Vertipedia Notes
Vertipedia notes are brief descriptions of how and why Vertipedia works the way it does. Check back often for the latest note, or view the complete list.
Milestone dates
Wherever possible, the exact date of a milestone is provided. In some case, the exact date is not known and only the month and year are available. Wherever this is the case the last day of the month is used with a note in the description to say that the exact date is unknown. The last day of the month is used as a conservative estimate of the actual date of the event. In a few cases, there is conflicting data regarding the exact date and a note has been added to highlight the alternative date.
