Date change concern
Watson, you are edit warring. Guadalcanal Campaign uses d-m-y date formats, as shown in the hidden note at the top of the edit screen. You have no consensus to change and further changes to your preferred format likely will end with you being blocked.

Please honor the longstanding consensus on the page and do not restore your preferred format.

I will now revert to d-m-y; if you change it again, I will report it to the folks that can enforce consensus.

 * I have posted a notice at WP:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring; please comment there if you wish to explain. Kablammo (talk) 17:06, 1 May 2019 (UTC) Please understand that where there is long-standing consensus on such matters it should not be changed without discussion and agreement.  And there is agreement on date format for this and related articles, and other articles on US military campaigns and battles.  You should self-revert to the d-m-y format.

Hi, I reverted your changes to the date format. Please refrain from changing the format when the is a one way implemented, continuing to change it to another way is unhelpful. Regards, cygnis insignis 18:02, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
