Modern style guides recommend avoiding the use of the ordinal (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th) form of numbers when the day follows the month (July 4 or July 4, 2024), [5] [6] and that format is not included in ISO standards. [7] The ordinal was common in the past and is still sometimes used ([the] 4th [of] July or July 4th).
The Gregorian calendar did not exist before October 15, 1582. Gregorian dates before that are proleptic, that is, using the Gregorian rules to reckon backward from October 15, 1582. Years are given in astronomical year numbering. Augustus corrected errors in the observance of leap years by omitting leap days until AD 8.
This can be negative and also can be in the format "n BC" to display BC dates or "AD n" as an alternative to a positive number. If not specified, the current year is used. footnotes Any footnotes to be placed at the bottom of the sidebar. gregcal Name of an article to be displayed for Gregorian and Julian years (e.g. "2000 BC").
Short format: dd/mm/yyyy (Day first, month number and year in left-to-right writing direction) in Afar, French and Somali ("d/m/yy" is a common alternative). Gregorian dates follow the same rules but tend to be written in the yyyy/m/d format (Day first, month number, and year in right-to-left writing direction) in Arabic language.
A calendar era is the period of time elapsed since one epoch of a calendar and, if it exists, before the next one. [1] For example, the current year is numbered 2025 in the Gregorian calendar, which numbers its years in the Western Christian era (the Coptic Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox churches have their own Christian eras).
The Gregorian calendar was implemented in Russia on 14 February 1918 by dropping the Julian dates of 1–13 February 1918, [h] pursuant to a Sovnarkom decree signed 24 January 1918 (Julian) by Vladimir Lenin. The decree required that the Julian date was to be written in parentheses after the Gregorian date, until 1 July 1918. [19]
The golden number of any Julian or Gregorian calendar year can be calculated by dividing the year by 19, taking the remainder, and adding 1. (In mathematics this can be expressed as (year number modulo 19) + 1.) For example, 2025 divided by 19 gives 106, remainder 11. Adding 1 to the remainder gives a golden number of 12.
For Gregorian dates after 2299, the year in the table which differs by an exact multiple of 400 years should be used. The values "r0" through "r6" indicate the remainder when the Hundreds value is divided by 7 (Julian) or 4 (Gregorian), indicating how the series extend in either direction. Both Julian and Gregorian values are shown for years ...
