Dates
Hi. Please familiarise yourself with what the Wikipedia manual of style has to say about BC/BCE dating. There is no uniform preference for either, but you should not change an article's use of one to the other for no reason other than your own preference. In the case of black pepper, there is no particular logic to dating the use of a plant native to South Asia using a dating system from European Christianity. Common Era use makes sense.

If you have any further thoughts on this, please raise them on the talk page, where consensus can be established. Thanks. Escape Orbit (Talk) 10:35, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
