The year associated with the traditional birth of Christ should be 1 BC, not 1 AD. For purposes of reckoning the calender, Dionysius Exiguus set the date of Jesus' birth on 25 December 753 AUC (ab urbe condita: that is, since the (traditional) founding of Rome), and started the era 8 days later on 1 January 754. The year 754 became 1 AD, and when BC dates began to be used, the year 753 was 1 BC, as there is no year 0. Odd as it may seem when you abbreviate it, the traditional birth of Christ was 25 December 1 BC, not AD! Someone else

Who is Dorothy Worsworth? -- Zoe

I guess it's a typo for "Dorothy Wordsworth", sister of William, and herself a noted diarist. I'll fix it. --Camembert

Was Tony Martin born in 1912 or 1913? His profile says 1913, but this page says 1912.

POV and inaccurate information

There is no evidence that Jesus was actually born on December 25. December 25 is the time around the Winter Solstice, and also was the date of the celebration of the birth of Mithras. This is the origin of the Christmas holiday. The article reads "0 - (actual date should be 6 BC) Jesus, great religious teacher, one of the most influential figures of all time". "Great religious teacher" is POV, and "one of the most influential figures of all time" is POV, unless you add something like "considered to be one of the most influential figures in history" but that "of all time" nonsense is pathetic. There is no "year 0", and it would be better put just as "1" not "0". Revolución 23:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
