Verses by Decade Standard For Pre-1800 Verses

[Mariogoods]

Recently, I have noticed this:

1300s

vsbattles.fandom.com

However, the problem is that the publish year of pre-1800 verses is hard to determine, even by academic standards.
For example, English Wikipedia has noted the publish year of The Divine Comedy as such:

[...] begun c. 1308 and completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321

Another example is Journey to the West. English Wikipedia has noted the publish year as such:

c. 1592 (print)

I'm not even start to note The Epic of Gilgamesh, which is.

c. 2100–1200 BC

Therefore, I post this thread for a possible solution of this problem.

Just list it as century. Most old poems and stuff are known to come from certain centuries. So anything before ethe 1800s should just be centuries.

As the one who started Verses by Decade, I agree that I didn’t look too far ahead of publication dates that are forgotten by recorded history.

Therefore, I post this thread for a possible solution of this problem.

While I can’t think of an immediate solution, perhaps a category (like suggested above) could be made for verses with unknown publications?

This seems like a good solution to me.

Bump.

What do you think about this?

 

[Crabwhale]

I didn't even know we listed the publishing date.

We have listed them by decade.

[Agnaa]

I think we should just go by centuries for earlier verses.

 

[Just_a_Random_Butler]

I agree with Agnaa.

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

So can this be applied now?

 

[Mariogoods]

It seems that it can be applied, but what's the standard of "earlier"? I feel that the standard of "earlier" is the verse which has no accurate ymd release date avaliable.

I think this post suggestion works.

Would listing by decade from the 1800s and listing by century before that be a good approach?

 

[Firestorm808]

For far older stuff, I think Centuries would fit best.

 

[IdiosyncraticLawyer]

Bump. I agree with listing the century.

 

[Antvasima]

I think that this revision seems fine to apply then.

 

[Crabwhale]

Seems I forgot to reply here.

Yes this seems fine.

 

[Antvasima]

I suppose that we should write some instructions here then:

How about this?

When listing franchises created before the 1800s, list them by century instead, as it can be difficult to determine exact dates for these older works.

 

[Mariogoods]

How about this?

I think so.

 

[Antvasima]

I have applied the change. Is this acceptable?

Yes. We can close this thread now.

Okay. I will do so. Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
