Greenland isn't part of Denmark anymore.

The Greenlandic referendum of 2008 gave more autonomy to Greenland, but it is still part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Dave (talk) 04:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone explain the strange 'island' of GMT-4 in the middle of Argentina? This is the only place where I've seen that claim. Retyef 08/06/2010 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.233.71 (talk) 00:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That area is San Luis Province. It changed from UTC-3 to UTC-4 in March 2009, and started DST in October 2009, therefore observing UTC-3 in the summer. It was supposed to end DST in April 2010, but it decided to continue DST indefinitely. [1] It can be argued that this means that the standard time in San Luis is now UTC-3, but there have been cases of areas observing DST for more than a year and reverting back to standard time later, for example, Cuba in 2004-2006. The map only considers standard time, not DST, even though in many areas DST is observed for a longer period than standard time during the year, for example, Europe and North America.

this needs to be updated to match the march 2010 time zone change. --68.190.16.68 (talk) 17:14, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
