Which calendar?

[edit]

In 1900, Greece had not yet converted its calendar to the Gregorian (NS), and was still using the Julian (OS), which at that time was 13 days behind. So the 17 December date for Katina Paxinou is either:

  • the actual OS date as recorded in her birth certificate, which would translate to 30 December in NS, or
  • it has already been converted to NS and the date recorded in her birth papers was 4 December.

Does anybody know either way? JackofOz 09:17, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Anybody? 6 years is a long time to wait for even a "No" response. Thank you. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 11:46, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I note the Greek WP article has her being born on 15 December 1900, but still with no indication of which calendar this was from. -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 11:48, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't verify that the museum was notable. There is no Greek WP article that we can expand from and this has been tagged for notability for over 7 years, plus on User:Boleyn/List of museum articles tagged for notability with no one establishing its notability. I think the alternative to deletion is to give it its own section in this article. Sending WP:APPNOTE to creator Dr. Blofeld and Carlossuarez46 who first tagged it for notability.

No objection in two weeks - merging. Boleyn (talk) 18:41, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Crappy sources

[edit]

Please be advised that ancestry.com is explicitly WP:USERG. I changed the statement supported by that source about her DOB as it conflicted with the seemingly WP:RS biography that supported her death and birth date. Toddst1 (talk) 18:14, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
