https://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Talk:Date_Conversion
I will point people interesting in the topic to this page in the Wiki.
The core point, made by Hans, is

We picked one specific conversion that seemed to fit best for the Wiki. But
there can be debates about which should be a converted date for any given
Imperial date.

The wiki believed the -2500 anniversary of the founding of the Third Imperium
was in 2019.
