Date notation not consistent

[edit]

While reading through this article I noticed that at different points there are different notations in use for dates; it appears that both the BCE/CE notation and BC/AD notation are used at different points. It would be best to get this all switched to one notation (I would prefer the BCE/CE myself but I will leave that up to the discretion of someone with enough access to edit this).

with A view of the sea from the Jordanian shore with the hills of the West Bank in the background The occupation is already mentioned within the west bank, this article is about a giant low-lying uber-salty puddle and not the I-P conflict.  🇮🇱🇺🇸JayCubby probby haz NPOV on the Isr.-Pal.

This article has been vandelised

[edit]

And since it is locked, I can only assume that the vandall either hacked it, or is someone with the power to edit it that misused this power. 2A02:14F:1F7:537B:0:0:4F25:E624 (talk) 04:20, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to be more specific - which change are you objecting to? Mikenorton (talk) 09:06, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The opening lead sentence that says "to the east and the Israeli-occupied West Bank to the west and Israel to the southwest." should use a comma rather than a redundant and (one "and" at the end of sentence is enough), like this (change in bold): "...to the east, the Israeli-occupied West Bank to the west and Israel to the southwest."--Steven Homan (talk) 00:15, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
