Updated based on a read through of the entire timeline thread for any neglected information.

I agree. I would probably say something like "The date mortal history says Dracula is born" if I was writing the timeline.

Edit: Do we have a date for the Camp Kaboom segment?

cass:
Other than a vague notion of sometime between Dead Bead and White Night, no.
(There's nothing to indicate that it didn't happen before Proven Guilty, but if I had to guess, I'd say that the lack of commentary on it in PG-- especially in light of the Rampire ambush on a warden training camp-- means that it happened somewhere between PG and WN.  And, what with the mentions of heat, it happened in the summer-- north of Albuquerque simply isn't all that warm in the winter months.)

Booyah! I finally found out when the Camp Kaboom segment took place.

--- Quote from: White Night page 45 ---"I went out to New Mexico this spring."
"Why?"
Helping Luccio train baby Wardens,"

And on the next page:

--- Quote ---"So we spent about two days turning thirty acres of sand and scrub into glass. Then a couple of the Read Court's ghouls showed up and killed two kids."

New Update:
I've been reading over the timeline closely and the individual timelines need to be updated from the information in the main timeline. For example, Harry and Murphy's ages have been established for Storm Front but their timelines don't reflect that. Also Harry's exact day of birth needs to be added to his timeline.

Also, if Harry was born in 1972 then we know the exact dates that everything happened since we have his exact age (25) when Storm Front took place. That puts Storm Front in 1998 (taking Harry's birthday into account) which is a little strange given that in the first chapter Harry spoke of the turn of the Millennium in the past tense.

Praeceps:
Correction: I was looking up where Harry's birth year was given and realized that it is based off Jim's comment that Harry is about nine months younger than he is. That doesn't necessarily mean Harry's was born nine months after Jim. It could simply mean that Harry is Jim's current age minus nine months during Changes. Since we don't know the exact date of the books that doesn't tell us much since a variable minus a constant is still a variable. For example if a book was set in the Forgotten Realms, both the character and the writer could be the same age (both being 29) even if the character was born in 1374 DR and the writer in 1982 C.E..
