there is a place for solar mean time on List of tz database time zones table

There is a site called (http://www.timeanddate.com/) where you can get solar mean time for the tz database table. I thought it will be a great addition to the table so people can see or calculate time difference before standard time existed.

Example of how the table looks like after the figures are inserted.

Well, one problem I see (and it's a detail, I know) is that then the note about Alaska (most areas) becomes problematic. Most of Alaska is one time zone (the Aleutians are another). That zone is based on the solar mean time at a line of longitude way in the eastern part (the panhandle bordering Canada). Every degree west you go, the solar mean time is 4 minutes less. A degree of longitude is about 39 miles at the equator--roughly half that in Alaska. Uporządnicki (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Recent timezone changes

Please can someone review the recent timezone changes by 177.71.45.141 and roll back if appropriate? I can't find any sources for the ending of DST etc. in these places. Certes (talk) 13:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Active Peer Review notification

There is an ongoing peer review for the article February 8. I've been working on the article for a bit now and was hoping for additional input before I nominate it for Featured List status. Please feel free to directly edit the article or post comments/suggestions regarding it on the peer review talk page. Thanks! Best, Dan the Animator 23:50, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
