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.)
