If they are smart, they will eliminate timezones and use GMT/UTC.

The whole world should abandon timezones and use UTC/GMT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:C002:C120:EDEE:9A3E:1424:43F5 (talk) 00:03, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Other countries with winter time

Ireland legally uses winter time; see Time in Ireland and the references therein. Joseph Myers (talk) 01:05, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, I'll rephrase the claim. --Pgallert (talk) 08:11, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot about that for a while but repaired it now. Thanks again, --Pgallert (talk) 08:41, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not really West Africa Summer Time

Given that no other country using West Africa Time observes summer time, and Namibia has a winter time rather than a summer time, isn't "West Africa Summer Time" a misnomer? It would be clearer to say that Namibia Standard Time is the same as South African Standard Time, whilst Namibia Winter Time is the same as West Africa Standard Time. Currently, West Africa Summer Time is a redirect to West Africa Time.

I'm going to alter this, on the basis that it's in line with previous changes such as the move from Daylight saving time in Namibia.
