In the section on start of year adjustment, there is the oddly specific statement "To reduce misunderstandings about the date, it was normal in parish registers" to dual-date the year. Using dual-dates (e.g. 1660/61) appears to have been common and widespread, not just confined to parish registers - it appears in Samuel Peyps' diary, for example - and it seems this section should be re-worded accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:A1F1:1346:4489:FBC4 (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
even in semi-official documents such asparish registers" to dual-date the year". Other eyes welcome, no doubt it could be improved. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 19:40, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
In the section Other Notations the text "abbreviated st.v. and respectively" appears to be missing the second abbreviation. Since I am not sure what it should be I have not attempted to add it. Reddogbarking (talk) 11:51, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
This article is indirectly about the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar. I misspelled calendar in a wikilink to the first-mentioned article, and was not immediately alerted to the misspelling, because there happens to be a redirect for "Julian calender". So the misspelling must occur rather frequently, or there would be no use for the redirect. But when I consulted wiktionary I found that there is a legitimate English word "calender". According to Wiktionary it refers to a certain type of machinery. So when I went back to Wikipedia I indeed found an article Calender. So "Julian calender" is not just a spelling error that one may helpfully correct with a redirect page, but it may very well be an existing object that is now unintentionally masked by the redirect page in the unlikely case that someone wants to write it up in Wikipedia. Is there a solution for this kind of quandary? Ereunetes (talk) 21:33, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Old Style and New Style dates → Old and New Style dates – The title is much shorter. I don't think it provides ambiguity on what the article is supposed to be about. Interstellarity (talk) 00:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
