I've no idea 🤷‍♀️The wikipedia one seems most reasonable and apparently is based on "credible survey work as of August 2023" (though no citation on which survey...)

Yep you have to specify the `orders` argument in the lubridate function.

@usrbinr.bsky.social you might appreciate this slide which has a bunch of other date validation steps I use in cleaning:

Where do data come from?

This works with `parse_datetime()` from {readr} but I think `parse_date_time()` from {lubridate} requires passing in the date format. If format known and consistent, I'd say use {lubridate}, otherwise let {readr} guess.

poline is lightweight, dependency free and fast JavaScript function written in TypeScript. It draws lines between anchors over polar coordinates to generate pleasing color palettes.
