Double Dates?

I see some editors are putting double dates in their edits- specifically, the Hijri year calendar. Is this against the Wikipedia rules of standard formatting, or is double dates in isolation (aka, in that specific line but nowhere else) fine?

The prime example I'm referring to is the second map of the Ottoman Empire in the infobox, below which has a description that refers to the Islamic Hijri calendar as well as the standard Western calendar date.

History

I was looking over the edit history of this article and noticed a massive cut in byte size in this edit by @Tpbradbury. While the overall cleanup of the article is much appreciated, I wonder if there's been a case of overcorrection? The history section, as my example here, previously featured ~130 sources, and now features exactly 0 inline citations. I think that this section has been reduced too much, and even if others disagree, would still like to see at least some of the sources restored!

Here's the diff of the edit in question. M.Bitton (talk) 16:03, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
yes it was radical, but a step in the right direction as you say. i sometimes add references after, but suddenly got busy at work. i was hoping gnomes would gradually add them back in. the alternative, which i've been doing more recently is to use the excerpt template, as that retains everything including any references, but it sometimes doesn't work if the source article material isn't the right fit. could we use it here?

Before the history section is thrown away, the Ottoman history article should be improved. It is not in good shape. --Guest2625 (talk) 12:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this? The Morrison Man (talk) 17:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"centered in Anatolia"

How wrong can this statement be. Centered in Anatolia like 100 years, not more. It was centered in Balkans. Even during its last 10 years, it wasn't centered in Anatolia as such claimed. Beshogur (talk) 15:32, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have sources that back up your claim? Considering, among other things, the location of the capital, I'm not sure that I agree. During the last 10 years it didn't even control any land in the Balkans. The Morrison Man (talk) 17:36, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I should provide source for a text that has no source? What does centered in Anatolia mean? Geographic? It's redundant in the lead, politically? It's not centered in Anatolia. So during the last 10 years makes it "centered in Anatolia"? Edirne became capital in 1361, 62 years after supposed foundation of the Ottoman Empire (ca. 1299). Another example is Kosovo was conquered in 1389, while Konya was conquered in 1467. It was not centered in Anatolia.
For the second one, why are we taking one person's allegedly (see quote) conflicting thoughts who say like "it's accurate but it's not", and who are the supposed other "historians" the note talking about? Nevertheless, the quote says With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, all previous names were abandoned and Istanbul came to designate the entire city seems like a later addition as well, yet verification (even if it's so) doesn't mean inclusion.
