Age in days fix - Julian problem

I have corrected where the { { age in days } } function gives the wrong answer because the calculator assumes the Gregorian calendar and therefore that there is no Feb 29th in a century boundary, when there was one. I have only altered 13th-16th century reigns when the reign passed a non-leap century year. (I have also assumed all HRE dates for 17th century reigns are Gregorian.) The change I made is: I convert the start and end dates to the Gregorian equivalent. This works because for example a 1300s date is 8 days later but a 1400s date is 9 days later. This way, I'm not putting in fake dates to get the number right. Silas Maxfield (talk) 10:50, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

To be clear, I have only changed the parameters for the age in days function, not any of the displayed dates. Silas Maxfield (talk) 10:53, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Elizabeth II, longest-reigning monarch

Wouldn't it be interesting to clarify, even as a footnote, that Elizabeth II's was the longest reign in history in the sense that she reigned effectively throughout her whole reign, whilst Louis XIV ascended the throne when he was merely 5 and therefore reigned under a regency - with no effective powers - until he reached adulthood? I see no mention to that anywhere, and I do think it is important to leave it clear. 85.152.246.66 (talk) 20:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

No, because this page deals with length of reign. This includes where a regency is required. We wouldn't (for example) cut nine years off of the end of George III of the UK's reign. GoodDay (talk) 21:45, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

All right, thanks for your quick answer. I wasn't suggesting cutting any years off of Louis XIV's reign, but thought it'd be interesting to specify in a footnote either that a) during the first part of his reign he was a minor and a regent ruled in his stead, or b) Elizabeth II had the longest effective reign in history, since not only did she wear the Crown but she exerted her royal functions from the beginning of her reign until its very end. 85.152.246.66 (talk) 21:58, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

So far, the criteria for this page, is just to list the reign's length :) GoodDay (talk) 22:01, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

If you have a reliable source for the info, it could go in a footnote. --₪ MIESIANIACAL 22:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Of course, thank you! There you go: https://www.tatler.com/article/why-the-queen-is-technically-the-worlds-longest-reigning-monarch - "the Queen is unquestionably the longest actively reigning monarch in the world".

https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09371a.htm "Louis XIV was declared to have reached the age of majority on 7 September 1651. On the death of Mazarin, in March 1661, Louis assumed personal control of the reins of government".

Do these count as reliable sources? Thanks. 85.152.246.66 (talk) 10:06, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
