Second- while i have no preference as to whether or not the Plato article uses BC or BCE, at wikipedia we have a policy of internal consistancy within a given article. This means, in effect, that while neither BC or BCE is prefered under policy, unless you are changing a BC to a BCE to make sure the article is consistent with itself, it's expressly forbidden to make such changes. by wiki standards BC is just as correct as BCE. British English and American English, for instance, are in the same situation- neither british spellings nor american spellings are prefered; the goal is consistency within the article, and other than that, you're not supposed to change british spellings to american ones or vice-versa. Again, i have no preference, but people have gotten themselves into trouble with arbcom over such issues, and they often turn into edit wars. check out the manual of style for more info, particularly the guide on dates and numbers.
cheers and happy editing
