 * Who the hell do you think you are changing the correct format of B.C - BEFORE CHRIST back to the total joke of BCE?! 82.16.200.171 (talk) 09:02, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Read WP:ERA, and understand that according to our policies there is no "correct" era style. 09:06, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Maccabean Revolt, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 11:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Why are editing back what i have edited. BC is the correct format and you have edited back to BCE.
 * I do not need to explain. It is self evident.
 * This is religious history and Before Christ is the correct “era style!” 82.16.200.171 (talk) 11:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * First off, this isn't quite the standard Wikipedia uses - see MOS:ERA. It's just what the original and/or main author of the article prefers, and you are not the main or original author.
 * Second, even to the extent it is religious history, it is religious history shared with Judaism as well. Obviously many Jews don't mind BC/AD, but it is equally true that many Christians don't mind BCE/CE.  So this isn't a strong reason to use one date style or the other.

 * I am Christian and I do mind. 82.16.200.171 (talk) 15:21, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * What is clear is you and other “admin”
 * have an issue with B.C. and A.D. - that is for certain. Why is the question?! 82.16.200.171 (talk) 15:22, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, I have good news then. If you decide to become a long-term Wikipedia editor, and either start an article or make major contributions to a mostly unmaintained article, you can use whatever era style you want, and then other editors will revert edits moving that article to CE/BCE.  That's the compromise MOS:ERA makes.
 * If MOS:ERA was abolished and drive-by edit wars were allowed, then even if you went through every article on Wikipedia and changed it to AD/BC, you would have to fear someone changing it right back. We've skipped the edit wars.  SnowFire (talk) 15:19, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
