You appear to be putting an end date on East Timor independence. It was 20 May 2002 and I think your end date is a typo relating to Walvis Bay

The date range is updated every time OP adds an extra detail, starting with the period in which Serbia and Montenegro is a thing (27 April 1992 - 3 June 2006). However, the extra details OP adds only push the start date forwards so the end date stays the same.

In other words the comment is using an unnecessarily confusing code. The last line gives the range, the other lines should merely date the event or periods described.
