The issue here, though, is that deciding on these
issues (as with
whether to use American or English English) comes
down to the editors
of a particular article. There appears to be
widespread agreement on
the particular articles involved (of which
SouthernComfort was one of
the editors) that BCE-CE was preferable in this
instance. Jguk then
went around changing them to his preference anyway,
regardless of the
article consensus - and that's what isn't on.

SouthernComfort was NOT one of the editors involved
until after he got into "change every article about
Iran to BCE" mode. jguk was RIGHTLY changing SC's
edits back to what the original authors had left them
at.
