Date formatting
Hello. This message is to kindly inform you that BetaWiki interchangeably uses the universal day–month–year and ISO 8601 date/time formats, and your previous contributions you have made towards the pages in question utilized the incompatible month-day-year format, which has been known to cause confusion. While we appreciate contributions from editors around the world, your edits have regrettably been reverted. We suggest that you read up on our guidelines for date and time - additionally, here is an example article making use of both specifications.

Huh? Bruh. I use (Like most people in the United States and most Wikipedians) the month-day-year and XX:XX AM/PM date/time formats. That BetaWiki standard feels "too British" to me. additionally, here is an example article making use of both specifications.
 * We are not the English Wikipedia, which doesn't have a set guideline on which date/time variation is used. - pivotman319 (📫) 13:13, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

*shocked*
I was so surprised after seeing that. '''How can a site have date/time guidelines? I'M SO SHOCKED!'''
 * ...because people can easily get confused if they read a certain date format in short form while they're mainly familiarized with another Gregorian calendar date format? Here's an example: the short form for 7 November 2022 (which is 7/11/2022 under DD/MM/YYYY) can be easily confused with 11 July 2022 were it read in the MM/DD/YYYY form. - pivotman319 (📫) 19:22, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

OK, but,
when I had read this text, so.. yeah. I know it can be confusing at some point, but why should someone be using 2 or more date/time formats at the same time!?!?
 * The ISO 8601 format is mainly used for infoboxes or tables. See the Windows 10 and Windows 8 build 8888 (win8_gdr_soc_intel) articles for examples on interchangeable use of date and time formats. - pivotman319 (📫) 19:45, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

I already start understanding...
OK, but that another format still is mainly used by me. I already after that start listening.

Hi, this article does not meet BetaWiki’s style guide. I recommend you move it to draft namespace, thank you! —Sporb (talk) 12:28, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Great! A draft article has already been created. —


 * Then you should improve it! —Sporb (talk) 12:51, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

OK! Thanks for your advice! Written: Janekusz123 (Still mentioned as Franek Sitek)

What happened? To the BSoD article?
I've just changed he "till" to "until" in the article I mean, to be easier to understand. Next day, I refresh the page, and the change has been reverted! Why?! Thank you! Janekusz123 (talk) 16:29, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * The article is fine as-is. NaraInsider1694 (talk) 23:06, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Well, OK. Janekusz123 (talk) 15:23, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Year 2000 "HUH!?!?!??!?!"
Well, well, well. I know that in this article they described the year 2000 problem, but I went to [] and it didn't say there 117 (Continued after 99) but 17 (Resetted back to 00 in the year 2000). Please fix that! Thank you! Janekusz123 (talk) 17:30, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * What the hell are you on about? -- 17:50, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

OK. This might be the case for Windows 2.0, but I don't know if it's on Windows 1.0... Thank you! Janekusz123 (talk) 17:55, 7 November 2022 (UTC) Yes it showed 100. Thanks! Janekusz123 (talk) 18:04, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Erm...
Try not to put this stuff in articles (see this) Thanks :) --Sporb (talk) 03:20, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Are you serious!?!?! It wasn't unchanged. The Start button was removed in Windows 8 and some minor changes were made. The Start button has been brought back in a different form in Windows 8.1 with a few improvements to the taskbar. Thank you :) Janekusz123 (talk) 16:33, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Houston, we have a... Language correction?
After returning here, I've noticed something. BetaWiki looks... British. Take this one for example:

Windows 8 is an operating system developed by Microsoft. It is the ninth major release in the Windows NT operating system line, replacing Windows 7 and later being replaced by Windows 8.1. It reached RTM on 1 August 2012 and was released to general availability on 26 October 2012. Windows 8 was one of the most short-lived releases, with support ending on 12 January 2016 as extended support was in favor of its successor. Even though this is the case, it still runs on 0.52% of desktop and laptop computers as of February 2023.

Doesn't it look British to you? If no, do the following steps: 1. Copy the Windows 8 text; 2. Open the link below: https://www.scribbr.com/grammar-checker/ 3. Set the setting to American English; 4. Paste your text; 5. Click on "Fix All Errors". Thanks :)
