Talk:A Greek version of the Gregorian Calendar

untitled
Hi - I wrote this page about the Greek version of the Gregorian Calendar. I don't have a problem with it being merged into the page called Gregorian calendar, but there's a chance that this calendar is a separate calendar, and that it has a name which I don't know about, so maybe wait a little while and if there's no name say, in a month's time (11 January 2007), then merge it in.

 * That doesn't make sense to me. The two (if they are different at all) are almost exactly the same, and on Wikipedia we regularly cover nearly identical subjects in a single article because they share so much information.  What could be gained by waiting a month, except that you or I forget about this and we have one more abandoned stub article? --Dgies 04:31, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The standard name for this calendar, as used by most Orthodox churches, is the Revised Julian calendar. It was wrong to state, "This rule has not been adopted in Greece or anywhere else in the world." Although Greece adopted the Gregorian calendar as its civil calendar, which does not use this rule, the stated rule was adopted by its national church, the Church of Greece, except for a few Greek Old Calendarists. Indeed, the rule was adopted by most Orthodox churches, the most notable exception being the Russian Orthodox Church, the Orthodox church with the most followers by far. A further complication is that it is difficult to determine which calendar, the Gregorian calendar or the Revised Julian calendar, was actually adopted by the several Orthodox churches due to the imprecise wording of their resolutions. — Joe Kress 02:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
