*an ''as of'' phrase (''as of August 2007''), which is a signal to readers of the time-dependence of the statement, and to later editors of the need to update the statement (see [[Wikipedia:As of|''As of'']]).

 

Context determines whether the [[12-hour clock|12-]] or [[24-hour clock|24-hour]] clock is used; in both, colons separate hours, minutes and seconds (''1:38:09 pm'' and ''13:38:09'').

*'''12-hour clock times''' end with dotted or undotted lower-case ''a.m.'' or ''p.m.'', or ''am'' or ''pm'', which are spaced (''2:30 p.m.'' or ''2:30 pm'', not ''2:30p.m.'' or ''2:30pm''). ''Noon'' and ''midnight'' are used rather than ''12 pm'' and ''12 am''; whether ''midnight'' refers to the start or the end of a date will need to be specified unless this is clear from the context.

*'''24-hour clock times''' have no a.m., p.m., noon or midnight suffix. Discretion may be used as to whether the hour has a leading zero (''08:15'' or ''8:15''). ''00:00'' refers to midnight at the start of a date, ''12:00'' to noon, and ''24:00'' to midnight at the end of a date.

 

*Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes or articles, or put a comma between month and year.

*[[ISO 8601]] dates (''1976-05-13'') are uncommon in English prose and are generally not used in Wikipedia. However, they may be useful in long lists and tables for conciseness and ease of comparison.

*'''Months''' are expressed as whole words (''February'', not ''2''), except in the ISO 8601 format. Abbreviations such as ''Feb'' are used only where space is extremely limited, such as in tables and infoboxes. Do not insert ''of'' between a month and a year (''April 2000'', not ''April of 2000'').
