When I'm not sure about how to write the date on an official log, I just put "Supplemental".
It works for Stardates, it'll work for Earth Dates.

dd/mm/yyyy on paper, but if I'm writing for online consumption I write it long hand, like 25th October 2010 because otherwise those who write it in the strange and counter-intuitive way will get confused, and I desperately hate trying to work out what dating system people are using so I am considerate.
Honestly I think we should all jump up and down on countries that write the date the wrong way (i.e not dd/mm/yyyy) and do not use the metric system (all three of them)... that's a way I could get behind >.<

Well, take today's date. If I was writing it at the top of my schoolwork, as I have a habit of doing, I'd write '201010' but if I was writing the date in full, I'd write October 20, 2010. Teachers hate it, because in Australia we usually write 20 October 2010 instead.
Day/Month/Year, as it goes up incrementally - seems the most logical way to do it. Also I suppose being British is a factor.
Day/month/year. German standard.
Putting the month before day is american weirdness. Like inches, pounds, gallons and not knowing that europe is not a country *g*.
It is smallest unit to highest. (I could also accept highest to lowest) But you don't mix it for the hell of it. THERE HAS TO BE ORDER!!!

Day Month Year, is what I write.
Year Month Day also makes sense though.
Month Day Year doesn't make sense no matter which way you look at it.

D/M/Y if numeric format (20.10.2010), written month/day/year (October 20th, 2010) if writing out the month. I fucking HATE M/D/Y in numeric format as it's so unnecessarily confusing. Especially when thinking on September 11th (I WAS kinda thinking WTF though...) that CoD: Black Ops is coming out.
