Apparently there is a move under way to change EVERY date in the English Wikipedia to "2 March" format from "March 2" format. How did this slip under the radar without a major discussion? It's a very anti-American thing to do.
That's the first time I've been asked to consider Americans to be an opressed minority :-) (4% of the world population and they expect everyone else to suffer their illogical system?) 2 March 2003 is logical, natural to speech, and (so long as the month name is used) unambiguous. In your terms, "March 2" is anti British, Anti European, Anti-Australasian, Anti-African etc. etc.
This discussion should be held to the proper forum: [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)]].
