Title change?

[edit]

Why is this article called "Chronology" while all of the other months' similar articles are called "Timeline"? Should this page be renamed? Liz Read! Talk! 22:08, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, we may be splitting the other pages accordingly afterwards. Tenryuu 🐲💬 • 📝) 22:18, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe this could be done at the same time. Liz Read! Talk! 22:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz: @Tenryuu: I agree consistency argues for a move. Look for an RM discussion from me below, shortly. UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:45, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in March 2020Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 – I know this came up in the split discussion, but a move would be consistent with other related pages such as Timeline of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic in April 2020, as well as withe general (though not universal) en-WP preference for "Timeline" over "Chronology" UnitedStatesian (talk) 13:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • This page and the others are far too detailed and stray too much into WP:NOTNEWS territory. I get that these events are foremost in people's minds, and that it feels like we're helping by giving morbid day-by-day tallies from every country in the world, but this page needs to be consolidated and rebuilt as an encyclopedia article. For example, daily totals can be more concisely represented in chart form. Before that's done, I don't see the point of a naming discussion because, depending on how the page is constructed and aligned/remerged with similar ones, a different title may be more appropriate. -- Netoholic @ 15:08, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support after reading the request (originally oppose). The "Chronology" term was only used because of the old section heading. If the article was created freshly now, this is what it would be called. >>BEANS X2t 15:02, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support the rename as proposed but also agree with Netoholic's comment that the article is not useful for Wikipedia. --Marc Kupper|talk 14:43, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also support name change for consistency, but all of these need to be entirely reworked. Daily "X country reported N cases and M deaths" with an arbitrary selection of countries repeated over and over serves no reader well at all. We have loads of statistical tables that present this data, the NEWS presentation is not navigable and worthless at its size. Reywas92Talk 08:08, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 12:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you have information pertaining to Ontario, you are better off engaging with editors in COVID-19 pandemic in Ontario. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 19:53, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, but you can state here what change you think should be made, giving your source for the information, so that an established editor can assess it and decide whether to make the change you suggest. JBW (talk) 12:35, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
