Copied from Talk: January 16:

Is there any "best practice" for dates? The attack on Iraq in 1991 started at 3am local time (January 17), 7pm Washington time (January 16). If you consider Operation Desert Storm more as media event, then Jan 16 is correct as the starting date. But I personally would prefer local time for local events, and GMT for global ones. What do you think --zeno 07:08 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)

7pm on Jan.16 in Washington is 0h on Jan.17 by UTC. So, January 17 is preferred, I suppose. -- PFHLai 09:50, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)
BBC says its January 17th (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/861164.stm). -- PFHLai 09:56, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)

Does "Magen David Day" exist?

edit

I never heard of it and anyway most Israeli days are linked to Jewis, not Gregorian, calander, so it's even less likely to be real. DGtal (talk) 23:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Change "twenty-one United States-government-funded researchers" to "21 United States government–funded researchers" Holy (talk) 22:41, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Nope, per WP:MOSNUM, Integers greater than nine expressible in one or two words may be expressed either in numerals or in words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four, 200 or two hundred). Numbers between 21 and 99 are hyphenated (including when part of a larger number): fifty-six or fifty-six thousand but five hundred or five thousand.
