Category talk:Use dmy dates

Yes, I have used- have continued to use - dmy dates. That's what I was told to use, and my use of other styles of dates was corrected into dmy dates. What tripe to have the standard recorrected on yet another whim-- my own patience is fraying, and I used to have more of it than some. Schissel | Sound the Note! 05:35, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Preference
I prefer the yyyymmdd as used in the Internet standards. --Diamondland (talk) 08:26, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Purpose of this cat?
I can't see any purpose in articles being put into this cat and its subsidiaries, if MOSNUM makes it perfectly clear they can/should use dmy. I am intending to remove any such articles that meet the relevant criteria from these cats as I come across them unless someone can provide a rationale for keeping them there. There seems to be no explanation overleaf. Ben  Mac  Dui  13:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not saying that the pages shouldn't use dmy. It's saying that they do use dmy and hence should continue to use dmy. Rich Farmbrough, 13:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC).

Belatedly: oh! completely, entirely misunderstood that... and have gotten it wrong since then too. not good. thank you for the correction (sincerely appreciated.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:29, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
