[edit] BC to BCE

"BC" should be changed to "BCE" (Before Common Era); consistent with usage recommended by the American Historical Association. 20:51, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC) soverman

Ironically you are being American-centric by saying that if an American institution recommends something, we should follow through. Kransky 14:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't we explain here what decades are rather than just list them???? (talk)--BozMo 20:43, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

Good idea, put it in Kransky 14:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Decade vs Decades

Decades: "This page refers to a period of ten years." - no it doesn't. Decades refers to periods of ten years. A decade is a unit of time equal to (a period of) ten years. We have now lost that information from wikipedia by replacing an article with a redirect. Ian Cairns 00:05, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC) Count your digits. You start at one and proveed to ten just like with decades.10:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced comment

Some commentators suggest that this phenomenon will not continue into the 21st Century with its decades really? Wow...I would just love to know speculated this and the basis of their reasoning! Kransky 14:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
