For each example you list, make sure to put the source in parentheses at the end (if not, that article will be deleted unless the source can be named). Try to place more specific dates before vague dates (For example, put July 4, 1954 before July 1954 and 1954). However, if a vague date definitely occurs before a more specific one, put the vague date first (for example, July 1954 goes before August 13th, 1954). This goes for years as well; for example, 'early 18th century' would go before 1775.
 
Because this is a timeline, spoilers are very likely to appear. To avoid line after line of spoiled text, tropers should stick to using general summaries and descriptions, and try to avoid specific details. If these kind of spoilers are unavoidable, or the troper believes they're important, then the details should be listed in a hottip .<ref>use this template throughout the article</ref>.
 
Please also note that we are not using the B.C. or A.D acronyms because the acronym B.C. stands for Before Christ, or Before the Messiah, and A.D. stands for Anno Domini, or In the Year of Our Lord. These are statements of worship of him and as such are both unfair to and/or technically not accurate because of those tropers that do not worship him, as we are fairly well represented among Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Buddhists, and almost certainly have a Scientologist or two, among innumerable other non-Christian groups.

=== A note on dates: ===
 
Certain series can be correlated to the Gregorian calendar, but require fairly lengthy justifications. To avoid excessive hottips, they will be explained here in alphabetical order.
Line 35:
* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'': [http://www.dyarstraights.com/msgundam/timeline.html This timeline] indicates that UC 0001 is likely 2081.
** ''[[Gundam Wing]]'': The novelization says that the circus where Trowa Barton works is almost 600 years old; the circus' logo bears the text "Since 1667", placing ''Wing'' in the mid- to late 2200s.
* ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'': [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/24/aperture-science_3a00_-a-history.aspx This timeline] puts GLaDOS's initiation on take-your-daughter-to-work-day in 1998. ''[[Portal 2]]'' makes a few [[Retcon|retconsretcon]]s to the timeline, however.
* ''[[Star Wars]]'': The comic ''Star Wars Tales'' #19 has an alternate history story where Han Solo and Chewbacca crash the Millennium Falcon on Earth. The ship is found 126 years later by [[Indiana Jones]] and Short Round after Indy's [[Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|1939 visit to Atlantis]] (so around 1940). Because of this, ''[[A New Hope]]'' is assumed to take place in 1814.
* ''[[Strontium Dog]]'': "The Final Solution" is stated to take place in 2180, but this is inconsistent with both previously-established chronology and the way ''2000 AD'' works. A date of 2190 is consistent with established canon. Subsequent events in the series, as well as dates of events in "Judgement Day", are based on this dating.
