Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 21:53, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Common era
First, I prefer BCE/CE. Secondly, especially given your name, you need to read WP:ERA and WP:NPOV. At least you are open about it, unlike some IPs. --Dougweller (talk) 21:57, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback. I will take into account the proper contexts of using BC/BCE and will do so with a neutral point of view. As I see it, in most of the articles here, using BCE would be more neutral than using BC. --CommonEraCrusader (talk) 22:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I may have confused you. You can't use that as a reason to change era style. Please be careful, I really don't want you to get into trouble. Styles should normally not be changed from their original without agreement on the talk page. NPOV isn't a good reason as many people don't see it as neutral. That's just a fact of life I'm afraid. I've dealt with this a long time and I'm an Administrator so I think I know. Dougweller (talk) 09:01, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
