While that second list is definitely a period we can use, I see a lot of names in the first list that barely have any relevance, like the Draft Riots or the Palmer Raids. These are events rather than periods, and would hardly have anything fit into them anyway. Not to mention things like the Age of Discovery and Spanish Civil War which are completely ignored there. I agree with trying to stay in line with what terms that have been used there - but not to the point where we're just being misguided. However, I still think the bigger issue remains what images to use rather than what terms to use. | While that second list is definitely a period we can use, I see a lot of names in the first list that barely have any relevance, like the Draft Riots or the Palmer Raids.

In any case, my suggestion was not to follow either exactly, but as one source we can defer to as a general guide along with any others in the series. For the second list, I actually disagree with "the Levant" and "Constantinople", even "Renaissance Italy" because I find those to be referring to locations not time periods.
I agree that which images we would use would be the bigger issue, but first off, do we actually all agree that we should go by the third option presented to use actual eras?
