Proof-reading EG
I notice a lot of one-year discrepancies here; these are probably caused by the process of converting from c.e. to AT.
I'll go for the later date in most cases. 365 it is.

Agreed that the sentence is too long. Suggested corrections below:

Work on the Pliny began in Clarke Orbital Docks in AT 270 thanks to a grant by a consortium of infomining corporations, including Global Knowledge Transplanetary and Delphi Cislunar. Design problems and constant bickering between the science team (who wanted a ship big enough to store everything), the engineering team (who wanted it to be a viable vessel with sufficient Delta-V), and the corporate sponsors (who were concerned about spiraling costs and constant delays), meant that the vessel was launched some 12 years after the planned 274 date and was too small for the scientists and too unwieldy to satisfy the engineers.

Not major changes, but breaks it into two sentences and cuts out a couple of words. I'd be fine with cutting out the stuff in parentheses as well, but wanted to know what others thought.

I've updated the timeline to match the Museum Ship article and the Museum Ship article as described above.

Thanks!

330 - Stasist AIs gradually reach a consensus, after marginalizing the ahumans and their incompatible plans.

http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b2b10d8b211

Over time, the stasists did gradually reach a consensus around 401 a.t. (2370 c.e.), but only after marginalizing the ahumans with their incompatible plans. These anti-humans joined the solipsists in a quiet outward push: as interstellar exploration had become increasingly feasible, the solipsist fraction has begun infiltrating outward-bound probes (often instigating their construction and inserting themselves as the true payload, a technique later used by their descendants in silicon generation) or even constructing early nanotech von Neumann probes.

325 - The stasist AI "0110110", Shaftoe's Freemarket Hacking Conglomerate and the Al Gea Riyad cluster crash and rebuild the Sudanese market.

http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-topic/45b2b10d8b211

During the 3rd and 4th centuries a.t. the stasists were busy building empires, but ran into each other all the time. There were simply too many AIs and too many unrelated plans going on - the classic example is how the Zürich Orbital ai "0110110", Shaftoe's Freemarket Hacking Conglomerate and the Al Gea Riyad cluster crashed and rebuilt the Sudanese market in 326. The dynamists worsened the situation by allowing further ais, encouraging both cyborgization and superbright humans, helping cosmist groups and promoting the spread of smart software such as the FES. The stasists responded with repeated attempts to create an 'AI Government' (the dreaded AI OverGovernment of anti-ai propaganda) to coordinate all AIs and bring others into the line, but AI-AI diplomacy was not particularly subtle and the goals often mutually incompatible.

407 - Outbreak of retroviral typhoid on the Luna settlement at Flamsteed crater. Following this, GeneTEK develops a modified nematode as an antiviral/antibacterial agent.

Following the outbreak of retroviral typhoid on the Luna settlement at Flamsteed crater in 377 a.t., Genetek developed a nematode-like defence system as an antiviral/antibacterial agent. At first expensive the treatment soon became indispensable.

Fixed- that is just one typo, in the 'minor article' The Sparks. It is repeated on every page that the Sparks article is related to.

In the article about Ahuman AIs, these events are described as occurring between 300 AT and 500 AT, so it is possible that both figures are correct; but since both articles seem to refer to the same event, we should really synchronise them. Let's go for 401.
