Methods 'mm-dd-yyyy' and 'dd-mm-yyyy' inappropriately refer to ISO 8601

Open tbrowder opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

ISO 8601 details YYYY-MM-DD format, but the same link also discusses other Gregorian time formats. To correct the existing description, this PR keeps the same link (where the formats are described), but changes the link description as appropriate for each method's format as shown on that same page,

Where are you seeing this discussion?

The link is to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601, and I went looking, but couldn't find any such discussion.

mm-dd-yyyy and dd-mm-yyyy aren't even mentioned as output formats, much less discussed. All I could find were one or two mentions (not discussions) as input formats, but these two methods are both accessors, not constructors.

The wikipedia article only mentioned them as things to be converted to yyyy-mm-dd, so this doesn't provide any support for the idea that it's not misleading to mention ISO8601 in the context of these two (unlike yyyy-mm-dd).
