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:TimezoneMiddleEurope]] with templates. What do you think about it? --[[User:Peu|Peu]] 13:04, 23 October 2006 (EDT) | I think it would be helpful to tag the (active) user pages with time zone informations for inter-user-coordination and for interest.

May I propose improving the names of individual timezones, 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: | |||
*<tt>UTC+2 - Eastern European Time (EET) | |||
*UTC+1 - Central European Time (CET) | |||
*UTC+0 - Grenwich Mean Time (GMT) | |||
*UTC-4 - Atlantic Time (Canada) | |||
*UTC-5 - Eastern Time (US & Canada) | |||
*UTC-7 - Mountain Time (US & Canada) | |||
*UTC-9 - Alaska Time</tt> | |||
This would then make it easier to sort within this mother category, and would help to clarify actual differences between individual timezones of users/people. [[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 12:51, 4 October 2012 (PDT) | |||
