Date formats
Okay, while finding a reference for you, I see that I'm only partially right. See MOS:NUM#Full date formatting, Canada can go either way. But according to that link:
In general, the following formats are acceptable:
International (European) format: 14 February and 14 February 1990 (common in most countries);
US format: February 14 and February 14, 1990 (predominant in the US, also widely used in Canada; note the comma).
Date formatting in an article is governed by the following three simple guidelines.
And also:
At the start of an article on an individual, his or her dates of birth and death are provided. For example: "Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was a British ..."
I'd really rather go about this amicably. Linking of dates is deprecated and I hope that you see this. There's no reason to fight over this.
