The terms "strict" and "general" can be pretty vague when you put some thought to it ("general" is not used by
Historians and most scientist and governmental agencies) and "strict" seems a bit biased to me, implying the other approaches are not "strict" and should be further discussed. "Conservative"
520:
I also oppose the edit because most people would consider centuries to be the same, give or take several days, regardless of whether one is using the
Gregorian or Julian calendar. (There is also the complication that the Gregorian calendar used Dionysius's year numbering from its inception, while the
800:
For clarity in the "Strict vs
Popular" table, could the negative years be extended to include at least one example century like "|102 BC|101 BC|100 BC|99 BC| ... |2 BC|1 BC|" with the appropriate Century Divisions represented also? And does this imply that two years are missing from this convention
703:
Strictly speaking, centuries run from 01 to 100, meaning that the new century begins on the first day of the year 01 (i.e. 1 January 1901, 1 January 2001, etc.). In practice and in popular perception, however, the new century is held to begin when the significant digits in the date change, e.g. on 1

did. But because
Dionysius mostly wrote about his Easter table, and only described the year numbering in passing, we don't know if he thought the incarnation occurred in what we might call 2 BC, 1 BC or AD 1. Also, Dionysius never wrote down any designation for 2 BC or 1 BC, so we don't know how he
461:
I've twice had an edit making this clear reverted, once without explanation, and once by someone saying they thought it was sufficiently clear. Edit warring is bad. I'd like consensus for the following edit, the proposed addition being in bold:
555:
No, the sentence isn't referring to the
Gregorian calendar, because the first post in this thread does not establish context. I we collapse this thread and you start over, specifying exactly where in the article you want your change to go.
783:
That's because the "popular" way counts centuries as starting from years ending in a zero, but a "Year Zero" does not exist in the A.D. year-numbering system. There are similar anomalies with "popular" decades and "popular" millennia.
247:
570:
Why is this so difficult? The section is called "Start and end in the
Gregorian calendar" and the sentence I'm referring to in that section currently begins "According to the strict construction of the Gregorian calendar..."
506:
Very often, years are written without any words or abbreviation designating the notation system, such as "AD", "CE", "in the year of our Lord", etc. Such years might be using astronomical year numbering or ISO

Julian calendar has used a wide variety of systems for naming years. For example, in Rome, what we would call the year of our Lord 1 was called the year of the consulship of Caesar and
Paullus.
727:"Conservative" has a lot of subjective connotations, none of which are helpful here; we shouldn't use it, no more than we'd use "liberal" for the opposite. Using "Strict" is okay by me. --

I could see "conservative", because some of those who adhere to what we've been calling the "strict" view are the sorts of people or institutions that we might call conservative, such as

619:
Quite simple: Lots pf people are unable to distinguish between a period/span of time (years, minutes seconds, ...) and a point in the time scala. Simply remember the temperature scale.
905:
768:
The picture showing the strict versus the popular way of looking at centuries, shows the popular 1st century, i.e. the first 100 years, as consisting of the years 1 - 99.
194:
920:
638:
687:
But I don't associate the term "conventional" at all with what we have been calling the general view. To me, "conventional" is nearly a synonym for "conservative".

503:"Lots of people struggle to understand that centuries end in years ending 00 because there was no year 0" because it's not true. Here are some reason's why:
