Hovercraft construction dates[]

This Page features the dates of construction of some of the Hovercrafts. Now the dates are in the 21^st Century. I think that the date it as per the beliefs of the humans that they are in the year 2199 but as it is speculated, the year is somewhere around 2699, shouldn't the construction dates be in the 26^th or the 27^th Century? --Nisheeth (Leave message)-- 08:50, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

I think that they're supposed to be ancient ships made by Machines during the Second Renaissance and steadily repaired by Zion up to the present day. That said, they could have been forgeries produced by the Machines with false dates for each new Zion, with the early years on the nameplates making the humans believe in the 2199 date. --xensyria^T 11:59, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

So what shoulld be done about the dates in the Page.--Nisheeth (Leave message)-- 13:51, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

I would keep the dates, though they look out of place. Perhaps put the same note after each using <ref name=hovercraft>text</ref> and then <ref name=hovercraft/> for each subsequent date.

It's especially odd if the Machines continued making human transport after they had won the war, but what evidence is there for the dates of the Machine War? What actual sources do we have? --xensyria^T 00:41, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Merging articles[]

I think it would be betteer to merge the history article with the timeline arrtcile, since both of them have the same scope!

Hi Ogatreal. Yeah, they're very similar, but with different emphasis:

History is done era-by-era and year-by-year based on events in the series from an in-universe perspective.
Timeline on the other hand shows what the "chronological order" of all the films, animations, games & comics are from an out-of-universe perspective (i.e. which ones are set before the others)

That said, the article names don't make this difference very clear: perhaps we could come up with better names to make this easier to understand. Any suggestions? --xensyria^T 13:02, May 17, 2017 (UTC)

Matrix 1 and 2[]

Isn't Matrix Reloaded set six months after Matrix 1, not four years later? It was a four year gap out of universe but not in-universe.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 21:02, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, that is true. The date went unchecked for so long that it was just naturally built upon.
