Your suggestion

Place one moment on the timeline.

Use your own wording and include a reliable source. Fields without an Optional label are required.

01 The momentEvent title

Write a specific event rather than a broad era or biography.

Category

02 The date

Year

Era

Date certainty

Choose “Approximate date” when the evidence supports an estimate rather than an exact year. QuoAnno uses BC and AD, and deep time is welcome: type 68000000 with BC for the dinosaurs.

03 The explanationShort explanation

Your own wording, please. An editor writes the final question copy.

Why is this an interesting QuoAnno question?

04 The evidenceReliable source

Please prefer museums, archives, universities, official organisations and established reference sources. Wikipedia is welcome as supporting reading, but a stronger source alongside it helps the review a great deal.

Up to three sources. A date that two independent sources agree on is much quicker to accept.

Notes for the editors Optional

I wrote this suggestion in my own words and provided a source that QuoAnno may review.
