Please don't change the format of dates. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

Dates are usually enclosed in two square brackets, as in 12 December or December 12. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in the Manual of Style. Rules specific to dates and numbers can be seen in the Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on the web's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). -NatureBoyMD (talk) 23:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Southern Comfort
Regarding your changes your changes to the article. Normally I would just want to call your attention to the rather silly problem of "English - which spelling?" It does seem rather spurious to see people change words to their favoured spelling, especially when looking at the article seems to contradict those changes. Here it would seem that using British English spellings in an article about an American libation is not the right thing to do.

But what forced me to write is that you also corrected the spelling of some words - incorrectly. If you follow the links to the website, you will see their introduction "Welcome to The Thirsty Traveler, a weekly journey into the heart of the world's greatest wine, beer and spirit producing regions." That is, in trying to correct the spelling of 'traveler' to 'traveller', you have introduced errors! In particular you broke the link to The Thirsty Traveler by substituting The Thirsty Traveller. Rather than trying to undo some changes and keep other spelling changes, I'll undo the entire edit. Shenme (talk) 03:53, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Spelling changes
Please see WP:ENGVAR before making anymore spelling dialect changes like the one to Food coloring. VMS Mosaic (talk) 18:58, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
