Your edit to Common Era
You recently added arguments to the "Opposition" section of the Common Era article:


 * While a person using BC/AD may not hold Christian beliefs, the *calendar* itself has Christian roots. The substitution of BCE/CE for BC/AD is, in this respect, ahistorical.


 * Since the calendar in use has Christian roots, the alteration of BC/AD to BCE/CE partially effaces an important contribution of Christianity to world culture

While these arguments might be true, it is not the role of Wikipedia editors to think of arguments for or against a position, but rather, to report the arguments that others have made in reliable sources. Since no sources were provided for these arguments, it seems likely these are your own arguments. I have therefore removed the new arguments. If they in fact come from reliable sources, please feel free to add them back, together with their sources. --Gerry Ashton 20:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
