Using the Date as the Title of a Page on Wiki has problems. In writing about say '11 September 2001' '11th September 2001' 'September 11th, 2001' etc it is possible for several authors to have created parallel pages all talking about the same topic. Would it not be better to recommend the usage of 2001-09-11 style formats especially so now that ANSI, NIST, W3C and others [LIST] are also recommending this anyway?? |
Au contraire, mon frère. Correcting existing entries is a double service, as it increases the usefulness of Wikipedia twice as much, proportionally, as adding new data. You reorganization of the FAQ is nice, too. --Lee Daniel Crocker
Thanks. I finally decided to heed, at least a little, the admonition to be bold in updating pages. --loh
Thanks for the correction. --dja
No problem; I'm sure I have/will provide the same opportunity for someone (heh). --loh
Yeah, I wish it were used more; I'm easily enough confused as it is. --loh
