Talk: 1752

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

The process of changing from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in Great Britain meant that 1752 started on March 25, missed 11 days out in September, then ended on December 31. Therefore January 1 1753 was the first time New Year's Day was celebrated on that date in Britain, not January 1 1752. That's why I moved the date. -- Francs2000 09:27, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)

years page layout

I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --(talk)BozMo 16:15, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
