Just to make it clear, for the past 9 months he
has been on a campaign
to
remove all BCE/CE notation from Wikipedia, and
has made over 1,000
article
edits solely to support that campaign.
Jay.
So? There has been a few people campaining the
other ways as well.
Really? People who edit dozens of articles solely for the purpose of removing BC/AD notation, and who have made hundreds of edits to further that goal over a period of many months? Who did you have in mind?
SouthernComfort, for one. It was his sole editing procedure from immediately after he was encouraged to engage in it by Slrubenstein after Slrubenstein's failure to get consensus on his BCE POV.

Rick, SouthernComfort edited a narrow set of subject topics (Iran-related), over a period of a few weeks, as part of his general interest in Iran; included in that was his conversion of pages from BC/AD to BCE/CE. He did not edit dozens of articles over a period of many months for the sole purpose of (and to which he contributed nothing else but) date notation conversions. If jguk had converted cricket related articles he was already editing to BC/AD, that would have been one thing; but he has been on an obvious campaign to remove all BCE/CE notation from Wikipedia from any article he comes across which uses it, using the pretense of either "consistency" or "original usage" depending on which best serves his purposes. He still insists on this pretense, rather than admitting the nature of his campaign, though evidence has been presented which shows its specious nature. He has even gone so far as to try to remove all links to www.religioustolerance.org from Wikipedia, a reasonably popular (Alexa ranking 10,000-11,000) religion-oriented website promoting religious tolerance, using the pretense that it is a "blog", but with the obvious reason being that it supports BCE/CE notation. I haven't seen behaviour comparable to this by any of the pro BCE/CE editors.
Jay.
