George Washinton's Birth Year (O.S. vs. N.S.)

[edit]

When the calendar's were changed it was by 11 days not 376 days. It states that he was born in 1731 Old Style and 1732 New Style. There seems to be no debate that he was born on February 22 1732 New Style which means he was born on February 11 1732 Old Style, not 1731. 174.210.160.209 (talk) 03:54, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the footnote directly after the date. Remsense ‥  04:20, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And also consider reading the recurring themes linkage stated above in the talk page headers:
How to render Washington's birth year has been previously discussed on this talk page, as seen in the Talk page Archives including Talk:George Washington/Archive 1#Birth date, Talk:George Washington/Archive 6#George Washington's birthday, Talk:George Washington/Archive 6#Founding Fathers' birthdates, Talk:George Washington/Archive 9#GW's birthday & calendar switch issue, Talk:George Washington/Archive 7#Birthdate, and Talk:George Washington/Archive 10#Dates for George Washington's birth. Editorial consensus is that he was born in "1731/Old Style" and in "1732/New Style" - this rendering is supported by reliable sources.

According to an Old Style to New Style Converter, 02/11/1731 O.S. is equivalent to 22/02/1732 N.S. Your proposed 02/11/1732 converts to 22/02/1733. Is the converter wrong? Or do I misunderstand the topic at hand? 1101 (talk) 06:01, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Again, read the footnote directly following the date. Remsense ‥  06:18, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
