Talk:Time zone

Template:WP1.0

Is it one word or two words?

Is it time zone or timezone? There are 101 instances of 2 words and 17 instances of one word in the article as I write this (7/19/18), lets get this consistent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:10D:C090:200:0:0:6:85AC (talk) 19:03, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Crimea is a part of Ukraine

But on the standard world time zones map Crimea is separated with border from the other territory of Ukraine. Please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.63.38.5 (talk) 00:51, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. Crimea is not internationally recognized as a part of Russia and should not be represented as such. - ILBobby (talk) 01:35, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

It is still displayed as a part of Russia on the timezone maps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.98.54.69 (talk) 15:06, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Crimea is a part of Ukraine since 1954. It is in the same time zone as all territory of Ukraine (UTC+2). Change the map, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.209.84.194 (talk • contribs) 22:16, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

Everything but the actual time zones

This article has everything but the kitchen sink. There's an intense focus on UTC, which is great for those outside the USA. I'm all for internationalization.

But we need the actual time zones used in major countries, perhaps starting with:

• Eastern Time Zone
• Central Time Zone
• Mountain Time Zone
• Pacific Time Zone

I daresay a huge percentage of those who say "time zone" in English are thinking of one of these, especially if they are using American English. So a section on time zones by continent would be useful. We can keep our exhaustive list of UTC offsets, which includes the most obscure places imaginable. But let's also serve the typical reader, okay? --Uncle Ed (talk) 16:12, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

Then go to Time in the United States. Surprisingly, the United States takes no precedence over the rest of the world. Prinsgezinde (talk) 13:46, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Merger proposal

Formal request has been received to merge the article List of UTC time offsets into Time zone#List of UTC offsets; dated: May 2018. Proposer's Rationale: Both articles have the exact same thing. Discuss here. Richard3120 (talk) 18:13, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

• Support The table in this article could be expanded, but there's no reason to have a separate article just so each country/place can be listed as a bullet point with flag icon. Redundant, especially since there are also articles both for each offset and each locally-named time zone. Reywas92^Talk 20:19, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose There is some duplication but the stand-alone article is more detailed and is fully sourced, and reflects the level of detail on this topic at the various sources. If it was moved to the Time zone page it would add a large amount of data to that article. If any changes are made I would say it is better to keep the stand-alone list and have a link to it from main article. The information should be directly sourced for readers. I would be Ok with the flags being removed from the list though. Eldumpo (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2018 (UTC) @UnaitoGV:
• Support. This list is almost the same to Time zone#List of UTC offsets so merge them and expand some contents in the new merged list seems better — phenolla 🖋 ^{talk · contribs} 09:15, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose. List of UTC time offsets is too long to be merged into Time zone. --Neo-Jay (talk) 13:07, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose The info in List of UTC time offsets is much more comprehensive than Time zone#List of UTC offsets and would overpower this article if merged. I recommend the suggestion of Eldumpo, that List of UTC time offsets be designated the main article with a link to it from this article. — Joe Kress (talk) 20:54, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose The List of UTC time offsets is bigger enough for be an entire article, I propose no redundancy and move from Time zone#List of UTC offsets the table with upper and lower text into and add a simple link to it (afterwards fix List of UTC time offsets).Jimmy Olano (talk) 22:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
• Comment. This request seems to have been "closed" as "Not done" in March 2019, according to Wikipedia:Proposed mergers#ARCHIVES (open the "2019 Archives" and then "Requests answered in March 2019") — although I'm not sure how "official" that decision should be taken as. In any case, this discussion does not seem to be headed towards a consensus to merge as proposed. Richard3120, would you like to concede and remove the merger tags you added to the two articles back in May 2018? If so, then I may want to propose merging both List of UTC time offsets and Time zone#List of UTC offsets into UTC offset, since this last article [UTC offset] is not only arguably a more relevant target, but is currently quite short, unlike Time zone (sans "List of UTC offsets" section). Opinions? - dcljr (talk) 05:03, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. One page is about a list of UTC time offsets the other about time zone. TerraCyprus (talk) 20:00, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
