Julian calendar date

I think that the date in the information template should be 15 January 1905, as the specified date is in the Julian calendar. I didn't changed it, because I wasn't sure what should I do to avoid adding confusing to Russians or other people aware that they didn't had yet switched to the Gregorian calendar.

Actually, after checking the facts in a source in Russian that specified both, it really was on the 20th of Decembre 1904, so the date was right except that it should have been clearer that it was in the Gregorian calendar. Notice that both China and Russia still used the Julian calendar, but Japan had already switched to it since 1871 (except that it kept using the Emperor era for the year).
