|Shouldn't the English Wikipedia chaqnge the BC dates, to BCE. As I'm sure
|you all know, BC==Before Christ and BCE=Before Common Era. Now, surely BCE
|is a better term, as it doesn't force anyone to conform to this christian
|naming convention. Maybe you've already considered tihs, are there any
|reasons not to make the change?

The acronyms may expand differently, but they don't mean anything
different.  Both date from the birth of Christ, the beginning of the
"common era", a watershed in history that affected everyone, Christian
or not.
