Yes, but at the same time we must respect that everyone has varied
religious beliefs, and I wouldn't be surprised if around about half of
users supported BC, while the other half did not. However, you have a
point, NPOV means BCE. Then again, must we assert that Jesus is the
Messiah/God? We must merely assert that he is christ and that the
calendar is based around his birth (which it certainly appears to be,
if he existed when he supposedly did).

Actually one of the major issues in the dispute is
whether BC/AD violates
NPOV because it requires Wikipedia to make an assertion the Jesus is the
Messiah/God. BCE/CE merely describes the condition, and thus does what the
NPOV policy asks.

Go figure :) I suppose thats all you can put in an article like MoS
anyway. I personally think any policy article that doesn't change
regularly (i.e. no voting pages, no listings and relistings) shouldn't
go over 10kb for readability's sake. Anything more is just too much
content for one page. And there's the added advantage that mailing
list users don't need to abbreviate policy :)
