[edit] Timezone in Quickbar

I noticed on Germany that the timezone is given as UTF +1. I admit I don't like it, since the timezone does have name (CET/CEST) and since it doen't indicate that Germany is a DST country.

Will everybody remember to update these to UTC +2 in DST?

I'd like to replace this with "CET/CEST (UTC +1/+2)". Or just UTC +1/+2.

Or we run a script that changes all the timezone data? Yes, DST is an ugly mess... but we have to cope with it anyway. --Jae 13:58, 20 Jan 2005 (EST)

"CET/CEST" sounds good to me. --Evan 14:02, 20 Jan 2005 (EST)

[edit] Move stuff from Manual of Style here?

The content of this article seems, to be put it bluntly, rather useless. I was expecting a Manual of Style exposition on 12-hr (AM/PM) vs 24-hr time and how to write dates; should that be moved here instead? Jpatokal 01:31, 14 November 2006 (EST)

It's gibberish to me. Redirect to Wikitravel:Time and date formats? -- Colin 01:57, 14 November 2006 (EST)

I've redirected this absolutely ancient page. --Evan 02:07, 14 November 2006 (EST)
