there is a place for solar mean time on List of tz database time zones table
There is a site called (http://www.timeanddate.com/) where you can get solar mean time for the tz database table. I thought it will be a great addition to the table so people can see or calculate time difference before standard time existed.
Example of how the table looks like after the figures are inserted.
| CC | Coordinates | TZ | Comments | UTC offset | UTC offset DST | Solar mean time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US | +611305−1495401 | America/Anchorage | Alaska (most areas) | −09:00 | −08:00 | -09:59:36h | |

- Well, one problem I see (and it's a detail, I know) is that then the note about Alaska (most areas) becomes problematic. Most of Alaska is one time zone (the Aleutians are another). That zone is based on the solar mean time at a line of longitude way in the eastern part (the panhandle bordering Canada). Every degree west you go, the solar mean time is 4 minutes less. A degree of longitude is about 39 miles at the equator--roughly half that in Alaska. Uporządnicki (talk) 13:48, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Recent timezone changes
Please can someone review the recent timezone changes by 177.71.45.141 and roll back if appropriate? I can't find any sources for the ending of DST etc. in these places. Certes (talk) 13:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit war on Balance wheel
There is an edit war going on over the introduction to Balance wheel. Would appreciate more outside opinions at Talk:Balance wheel#Recent changes to introduction.
Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
