Template:Dates3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please stop changing dates around on articles. You can set the format of dates you wish to see through the use of your preferences; just hit the preference command on your Wikipedia page. Different parts of the world use different date formats. Americans and some internationally use mm/dd/yy (eg, 04/21/02). Many internationally use dd/mm/yy (eg, 21/04/02 for 21st April 2002). Some prefer yyyy-mm-dd (eg, 2002-04-21). Dates on US topics should use mm/dd/yy. Dates on UK topics use dd/mm/yy. In international articles leave the page as designed by the original author.

Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
