Talk:John Holt (singer)

message: Wish I knew the years and more info about "Man Next Door."  Written by Holt, but dunno if it was a Paragons song or solo for him.  Redone by many including Dr Alimantado (Winston Thompson) as "Poison Flour," the UK chick punk band the Slits, and more recently by Horace Andy with Massive Attack. 82.95.194.147 (talk) 11:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: On a related note, I have looked for guidance on occasions such as this whether we should go with the date as it was in the country where a person died or the date as it was in their place of residence/country of nationality or the date in their place of birth (for consistency), but didn't find anything. If, for example, an American citizen travelled to Japan and died at 3 in the morning Japanese time, would we go with the date in Japan or the day before, which it would still have been back in the US? Whatever the facts of Holt's death the date was different in Jamaica and the UK at that time. --Michig (talk) 20:10, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite the role of some countries as guardians of the world, their applicable time zone is only applicable in their countries. If you die at 3am on 19 October in London then you died on 19 October, regardless of your citizenship.--Egghead06 (talk) 06:46, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a documented guideline anywhere on this? I'm not asking for opinions and debate here - this has surely come up before. --Michig (talk) 07:02, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Very helpful. You're excelling yourself here. --Michig (talk) 07:15, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Time zones may be the only applicable guideline here. --Michig (talk) 07:19, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: How could it be anything else? If an event happened in London to an American citizen, how would we know which time zone in American was applicable? The date is always the date in the country where the event happened.--Egghead06 (talk) 07:45, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The fact the we have a guideline covering this issue suggests to me that the question was worth asking. Thanks for your help. --Michig (talk) 17:34, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
