April 2008

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Red Bee Media. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

Dates are usually enclosed in two square brackets, as in [[12 December]] or [[December 12]]. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Rules specific to dates and numbers can be seen in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on the web's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). Thank you. _TalkIslander 22:34, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to change Date formats - see - Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). Registered users can change date formats in "My Preferences" to suit themselves, if they are formatted [[Day of Month Month]] or [[Month Day of Month]], as mentioned in you last message from Islander. There's plenty of USEful things to do in Wikipedia! Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 18:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Wasted time

Why are you wasting your time modifying dates? Wikipedia automatically reformats dates to match the user's preferences. If you want to see dates in day-month-year order, go to your preferences page and change the setting. And move on to doing something constructive. - JasonAQuest (talk) 13:53, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Another echo of the above comment. --Delirium (talk) 16:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to June 1976 protests. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Charles (talk) 22:34, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Little Tony (film). As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. Denisarona (talk) 10:47, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Jeanne Baré, you may be blocked from editing. Denisarona (talk) 10:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kipperfield, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
