Date changes "BCE/CE" to "BC/AD"

Hi 220.98.42.236, You have just changed the date format of Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, from "BCE/CE" to "BC/AD", with no discussion on the article's talk page, or comment in the edit summary.

Although Wikipedia does not have a preferred style for year numbering systems, please note that Wikipedia policy on this subject (see WP:ERA) states: "Do not change from one style to another unless there is substantial reason for the change, and consensus for the change with other editors."

Please note also that this issue has been previously discussed on the talk page, with most of the participants opposing the change. I have therefore reverted your changes. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 14:28, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Hrodvarsson (talk) 22:33, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, you may be blocked from editing. Hrodvarsson (talk) 22:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Bahudhara (talk) 23:11, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no "vandalism". I strongly dispute that accusation. The "BC" "AD" dating system is a standard dating system. Kindly do not falsely accuse these changes of vandalism in the future.

Please note that Common Era is also a standard dating system that has been in use for a number of centuries, and that Wikipedia's Manual of Style does not prefer one system over another - see MOS:ERA, where the policy states:

Do not change the established era style in an article unless there are reasons specific to its content. Seek consensus on the talk page before making the change. Open the discussion under a subhead that uses the word "era". Briefly state why the style is inappropriate for the article in question. A personal or categorical preference for one era style over the other is not justification for making a change.

Repeatedly making changes to an article without discussing the issue on the article's talk page can be regarded as disruptive behaviour (see also: WP:POINT. Bahudhara (talk) 00:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I already addressed it. It's not a "personal preference" It's a more historically relevant and appropriate dating system. Just because historical revisionists have a "consensus" on BCE CE doesn't make it appropriate. Same would be said if they decided to use the French Revolutionary, Japanese or Holocene Calendars. I have changed nothing of the content, nothing of the battle, only applied a more appropriate dating system.
