1. The ingress of the article does currently not link to the calendar article. I suggest adding a link to the calendar article.
2. The article starts with a brief history of the subject. I think the article should start with a short description/definition instead.

The Julian calendar is a solar calendar of 365 days in every year with an additional leap day every fourth year (without exception). The Julian calendar is still used in parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church and in parts of Oriental Orthodoxy as well as by the Berbers. [1]
This calendar, proposed by Roman consul Julius Caesar in 46 BC, was a reform of the earlier Roman calendar. [2] It took effect on 1 January 45 BC, by edict. It was designed with the aid of Greek mathematicians and astronomers such as Sosigenes of Alexandria.

The Berber calendar is an agrarian system, based around the seasons and agricultural work, that was inspired by the Julian calendar.
In Ukraine, the two largest churches ( OCU and UGCC) decided to celebrate Christmas on December 25 according to the new style (Gregorian and Revised Julian calendars), so it is worth removing Ukraine from the list of countries that celebrate religious holidays according to the Julian calendar. 92.253.239.82 ( talk) 13:32, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
'Table of months' needs a capital for months; eg: 'Table of Months' as it is a title.
The table is incorrectly formatted. There is a section under the names of English months for the total number of days, it shouldn't be there. I also think either two separate tables should be made, one for the Roman side and one for the English side, or change the positioning of the English side to be between the Roman number of days and the English number of days. 122.199.2.194 ( talk) 02:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
@ Jbening:, you have just deleted all mention of Sacrobosco from the article. Did you take into account the discussion above or the one in Talk:Julian calendar/Archive 3#Sacrobosco's theory on month lengths? I also considered it undue but stopped short of outright deletion. If otherwise reliable sources are still citing his theory then at least some reference should be made? I won't revert: if anyone else considers it significant, then they should do so – and say that they are writing a section about it at Sacrobosco. -- 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 16:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
