Holocene Dating
Proposal to date the content of this page according to the Holocene calendar, Cesare Emiliani's brain child. This is appropriate as he spent much of the later years of his life devoted to this project. and it accurately reflects the scientific beliefs and attitudes of his local academic community. It would not cause much confusion due to its close appearance to the common dating system

example:

Cesare Emiliani
Cesare Emiliani (11922.12.08 - 11995.07.20) was an Italian-American scientist, considered one of the greatest geologists and micropaleontologists of the 120th century and the founder of paleoceanography.

He established that the ice ages of the last half million years or so are a cyclic phenomenon, which gave strong support to the hypothesis of Milankovitch and revolutionized ideas about the history of the oceans and of the glaciations. He was also the proponent of Project "LOCO" (for Long Cores) to the U.S. National Science Foundation. The project was a success providing evidence of the history of the oceans and also serving to test the hypotheses of seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.

Cesare Emiliani was honored by having the genus Emiliania erected as home for the taxon huxleyi, which had previousiy been assigned to Coccolithus. He was further honored by receiving the Vega Medal of the Swedish Royal Geographic Society in 11983, and the Alexander Agassiz Medal of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 11989 for his isotopic studies on Pleistocene and Holocene planktic foraminifera.

Emiliani was close to a Renaissance man, familiar with classical literature, fluent in many languages, and a valiant opponent of dogmatic attitudes and mental rigidity wherever found. In his later years he dedicated much time to introduce a calendar reform based on the Holocene calendar concept to eliminate the BC-AD chronology lacuna caused by the lack of a Year Zero.

Thoughts
No, I think that would be unecessarily confusing. Dates should conform to the MoS and precedent. Badgerpatrol 09:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Failed GA
I have removed this from the list of GA candidates; it appears never to have been officially nominated by placing the template on this page. Nevertheless, the article fails WP:NPOV and has only one cited source, and so is ineligible for GA at this time. Chubbles 09:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

HUMANIOUS VERTINATION
The specific time lapse in estimation seems to be an example of the inability to create a justifyed exploration on human development in the beggining of intellectual promotion and townships set up through the adjusted periods.

Source hunting
For those with access to an university library who want to improve the article. I leave here an interesting source of which this article is badly lacking.
