So, at
[[[Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)]], about 30 people have been engaged in a discussion about changing the [[Month Day]] standard format.
At some point someone set up a voting scheme, listing some options, and people tagged their preference. In a shocking development, most of the people who voted for making [[Day Month]] Wikipedia policy are British.
Without getting (again) into the how very bad voting is for making a decision, I'll simply say that what is needed is to
Construct a consensus document on the merits and problems of each proposal.
Not to vote.
A 30-person vote != democratic decision.
And we should be looking for the best decision for Wikipedia, not necessarily the most popular.
I'll leave discussion of the specific merits and problems for the webpages, though Zoe has well elucidated a major issue with the subject of this thread.
