[WikiEN-l] Arbitration Committee Seeking Comment

Sat Jun 18 12:23:13 UTC 2005

Besides doing a lot of good editing (by repute, as I have only looked  
at his edit wars involving [[common era]] notation) Jguk believes  
that the notation AD - BC is vastly superior to the common era  
notation CE - BCE (which he believes is incomprehensible to our  
users). Based on that belief he has changed the notation in a number  
of articles, most of which he does not ordinarily edit, and if  
reverted, engages in edit wars.

The proposed decision in the arbitration case is under consideration  
with no remedy proposed having majority support, see:
