James Carter and Wikipedia Style   Hello  First I must thank you for creating the article on James Carter  I added him to the list of requested musicians several days ago so I am very appreciative that you took the time to create an article  My question regards an element of wikipedia style  You recently edited the Born January  into b January   I am a new user though I have contributed anonymously for a couple of months so I am not completely familiar with the minute details of Wikipedia style  Is this the correct way to write out the birthdate  Should I always abbreviate the Born  I welcome any advice you can offer as an admin
