Actually, I don't think the MOS says that any supported date format is
incorrect - at least, it did not when I last read that section. Thus,
entering dates in any supported format is not 'against consensus'.
The entire point of user date preferences and the way they were
implemented was exactly because no consensus on these things could be
reached.
So if I add a sentence to the [[George W Bush]] article describing today's
events and I begin "On [[23 May]] [[2007]]..." then that's not incorrect?
After all, International Dating is a supported format.
