Controversy
Wikipedia is infamous for accepting the BCE/CE dating convention, rather than the B.C./A.D. convention, to keep with its policy of remaining a neutral web source. This has been taken to be a denial of the divinity of Jesus Christ by many Christian groups. Further, Wikipedia shows bias in accepting non-American spellings, despite the fact that the majority of English speakers are American.
