User:Smjg/dateformat

Please refrain from using purely numeric date formats on Wikipedia, as you did on :. A date written as 01/02/03 means 1 February 2003 to a European, 2 January 2003 to an American or 3 February 2001 to a Japanese. Rather, use one of the date formats that is standard across Wikipedia: ' for articles on British/European topics, ' for articles on American topics, otherwise just keep it consistent throughout the article. Formats such as   or the ISO format  may also be used where brevity is desired such as in tables. Please see Manual of Style/Dates and numbers for more information on how to write dates in Wikipedia articles. Thank you.
