| * Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking country should generally use the date format most commonly used in that nation. For the United States this is (for example) {{nobr|{{xt|July 4, 1976}}}}; for most other English-speaking countries it is {{nobr|{{xt|4 July 1976}}}}
| |
| * Articles related to Canada may use either format with (as always) consistency within each article. {{see below|Retaining existing format}}
| |
| * In some topic areas the customary format differs from the usual national one: for example, articles on the modern U.S. military, including U.S. military biographical articles, use day-before-month, in accordance with U.S. military usage.
