Talk:List of monarchs of Kush

message: Are we all 10 years old?  Nobody wins a revert war.  You don't get to fight about BCE vs BC over this article; policy supports neither side under any consensus interpretation, but policy is firmly against edit warring - you're all wrong.  I'll protect this page if I log on tomorrow and it's been reverted again; I encourage any other admin to do the same - and make sure you protect it in m:The Wrong Version, for Pete's sake! -GTBacchus(talk) 08:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: BCE/CE is a more neutral form. It is used by the academic community which wikipedia is trying to be part of.  It holds less geographic bias.  --Colle||Talk-- 23:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: BCE/CE is used by American academics.  Whether or not it's biased is being/has been discussed at great length at Wikipedia:Eras among other places.  The current policy is that nether BCE/CE nor BC/AD is to be favored, but that editors are not to change date formats depending on what they think is less POV, because it leads to edit wars, there not being consensus.  In other words, the current policy is to leave date formats alone.  Please do not edit any date formats beyond making articles internally consistent. -GTBacchus(talk) 23:53, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds fair.  What articles then use the BCE/CE form? Also, BCE/CE is used by academics across the world (Not just in USA).--Colle||Talk-- 23:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The articles that use BCE/CE form are the ones that happen to have it now.  Any article currently in BCE/CE uses BCE/CE.  Any article currently in BC/AD uses BC/AD.  There are some articles where the regular editors have managed to arrive at a consensus on which format to use; elsewhere the rule is "leave it the heck alone".  This admittedly unhappy state of affairs (the only thing agreed upon at Wikipedia:Eras is that nobody favors the status quo) will remain until someone manages to hammer Wikipedia:Eras into some kind of form that we can get consensus on.  That currently seems impossible. -GTBacchus(talk) 00:04, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But I cannot find any timelines that use the BCE form!  If the ad-hoc policy really is the case, they wouldn't all be one way or another.--Colle||Talk-- 00:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do think the majority of articles on Wikipedia are in BC/AD format.  I personally agree that BCE/CE is better, but we can't just edit war it into being.  One of these days I'll hit Wikipedia:Eras again, and try to make a case for sanity, or at least courtesy, or at least compromise other than the anarcy we've got now, where people are effectively rewarded for edit warring quietly.  It's not the best.  When you're trying to work by consensus, you make some sacrifices. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:48, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I have noticed that the German Wikipedia has better coverage of these rulers, & their list varies at points from the English one -- even though their source is written in English! It appears as if there is a lot of work that needs to be done here. -- llywrch 20:40, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
