There is a space missing between the year and the word "in" in the box title. How can I fix this?--BozMo talk 07:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Because there was no year "0", ISO8601 renders, say, 3 BC as "-0002". Could instances of this template for BC-era years therefore have a row for such conversions? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:02, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
New Year 2066 (Vikram Samvat) began on 14 April 2009 (Gregorian calendar). Therefore, 2065 – 2066 (Vikram Samvat) are correct for 2009 (Gregorian calendar), not 2064 – 2065! This also applies to other years on the Gregorian calendar. For example, 2064 – 2065 in 2008 and 2066 – 2067 in 2010. Please, correct this years (Vikram Samvat) in Template:Year in other calendars for all years (Gregorian calendar). Thanks! James Michael 1 (talk) 10:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
this isn't a real calendar, please remove
I feel that a "conceptual" mistake concerns the Islamic years: before 622 they are written with digits + BH (I suppose "Before Hijra"). But as far as I know, in the Islamic world there does not exist anything like the Christian "BC". Even in historical texts written by muslims I only find dates according to the Common Era, but never "Before Hijra". For Muslims, the time before Hijra is jahiliyyah ("ignorance [of the revelation]"), and it has no sense to speak of such times in a historical way. So, I feel that for every year preceding 622 this template should not calculate negative dates, but simply show one and the same word jahiliyyah. --Vermondo (talk) 19:04, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
The Julian calendar is very important for anything relating to Western history prior to the 16th century. I am quite surprised it is not in this template. IBstupid (talk) 04:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
The conversion in the template is complicated enough, but it is supported by over 4000 templates (over 2% of all Wikipedia's templates). Can someone point me to an explanation or table of the conversion/intercaluary months etc.? Rich Farmbrough, 13:00, 8 June 2009 (UTC).
Thai solar calendar year for AD 1782 given as 2325, but this is an anachronism. The Siamese solar calendar was first adopted in AD 1888 with 6 April as its New Year's Day and 6 April 1782 as its epoch (reference date), retroactively making 6 April 1782 6 April Year 1 of the Bangkok Era. In AD 1912, New Year's Day was moved back to 1 April and year counting changed to a Buddhist Era (BE) reckoned as having had an epochal year 0 from 11 March 545 BC, believed to be the date of the death of Gautama Buddha. In AD 1941, New Year's Day moved back to 1 January, making conversion from AD to BE a simple matter of adding 543. The country's name also changed from Siam to Thailand, marking the advent of the Thai solar calendar.Pawyilee (talk) 14:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Room could be made for the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, e.g. 2009 would be 12.19.15.x.x -- 12.19.16.x.x baed on [1] EamonnPKeane (talk) 22:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
