publication dates in footnotes

[edit]

@Mackensen: Why are we using British/Commonwealth style DMY dates for newspaper article publication dates in the footnotes of this article? Per MOS, I think we should be consistently using American style MDY dates throughout an article about an American subject written in American English.
