Needs examples
[edit]This article would benefit from some examples. Some people know what DD-MM-YY represents, and other people don't. A few examples would make it clear. For example: "DD-MM-YY (Example: 31-Jan-14)". I would actually call that DD-MMM-YY, using the Excel codes. To an unfamiliar user "DD MMMMM YYYY" and "MMMM DD, YYYY" might suggest "31 Janu 2014" or "Janu 31, 2014" rather than "31 January 2014", etc. I don't mean to quibble about what are the right abbreviations to use (MM vs. MMM vs. MMMM).
It really doesn't matter much, as long the meaning is clear to the non-technical user. And using examples is a very simple way to make it clear. Another way would be to get rid of the codes entirely and say "In India, dates in the form 31-Jan-14 are the most familiar.... the 31 January 2014 usage is more prevalant....", etc. Omc (talk) 15:23, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
Is this page needed?
[edit]I don't see anything in this page that differs significantly from international norms. What is its point? Groogle (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
MMMM format
[edit]What is MMMM format? It makes no sense. Oxenfording (talk) 19:41, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
