I do not think that we should have a UK-Wikipedia and a US/World-
Wikipedia. Personally, I would love to have the following compromise:

        * US-style spelling in all articles
        * British style dates in all articles

But the worst solution is one where every article looks different. That 
conveys an unprofessional image: That we only can maintain consistency on 
a single page, but not throughout our encyclopedia.

I would like to ask you to vote on the above page, preferably for one of 
the two options "Month Day" or "Day Month" (I'm trying to use my evil 
manipulative powers here), so that we can get a clear result, change (or 
not change) all our articles accordingly, and move on to more important 
things.

Regards,

Erik

Not a generous offer, Erik - why not British spelling, US dates? I get fed up with adding "in the [[US]]" to articles where it it is simply assumed that there is only one country that matters. The day I have to use US spelling is the day I stop contributing.
