I have no real objection to making the event listings uniform, but your choice violates WP:DASH, among others. Please be more careful. I'm going to have to clean up after your edits up to the 9th century, which is as far as you had gotten at this time, but any future formatting errors may result in a block. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 00:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, your edit set seems to fall afoul of Requests for arbitration/Date delinking/Proposed decision. This may lead to an immediate block, although, if I were in charge, I wouldn't recommend it.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 01:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the warning. Sorry about the WP:DASH problem. I have been careful not to remove any date links. Though I have edited some text that meant to show approximation with "c." symbol. I will go through your cleanups and try to follow the standards. The pages I am editing are linked up from List_of_centuries. I meant no harm. Prasanthr (talk) 01:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm too tired to continue. I may get back to it tommorrow.  Certain things you should not do:
 * Link or unlink years
 * Change between Month Day and Day Month formats; i.e., June 29 and 29 June.
 * Link or unlink month/days:
 * Change away from the en-dash between years, (spaced if there spaces in the parts, such as August 2008 – July 2009, or 2500 BC – 2400 BC.)
 * Change a dash which is in the middle of a date range to a colon.
 * That being said, I like your change of the spaced em-dash to an unspaced colon, although most of the year articles presently used a spaced hyphen.
 * Most of your changes in 1st century were faulty, changing the correct unspaced en-dashes to spaced hyphens. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 02:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Restored unspaced en-dash in 1st century. I will review the remaining and fix it (if not already fixed). Prasanthr (talk) 02:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
