* The works of [[Isaac Asimov]]: Only the 20th and 21st century robot stories are assigned conclusive dates in the Gregorian calendar. The Elijah Baley stories take place approximately 3,000 years after the founding of the city of New York, sometime in the 47th century. The timeframes for the later novels are inconsistent from book to book, and may be anywhere between 13,000 and 52,000 C.E. |

* [[The Bible]]: We are using the [[wikipedia:Ussher chronology|Ussher chronology]], as that is the most well-known and popular Biblical timeline. However, since Ussher gave his dates in the Julian calendar, they must be converted into Gregorian dates; this can be done [http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/calendar/ here]. Due to different methods of calculating leap years and the fact that the Gregorian calendar includes a year 0 CE, Gregorian dates will tend to differ from those stated by Ussher by a year and several weeks. |

* ''[[Code Geass]]'': The dating system ('Ascension Throne Britannia'; a.t.b.) is jumbled, with an epoch 55 years before the Common Era's, but most events with historical antecedents happen at the same numerical date as in ours. (Washington's Rebellion is still placed in the 1770s, for instance.) Placement will assume the systems match up, with a note on the possible alternate year for events. |

* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'': Dates are given in the ''DragonBall Daizenshuu'', via the ''Dragonball'' Wiki. Note that the source material uses 'Before Age' and 'Age', but there is no logical epoch or real-world basis for this, so these are just assumed as 'Before Common Era' and 'Common Era', until any more information comes in regarding this. As for ''[[Dragon Ball GT|GT]]'', according to official sources, it is set 5 years after ''Z'' (i.e. 15 years after the Buu saga), however the Funimation dub changes this to ten years after ''Z''. |
