(For anyone who might read this)

I looked at the first link, and it was to the specific Ondine (ballet) page, so I don't know what this is referring to. Bryan Krippner (talk) 09:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cricket dates

Hello. Sorry, I missed totally that you'd changed both the infobox and the body text date formats at John Cameron (New Zealand cricketer) when I undid your edit. I apologise about that; I imagine I must only have noticed the change in the infobox for some reason.

The body text should certainly use the 1917–18 format - I tend to prefer to be explicit in the first instance and mention that it's a season as well. The infobox date, however, should probably use the slash. This is the standard way of formatting southern hemisphere seasons in the infobox and there appears to be a fairly long running consensus over this. This is mainly because of the need to do things such as 1917/18–1923/24, which would otherwise be rendered as 1917–18–1923–24, 1917–18 to 1923–24, 1917–18 – 1923–24 and so on - which generally causes more confusion. In cricket literature a mix of methods of writing this sort of date exists, but the slash is reasonably common, and is used by CricketArchive, one of the two major cricket database sources.

I've added a bit to the article just now. I'll head off and see if there's anything very much else we might find on Cameron. Apologies again for not spotting the body text change that you'd made. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:30, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
