Double Dates?

[edit]

I see some editors are putting double dates in their edits- specifically, the Hijri year calendar. Is this against the Wikipedia rules of standard formatting, or is double dates in isolation (aka, in that specific line but nowhere else) fine?

The prime example I'm referring to is the second map of the Ottoman Empire in the infobox, below which has a description that refers to the Islamic Hijri calendar as well as the standard Western calendar date.

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. I appreciate your good faith. Just wrong format.(3OpenEyes's talk page. Say hi!) | (PS: Have a good day) 21:18, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The lead

[edit]

There is excessive detail in some parts, while important events such as Persecution of Muslims during the Ottoman contraction are completely omitted. I'll be making some changes over the next days or weeks. Bogazicili (talk) 23:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you're thinking of removing mention of the genocides, I can already tell you that's not going to fly. Khirurg (talk) 18:31, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The lead is now 507 words, down from 575. Bogazicili (talk) 13:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Predecessor states and successor states

[edit]

Thoughts in removing this? It's a mess and 90% of those aren't really predecessor or successor. Beshogur (talk) 18:56, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
