Category talk:Time zone

using time zones

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)

Looks good to me! :-) TedErnst | talk 13:46, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

What's the name of your time zone (the distance to UTC is -6 right?) --Peu 14:42, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

Current sig time for me is EDT (UTC-4). I want to change it to CET (UTC+1). How? – Smiddle / T·C·S·A 15:30, 23 October 2006 (EDT)

Time zone naming conventions

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)
