dmy should be used
editSince Michael is from Norway, this article should be using dmy format, not the USA format mdy. DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Per MOS:DATETIES, because Norway is not an English speaking country, it does not matter what format is used. Therefore, per MOS:DATERET, MDY should be kept. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 14:44, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- That is actually seen as disrespectful to not use the standard format that is used in the country of citizenship, since the person is not a citizen of a country that uses mdy. It should be seen as an uncontroversial edit. DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 14:48, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- That may be so, but the manual of style dictates otherwise. Please follow the guidelines even if you disagree with them. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 15:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- The guidelines MOS:DATERET allows me to question the use of mdy, even tho its not an "English-speaking country", thanks to the sentence ", or consensus on the article's talk page". DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 15:12, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- There was no such consensus, you just made the decision to change it. If there are no other comments then consensus is in your favor and I will acquiesce. Wheatzilopochtli (talk) 15:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Support DMY Den. That policy is a bludgeon for American mdy usage. Llammakey (talk) 15:27, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- I never said I had consensus, I'm saying there are room for discussion. I've made similar changes for a long time in a different rows of topics, and no one have ever had a problem with me doing it. You know why? Becuase I've done it in articles that makes the change uncontroversial, for most people that is. I would never change mdy to dmy in an article where the article subject has a strong connection to a country that uses mdy (if I'm unsure about what the country use, I'm letting it stay). I've also changed dmy to mdy, but not as much. Yes, I extremely dislike the mdy format, but I still respect it, where it actually belongs. DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 16:19, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with you Den. There is no common sense reason that Swedish, Norwegian, Ukrainian or any other nation's topics that uses DMY should be MDY. Llammakey (talk) 19:13, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
