:I agree that the respective lists should have events listed in chronological order.  Whether that is the standard, I cannot say.  But I will say that I think the lack of order within certain lists has to do with the piecemeal nature of their compilation, i.e. facts are added one at a time rather than in one big block.  So they are just added to the end of their lists without regard to when they occur in the series/episode, to which I admit my own fault. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 17:06, 27 June 2011 (CEST)

Am I correct to assume that allusions, goofs and continuity (in the episode articles) should be listed in chronological order? Others seldom seem to care about this, but I generally put it in the right order. I recently went through the "Hell Is Other Robots" article, and saw in the allusions section a bunch of mistakes, including mentioning the reference to Divine Comedy three separate times. It is much better to have it in order of when it appears in the episode, and one can easily go through it properly. - akitalk 13:06, 27 June 2011 (CEST)
