User:Ezhiki would like this article (about a Russian city) to use the US format for dates. I am well aware of the WP:DATERET guideline, where it reads: "If an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the whole article should conform to it, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic or consensus on article talk" (italics are mine). I think a very strong case can be made that this article has, by definition, "strong national ties" for using the non-US format (i.e., the one used by just about every other country on the planet). Namely, the logical day-month-year series/sequence (small-to-large). E.g., 5 February 2013. -- Thorwald ( talk) 23:33, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
