Neural networks are a small part of the much larger field of machine learning, yet 80% of the events in the timeline involve advances in neural networks.

How are the recent events added to the page on the same scale as the historical ones? Facebook "detailing" an **internal** tool (FBLearner Flow) is an event now? or Google "detailing their work" on a different internal proprietary product is an event worth marking in the timeline of machine learning how? Why is the release of TensorFlow an event, when Theano isn't, while TensorFlow was more or less a copy of Theano at the time of release? The fact that humans have been outperformed in object recognition is not an event, but the fact that Facebook beat a benchmark on identifying faces is?
Most of the events before 2000 are actually worth mentioning and everyone knows about them. However, what has been added to that table after that period can only be described as a mess produced by companies who think they can write history by literally editing Wikipedia and mark their events important.
Is there any sort of standard to the table? Can I add anything I want as long as I have a news coverage to cite? Or perhaps do I need to be a big multi-national first?
