In reply to Lydia_Pintscher:

I enter "Galileo in search box.

A dropdown appears and I click "Galileo Galilei". The item page for Galileo 
Galilei (Q307) appears.

I scroll down to "date of birth". The box reads:

"date of birth     25 February 1564 Julian"

There is also a link to references in the box, and the word "Julian" is 
superscripted and in italics.

Since Galileo was born before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, I 
would expect to read "date of birth    15 February 1564 Julian"

I would also expect the date of birth stored in the database to be 25 February 
1564, since the database dates are always Gregorian. I would also expect the 
calendarmodel stored in the database to be the URI corresponding to the Julian 
calendar. (According to diff 
https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q307&diff=157576421&oldid=156645911 
my expectation about the storage of the date and calendar model are satisfied.)
