Talk:Narnian timeline

I have compared this timeline to the earliest published, which is the one in Walter Hoopers "Past Watchful Dragons" published in 1979 (10 years prior of Brian Sibleys work). As it differs slightly in wording I changed it to match these earliest texts as they are, most likely, the closest to C.S. Lewis own wording, as I don't trust Collins, now HarperCollins with being the most accurate, as the timeline they provide today is even more heavily edited and changed from what was presented here AND in Hoopers "Past Watchful Dragons". The only change I made to these texts was replacing the abbreviations "K." and "Q." with "King" and "Queen" respectively. In order to stay truest to Lewis Canon, I think this, his own timeline in his own words and stated as that in the main article, should be left with as minimal changes as would be necessary.

Therefore, I changed this in order to replicate the Timeline in its earliest published, pure and unchanged form known.

There were also the additions of Wikia users that I removed, because as it was presented as "C.S. Lewis' Timeline of Narnia so far as it is known" any change or addition rendered it not being "C.S. Lewis own timeline that he wrote" anymore, but Wikia's own timeline. Not to say that Wikia can't have its own timeline of Narnia, go ahead and do one using the old one as a template in a sub-section, however, saying it was "C.S. Lewis' Timeline of Narnia" wasn't correct as it wasn't C.S. Lewis timeline as he wrote it.

 * Good call, but if you have access to both "officially published" versions, please add the changes in the later editions in footnotes, so that comparisons can be made, and readers with just the later edition don't think "this is wrong!" and go ahead and edit it without checking here. -- xensyria T 23:40, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Edmund and Lucy
If Edmund was born late in 1930 and Lucy early in 1932, that would put their births not much more than a year apart, close enough for casual mention. Also, the "Controversy" paragraph seems to imply that Lucy is older than Edmund… HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 11:30, May 20, 2019 (UTC)


 * Have made some changes following your suggestion – feel free to jump in and make some changes to it directly if you want to! -- xensyria T 14:07, May 20, 2019 (UTC)
