Olmec →
Olmecs – Per
WP:PLURAL articles of this sort should use the plural form and for consistency with other articles such as
Saxons or
Vikings or
Aztecs (which was recently moved under this same rationale. Also, since the article itself uses the plural form with an "s", so too should the article title.

ERA : BCE vs BC |
---|
consensus was reached in 2010, a new discussion about why this particular article should change to a new era style will be required to change that |
Per WP:ERA: "An article's established era style should not be changed without reasons specific to its content; seek consensus on the talk page first (applying Wikipedia:Manual of Style § Retaining existing styles) by opening a discussion under a heading using the word era, and briefly stating why the style should be changed." By accretion of edits over the years the BCE style seems to have slowly crept in and become the preferred style by most editors. Many other New World archaeology and anthropology pages use this style. Consensus on a date style can and does change on articles. And the provision in WP:ERA saying they must stay with the original style was removed years ago. Is there a preference for a date style among the regular editors and watchers of this page? Should it stay at the current BC version, or should it be changed by consensus to the BCE which seems to be preferred by most editors and was used since January before today edit? I'll probably be off wiki for the rest of the day, so any interested parties should feel free to chime in with their arguments, but RL will probably keep me from responding for the rest of the day at least. One addendum, the user User:NDV135, seems to concentrate on this subject, a virtual SPA for finding articles where the article has changed over time from BC to BCE and changing them back.

The stone head featured in the game show, "Legends of the Hidden Temple", has the name "Olmec". I'm trying to figure out where that would belong on this page. Booger-mike ( talk) 15:30, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
