I wonder why the dates in the 25th meridian west from Washington article look so awkward. Anyway, that is my opinion; maybe someone else likes them.
The dates look approximately like this:
On 1861-01-29...
In stead of something like
"On January 29, 1861..." or "In 1861, on January 29..."
I was going to change these dates to something like "January 291861", but I hesitate. The dates have probably been styled that way for some specific purpose that I do not yet understand.
I guess that is has something to do with reader's date formatting preference. Can somebody answer these questions:
Am I the only person that finds those dates look awkward?
These dates are automatically displayed in each user's preferred date and time format. Please change your preferred date format in the "my preferences" display. Thanks, --Buaidh13:00, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your advice, but I prefer to stick to the default formatting. At least I will be able to see what my edits look like to the ocasional user. I also got some informative replies on my question at the Help desk. However, I will not edit the dates in this article. Johan Lont14:27, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
