No personal information?

The addition of relatives is by all means acceptable, but no article in Wikipedia should be just genealogical: the article should provide the reader with personal information about the life of an individual, their acts, opinions, personal significance and so forth, not just a list of names of their relatives and genealogy. Now, the article is not personal at all: it is just an genealogical note, which could be about any one. Are their really nothing personal to be said about her at all? --Aciram (talk) 23:36, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial(?) question about cross-calendar translation

The article page describes the queen's birth and death dates as 5 December 1584 – 3 August 1632, noting that in the Korean lunisolar calendar the dates were 14 November 1584 - 28 June 1632. My "pedantic" issue is that the month names of the Romanised Julian and Gregorian calendars usually do not directly map to the month names of the various lunar and lunisolar calendars of the world. The Julian and Gregorian calendars are purely solar approximations and not aligned to phases of the moon, while different types of lunar and lunisolar calendars across the world begin at many different times of the year depending on the local origin cultures.

Furthermore, Queen Inmok was born little more than 2 years after the Gregorian calendar began to be rolled out across the Catholic-sphere to replace the Julian calendar, it had barely even been considered for adoption across the Protestant-sphere that continued using the Julian calendar for several more decades, and was not even part of the social zeitgeist of the times in the Sunni-sphere, Perso-sphere, Indo-sphere, Sino-sphere, etc. where completely different lunar, luni-solar, and solar calendars were in practice.

Without precise clarification each time, how are we supposed to know without deeper research if the dates in December and August, or November and June, are Gregorian or Julian dates? On the Roman-Julian calendar, June, August, November, and December are the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 10th months of the year, while on the Gregorian calendar they are the 6th, 8th, 11th and 12th months of the year.

Are we supposed to assume that the months of "November" and "June" supposedly on the Korean calendar (which does not have Roman origins) are supposed to be a reference to the 9th and 4th moon of the year or the 11th and 6th moon of the year during that time period when the Romanised world was split between using the Old Style and New Style dates of the Julian and Gregorian calendars?

This issue of borderline mis-naming months in cross-calendar conversion translation actually seems to occur frequently across society in general, perhaps including on Wikipedia, and if a discussion isn't already happening (where?) I'd also suggest that it should perhaps eventually be raised to a discussion about standard dating practices across Wikipedia, especially for heirstorical pages with dates that predate the invention of Wikipedia, the UN's adoption of the Gregorian calendar, WWI, or say the 1800s when most of the entire world had become somewhat aware of each other's existence.
