===dates===
-----
Always use Arabic figures, without ''st'', ''nd'', ''rd'', or ''th'':

<blockquote>''The record was broken May 10.''</blockquote>

See [[Style Guide#months|months]] and [[Style Guide#years|years]].

===months===
-----
Capitalize the names of months in all uses. When a month is used with a specific date, abbreviate only ''Jan.'', ''Feb.'', ''Aug.'', ''Sept.'', ''Oct.'', ''Nov.'', and ''Dec.'':

<blockquote>''Feb. 12, 1911, Aug. 18''</blockquote>

Spell out when using alone, or with a year alone:

<blockquote>''February 1911, August''</blockquote>

When a phrase lists only a month and a year, do not separate the year with commas:

<blockquote>''January 1897, May 1934''</blockquote>

When a phrase refers to a month, day, and year, set off the year with commas:

<blockquote>''Thursday, June 3. Oct. 15, 1923.''</blockquote>

See [[Style Guide#dates|dates]] and [[Style Guide#years|years]].

===years===
-----
When a phrase refers to a month and day within the current year of the featured season, do not include the year, except for opening and closing dates, SEO, and Infobox information:

<blockquote>''The actors performed on July 12.''</blockquote>

If the reference is to a past or future year, opening and closing dates, SEO, and Infobox information, include the year and set it off with commas:

<blockquote>''The group performed previously on June 20, 1905.''</blockquote>

Use an ''s'' without an apostrophe to indicate spans of decades or centuries:

<blockquote>''the 1910s, the 1900s''</blockquote>

Years are an exception to the general rule in numerals that a figure is not used to start a sentence:

<blockquote>''1918 was a record-breaking year.''</blockquote>
