The America/Kentucky/Monticello entry is incorrect
The offsets and time zone columns of America/Kentucky/Monticello are incorrect.

The time zone should be CST/CDT, and the offsets -6:00 / -5:00

Europe/Dublin notes
I'm probably one of the people (like this one in the talk) not immediately understanding why Europe/Dublin columns are inverted. The note on the right column isn't completely clear: I'd add something like (citing the talk) While most countries use the term "Standard Time" to mean the time that used in winter, the Irish legislation is written such that "Standard Time" applies in summer. -- Massic80 (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Anyway, the UTC offset seems to be wrong (flipped). The resulting UTC offset should be the same as for (e.g. London) 2.228.40.100 (talk) 14:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
