Date changes

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know why I undid your changes to the date. While it is accurate that it isn't vandalism, it does violate this rule. If two MOS styles are equally valid, then we usually retain the MOS style that the article started with. In this case, that's the MM/DD/YYYY style. Thanks, and sorry if I seemed rude.

@Rockstone35: Then the edit message should have indicated the particular part of the MOS that this goes against - and indicated why "style of arguments inside templates" is a style to which WP:MOS applies, given that the style of arguments doesn't change the appearance of the page to the reader, it only changes the way the source code of the article appears when editing.
