Talk:Seongsu Bridge disaster

Date format
Korea (both North and South) uses dmy dates. So why does this article use mdy dates? Any issue with me fixing that?  Schwede 66  17:32, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * And may I point out that as per MOS:ORDER, the external links section is supposed to be the last one?  Schwede 66  17:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Schwede66 I've fixed your MOS:ORDER concern, but Korea uses the YMD, not DMY date format (because categories in the Korean language are ordered from largest to smallest). However, MOS:DATE states that there is no way to phrase the YMD date format for general use so I used the MDY date format that I'm familiar with. This is also consistent with Wikipedia policy (WP:DATEOVER) which states that the MOS guidelines on a particular date format when the article has strong national ties only applies to English-speaking countries. In addition, because of the YMD format used in Korea, to a Korean-speaker "October 24" reads much more naturally than "24 October". : 3 F4U (they/it) 23:07, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
