date in reference
[edit]MOS:DATEFORMAT states that yyyy-mm-dd is an approved format for references and lists, etc. WP:CITEVAR says to leave formats as they were originally done, and to then keep using the same format throughout. Very simple, totally cut-and-dry. Mr.choppers | ✎ 19:21, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- MOS:BADDATEFORMAT states differently and is very simple, totally cut-and-dry. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 19:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: No, yyyy-mm-dd is not listed as a bad date, see the left-hand column. I think you are looking at yyyy/mm/dd, which is indeed not accepted. Also, you have misunderstood BRD. You were bold, I reverted, and then you should have started a discussion. Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:06, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- I've misunderstood nothing. You were bold in your edit, it was reverted and I asked you start a conversation. You did the latter. Eventually. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 20:07, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, your altering the date was the initial, bold act. Then I reversed it. Then you re-reverted. Also, have you re-read BADDATEFORMAT yet? Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:09, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: Tell you what, I'll just post the relevant section of the baddateformat table here:

- "Do not use dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy or yyyy-dd-mm formats, as they are ambiguous for some dates" - Seems clear to me. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 20:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: yyyy-dd-mm ≠ yyyy-mm-dd. Would also like you to acknowledge how BRD works. Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- I know how it works, thanks. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 20:46, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: You've just made several statements that prove you do not. Also, could you go ahead and restore the date now? Pretty please? Mr.choppers | ✎ 20:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, as it would be wrong, per MOS:BADDATEFORMAT. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 20:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts: yyyy-dd-mm ≠ yyyy-mm-dd. Please read what I write - I take the time to read and to take in your contributions, and also to recheck the policies that I am linking to. I admit that I myself had to do a double take, but can you not see the difference between yyyy-dd-mm and yyyy-mm-dd? Mr.choppers | ✎ 21:01, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
- Well I'm glad you like to introduce mistakes into articles with your pettifoggery. Well done. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:47, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- An apology would have been nicer. I was right and you were wrong, and I had to spell it out several times before you gave it up. Not how we are supposed to operate. And what's the mistake I introduced, exactly? Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:30, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
