[edit] Here's a question...
Are the incorrect parts offensive, or just incorrect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.204.160 (talk) 02:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Query about definition
The main article says "all future dates are estimates and depend on sightings of the new moon"
However, this Saudi site suggests that this was changed in 1999, and then modified again in 2003, to a truly astronomical definition that doesn't depend on visibility any more:
Islamic Crescents Observation Project
I'm not an expert, so I don't want to edit the page in case the website I've linked to is wrong. Anyone know the definitive answer?
