Jimmy Carter turns 100

When/if Jimmy Carter turns 100 on October 1st I believe that would be considered notable enough to have listed on the events section as no other United States President has lived to be 100 years of age. It is also expected to be a widely reported story considering how significant the milestone is TheFellaVB (talk) 02:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

What is the correct date of Sultan Ahmed III. deposition?

In the article about Ahmed III. you state he was deposed on September 20th 1730. Here in the list of events for October 1st you apparently claim he was deposed on this day. What is the correct date then? Are you still confused by the Julian calendar? Will you finaly decide to state the dates in the calendar we use today - Gregorian? 🤦‍♂️ BTW - Ottoman Empire never used neither Julian nor Gregorian, but Hijri calendar! What now - will you be triple confused? 2A02:AB04:37B9:B400:251E:50AB:6FA:65E3 (talk) 06:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
