Missing bibliography entries[edit]

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[edit]

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)[reply]
