DMY dates and non-US English[edit]

Just because this article inconsistently uses date formats says nothing about the variety of English spelling it should use.

Although this article was started on 15 May 2004‎, it was not until 2 November 2016 that the first edit that introduced a varietal English spelling in the non-stub version of this article occurred. Then the non-US English flavour of Centre (rather than Center as in US English) was used.

Since this article is not on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation,
(the Commonwealth military occupation after they booted out the Italians was very ephemeral)
we should now consistently use the variety found in the first post-stub revision that introduced an identifiable variety.

Consequently, I shall now place the appropriate Varieties of English template on this page. BushelCandle (talk) 06:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
