Talk:Burmese calendar

Missing bibliography entries

The article was recently translated to Polish, and the references and notes are converted to local links with help of (our variant) {{sfn}}. Unfortunately there are two items which do not work: reference no 3. "Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 216" and note no 4., which consists of "(Eade 1996: 17)". The reason is that both items have no corresponding entries i section Bibliography. I am no able to fix it and help of more competent person is needed. Regards.

Accuracy Section

I see the accuracy section has a table showing the number of days in 19 years and in 235 lunations according to an older and newer version of the calendar. It shows a minuscule reduction in the error of the Metonic cycle. The article then states that this made the moon less accurate, but when I check the mean lunation, by divising by 235. If find it has made the mean lunation significantly more accurate by changing it from 29.530583 days to 29.530587946 days.

I conclude from the figures that the main purpose of the reform was to make the mean lunation more accurate. This just happened to make difference between 19 years and 235 lunations about 89 seconds less. This just means that the Metonic cycle will need correcting a little less often. A bigger effect of the change is that it makes the mean year longer and less accurate to both sidereal and tropical years. I think mean year rather than mean lunation was meant and will modify section on that assumption. Karl (talk) 09:48, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Request to change name

Request to change Burmese calendar to Myanmar calendar, if the name Burmese calendar continues to be used, it is completely unfair. I would like you to be kind to the Mon people who were the first to use this calendar. but writing on the wiki that everything belongs to the Burmese people is just a form of insulting and attacking the ethnic groups that first lived in Burma. since there are so many literati on the wiki, I don't believe that they don't know the true history at all. I am deeply hurt by the fact that some pages on Wikipedia and Wiktionary are written as belonging to Burmese people. The Burmese people become property only after they won the war. are the experts on the wiki really ignorant of this issue or are they pretending to be? as scholars on the wiki, do no longer have compassion for the ethnic groups who have lost their homes and lost their homes as humanitarians? if the experts on wiki want to study how we have been feeling for many years, we invite to come and study the area where we live. (Practical evidence: In order to work on the Mon language, I had to leave my motherland and move to another country, but if I don't do this, I myself may be imprisoned or killed by various accusations by the Burmese government) thanks.^{«Intobesa (talk)»} 05:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
