Hi! I've noticed you make a lot of dated entries. I think the dates are somewhat vague in international context (ie. is 1-2-3 day-month-year or month-day-year) so perhaps it would be better to use e.g. 1-February-3 instead? And if I was the captain of this planet, the date would start with the most significant figure first, ie. year-month-day. :) Thanks for working for (software) freedom!

On international date notation

- Hello! Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what you mean. I do use the year-month-date format: https://www.fsf.org/events/20111108-fs-stockholm, for instance, means RMS is giving a speech on free software in Stockholm on 2011-11-08.
- Mviinama's probably talking about wiki page titles like this:
- Event:Richard Stallman/Richard Stallman (RMS) Speeches/10-8-2011 -Event 1
- Could be August or October.
