Many Wikipedia articles need serious editing for style, as one of the common complaints about Wikipedia is that most of our articles look like paragraphs written by different people and then crammed together. Come to think of it, I've seen many SENTENCES that look joined together out of spare parts. Please pay attention to style when editing, and don't go ballistic when someone else cleans up your writing!

I wish, also, that people would just back off the whole CE/BCE dating convention when writing history. I mean, "Common Era?" Common to whom? To Christians! The other major religions have their own systems, so why is the Christian one the catch-all? If secularists want their own dating convention, I'm all for it! But start it with the birth of Voltaire, or something, don't co-opt BC/AD; it already belongs to someone! If you can refute this with common sense, please send me a message!
