Talk:Struck by Lightning (2012 film)

Since this was submitted in mdy format, shouldn't it still be in that format?

From reading on Wikipedia policies and understanding the date rules, I'd like to know why it was okay for someone to switch the date format to DMY? It was originally submitted in MDY but then it was switched over which, from what I can tell, is against the policy of Wikipedia date rules on articles. When it was first written back in 2011, it was submitted under the MDY format. However, someone suddenly decided and changed the format in 2021. So it was the MDY format for 10 years, and then it got changed to DMY, not because it should've been done, but just because someone wanted to do it?

This is something that needs to be addressed to try to understand why it was okay to suddenly switch the dates over to a completely different format despite the fact that it was submitted under a specific date format in the first place 10 years prior and as to why a person is allowed to switch it back to DMY just because they want and prefer it that way themselves.

I do believe that the country a movie or TV show was made in should match the date format of that local. However, I'm more than aware personal opinions have absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia policies. This is why I want to know why it is okay for someone to continue shifting all the articles they edit to their personal preferences about the date formats in the first place.
