Use of a BP dating scheme within this article

[edit]

There are two dates within this article that have been stated using a BP dating scheme. It is entirely unnecessary to rehearse the pros and cons of such a scheme here as it is actively debated on the talk page of the BP article it references. What concerns me is that the usage is not reflected in any of the sources that these dates are quoted from, and must therefore have been calculated by an editor. It is the ambition of any good wikipedia page to accurately reflect the information in its sources, and coherently convey that information to readers. I cannot see how that process is helped by altering the dating scheme in this way to a method that is not used by any published writing about Caurau. Some further sources on BP usage of the Caurau dating would be appreciated. RobinLeicester (talk) 01:26, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BP usage

[edit]

Personally, I absolutely detest this PC dating system! This entire article is ruined by it (for the reasons clearly detailed by the other comment) and it needs changing to BC, AD or (deep breath) BCE or CE. Articles should be accessible, and this one is currently irritating due to this horrible system that Wiki seems so tolerant of. Davidkt (talk) 17:55, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

since no further contributions to this issue have been left, and the sources are clear and in concensus, I have re-set the dates to BC. RobinLeicester (talk) 11:25, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
