The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project: Timeline Editing

From The Chicago Hip-Hop History Project

This is a how to for working on the timelines.

Timeline Editing:

  • Tense: Timeline headlines and copy are default past-tense (unless that does make sense for a particular reason).
  • Headlines: When writing about historical developments (inventions, performances, etc.), it's generally recommended to use the past tense, such as "so and so invented the windmill." This convention helps to indicate that the event occurred in the past.
