Welcome
Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Please note that it is Wikipedia policy that British-related articles use British spellings (WP:ENGVAR) - Wensleydale cheese is British-related and therefore the original spellings of "favourite", "flavour" etc are correct. In addition, it is not appropriate to remove "Sir" from "Sir Edmund Hillary" as he is entitled to use that. Halsteadk 21:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

AD/CE
Hi Carnun,

Please leave AD/CE conventions in articles as you find them. However it started has priority. Trying to convert Wikipedia to your preference just sparks edit wars.

Thanks, kwami 01:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. If an article has been stable in a given style, it should not be converted without a style-independent reason. -- Fullstop 19:48, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Sandbox for test edits. Please do not remove warnings from this page AF'US'CO 20:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

If there is a firm policy in Wikipedia against removing old content from one's own talk page, please direct me to it Carnun 22:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)


 * See WP:USER. So, I think you can do whatever you want to your own talk page, including deletion of material that offends you, or just to keep it neat.   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 23:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Please do not make changes in articles that utilize the CE/BCE conventions for dates unless there is a specific reason for doing so. Your edits to Minoan eruption have been reverted. You have been warned about these type of edits in the past. Orange Marlin Talk• Contributions 22:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

AD/BC v. BCE/CE
Regarding the use of AD/BC as opposed to BCE/CE- this has been a very controversial issue. At present, both systems are acceptable. In general we leave alone whichever system was in place when the article was first written. Constant changing of them promotes edit wars and other problems and is discouraged. JoshuaZ 23:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've blocked you for 24 hours for continued BC-AD/CE-BCE warring. When the block expires I hope you will find more productive things to do with your time. JoshuaZ 19:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've reverted your BCE/CE -> AD/BC on Aramaic language and have tagged it as vandalism. Please do not do so again as the vast majority of Aramaic literature uses BCE/CE and it is the accepted standard for that field. Thanks! :-) אמר Steve Caruso 17:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


 * And I have blocked you again, for the same issue. 48 hours this time.  - Philippe &#124; Talk 16:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You have been blocked again. If you continue to edit in this manner, the length of block will likely to increase. --BorgQueen 14:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi! It's OK to use BC/AD language on specifically Christian articles, but articles that have substantial Jewish, Moslem, or other religion perspectives use BCE/CE by Wikipedia convention. This includes the Levite article. It also includes articles on shared Hebrew Bible/Old Testament topics. Best, --Shirahadasha 19:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Burma/Myanmar
Please don't change the links Myanmar to Burma. That country is officially known as Myanmar, which is actually just a different romanization of the same original word as Burma. I am opposing that brutal military government of Myanmar as much as you, but Wikipedia tries to keep the neutral viewpoint, thus using Burma as a sign of opposition similar to why the US government continues to use Burma is not possible here. andy 20:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

block warning
These constant era changes to stable articles, without discussion, are getting ridiculous. You alone do not set Wikipedia standards. I've got better things to do than revert you. Stop or I'll block you. kwami 23:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

BC/AD vs BCE/CE
Please stop editing articles to change BCE to BC and CE to AD. Wikipedia has no generally established preference for which convention to use, but per WP:DATE it is not considered appropriate to change from one system to another within an article. Please stick with the first selected style. Please also note that continuing to behave like this may be considered disruption to illustrate a point and other admins may take a dimmer view.

You have been blocked again. I don't think I need to explain why, since many people have explained here already and you, for some mysterious reason, choose to ignore them. --BorgQueen 10:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Blocked again. Please note that, if you continue this kind of behavior, an indef block is not an impossibility. --BorgQueen (talk) 05:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Suspected sock puppets/Carnun for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 11:21, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
