curprev 06:2906:29, 1 November 2025 Bkell talk contribs 145,123 bytes −19 Undid revision 1317057618 by Jonesey95 (talk): "since 1982" makes no reference to the "present", so it is slightly preferable; see MOS:DATED; note that this section is explicitly making a *distinction* between these two forms, discouraging "1982–present" and recommending "since 1982" instead, so it doesn't make sense to say that they both have the same issue undo Tag: Undo
