Birth and death dates[edit]
The birth and death dates that were imported from English Wikipedia were imported incorrectly. The birth date stated in English Wikipedia, 22 January 1561, was necessarily in the Julian calendar because the Gregorian calendar did not enter into force until 1583, and even then, only in Catholic countries. The English Wikipedia uses the Julian calendar for countries where that calendar was in force, and in Bacon's country, England, it was in force until 1752.
Wikidata, on the other hand, always use the Gregorian calendar or proleptic Gregorian calendar, so Julian calendar dates must be converted to Gregorian. Thus 22 January 1561 must be converted to 1 February 1561 and 9 April 1626 must be converted to 19 April 1626. Jc3s5h (talk) 23:32, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
