Is the date correct?
editThe article states that this battle was on 20 September 1703, and other dates are quoted relative to this. However, both my sources (Eggenberger, 1985, and Perrett, 1992) state that the battle took place on the 30th September. I'm sure this is due to different calendars - the 20th in the Julian and the 30th in the Gregorian. If this is the case, we should say so. I vote that we use the current (Gregorian) calendar throughout, with a footnote on the Julian calendar that would appear in contemporary sources. But that decision is way above my pay grade! --Wally Tharg (talk) 20:03, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- No, on second thoughts I'll just do it. (I've borrowed the reference from the Blenheim article.) I'd be grateful if someone could check the other dates in the text. --Wally Tharg (talk) 20:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
