Hi, I noticed that you've been changing the date formats for certain video game articles from mdy to dmy. While in some cases (like [[Symphonic Legends – Music from Nintendo]]), this is appropriate since the concert took place in Germany which primarily uses dmy format. However, I've reverted you on other cases, like [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]] because there is no consensus to use dmy for that article. If you would like to propose a change, I encourage you to open a discussion at [[Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]] to get a wider opinion and build a consensus.

:Well, why should mdy be used in the first place? As of e.g. [[Date format by country]] it's nearly only the USA with a mdy system and e.g. ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D'' (TLoZ:OoT3D resp. OoT3DS) was not only released in the USA, does not come from the USA and is not an USA centric topic (like e.g. US-American history, politics and persons might be). Though, imho it would be okay to use the date formats accourding to the specific regions, e.g. using mdy for US-American release dates and dmy for Europe etc., even if it might look wired at the beginning. Furthermore it was not only a changing of date formats but also an addition of information with sources given. -[[User:Yodonothav|Yodonothav]] ([[User talk:Yodonothav#top|talk]]) 16:56, 17 March 2013 (UTC) |

::I'm really not the person to champion one date format over another. However, the observed consensus for video game articles is to use mdy and has been for a long time. If you would like to propose a change to this overarching style guideline, I recommend you post a new thread at [[WT:VG]] to get a broader opinion on the matter.

Date formats
Hi, I noticed that you've been changing the date formats for certain video game articles from mdy to dmy. While in some cases (like Symphonic Legends – Music from Nintendo), this is appropriate since the concert took place in Germany which primarily uses dmy format. However, I've reverted you on other cases, like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D because there is no consensus to use dmy for that article. If you would like to propose a change, I encourage you to open a discussion at Talk:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D to get a wider opinion and build a consensus.
