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:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified 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 one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * 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; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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! Doug Weller talk 19:45, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Era styles
Please see WP:ERA. I've reverted you as that article has used CE for years. Doug Weller talk 19:46, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Why change AD into CE it's absurd FranklinFrancis19 (talk) 04:58, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Because we have a guideline that you are deliberately ignoring. Doug Weller  talk 07:35, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

When Wikipedia had started the BC and AD were being written, before Wikipedia the BC and AD's were doing the rounds but sometimes during the 16th or 17th century instead they started using BCE and CE and those who started using that I believe were not the faithfuls But still the AD and BC were being written, so you can't say that CE and BCE were being used years ago FranklinFrancis19 (talk) 13:22, 17 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure that you understand our guideline at all. I'm saying that an article that was started using AD or CE, or has used it for a number of years, should not be changed without discussion. Doug Weller  talk 14:10, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

If that's the case I have seen these changes sometimes ago when AD was changed to CE but no discussions of any sort had taken place, everyone changes according to his will and I have not seen you then, I think you got my point. FranklinFrancis19 (talk) 17:37, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I've blocked people for doing that. Doug Weller  talk 19:56, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
