===Seasonal publication dates and differing calendar systems===<!--This heading is linked to from WP:Manual_of_Style#Seasons and may also be from WP:Manual_of_Style#Titles.-->
Publication dates, for both older and recent sources, should be written with the goal of helping the reader find the publication and, once found, confirm that the correct publication has been located. For example, if the publication date bears a date in the Julian calendar, it should not be converted to the Gregorian calendar.

If the publication date was given as a season or holiday, such as "Winter" or "Christmas" of a particular year or two-year span, it should not be converted to a month or date, such as {{!xt|July–August}} or {{!xt|December 25}}. If a publication provided both seasonal and specific dates, prefer the specific one.
