Please stop labelling your era changes from BCE to BC "stylistic" etc

Your first edits were discussing era changes. You appear to think you understand WP:ERA but all your changes are one way and do not mention era changes. Volcanic Winter was clearly a CE article save a couple of uses of C.E. and a recent unneeded addition of AD to a CE article. You didn't bring it in line with the style of the rest of the page as you claimed. Silifke started as CE[1]. Perhaps you could show good faith by fixing it as CE?

Thanks you for your message. I don’t seek out pages to change the dating style, it’s only ever If I come across inconsistencies or issues whilst reading them, such as was the case with the edit earlier today. The reason for my dating edits always being back to the traditional Gregorian dating style Is that, unfortunately, there are many Wikipedia users who are intentionally replacing it with the bce/ce format, regardless of whether it was the original format used, and many of these changes go unnoticed. If I have changed any pages that were originally in the CE style than that is an oversight on my part and I will check more carefully in future and will re-edit the Silifke page as suggested.

And it’s my experience that at least as many editors change to BC/AD whenever they see it. Doug Weller talk 07:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
