Assuming you're not holding my newbie edits 9 months ago against me, I very quickly stopped changing articles from BCE/CE to BC/AD notation. What I continued doing was (1) reverting those who were changing BC/AD notation to BCE/CE notation (which presumably, if you are neutral, you would agree with on the grounds that they shouldn't have changed the notation in the first place); (2) making articles consistent. When I first came to WP most articles that used BCE/CE notation also used BC/AD notation. It makes sense (and indeed should be regarded as a good edit) to copyedit those articles so that they use one and only one notation.

Wouldn't a barnstar be more appropriate than approbation?
