[edit] Dates and numbers in this article

Wikipedia policy is clear on the use of Eras in articles:

Both the BCE/CE era names and the BC/AD era names are acceptable, but be consistent within an article. Normally you should use plain numbers for years in the Common Era, but when events span the start of the Common Era, use AD or CE for the date at the end of the range (note that AD precedes the date and CE follows it). For example, 1 BCAD 1 or 1 BCE1 CE.

It is up to the author(s) of an article to determine the dating system to be used and there must be consistency with each article. In this case, for a non-Christian topic in a non-Christian region of the world, BCE/CE appears to make the most sense. Sunray 18:08, 2005 May 22 (UTC)

User: Zereshk, one of the authors of this article has indicated a strong preference for BCE/CE (see Talk: List of kings of Persia. Therefore I am reverting to BCE pending comment from other authors. Sunray 07:03, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
