Talk:Documenting Hate

Date style in references
In this article, publication dates (and revision dates, if any) are given with the month spelled out, while access (retrieval) and archival dates are given in strictly numerical ISO 8601 format. Please do not change the access and archival dates to any format other than ISO 8601, including the format used for publication dates. Also, please do not change the publication and revision dates to ISO 8601, or to any format that does not fully spell out the month.

The difference in format serves a useful purpose. The ISO 8601 format makes access and archival dates less conspicuous, while drawing more attention to the publication and revision dates, which are likely to be of more interest to readers. Use of the same format for all dates in citations makes the article worse, not better.
