Tip of the day...

Dates in Wikipedia articles

Two date formats are commonly used in Wikipedia articles: December 2, 2009 and 2 December 2009. These are referred to as alphanumeric dates. The first is used in articles with a connection to the United States, and the second in articles relating to most Commonwealth countries (although no preference is expressed for Canada). In articles with no particular national affiliation, to prevent needless edit warring, the established date format should not be changed. However any given article should use just one of the two formats consistently. Dates that are all numeric are highly discouraged to avoid confusion, however if used must be in the YYYY-MM-DD format and never in YYYY-DD-MM format.

August 2019

Hello, I'm OxonAlex. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to T— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:28, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at T. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Scorbunny (talk) 18:30, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Pingu, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 04:40, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
