Why wonder?

Each volume:
1. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49623&pgnum=1 - Warsaw 1884
2. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49624&pgnum=1 - Warsaw 1895
3. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49625&pgnum=1 - Warsaw 1891
4. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49626&pgnum=1 - Warsaw 1898
5. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49627&pgnum=1 - Warsaw 1902
6. http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49628&pgnum=1 - Pietrekov 1907

(None call him ga'on, all have pretty much the same self description.)

These fit the years of the first editions that wikipedia gives, based
on "The Chafetz Chaim" by R MM Yoshor, pg 603.

(But even if wiki has it wrong, they are editions published by the author.)
