Why does the page for May 29 say that it is the 152nd day of the year? And similarly May 30 and May 31 are three days too high. May 28 and earlier days are accurately reckoned. So are June 1 and later days.
I read an article about the Council of Contance, and it mentioned that it lasted from the autumn of 1414 till April 1418. So why is it on this page? The Wikipedia article about the council does not say anything about dates (only years). If no one objects, I will remove this entry, as it seems to be wrong. --zeno 22:00, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Removed ref to Stephanie Konemann/Brice Nelson - no notable google links that pop out - needs clarification. Dysprosia 07:33, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
