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)[reply]
