Conservapedia:Editing article and talk pages
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by TimS (talk | contribs) at 19:23, March 29, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The Conservapedia Manual of Style contains standardized information regarding how to edit pages on Conservapedia. This helps keep a consistent tone in most articles.
Date style
- The style "July 4, 1776" is preferred.
- If the day of the week is involved, e.g., "Sunday, December 7, 1941", the comma after the day of the week is optional ("Sunday December 7, 1941" is allowed).
- US Military style is tolerated in context: "4 July 1776".
- Always use BC and AD (as opposed to BCE and CE) when referring to dates. See Anno Domini for a full discussion.
