message: First paragraph: "... and was based systemically on the Babylonian calendar" is wrong. If any, its basis was Egypt's 12 x 30-days-calendar. Needs correction.

replies: text: Regardless of whether it was correct or not, it was irrelevant to the subject at hand, and is now gone. Likewise the personal essay on intercalation by 90.184.12.226; this was either off-topic (i.e. belonged at intercalation, which is linked from the article), or already discussed. -- Fullstop (talk) 18:27, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: First paragraph

message: Intercalations did not always follow a regular pattern, but during the reign of Artaxerxes II (circa 380 BC) astronomers utilized a 19-year cycle which required the addition of a month called Addaru II month in years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 and 19, and the month Ululu II in year 17 of the cycle.
Does anyone have access to the cited source?  Because that sounds to me like someone's confusing a lunar calendar with this one.  That cycle, adding months in seven of nineteen years, works well for lunisolar calendars, but would add way too many months for a calendar in which the months are all 30 days, which would require months being added every five or six years.  In fact, following that cycle with 30 day months would make it *less* accurate than not adding months at all, averaging just over 371 days per year XinaNicole (talk) 23:23, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

message: There seems to be an error in the epoch of the Zoroastrian Religious era, given as "the northern vernal equinox of 1737 BCE". This is most probably a misunderstanding of the "astronomical year -1737", which is equal to 1738 BCE (and not "1737 BCE"). The example given, "Hence the year 3738 ZRE began in 2000 CE." is in correspondence with an epochal date of 6 April 1738 BCE (proleptic Julian) [= 22 March 1738 BCE (proleptic Gregorian) = 1 Farvardin 2359 BPE], but not at all with an epochal date of "5 April 1737 BCE". /Erik Ljungstrand (Sweden)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.241.158.201 (talk) 13:55, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
