CZ Talk:Managing Editor/2011/008 - Time and date at Citizendium

There is an international standard for how dates and times should be written. Today is 2011-05-14, for example. This removes the ambiguity where Americans might write 05/14/2011 and Europeans 14/05/2011. It also sorts correctly on a computer without any special rules, and it is the way Chinese write dates. The standard uses 24-hour time, not AM/PM.

There is extensive discussion on date & time formats at. Large parts of it are irrelevant to us, but other parts may not be. Sandy Harris 20:33, 13 May 2011 (CDT)
