CE
I won't revert again but I expect someone else will. A key element of MOS:ERA is "retain the era notation that was used when the article was first created": this rule is to stop continual flip-flopping of the notation. In reality, the usual targets are articles that use CE/BCE, being changed to AD/BC.

Full disclosure: in any articles that I create, I use CE/BCE, so I understand your concerns but the rule protects us more than it hinders. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:18, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

November 2020
Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Julian day. As a general rule, if an article has evolved using predominantly one format, the dates should be left in the format they were originally written in, unless there are reasons for changing it based on strong national ties to the topic. Please also note that Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes (e.g., st, nd, th), articles, or leading zeros on dates.

For more information about how dates should be written on Wikipedia, please see this page.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Pay particular attention to WP:ERA. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:23, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
