Wrong Gregorian date on calendar widget
[edit]I'm looking at this article on 17 Nov 24 and it tells me today's Gregorian date is 14 Nov. What's up with that? 75.185.193.38 (talk) 19:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Needs sourcing
[edit]"Gregory's calendar reform modified the Julian rule, to reduce the average length of the calendar year from 365.25 days to 365.2425 days and thus corrected the Julian calendar's drift against the solar year: the Gregorian calendar gains just 0.1 day over 400 years." --KimYunmi (talk) 01:53, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Foula
[edit]I see "Foula in Shetland, Scotland, a small settlement on a remote island of the archipelago, still celebrates festivities according to the Julian calendar." NO - Foula is the island. Its Wikipedia page includes 'Largest settlement : Ham'. 94.30.84.71 (talk) 16:41, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Table in section "New Year's Day"
[edit]It seems to me that this table doesn't belong where it is (since it seems to be, or at least have become) a partial WP:CFORK of the full table at Adoption of the Gregorian calendar. I propose to delete the column "adoption of the new calendar" as it is largely irrelevant and potentially confusing. Does anyone have a better idea? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:26, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
