I also think I'll give you a bit of explanation of why I changed your edit to Alexander Fleming. "December 21 1943" and "21 December 1943" are both of them valid. "December 21" is the American way to write it, while much of the rest of the world uses "21 December". Wikipedia policy is to not favor one over the other. Instead we just try to be consistent within an article (and not change that without a good reason). It looks like the Alexander Fleming article uses the "21 December" style mostly, so I changed it back to keep it consistent. For more details on the policy see WP:DATE. -- Why Not A Duck 22:30, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
