Site-specific initiatives

• Edit old pages here for tone and grammar.
  • past tense
  • spellcheck pass
  • reassess the frame narrative: from how late a perspective is this being written, it it’s written after everything came to pass? Does the Federation Survey Service still exist? Or is this something from the Dark History?
  • Normalize the uses of “colony”, “banchi”/”bunch”, and “side”.
• Add timeline of Zeonism developments; cite this post
• Figure out where to put this who shot first writeup.
• Graph media from zeonism_progress.csv on a chart: one axis for UC year, one axis for AD year
  • add data to zeonism_progress.csv for which media considers which to be canon
  • draw arrows for that on the chart
  • Origin Manga =/= OVA
  • Origin OVA -> Cucuruz Doan movie
