@Dl2000 and Joseph2302: While this is not a hugely important issue, I am wondering why British English and DMY templates are being used for a subject that spent the majority of her life (and career) in the United States. I think that we should stick to American English and MDY formats. Thsmi002 (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
I think in this case, per MOS:TIES, we should use American English and MDY because she spent the majority of her life and career in the United States. She left Belgium around the age of 7. She moved to Israel around 2006 but before that, she was living in Denver. Thsmi002 (talk) 03:05, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Just to fully close the loop on this, my initial (admittedly superficial) scan of the article seemed to suggest multiple national ties were in play, and what was set up at article creation. However, will accept article creator's @Joseph2302: view as consensus on this. Dl2000 (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Evidently, ¡this man is King of the MultiVerse! If something does not please him, ¡he can just order other people around to suit him! Evidently, ¡he would never ask to change seats! Surely, ¡he would never have to move! If he would be a regular human being instead of a god, I would suggest that he with stay where he is, talk someone into switching with him, or get off the plane. ¡I am so happy that the staff on the plane recognized this monarch and did the right thing by ordering around a subhuman woman instead of telling this emperor whither to shove it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:C002:2830:146F:1D23:87BC:B34C (talk) 01:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
