--- Comment #243 from S. McCandlish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-11-27 01:31:34 UTC --- Re: > No, but it IS a reason why date formats for anons can't be different based on the browser settings indicated by the Accept-Language header. All anons would need to see the same date format, which is fine by me (just make the default the "international" format of DMY and screw any jingoist Americans who are confused or offended by that, or let them register and set a preference) but that has already been soundly rejected by the community, multiple times. I'm not so sure. I'm unaware of anyone actually involved in the discussion, here or at w:en:WP:MOSNUM, upset by the idea any longer. It clearly would have the benefit of consistency over the current practice, which is willy-nilly and confusing even to editors, much less readers. PS: I am an American. Non-Yank date formatting doesn't bother me at all, and anyone upset to apoplexy about it needs to find a new hobby or something. ANY change to the way MW works generally, and more specifically how it works at WP, will ruffle a few people's feathers, but it chills out quickly and life goes on. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
