BC usage

[edit]

“The Wikipedia standard is to use BC/AD, and not the BCE/CE notation used by many academics. This is because far more people understand and use the BC/AD notation than the BCE/CE notation, and is in line with the general philosophy outlined above.”

This is what the WP:MOS Era states, not some sandbox.
  • "The default calendar eras are Anno Domini (BC and AD) and Common Era (BCE and CE). Either convention may be appropriate for use in Wikipedia articles depending on the article context. Apply Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Retaining existing styles with regard to changes from one era to the other." --Paramandyr (talk) 13:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
