:No, consensus was definitely what I meant. On issues like this, Wikipedia operates by the mutual agreement of its editors. In this instance, the relevant agreement is found at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers), and your opinions (as described so fully on your user page) are best deployed on that page's discussion page. If you are able to convince enough people there, it will be adopted as policy and you can get on with standardising the dates on Wikipedia (although I will be very surprised if you are successful there). Until then, edits of this type will only be reverted (I've just reverted your last two), and if you were unwise enough to continue making edits like these you would certainly be blocked from editing. I'm confident however you will see the sense in what we are all saying to you, and work according to the community's norms. Best wishes,
