[edit] Australian English v British English

Hey Peterenko/Peterpansyndrome, just regarding the comment you placed into the Australian article that Australian English is "aka British English," firstly, please don't do that, and secondly, it is not correct. Australian English and British English are different. We use some American spelling like, as you pointed out last night, program. I suggest that, if you want to get your facts straight on spelling, numbers and dates, you borrow from your library the News Limited book, Style: A Guide for Journalists. Please do not change any spelling or dates in articles because you are changing them incorrectly and causing unnecessary work for the rest of us who have to clean up after you. Thanks, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 13:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

Please stop changing dates around on articles. You can set the format of dates you wish to see through use of the your preferences. Just hit the preference command on your Wikipedia page. Different parts of the world use different date formats. Americans and some internationally use mm/dd/yy (eg, 04/21/02). Many internationally use dd/mm/yy (eg, 21/04/02 for 21st April 2002). Some prefer yyyy-mm-dd (eg, 2002-04-21). Dates on US topics should use mm/dd/yy. Dates on UK topics use dd/mm/yy. In international articles leave the page as designed by original author.
