Expansion started on June 1, 2020): Expand, restructure, add columns and in particular make it a more useful timeline for people trying to understand vaccines in order to understand the prospects for a coronavirus vaccine.
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Pageviews''': The timeline has had [https://analytics.vipulnaik.com/top-pages.php?project_title=Timelines%20wiki&pagepath_regex=vaccines&start_date=2018-06-02 500 pageviews since being published 2018-06-01]. It's halfway to the 1000-pageview mark that is sufficient to trigger an expansion.
 +
*** '''Time since last update''': The timeline was last updated 2018-06-01, so it is a little over two years old. This passes the minimum threshold of one year, but is not enough to be sufficient for an expansion.
 +
*** '''Topicality''' (almost sufficient): Vaccines are a subject of discussion these days with potential coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines in the works.
  
* [[Timeline of Tesla Motors]] (expansion)
+
=== By April 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
** Sebastian: Google Trends and Wikipedia Views. Compare with SpaceX and other Musk companies.
+
 
* [[Timeline of Netflix]] (expansion)
+
* [[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)
** Sebastian: Google Trends and Wikipedia Views.
+
 
 +
=== By May 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
 +
 
 +
* [[Timeline of senescence research]] (expansion):
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': A solid timeline about the biology of senescence can be extremely useful background to people navigating the subject.
 +
*** ''' Time since last update''': The timeline got its last minor expansion in 2018; it is mostly the same as when it was originally created in 2016. Since then, our standards for timelines and our processes for creating them have evolved quite a bit.
 +
*** Pageviews so far is a non-reason, but there is a possibility that an improved, revamped timeline can attract way more pageviews.
 +
** Suggestions for expansion (from Vipul); don't limit yourself just to these:
 +
*** Probably we should add more column(s) to classify by the theory or approach that the row is about. These columns may be blank for some rows.
 +
*** There should be more context on individual rows, including possibly some context that explains the significance and current standing. The idea is that readers reading it should have a sense of the ups and downs of specific theories in the marketplace of ideas.
 +
*** Things like Wikipedia Views, Google Trends, Google Ngram viewer
 +
*** Maybe some charts of things based on Google Scholar, research budgets, etc.
 +
 
 +
=== By June 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
  
=== By October 1, 2020 ===
+
* [[Timeline of calorie restriction]] (new timeline, currently only a collection of links)
 +
** '''Vipul's reason for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Harmony with other work''': This might fit well with the work on timeline of senescence research.
 +
*** '''Existence value''': Googling for timeline of calorie restriction  does not currently surface any hits. The timeline, once completed, could be a canonical reference for people interested in how calorie restriction developed.
  
* [[Timeline of vaccines]]: Expand, restructure, add columns and in particular make it a more useful timeline for people trying to understand vaccines in order to understand the prospects for a coronavirus vaccine.
+
=== By July 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
  
=== By December 1, 2020 ===
+
* [[Timeline of quantified self]] (perhaps rename to timeline of personal science? It may be worth looking at different potential terminology)
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': Having an official timeline of quantified self would help understand this really interesting trend/space. There are a few timelines of quantified self currently available, but most don't give a good feel for the development (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantified_self#History https://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology/2017/04/13/what-is-the-history-of-the-quantified-self-a-history-of-part-1/ https://michaelrucker.com/well-being/brief-history-of-the-quantified-self-movement/)
 +
* Timeline of biohacking (?) -- might be good to work on this alongside; if there's not enough distinction between this and the quantified self timeline, they could be merged into one.
  
* [[Timeline of artificial intelligence]] (new timeline)
+
=== By August 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
* [[Timeline of robotics]] (new timeline)
 
* [[Timeline of machine learning]] (expand and possibly revamp the existing content in the timeline as well)
 
  
=== By February 1, 2021 ===
+
* [[Timeline of weight loss]] (currently partially done)
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': Having an official timeline of weight loss would help us understand this fairly important topic.
  
* [[Timeline of WeWork]] (expansion)
+
=== By September 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
* [[Timeline of Amazon.com]] (expansion)
 
* [[Timeline of 5G]] (expansion)
 
  
=== By May 1, 2021 ===
+
* Timeline of nutritional supplements (?)
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': Supplements are embraced across many branches of medicine, and are considered very importance in prophylactic medicine. It would be good to have a timeline exploring this space.
 +
* Timeline of Vitamin D
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': Vitamin D may be the single most important micronutrient, as shown in its role in COVID.
  
* [[Timeline of 3G]] (new timeline)
+
=== By October 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
* [[Timeline of 4G]] (new timeline)
 
  
=== By September 1, 2021 ===
+
* Timeline of fats (or fatty acids): An in-depth timeline about the various debates surrounding saturated vs unsaturated fats, cis vs trans, omega-3 vs omega-6, partially hydrogenated oils, etc.
 +
* Timeline of proteins (or amino acids): An in-depth timeline looking at the role of various kinds of proteins in diet, and our understanding of them.
  
* [[Timeline of malaria in 2019]]
+
=== By November 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===
  
== Not ready ==
+
* [[Timeline of Tesla, Inc.]] (expansion; '''give priority to incremental expansion but feel free to expand earlier content if time and interest''')
 +
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Time since last update''' (sufficient in isolation): The timeline passes the "five years since the last update" threshold; it has not undergone any significant expansion on Timelines wiki (it was last updated on Wikipedia, and the last paid update was in 2015).
 +
*** '''Pageviews''': The timeline has had [https://analytics.vipulnaik.com/top-pages.php?project_title=Timelines%20wiki&pagepath_regex=Tesla almost 900 views on Timelines wiki as of mid-July 2020]. At this rate, it should get 1,000 views by the due date of the expansion.
 +
*** '''Qualitative outdatedness''': The subject of the timeline has had significant updates in the last few years (and its stock price has grown like crazy), to the point that the timeline feels quite outdated.
 +
** Sebastian: Google Trends and Wikipedia Views. Compare with SpaceX and other Musk companies.
 +
 
 +
=== By December 15, 2021 (start/continue any time) ===

* [[Timeline of bioethics]] (expand (expansion started on 18 December 2019)  
+
** '''Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work''':
* [[Timeline of cognitive biases]]
+
*** '''Existence value''': A good, solid timeline of artificial intelligence will complement the [[timeline of AI safety]] by providing a good background of the AI landscape relevant for AI safety.
* [[Timeline of pollution]]
+
** Sebastian: First deadline date: April 1, 2020
**(Vipul: China's "National Sword" policy and its impact on global recycling, the UN's work on solid waste management, impacts of plastic waste on ocean plastic pollution. See also [https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution Our World in Data on plastic pollution] and [[wikipedia:plastic pollution|plastic pollution on Wikipedia]] for some data on the latter)

** '''Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work''':
 +
*** '''Existence value''': A good, solid timeline of machine learning will complement the [[timeline of AI safety]] by providing a good background of the AI landscape relevant for AI safety.
 +
*** '''Pageviews''': The pretty skeletal version of the timeline has had [https://analytics.vipulnaik.com/top-pages.php?project_title=Timelines%20wiki&pagepath_regex=machine_learning 400 pageviews on Timelines wiki] since the launch of Timelines wiki.

 +
*** '''Time since last update''': The gap between the last update and the due date for this one is at least one year.

 +
*** '''Time since last update''': The gap between the last update and the due date for this one is at least one year.
  
* [[Timeline of SpaceX]] (Expansion started on June 3, 2020)
+
=== By July 1, 2023 (start/continue any time from July 1, 2021 onward) ===
** Vipul: I think the big picture should include a row for the period from 2001 to 2006.
 
** Vipul: I suggest restructuring the big picture to have a single row for the 2017 to 2020 period, and then have a "Highlights by year" version of the big picture that has a summary row for each year. Currently the big picture starts off at multi-year granularity, and ends up at single-year granularity, which isn't ideal (I think).
 
** Vipul: Can you add Wikipedia views and Google Trends? For Wikipedia Views, I'd like information not just for SpaceX Wikipedia page but also for Wikipedia pages related to SpaceX (I can guide more on this).
 
** Vipul: Talk more about competition, e.g,, the Jeff Bezos-backed Blue Origin, and possibly others?
 
** Vipul: Possibly include a few more background events before 2001 on the history of space flight, and the role, or lack thereof, of private companies in space flight?
 
** Vipul: Perhaps add a row on Musk selling/leaving PayPal in 2001 (which explains him switching to SpaceX) and other companies he is working on (to provide more context on his time-split and conflicts of interest)?

== Suggested time-sensitive content ==
  
* [[Timeline of Cochrane]] (requested on 13 April 2019)
+
With time-sensitive content, the idea may be to add a few additional important recent events to a timeline, without doing a systematic expansion. So, there may be holes in coverage. The "focused coverage period" banner on top can help to clarify the situation.
* [[Timeline of Spanish on the web]]
 
* [[Timeline of Mandarin on the web]]
 
* [[Timeline of food and nutrition in Japan]]
 
* [[Timeline of food and nutrition in Belgium]]
 
* [[Timeline of food and nutrition in Netherlands]]
 
  
 +
For instance, let's say you last expanded a timeline in March 2019, and it covers content till March 2019. You want to add a couple of significant events in 2020. You can do so, and keep the focused coverage period as March 2019. So readers get the information that the coverage after March 2019 will 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 done 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.✔
 +
* [[Timeline of OpenAI]]:
 +
** {{w|GPT-3}} release (note from Vipul: there's already a row on this?)
 +
* [[Timeline of Salesforce]] and [[timeline of Slack]]: Add the definitive agreement by Salesforce to acquire Slack! (requested December 7, 2020)
 +
* [[Timeline of GiveWell]]: Add 2020 top charities (requested December 7, 2020); btw, I (Vipul) am okay with doing a more complete incremental expansion which might only include a couple of additional rows, but just adding top charities is fine.
 +
* [[Timeline of Animal Charity Evaluators]]: Add 2020 top charities (requested December 7, 2020); btw, I (Vipul) am okay with doing a more complete incremental expansion which might only include a couple of additional rows, but just adding top charities is fine.

Devec

Priority work from Vipul

By February 1, 2021 (start any time)

  • Timeline of contact tracing and timeline of contact tracing in the COVID-19 pandemic:
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Topicality (almost sufficient): Contact tracing has been in the limelight in connection with COVID.
      • Existence value: It's hard to find a good single source explaining the evolution of contact tracing. A timeline could add considerable unique value on that front.

By March 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of vaccines (Expansion started on June 1, 2020): Expand, restructure, add columns and in particular make it a more useful timeline for people trying to understand vaccines in order to understand the prospects for a coronavirus vaccine.
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Pageviews: The timeline has had 500 pageviews since being published 2018-06-01. It's halfway to the 1000-pageview mark that is sufficient to trigger an expansion.
      • Time since last update: The timeline was last updated 2018-06-01, so it is a little over two years old. This passes the minimum threshold of one year, but is not enough to be sufficient for an expansion.
      • Topicality (almost sufficient): Vaccines are a subject of discussion these days with potential coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines in the works.

By April 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)

By May 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of senescence research (expansion):
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Existence value: A solid timeline about the biology of senescence can be extremely useful background to people navigating the subject.
      • Time since last update: The timeline got its last minor expansion in 2018; it is mostly the same as when it was originally created in 2016. Since then, our standards for timelines and our processes for creating them have evolved quite a bit.
      • Pageviews so far is a non-reason, but there is a possibility that an improved, revamped timeline can attract way more pageviews.
    • Suggestions for expansion (from Vipul); don't limit yourself just to these:
      • Probably we should add more column(s) to classify by the theory or approach that the row is about. These columns may be blank for some rows.
      • There should be more context on individual rows, including possibly some context that explains the significance and current standing. The idea is that readers reading it should have a sense of the ups and downs of specific theories in the marketplace of ideas.
      • Things like Wikipedia Views, Google Trends, Google Ngram viewer
      • Maybe some charts of things based on Google Scholar, research budgets, etc.

By June 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of calorie restriction (new timeline, currently only a collection of links)
    • Vipul's reason for marking as priority work:
      • Harmony with other work: This might fit well with the work on timeline of senescence research.
      • Existence value: Googling for timeline of calorie restriction does not currently surface any hits. The timeline, once completed, could be a canonical reference for people interested in how calorie restriction developed.

By July 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

By August 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of weight loss (currently partially done)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Existence value: Having an official timeline of weight loss would help us understand this fairly important topic.

By September 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of nutritional supplements (?)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Existence value: Supplements are embraced across many branches of medicine, and are considered very importance in prophylactic medicine. It would be good to have a timeline exploring this space.
  • Timeline of Vitamin D
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Existence value: Vitamin D may be the single most important micronutrient, as shown in its role in COVID.

By October 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of fats (or fatty acids): An in-depth timeline about the various debates surrounding saturated vs unsaturated fats, cis vs trans, omega-3 vs omega-6, partially hydrogenated oils, etc.
  • Timeline of proteins (or amino acids): An in-depth timeline looking at the role of various kinds of proteins in diet, and our understanding of them.

By November 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of Tesla, Inc. (expansion; give priority to incremental expansion but feel free to expand earlier content if time and interest)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking as priority work:
      • Time since last update (sufficient in isolation): The timeline passes the "five years since the last update" threshold; it has not undergone any significant expansion on Timelines wiki (it was last updated on Wikipedia, and the last paid update was in 2015).
      • Pageviews: The timeline has had almost 900 views on Timelines wiki as of mid-July 2020. At this rate, it should get 1,000 views by the due date of the expansion.
      • Qualitative outdatedness: The subject of the timeline has had significant updates in the last few years (and its stock price has grown like crazy), to the point that the timeline feels quite outdated.
    • Sebastian: Google Trends and Wikipedia Views. Compare with SpaceX and other Musk companies.

By December 15, 2021 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of artificial intelligence (new timeline)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work:
      • Existence value: A good, solid timeline of artificial intelligence will complement the timeline of AI safety by providing a good background of the AI landscape relevant for AI safety.
    • Sebastian: First deadline date: April 1, 2020

By January 15, 2022 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of robotics (new timeline)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work:
      • Existence value: A good, solid timeline of robotics will complement the timeline of AI safety by providing a good background of the AI landscape relevant for AI safety.
    • Sebastian: First deadline date: April 1, 2020

By February 15, 2022 (start/continue any time)

  • Timeline of machine learning (expand and possibly revamp the existing content in the timeline as well)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work:
      • Existence value: A good, solid timeline of machine learning will complement the timeline of AI safety by providing a good background of the AI landscape relevant for AI safety.
      • Pageviews: The pretty skeletal version of the timeline has had 400 pageviews on Timelines wiki since the launch of Timelines wiki.
    • Sebastian: First deadline date: April 1, 2020

By March 15, 2022 (don't start more than 180 days before due date)

By May 15, 2022 (don't start more than 240 days before due date)

  • Timeline of WeWork (expansion; incremental expansion only)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work:

By July 15, 2022 (don't start more than 240 days before due date)

  • Timeline of 5G (expansion; incremental expansion only)
    • Vipul's reasons for marking this as priority work:

By July 1, 2023 (start/continue any time from July 1, 2021 onward)

By January 1, 2024 (start/continue any time from January 1, 2022 onward)

Suggested time-sensitive content

With time-sensitive content, the idea may be to add a few additional important recent events to a timeline, without doing a systematic expansion. So, there may be holes in coverage. The "focused coverage period" banner on top can help to clarify the situation.

For instance, let's say you last expanded a timeline in March 2019, and it covers content till March 2019. You want to add a couple of significant events in 2020. You can do so, and keep the focused coverage period as March 2019. So readers get the information that the coverage after March 2019 will 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 done 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.✔
  • Timeline of OpenAI:
    • GPT-3 release (note from Vipul: there's already a row on this?)
  • Timeline of Salesforce and timeline of Slack: Add the definitive agreement by Salesforce to acquire Slack! (requested December 7, 2020)
  • Timeline of GiveWell: Add 2020 top charities (requested December 7, 2020); btw, I (Vipul) am okay with doing a more complete incremental expansion which might only include a couple of additional rows, but just adding top charities is fine.
  • Timeline of Animal Charity Evaluators: Add 2020 top charities (requested December 7, 2020); btw, I (Vipul) am okay with doing a more complete incremental expansion which might only include a couple of additional rows, but just adding top charities is fine.

Not ready

Returned with feedback

  • Timeline of bioethics (expansion started on 18 December 2019)
    • Vipul: There are two nearly identical rows about stem cell research in 1998. I suggest removing one of them?✔
    • Vipul: The sample questions are centered around event types. I suggest some sample questions whose answers involve sorting the "Main topic" column?
    • Google Books Ngram Viewer✔

Subwiki projects

Subwiki purpose: "Mostly for in-depth exploration/understanding of specific topics, but still not in any sequence (so people can jump directly to a specific page)". Read this: [30]

  • Build summaries for organelles based on this model [31]
  • A table of plasmodia
