Please can Andrews keyers remember to enter dates in the European format - ie. 6/12/1903 = 6 December 1903.

Thank you!

You must be getting better quality keyings that you're only complaining about the FORMAT of the dates used. Not people using the wrong dates entirely. :)

I was only just thinking how much better the Andrews keying has become...perhaps I'm getting all the good ones :)

I've just had a week away and have noticed a huge improvement in the Andrews sets I have just arbitrated. There were only very minor differences between the two sets and far more correct than I have ever had before. Let's hope it continues.

Agreed re. quality of keying - I haven't had to Reject an entire dataset for quite a while.

Re: Andrews Collection - reminder about European dates - no zero before a date (ex. December 6, not 06)

Can I also add that there should not be a 0 before the digit for the day date which is less than 10. I have just had to arbitrate several times against someone who keeps putting the zero in and it seems such a shame that it is the only difference between the two keyers.
