List of International Mathematical Olympiads
previous FLC (13:13, 24 March 2008)

I'm resubmitting only hours after the last one closed: There was only one major issue left (the date formatting) and that's been addressed. You can read everything else in the previous nomination. Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 17:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment
 * Support - my major concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Why are the dates dd month year - month dd? Particularly why is it date first then month first? It looks all range. Personally I'd go for dd month - dd month year or month dd - month dd year. Peanut4 (talk) 19:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How about year month dd - month dd? Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 19:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That wouldn't work for those running over month than one month, and is still inconsistent. Both the first and second entry need to be either date first or month first. See WP:DATE for full details. Peanut4 (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry don't know what I read first time. Yes year month dd - month dd, would be fine. See WP:DATE for full details of acceptable date formats. Keep them consistent, and it's fine. Peanut4 (talk) 19:58, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and you need to check the dates of the first olympiad. It goes back in time at the moment. Peanut4 (talk) 19:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I reformatted some of the dates, but they didn't show up! You can view the source to verify that I changed it, but the month is still first on the article. I tried purging the server cache, but no result... Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 20:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why but I'm not "feeling" this list, even though there's nothing wrong with it and it does, after all, meet the criteria, is well written, and follows the MOS and all other policies and guidelines. Support. -- ṃ• α• Ł• ṭ• ʰ• Ə• Щ•   @  06:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Good list, but the reference for the 2001 competition is about the 2000 one instead.  weburiedoursecrets  inthegarden  08:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 23:06, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Right. Support then, good job.  weburiedoursecrets  inthegarden  16:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
