			:::I think I get what you're saying. I've updated it to make it much simpler and more organized. The other alternative in my mind is to take the seven unique human events (2115-2155) and put those into the Ur-Quan conflict timeline, which may or may not overly clutter that timeline. Then take the pre-conflict events, both human and alien, and include those on a separate "Prelude to conflict" timeline. But again, it becomes a question of if such a timeline would be useful/interesting or not - something which must be considered for all these timelines. --[[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]] 19:07, 12 July 2006 (CEST)

	:I completely agree. I've been using the 1024x768 (my screen size) as a guideline, hence the "Ur-quan conflict (2)" timeline (though I had to drop some early events). As for "Human history", I'm currently putting together a vertical timeline - the only downsides being it might be too big vertically and I personally don't like the look of vertical timelines. Any opinions on vertical timelines? --[[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]] 02:07, 12 July 2006 (CEST)		:I completely agree.

	The "Human history" graph doesn't fit on my screen.

	:OK, I was able to do something that kind of added in a cut. The only problem was that I couldn't find a way to get rid of the automated numbers along the horizontal time axis, hence the ugly black line across the bottom. I also wasn't able to figure out a way to show the cut on the time axis itself, but I'm still playing with it. --[[User:Fyzixfighter\|Fyzixfighter]] 08:57, 10 July 2006 (CEST)		:OK, I was able to do something that kind of added in a cut.

	Looks nice. Would it be possible to make a "cut" in a timeline? In the "Ancient galactic history" nothing interesting happens in a long time, and that space could be better used.		Looks nice.

			:Thanks. Afaik, there isn't a way to make a "cut". It certainly would be nice in that and a few other timelines that I've thought about doing. There might be a way to nearly do it, by doing two separate timelines and putting them nearly on top of one another, but I'm not sure how that would look or work. Or I could manually add in the years and a cut on the timescale, a bit of work but probably the most aesthetically pleasing way to do it. I'm also curious how the "Ancient galactic history" would look vertically.
			:Just to throw it out there, these are the timelines that I'm considering/working on:
			:*Ancient galactic history
			:*Ur-Quan conflict
			:*Human specific history - might change this to a vertical timeline
			:*Prelude to the conflict/recent galactic history - The few ET events prior to the conflict, possibly going back several thousand years.
