==Dates and numbers == ===Numbers === Add style for decimals and large numbers for Non-English speakers, eg 1,200 and 1.5 (not 1.000 and 1,5). ===Currency=== Do we put $5 mark unless non-US, or always mark as US? Link to [[w:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers Wikipedia's]] [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:25, August 10, 2019 (EDT) Update: I looked it up. {| class="wikitable alternate" id="currency" !Style !Note |- |A$1,000 US$1,000 NZ$1,000 CA$1,000 |Recommended style: 1-2 letter code before symbol. The value $1,000 assumed to be US dollars |- |USD1,000 AUS$5 EUR5,000 |Also acceptable: 3 letter currency code without symbol |- |$1M or $1m, $1bn |Millions and billions |- |€5,000.25 HK$1,300.10 |Commas for thousands, dot for decimals |- |<source lang="text">€ £ ¥</source> |Source code way to create: € £ ¥ Visual editor toolbar can also be used |} Both Chicago and APA citation style suggest converting to US dollars, but I think it best to go with local currency with approx USD next to it. E.g. A$3m (US$1m). Euros are EUR5,000 (since we are using comma not dot, this is the UK way to write it), or β¬1,000.50, or 1 million euro - <code>€</code> in source editor will create this although it might be in the advanced options in visual editor too. For UK, Β£2,400 etc or GBP2,000. [[User:Pyrrhus]] [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 15:08, August 16, 2019 (EDT) :Thanks for looking these things up! It certainly makes sense to include these. (in a concise way of course so as not to bore the reader!) :[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 21:03, September 9, 2019 (EDT) :::Has this issue been resolved? Do we need to add anything to the page? :::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 13:38, October 24, 2019 (EDT)
