The convention has just been changed by User:SmartyBoots. Why don't we leave it up to User:Bubba hotep, who has created the article. What say, Bubba? BCE/CE or BC/AD? --Wetman (talk) 00:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I had a sestertius every time someone changed BC to BCE, or indeed inserted CE when nothing was there before, I would probably be writing an article on my own hoard! The manual of style says both are acceptable, but only to use AD or CE when it may be ambiguous, as long as it is consistent within. So, no guesses as to what I prefer... I would just rather not get in an edit war with anyone over it. – B.hotep •talk• 05:02, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
