== RE: May 2008 == 

 Where does it specifically state that? I do not see it. American format demands commas marking off the year. When people don't have their own preferences, they must at least see a grammatical format. Consensus was reached a while ago that the entire article would take American style. To answer your question, I am much too busy editing when I am on Wikipedia to make a vanity page. All that I need to lend me "credibility" is my edit count and if others see a redlink an assume negative things, then they're violating guidelines.
