using time zones[edit]
I think it would be helpful to tag the (active) user pages with time zone informations for inter-user-coordination and for interest. Look at my first steps Category:Central European Time with templates. What do you think about it? --Peu 13:04, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

Time zone naming conventions[edit]
May I propose improving the names of individual time zones, to a more logical and user-friendly way. I'm suggesting they all begin with the UTC and hour difference, then a dash, then either any local name or primary city. A few examples:
- UTC+2 - Eastern European Time (EET)
- UTC+1 - Central European Time (CET)
- UTC+0 - Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- UTC-4 - Atlantic Time (Canada)
- UTC-5 - Eastern Time (US & Canada)
- UTC-7 - Mountain Time (US & Canada)
- UTC-8 - Pacific Time Zone
- UTC-9 - Alaska Time
This would then make it easier to sort within this mother category, and would help to clarify actual differences between individual time zones of users/people. Hoof Hearted • talk2HH 12:51, 4 October 2012 (PDT)
