The America/Kentucky/Monticello entry is incorrect
editThe offsets and time zone columns of America/Kentucky/Monticello are incorrect.
The time zone should be CST/CDT, and the offsets -6:00 / -5:00

- Nope, the entry in the tzdb northamerica file, in the 2023c release, for that tzdb region is
# # Wayne County, Kentucky # # From Lake Cumberland LIFE # http://www.lake-cumberland.com/life/archive/news990129time.shtml # (1999-01-29) via WKYM-101.7: # Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from # the Central to the Eastern time zone.... The Wayne County government made # the same request in December. And while Russell County officials have not # taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in # August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also. # The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S. # location in the Central time zone. # # From Rich Wales (2000-08-29): # After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion, # Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern # (-0500) time. They won't "fall back" this year. See Sara Shipley, # The difference an hour makes, Nando Times (2000-08-29 15:33 -0400). # # From Paul Eggert (2001-07-16): # The final rule was published in the # Federal Register 65, 160 (2000-08-17), pp 50154-50158. # https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-08-17/html/00-20854.htm # Zone America/Kentucky/Monticello -5:39:24 - LMT 1883 Nov 18 18:00u -6:00 US C%sT 1946 -6:00 - CST 1968 -6:00 US C%sT 2000 Oct 29 2:00 -5:00 US E%sT
- so it's currently on Eastern time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guy Harris (talk • contribs) 00:24, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Europe/Dublin notes
editI'm probably one of the people (like this one in the talk) not immediately understanding why Europe/Dublin columns are inverted. The note on the right column isn't completely clear: I'd add something like (citing the talk) While most countries use the term "Standard Time" to mean the time that used in winter, the Irish legislation is written such that "Standard Time" applies in summer. -- Massic80 (talk) 14:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Anyway, the UTC offset seems to be wrong (flipped). The resulting UTC offset should be the same as for (e.g. London) 2.228.40.100 (talk) 14:31, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I un-inverted them, adding text to the sections describing the "UTC offset" and "Time zone abbreviations" columns saying that 1) Ireland is different here and 2) "SDT" means "winter time" and "DST" means "summer time" in Ireland, even though "summer time" is standard time there (complete with citations for the Irish statutes making it so).
