Hallo Nemesis,
I reverted your edits according to the process called WP:BRD (Bold, Revert, Discuss): please read it and don`t take it personally. Your minor corrections are in DB and can be recovered (by me or you) at the end of the discussion. About the opportunity of inserting the Greek name after the Turkish one, there has been a long discussion involving many users several time ago (now is in the archive), and the consensus was that the Greek name goes in a section about the alternate names of the city. Please go to the archive and read it. If you have any observations, please go to the talk page and don`t touch the last stable version until the discussion is over, thanks.

Era changes

edit

We have guidelines for this at WP:ERA. Both BC and BCE are 'standard dating' in that we accept either in our articles. Please stop making such changes. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 09:18, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

You said yourself, both are standard, so why do I detect an attempt to rid the pages of AD and BC? Keep it as it is, it has been used for centuries, as much as people may try, they cannot rid the world of the catholic influence, even our own calendar is named after a Pope.

"A person only leaves the Church by excommunication, he was never excommunicated, and thus, is still catholic"

What are you talking about? You don't have a source that he ever became Catholic in the first place! All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 04:12, 16 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

"Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in." He clearly stated, now if to you that isn't enough, then you should look for some therapy. This is not your playground to be messing around with articles.
