To address both viewpoints, we could add a new sentence to the manual of style, such as {{tq|For articles about non-English-speaking country, the date format used should generally match the one most commonly found in English-language sources from that country.}} For example, in the case of Japan, the mdy format is used because English-language sources from Japan such as [https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/backstories/ NHK], [https://www.japantimes.co.jp/ Japan Times], [https://mainichi.jp/english/ Mainichi], [https://www.asahi.com/ajw/ Asahi Shimbun]and [https://english.kyodonews.net/ Kyodo News] all use it.. What do you think about this suggestion? [[User:Ckfasdf|Ckfasdf]] ([[User talk:Ckfasdf|talk]]) 03:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC) |

::No, no, no. First of all, a provision addressing articles "about a non-English-speaking country" is useless, because it would only apply to the articles [[Japan]] and [[Russia]] and [[Rwanda]] and so on. Second, changing "ties to an English-speaking country" to just plain "ties to a country" is an absolutely terrible idea, as I will describe below.

:Beware that Japan does <u>not</u> have a default English language format. They use whichever format they have business partners with or whichever format the individual person learnt from his/her teachers. If they deal more with Brits/Aussies then they use DMY. If they deal more with yanks then they use MDY. The sources you listed are all closely tied to finances and the US leads the world's economy (rightly or wrongly), so therefore they follow MDY. Plenty of other sources from other industries in Japan use DMY too. |
