Time format edit
Wouldn't the twenty-four hour clock format be less confusing, especially with all the 12s in the table? --Paul_012 (talk) 16:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think the 12-hour format is more intuitive, since that's how most people read a clock. However, if others want the 24-hour format, it's a simple change. Shubinator (talk) 02:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- For me, the confusion it causes to non-Americans (is 12am noon or midnight?) is more trouble than the convenience it gives. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- Bring it up at WT:DYK to see where consensus is. The template was originally proposed with the 12-hour format (by a non-American). Shubinator (talk) 05:50, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion edit
I was thinking that, due to significant number of wikipedians in China, the Philippines and Singapore (see Category:Wikipedians by ethnicity and nationality) - all of which are within UTC+08:00 timezone, compared to Tokyo's UTC+09:00, we ought to replace (or add?) Tokyo timezone listed in the table with either: Singapore, Hong Kong or Manila. Any comments? (I suggested this at Wikipedia talk:Did you know but there was no response.) ќמшמφטтгמtorque 11:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Consensus about columns London and UTC edit
For the record, this edit to bring back the column UTC was done per discussion, which is archived at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 112 § Local Update Times table formatting disagreement. —andrybak (talk) 08:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
