Please do not add or change content, as you did at Anno Domini, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 论 19:20, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I hope I'm not appearing rude given the context, but I feel I have to explain the other reversions—please see MOS:ERA: in general, both era systems are considered acceptable on Wikipedia and we generally don't change away from which was initially used in a given article.

- Where in the original article does it use BCE or CE in sources. Most of these articles are based on sources from the 20th century and before where BC and AD were the standard. If you can show the sources used in wikipedia that are linked using BCE and CE then its fine, but it feels like someone just changed it from BC to BCE and I'm reverting to the original use.

- That's not the case. The earliest revisions of the article where an era label was first added used BCE/CE—I double-checked and you can verify as such if you'd like. Remsense ‥ 论 17:56, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- In that case I apologize and wish you the best. I am unfamiliar with Wikipedia as I an a relatively new editor so could you link the earliest version of that article. Crossfire1776 (talk) 17:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sure thing, and thank you for being receptive—I have to have this conversation with a lot of people changing articles both ways, and they're often much less civil. And also, apologies since I seem to have misremembered with another page where I did this, since I went back to check and it turns out BC was the original system for Cardinal virtues, first added in 2010, six years after the article was first created. As such, I've moved everything over. Sorry about that! Remsense ‥ 论 18:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- Its not an issue. I fully understand people in the internet can be very hostile, poor social skills combined with complete anomality can do that to a person. You were very polite in your refusal and gave me a clear reason why, which is much better than a lot of people would have been so I tried to respond in kind.
- Either way I wish you the best and hope we can have lots of petty arguments in future about grammar, word choice and formatting. Crossfire1776 (talk) 23:49, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
