All, Do we have a policy in place at the moment regarding Western dating? Specifically, do we use BC/AD, as found in Wikipedia articles or the less Christian based BCE/CE?
Personally I'm not all that fussed, but I do prefer to use and see "Common Era" notation, though I am aware of the confusion and sometimes anger that it can cause. The reason I'm asking is that I have just started to get to work on some ancient history articles, beginning with the Flavian Amphitheatre....(though I suppose I could in that instance use either the consular names for the year or the date from the foundation of Roma. ;-) In passing, I must say it's fun having a whole article to oneself for a wee bit....knowing that I can get up in the morning and not have to groan at what some troglodyte has had to say about Russell Crowe looking good as a gladiator or something, LOL. Cheers, Phil. _______________________________________________ Citizendium-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.purdue.edu/mailman/listinfo/citizendium-l
