message: Please leave the standard ISO format and do not force in the ugly US format. -- Cat Chi? 20:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The "ugly", to use your word, format is the standard for linking to dates in the text of an article. The numbers-only (ISO, I suppose) format is less appealing to the eye. Please do not change it again. Nique talk 21:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Weather it "appeals to your eye" is not an acceptable reason to revert it. ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. -- Cat Chi? 21:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not simply MY eye that I'm concerned about. It's the eye of the general reader. The format "Month day, year" is not incorrect for in-line dates. Please cease this foolish edit war. Nique talk 21:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

text: As an addition, please see MOS:NUM#Dates containing a month and a day (Month name and day number is standard), as well as MOS:NUM#ISO date formats. Most notably for the latter: Accordingly, they should generally not be used in normal prose. (with regards to ISO date formats). Nique talk 21:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Entire planet but the United States uses this format. To prevent similar "foolish" revert wars, the ISO format is used. -- Cat Chi? 21:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please see the guidelines I linked to. The "entire planet" may use it, but Wikipedia uses the Month day, such as February 23, format as the standard. Please stop. Nique talk 21:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Just as a slight aside, if you click on the links, they lead to February 23 and April 6 anyway, not 23 February and 6 April. I will not violate WP:3RR, however I would like to request (politely) that you stop being so difficult and simply leave the dates in the American format. It is also more appropriate since the series was licensed in the US before they were licensed in Europe. Nique talk 21:47, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It was licensed in Japan prior to the US. Usage of US dates is entirely incorrect. On Wikipedia we only use "American" (US) dates when the topic is specifically related to the US such as on articles about US cities and etc. This is not a US-specific topic -- Cat Chi? 21:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

text: It was created in Japan, not just licensed, and that doesn't change that the US format is more appropriate than the European format because it was licensed in the US before being licensed in Europe, nor that the dates link to the Month Day format anyway. Regardless, it was just a polite request, you don't need to appear so angry about it. It's just Wikipedia, after all, and I'm just trying to make things more simplified for the good of the article.
