User:Snappy changed the date format from American (month first) to international (day first) style. I undid this change and was reverted. While Keogh was born in Ireland, what makes him notable is his participation in American events: the Civil War and the Indian Wars. Therefore, I think his article should use American-style dates. Similarly, somebody like
Arnold Schwarzenegger's article should use American-style dates, even though he was born in Austria, and it does. –

Keogh is also well known for fighting in the Papal Wars, not solely for the American Civil War. Schwarzenegger has spent a much longer portion of his life in the US than Keogh did.

Bad form to revert in the middle of a discussion, and claim in an edit summary that there was 'no further response', made at 2 am my time. Different editors are in different time zones and don't always respond straight away. Anyway, I'll leave article to you since you seem to have a case of ownership going on.

My apologies, I got a little impatient and figured you had conceded the issue since your previous response was so prompt. I claim no ownership of the article (if you look I have done relatively little with it, it just happened to be on my watchlist), but I do feel strongly that Keogh is notable for the American Civil War and Indian Wars, and that should dictate the spelling and date formats used in the article. However, I am willing to see what other people think on this issue if you want to pursue it further. –

"The badly injured animal was found on the fatal battlefield, and nursed back to health as a regimental mascot, where he remained until his death in 1890.[5] This horse, Comanche, is ..."
"The farming carried out at Keogh's home place in Leighlinbridge was arable,..."
This isn't a standard use of 'arable,' last I checked. What is it supposed to mean? I assume it means that the land was fit for more than grass and praties, but that's by reading into it.

Well, belay that; this does seem to be perfectly acceptable British English. Objection withdrawn, but it still does sound stilted in LeftPondian. "Arable farming" works, and "arable land" is a commonplace, but split like that sounds odd
