Standardise all dates
A prior RfC and one running currently as of this writing propose using different date formats (MDY, DMY and YMD) depending on the principal country of an article. I believe this may cause confusion down the line, mainly in regard to relying on context to know when a nn/nn/nn format date refers to, and when building articles, also having to seek out the system a country uses in order to apply dates correctly. I don't believe it's important which date format is picked for all articles to use, but that editors do not need to think about which formats to use and that edge cases involving nn/nn/nn format dates do not confuse readers.
