Untitled[edit]

An issue was raised as to whether the chronology would be better in prose vs. a presentation in point form with dates. My impression is that "chronology" lends itself to a list - ie more succinct and easier to grasp the salient dates and events. In most artist monographs there is a chronology and they are always (as far as I can recall) in point form.

I would suggest prose is appropriate for a biography section - 2 different things. Once again in artist's monographs there is typically a biography portion done in prose. That is, a good monograph has both.

I don't feel strongly about it being changed but am curious to know why someone thinks prose is better for conveying this information.

I would ask the person posting the prose suggestion to reconsider and, if felt appropriate, remove the posting. Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 934C (talk • contribs) 21:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
