 BC/BCE in Saul 

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia.  BC vs BCE has been a long debated subject here, without a final answer.  All we have now is a compromise  one that's been in place for years.

Wikipedia has a stated Manual of Style policy on this (WP:ERAS), basically saying either is allowed, but it must be consistent in an article.  It states pecifically ""Do not change the established era style in an article"".   In this case, unfortunately, Saul is AD/BC, so should not have any CE/BCE dates (except in quotes, links, etc.).  Per the policy, it is possible, though rare, for an article to be changed.  If you a specific reason for Saul to be changed to CE/BCE throughout, you should bring it up in its talk page as described in the Manual of Style.  Until you have consensus for that, we have to follow the general policy.   

All is good.  It's unfortunate you ran into a quirky compromise policy so soon after joining Wikipedia.  Given we have the whole English-speaking population as potential editors, things actually run pretty smoothly for the most part.  BTW, note there is a British vs. American English compromise in place as well; some articles are in British English, and some in American English, and that's also unlikely to ever change.  It's a fun big world we live in!    

 Vandalism 

Blocking can only be done by an administrator (which I'm not), but you can report it at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. In the case you mentioned, though, there hadn't been any edits made from that IP address for several months. Anselm  

Happy New Year Jerm729!
