Talk:CE

message: Is that really true that "CE" is used to abbreviate "century"? If not, I suggest to remove this entry because it is misleading. E.g, I found an article in which the term "12th century CE" was used, and when I tried to look up CE on wikipedia, "century" was the first suggested meaning, but what really was meant is "Common Era". I found that quite confusing and would therefore suggest to remove the "century" entry here to avoid the ambiguation. Or, perhaps, at least move it to the lower section for "ce" instead of "CE"?

replies: text: Good question. Century is usually 'abbreviated' as cy, not ce. My first thought is to remove it. What do other editors think? Should it be removed, should a citation be requested via Template:Verify source, or should it be demoted as suggested if a citation is not forthcoming? — Joe Kress 19:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed it WP:BB. If someone cares to put it back and document it, so much the better; I agree that it's confusing as it was. --Alvestrand 08:32, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

:If you are referring to the keys on a calculator, they mean:
:*C -> Clear (all, everything)
:*CE -> Clear Entry (that is, just the numbers you're typing in right now)

*comment I tend to think "Computer Engineer(ing)", "Civil Engineer(ing)", "Consumer Electronics", "CopyEdit(ing)", "Christian(Common) Era", WinCE, calculator keypad "CE" (clear), are prominent enough to dispute the primarity of each other. -- 70.50.148.122 (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: * Both "BCE" and "AD" are redirects to "Common Era" and "Anno Domini", respectively, even though both also have multiple meanings. Their pages just get a  hatnote. "BC" goes to a disambiguation page, but in my opinion "Before Christ" for "BC" is a lot less WP:PRIMARYTOPIC than "Common Era" for "CE". oh my yes (talk) 15:02, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

message: added this line:
* "Christian Era", better known as Anno Domini
I changed it to * "Christian Era", also known as Anno Domini.
As far as I can tell, the phrases "Christian Era" and "Anno Domini" are equally well understood. It's possible that "CE" is not as well understood as "AD". Another problem is that when one encounters "CE" there is a seldom a statement in the work about whether the author thinks of it as an abbreviation for "Christian Era" or "Common Era". This makes it hard to assess how many writers expect readers to know that "CE" could stand for "Christian Era". Jc3s5h (talk) 18:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
