Talk:John Spargo

Spargo was a British-born American
Thus, date should be in American format. Change made back to American format, please leave it. See the passage previously cited of Wikipedia policy on dates: In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee stated that when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for an editor to change an article from one to the other without substantial reason. For example, with respect to British date formats as opposed to American it would be acceptable to change from American format to British if the article concerned a British subject. Edit warring over optional styles (such as 14 February and February 14) is unacceptable. If an article has been stable in a given style, it should not be converted without a style-independent reason. Where in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor. Carrite (talk) 19:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC) (first major contributor, who de-stubbed this thing...)
