Hi,

I'm tidying up pages with OOU tags when I have free time at work. I was just going over the Rag Doll page and I'm assuming the offending material in this one is the use of dates such as, "1940's" in the Golden Age section and "1970's" within the Silver, etc.

If this is the case, I understand, seeing as comic time lines are... condensed.

But I have a secondary question, when is it acceptable to use specific dates? The obvious cases being;
 * When a writer provides a specific date.
 * Stories that take place around historic events, wars, elections and interacting with 'real' persons.
 * Immortal characters (who, in theory, can have constant time lines unlike mortal characters that have endured since the Golden Age.)

Is mentioning any other dates outside these perimeters considered OOU if you're basing the period solely off the date the comic was released? Again, that makes sense to me, it's just with reading The Demon, I'm accustomed to having a lot of factual dates that then match up with publishing dates.
