Double Dates? edit

I see some editors are putting double dates in their edits- specifically, the Hijri year calendar. Is this against the Wikipedia rules of standard formatting, or is double dates in isolation (aka, in that specific line but nowhere else) fine?

The prime example I'm referring to is the second map of the Ottoman Empire in the infobox, below which has a description that refers to the Islamic Hijri calendar as well as the standard Western calendar date.

Semi-protected edit request on 12 February 2024 edit

In the Decline and Modernization Area it gives biased information about Abdul Hamid the Second for his so called "cruelty and paranoia". This may be true but at least give reference to who called Abdul Hamid II this. It should say something like the following. "Abdul Hamid II, was also heavily criticized with many names such as "Abdul Hamid the Damned"" etc. Ayan727 (talk) 15:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Here's a source[1] that describes him as incompetent, paranoid and cruel. M.Bitton (talk) 16:46, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done I removed it since a) this article is not about him and b) it doesn't seem to add anything to what's already mentioned about his paranoia. M.Bitton (talk) 16:56, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

name and perspective edit

for me the name would be "osmanic empire" - i can not even find the term osmanic in the article - IMHO it should exist as alternative name in the very top of the article. Additionaly there certainly is some alternative history of an organizational system that endured centuries - the article has a very mainstream / modernistic feel to it.

who is who? edit

Who is the Ottoman Caliph? who is the Sultan? who is the "sadr Azam" (prime minister)? who is the Pasha (Badishah)?

Ottoman government is very unclear on its power structure!
