For sites last visited in May, some citations given properly indicate "May" without a following period (e.g., it doesn't errantly abbreviate "May" as "May.". However, both Bluebook styles (where abbreviation of months is required) improperly indicate that May is an abbreviation ("May."). Months of >4 letters should be abbreviated, see The Bluebook, A Uniform System of Citation, 17th ed, 2000, p. 316. Months are indicated as follows: Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., May, June, July, Aug., Sept., Oct., Nov., Dec.) Bluebook style H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=H.264/MPEG-4_AVC&oldid=292986051 (last visited May. 29, 2009). Bluebook: Harvard JOLT style See Wikipedia, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC (optional description here) (as of May. 29, 2009, 13:15 GMT).
This is not a MediaWiki (or Cite extension) bug, since English wikipedia uses [[MediaWiki:Cite text]], in which, {{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}} is used followed by a period (i.e. '{{CURRENTMONTHABBREV}}. {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}'). Perhaps they should use {{#ifeq:...}} or something. Closing as INVALID.
