Date format
@GiantSnowman: Just on a matter of curiosity, what was your thinking behind changing the date format to DMY? As someone from the UK, I personally prefer it (DMY) but I tend to use mdy if handling American subjects or where there isn't a clear indicator to use one over the other. This isn't an issue, just a matter of curiosity. Thanks. Bungle (talk • contribs) 10:38, 2 July 2023 (UTC)


 * The majority of the world uses DMY - she was not American, she was European, so DMY is more appropriate. GiantSnowman 14:20, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * @GiantSnowman: Well, she gained American citizenship and thus became "American" and was thus best known as such in her latter life, but as I say, I personally prefer DMY anyway. I was just curious why you felt it superseded in this instance (insofar as maybe being policy-based that I should be mindful of for other articles). Thanks.

 * WP:DATEVAR applies generally. GiantSnowman 14:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Sounds like that actually supports leaving the date format as MDY actually! Alas, if you consider DMY is more suitable, that is fine with me. Bungle (talk • contribs) 15:04, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
