I thought that Wolf was saying that the Wikipedia said that both BCE, and CE were after 1 AD, but now that I have re-read her post I realise that she is talking about the placement of the letters AD and BC, relative to the date.
BTW, I don't recall seeing AD placed before the date. As far as I recall it is always after the date, just like BC, so you would say 2007 AD. Note that I am *not* an historian, I just have an interest in history, so I could be wrong. I have a heap of history books. I will have a look through some of them later in the day.
