Dear fellow contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether or not dates are autoformatted. MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this.
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. I'm seeking feedback about this proposal to remove it from the main text (using a script) in about a week's time on a trial basis. The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just the huge number of visitors; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links. BTW, anyone has the right to object, and I have no intention of arguing with people's feelings on the issue. Tony (talk) 12:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello editors. As we all know, the standards of Featured Articles change over time, and this is a periodic review based on the suggestion that I conduct periodic reviews of historical articles inside areas where I have at least a basic comprehension of the primary historical issues. This article was selected as the first Central and Eastern European historical article in the list at Wikipedia:Featured_articles. There are a number of sourcing problems with this article which could be readily addressed.
Featured Article Reviewers have recently changed their policy, requiring the raising of issues on an article's talk page, to assist article editors to rectify problems in a collegial atmosphere. (Editors should not be overly concerned, FAR's purpose is to improve articles and retain them as featured articles).
The key sourcing issue is reliance on articles from Encyclopedia Lituanica. EL is a TERTIARY source, which presents immediate problems. In particular, encyclopedia entries status as High Quality reliable sources for wikipedia purposes is judged on three merits:
Editors could help with this issue by discussing the standard of EL, and by changing the sourcing on the article to indicate individual article authors, and the page span (separate to the page referenced) in the bibliography and notes. For example:
Another sourcing issue is the lack of place of publication for some works. This assists in reliability checking works. For example:
Web sources such as:
I'm not inclined to engage in detailed reliability checking with the fullness of citations in the current status (with the exception of EL which is almost ready for reliability checking).
There are no POV issues to my mind. The only possibility of non-coverage might be anti-Act positions by Lithuanian pro-revolutionary workers or non-ethnic Lithuanians in the period. Does someone with the specific knowledge know if this occurred and/or was significant?
Lets improve this already great article. Fifelfoo ( talk) 03:57, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I restored mdy date format, which was consistently used everywhere in the original 2007 text up to March 2, 2018, when it was arbitrarily changed to dmy format. The mdy format also matches the date format in native Lithuanian documents (eg. vasario 16 d. 1918 m -> February 16, 1918); I would guess that's why the original text adopted the MDY format in the first place. ( user:M.K: is my guess correct?)
If someone insists that changing the original MDY format to DMY was correct, please state serious reasons. AFAIK the AE/BE style rule dictates sticking to the style of the original text, unless the subject is of British or American tradition.
I also also fixed typos in dates noticed during this edit. Lokys dar Vienas ( talk) 05:29, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
