More references edit

This timeline is extremely well done! A few more references should tighten it up nicely though. I try to get some listed soon, but have added a Onesource tag in the meantime.

Vietnam War References edit

Given the title of this article, there are a number of referrences that don't belong, specificly anything to do with the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers, or really almost anything before June 17, 1972. If no one objects in the next week or so I'll delete them. (Morethan3words (talk) 09:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC))Reply

Re-work edit

I have made some substantial changes to this timeline as it was missing some critical points. Also, I have removed most of the references to the Pentagon papers, Daniel Ellsberg, and the Vietnam war. The reason for this is that while the Pentagon papers certainly contributed greatly to the events that would become Watergate, and as such I have left in many statements that recognize this fact, the Pentagon papers and the Watergate scandals are not one and the same, and to concentrate too heavily on Ellsberg and the Pentagon papers only confuses an already very complicated set of events.

Great Encyclopedia (not) edit

Wiki claims to be encyclopedic, yet one sees stuff like "CREEP" used to refer to the COmmittee to Reelect the President - Wiki's own article on this subject states "abbreviated CRP but often mocked by the acronym CREEP..." Since when does an encyclopedia use a derogatory, joke term, guess when it's Wiki...which itself is a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.51.66.32 (talk) 13:52, 25 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Deaths edit

I removed the deaths from the list as they weren't relevant to the timeline. In this case, it's just trivia.—GoldRingChip 18:46, 10 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
