Death date: why both calendars shown?

Why are we showing it in both OS and NS versions? He died in Germany, which had long been using the Gregorian calendar, so to show the Julian counterpart just confuses things. Sure, he was a Russian, and Russia was still using the Julian calendar in 1852, but Russians visiting or living in the West had to abide by local calendric customs. What they were doing back in Russia was irrelevant. He died in Baden-Baden on 24 April 1852, end of story. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 13:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
