Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll/Autoformatting_responses 

Regarding your comments in opposition to date autoformatting, I'd like to point out that one of the core features of any proposed replacement for the current autoformatting was that unregistered ("anon") users see a consistent format within any given article.  That feature was actually implemented in several different patches and demo systems that were created over the past few months of discussion, so it's entirely possible to have autoformatting that doesn't result in a mix of formats.
