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.

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. -Yodonothav (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. In the meantime, I suggest that you self-revert to the established mdy conventions until a new consensus is in place. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Hello, would you mind writing out your actual changes in your edit summaries rather than URLs to external websites? URLs don't provide any information about the edit other than "this site justifies this change." Thanks! --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:40, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Please stop changing the title at Fire Emblem Awakening. Please see the talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fire_Emblem_Awakening#Requested_move) where there is currently both consensus and evidence against that titling. You're free to start up further discussion if you disagree, but as of right now, that edit is not warranted. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 12:14, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

1. Many of the oppose comments on that talk page are invalid or outdated.

• Nintendo clearly writes it with ":", see: 1, 2 (and same in other European languages like German, Spanish, Italian, French). As far as I saw, on those Nintendo pages it's only with ":" and not with both variants as NOA does.
• "Bill Trinen, Nintendo's head of localization and marketing" - accourding to wikipedia, it looks like he is just some NOA (Nintendo of America) guy, so most likely just NOA's head of localization and marketing and not Nintendo's head of localization and marketing. Furthermore, why should one follow his POV as it is against WP:NPOV?
  

2. Even though the Western title might be controversial and reverting that might be justified, reverting the rest isn't (as sources where given).
3. On the talk page was just a moving discussion. Thus the article may stay at Fire Emblem Awakening, but as of WP:NPOV and 1. both Variants (FEA and FE:A) should be mentioned.
