Azerbaijani Wikipedia article on Uzeyir Hajibeyov; used for entity facts only. The richest of the articles on him. It quotes his metrical (birth) certificate, issued by the Transcaucasian Muslim Spiritual Administration of the Shia madhhab, recording the birth as 7 Dhu al-Hijja 1302 (5 September 1885 Old Style, 17 September New Style), and notes that the Great Soviet Encyclopedia gives 17 September, while its own lead prints 18 September.
