Candy Mountain editing question regarding date formats

I noted you changed the date format in numerous references. Doesn't the global "Use xxx dates" control date format for entire article regardless of the explicit format in the citations, thus rendering your changes redundant? Just asking.Fb2002 (talk) 19:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

• I don't think so. Those are instructions to editors and as far as I know do nothing to the display. See Template:Use dmy dates. Abductive (reasoning) 19:05, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

  Citation templates automagically format dates according to {{use xxx dates}}. See Template:Use_dmy_dates/doc#Auto-formatting_citation_template_dates 76.14.122.5 (talk) 17:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Calamophyton

Hi there Abductive.

I just wanted to confirm that you have accepted my partial reversion of your edit at the Calamophyton page. Normally I wouldn't bother, but because the article is headed to the main page in a day or two via the DYK project, it's important that any content disputes be resolved before it gets there.

Also, I should apologize for my overreaction to your edits - that was caused by anxiety over the pending DYK appearance.

With regard to the overquote tag, I still do not believe that is justified but haven't decided how to handle that yet - the options are to paraphrase Cr. Berry's quote, or ask for further opinions at WT:DYK. As an alternative, you are more than welcome to paraphrase Dr. Berry's comments yourself if you see fit. Thanks, Gatoclass (talk) 14:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.
