:::: You were born in 1752? Sheesh, you're almost as old as dirt. Aside from that, Pope Gregory XIII (and his [or a] scientific advisor and primary author of the reformed calendar: Aloysius Lilius, AKA: Luigi Lilio, or Liuigi Giglio, or Aluise Baldassar Lilio) didn't know about the word ''preleptic'', but it was proclaimed (via a ''papal bull'') that the reformed calendar was as if it was in effect (back) to January 1st, year 1. Note that the reformed calendar (later called the Gregorian calendar) was made effective the 24th of February in 1582 for the Catholic clergy, and it furthermore exhorted Catholic sovereigns to adopt the reformed calendar. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

It is really amazing how much misinformation (that's a code word for bad or incorrect information) concerning the subject of the Gregorian calendar, the various switchovers (adoptions), and the subject of the translations of the two styles of dates ('''O.S.''' vs. '''N.S.'''). One website states that Pope Gregory ''ordered'' ten days to be dropped ... and whatnot. To the Wikepedia's article, it is suprisingly factual and well-formed. Kudos to those Wikipedia authors. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 20:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
