Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

WP:DATEVAR

European event - European date format

This is very explicitly contravening what WP:DATEVAR actually says. To whatever extent you've enforced this interpretation in other articles, you need to undo it. Remsense ‥ 论 11:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

MOS:RETAIN states When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another. It seems a lot of the articles you have changed/reverted to mdy format have no ties at all to the USA. Orange sticker (talk) 12:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't get it twisted: I'm undoing unilateral switches to DMY that are totally unjustifiable both by what WP:DATEVAR clearly says, and what has been hashed out in talk discussions over and over again over the years. Remsense ‥ 论 12:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

You are mixing up unilateral switches with date consistency. I might be guilty of unilateral switching in a few articles, but the main rule is that the date formats should be consistent in the article, and in many articles, they aren't. In those cases I pick the most suitable format for the subject. Marbe166 (talk) 13:20, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

No, I made a couple mistakes in reverting a few dozen of yours. Remsense ‥ 论 13:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
