Realising I don't need to date my entries

Käyttäjä berrybine kirjotti tämän 2. Julya 2020 kielellä English

There’s a timestamp on them, but I put 01/07/2020 on my last entry. Also, I don’t see any rules on diaries. Should they just be anything I want or do they have to be OSM-related in some way?

Hi berrybine

Two things:

  1. Different countries order their dates differently; therefore “01/07/2020” could be interpreted as “1 July 2020” or “7 January 2020”. It is perhaps better to get into the habit of using the Japanese order of “2020-07-01” (yyyy-mm-dd), which is less open to misinterpretation & also provides a natural ordering.
  2. With these diaries folks expect it to be a Diary entry that is OSM-related. Do that until folks get used to you, and then occasionally you can go off-topic & still keep your readers. Just never, ever spam.

In general, these diary entries should relate, however tangentially, to OSM.
