The article says " Before Christ, from the Latin Ante Christum"
This is not supported by a source, "Ante Christum" is not mentioned in the before christ page, and this contradicts what it says in Ante Christum Natum - "These terms are chiefly found in modern Latin texts... These terms were not used in medieval and Renaissance Latin texts." Basically "Ante Christum" comes from "Before Christ", not the other way around as is claimed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.53.128 ( talk) 16:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I have moved the link to the Canadian province up to just below before Christ. While being alphabetic is nice, BC is more like referring to the province than a NZ steam engine class. I have also pushed a few up that topped googling BC Korandder 06:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't we have an entire section on the year counter BC/BCE?

Is there a way to briefly state that "B.C." or "BC" are commonly used, virtually more often, than the full name of British Columbia is? This isn't trivial, and comparisons to Boston College and wherever else aren't valid; if anything "B.C." is used as much as if it where the name of the province as the more-formal-sounding full name is.

The fact that Baja California is a huge peninsula in northwestern Mexico is FAR more important than the fact that it is divided, politically, into two states of Mexico that have similar names.
