Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers
Hello Wirlwhind,

As a fellow editor I've come to notify you about your edits to Zygmunt Zaleski, Chindasuinth and Landry of Paris.

Wikipedia has specific guidelines on where a date format should be changed in an article, and I quote:

"The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable." (WP:MOSNUM)

I will not revert your edits to avoid and edit war but to help you in the future I will post here the table of approved date formats from WP:MOSNUM:

Any other date format not on this table should be replaced with one of the formats above.

Feel free to delete this message if it bothers you, I hope you have a wonderful day! FlagFlayer (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)


 * User:Wirlwhind I haven't linked your use beforehand so I'll assume you haven't seen my message. I'm contacting you again about these edits you made in the following articles:


 * Stakliškės - After reforms of the Great Sejm, on January 16, 1792 → After reforms of the Great Sejm, on 16 January 1792 &  Presidential decree on December 18, 1997. → Presidential decree on 18 December 1997.


 * Kornel Morawiecki - born May 3, 1941, → born 3 May 1941, &  At the end of May, 1982, → At the end of May 1982,


 * Jan Želivský - On July 30, 1419, → On 30 July 1419, &  On March 9, 1422, → On 9 March 1422,


 * Killalady - January 25, 2011 → 25 January 2011


 * Här står jag - June 13, 2007 → 13 June 2007


 * These edits do not have any substantial reason besides style as they neither promote date format uniformity or change unacceptable date formats.


 * I'm urging you to stop making these edits as they both are not adding anything to the article, and are against Wikipedia policy WP:MOSNUM,


 * Thank you for reading my message, I wish you the best of luck as an editor on Wikipedia - Flag  Flayer  22:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
