Verb tense[edit]

Is there a reason I am not seeing why we are using present tense throughout this timeline? As far as I know the convention is to use past tense. Elinruby (talk) 06:35, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, as per MOS:PRESENT, the convention is to use the present tense. See Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections for an example of a more fully developed timeline article that does this. James Hyett (talk) 16:44, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
