Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, why is this Talk page (for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country) saying that a "test edit" from this IP (61.8.13.206) was reverted by Materialscientist on 6 March 2014, when the page history shows that the reverted "test edit" was actually from IP 72.28.173.57? Indeed, there are no edits at all shown in the page history for 2014 from IP 61.8.13.206.

Secondly, there is a problem with the country "Listing" table, in that the use of the format "May 1, 2018" seems to be taken as evidence of use of the MDY format. The example is given of the New Straits Times (of Malaysia) converting to MDY format, yet when I visited their web site, what I saw was the format "May 1, 2018" instead. These are not the same thing. For another example, here in Australia, it is also common to use the format "May 1, 2018", but our numerical date format is most certainly DMY, not MDY. Someone familiar with the countries in question needs to revise this table to eliminate these incorrect attributions. Additionally, it should be made clear for those seeking to edit this table in the future, that this table is specifically for numerical date formats, to avoid this ambiguity.
