The Article of the Day should be changed at midnight
Why is the Article of the Day changed at around 4:00PM? Shouldn't it be changed at midnight? I sometimes click out of the internet for a while at around 3:00PM, and at 4:00PM, it is changed.
- Hi!! The article is changed at midnight according to UTC time, which is the official Misplaced Pages time. Sfrrrose (talk) 21:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Phh... see the section on "Blatant UK bias" above; why don't they just make HRH the Queen our ceremonial figurehead?! Actually, I initially assumed Jimbo was English because of that. Of course, how many people out of the American South are named "Jimbo"? --Bobak 22:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- This is the "Englsih encyclopeadia" i dont see it anywhere saying the "American.." hehe. Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 08:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- I thought Jimbo came from Wales, so we use Wales time in Misplaced Pages. No ? (Hahaha.) -- PFHLai 23:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

- Don't be silly. If we were on Cardiff Mean Time we would be using UTC - 12mins 44secs, not UTC. :-P -- AJR | Talk 02:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
actually UTC time is not UP time because we add an hour onto our time during the summer, so the featured article changes at 1pm uk time during the summer. i dont really want BUSH as our head of wikipedia.--Greg.loutsenko 12:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- That would be the joke going WAY over your head. —Cuiviénen 14:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me, but the discussion page isn't a chatroom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.121.73.22 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC).
- What the heck is UTC time? I read Misplaced Pages's article on it, but it doesn't make sense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.121.73.22 (talk • contribs) 20:27, 14 August 2006 (UTC).
- You might know UTC better by its former name, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), (which was renamed in the 70s). Raul654 23:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think that this subject needs to be discussed here. Obviously the coding of the Misplaced Pages system would have to be changed on the whims of a Wikipedian wanting new articles at his midnight time. Just live with the current timing. Also (as an american) I think the UK bias is not that previlent, and that UTC time is a standard used for many websites and organizations. Besides let the brits have there time zones, we americans will be policing the world with our wealth and power... hahaha --superman
