They will
probably get bored in the end.
jguk's campaign lasted for 8 months,
Indeed. And the United States was continuously at war with Germany from
1918
until 1945, and has been so with the United Kingdom since 1776.

Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of your rather "snippy" response. The United
States has not, in fact, been continuously at war with Germany for that
perios, nor with the UK. However, jguk did indeed make edit articles solely
for the purpose of deleting BCE/CE for 8 months, almost the entire time he
has been editing here, including deletions of BCE/CE references in every one
of those eight months. In all it was over 1000 edits. We've had other
editors (almost always anonymous) come in here and remove BCE/CE references
from several dozen, or even several hundred, articles over a period of a day
or two, but I've never seen one as persistent as jguk. And by the way,
contrary to geni's contention, I've never seen an anonymous editor come in
and edit dozens or hundreds of articles solely for the purpose of converting
BC/AD to BCE/CE - the phenomenon seems to be one-way only.
Jay.
