Welcome to my userpage. This page isn't really all that interesting (but it's at least less embarassing than the last edit), nor does it have much of a point since I haven't done much serious editing on here in a long, long while, but you can browse here if you're so inclined. (to find a giant page full of userboxes, go here)
Two date formats are commonly used in Wikipedia articles: December 2, 2009 and 2 December 2009. These are referred to as alphanumeric dates. The first is used in articles with a connection to the United States, and the second in articles relating to most Commonwealth countries (although no preference is expressed for Canada). In articles with no particular national affiliation, to prevent needless edit warring, the established date format should not be changed. However any given article should use just one of the two formats consistently. Dates that are all numeric are highly discouraged to avoid confusion, however if used must be in the YYYY-MM-DD format and never in YYYY-DD-MM format.
