[WikiEN-l] dates

Tue Feb 15 18:42:29 UTC 2005

In the Drupal development mailing list there is a discussion about date 
formats. Somebody suggested the ISO YYYY-MM-DD (or YYYY/MM/DD) format and 
most developers seem to like the idea. For example, it was proposed that 
2005/11/27 is much better than 27/11/2005.

Although I personally use dates like DD/Feb/YYYY (i.e. the month being a name 
not a number) on my site, and I believe this format is better, I would like 
to introduce this argumentation (with the French meaning of the word) here.

Please tell me what date format do you consider "official policy" in Wikipedia 
and why? What is the most culturally neutral format?
