Time format[edit]

Wouldn't the twenty-four hour clock format be less confusing, especially with all the 12s in the table? --Paul_012 ^(talk) 16:37, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the 12-hour format is more intuitive, since that's how most people read a clock. However, if others want the 24-hour format, it's a simple change. Shubinator (talk) 02:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For me, the confusion it causes to non-Americans (is 12am noon or midnight?) is more trouble than the convenience it gives. --Paul_012 ^(talk) 04:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bring it up at WT:DYK to see where consensus is. The template was originally proposed with the 12-hour format (by a non-American). Shubinator (talk) 05:50, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion[edit]

I was thinking that, due to significant number of wikipedians in China, the Philippines and Singapore (see Category:Wikipedians by ethnicity and nationality) - all of which are within UTC+08:00 timezone, compared to Tokyo's UTC+09:00, we ought to replace (or add?) Tokyo timezone listed in the table with either: Singapore, Hong Kong or Manila. Any comments? (I suggested this at Wikipedia talk:Did you know but there was no response.) ќמшמφטтгמ^torque 11:19, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replied at WT:DYK. Shubinator (talk) 18:22, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus about columns London and UTC[edit]

For the record, this edit to bring back the column UTC was done per discussion, which is archived at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 112 § Local Update Times table formatting disagreement. —⁠andrybak (talk) 08:24, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
