Date systems edit
Please do not change date style without getting talk page consensus. It is against WP policy to do this. Style should be consistent within an article and should be left in the existing format.--Charles (talk) 10:12, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Currently, the date systems used have not been consistent within single articles and fall below accepted standards. The terms BC and AD both proclaim Jesus as the Messiah and the being by which all time is reckoned. To persist in the usage of this emphatically ideological terminology goes contrary to academic standards in the field of religious studies and even more, undermines Wikipedia's claim to be a channel for the exchange of disinterested thought and information. Allowing the use of BC and AD by default is a decision in and of itself. If Wikipedia's goal is to evangelize Christianity and force its religious terminology upon others, then as distressed as I am to have been deceived, I am happy to refrain from volunteering my time and expertise — whether in grammatical editing, supplying academic information, or supporting ideologically neutral goals — to the enterprise. --SuperSha (talk) 01:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
I am particularly interested in the utter lack of response (by Charles or anyone with authority) to my refutation of the above attack, and thus will continue to ensure consistent dating within articles, neutral denotation of the same, and to accurately reflect and uphold standards in scholarship — all of which WP is against, if I am to take the single comment above as an accurate reflection of WP policy.--Sharix (talk) 09:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
