All references to Santa Claus should make it clear that he does not exist, as it was discussed on Talk:Santa Claus that Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED. When kids come to Wikipedia, they need to learn the truth and straight-up facts. Wikipedia is not censored to protect anyone's feelings. Félix An (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I'm older than Wikipedia and I believe. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:18, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Please note that Christmas ham, which is within this project's scope, has been selected as one of the Articles for improvement. The article is scheduled to appear on Wikipedia's Community portal in the "Articles for improvement" section for one week, beginning today. Everyone is encouraged to collaborate to improve the article. Thanks, and happy editing! Delivered by — MusikBot talk 00:05, 28 June 2021 (UTC) on behalf of the AFI team[reply]

The article Public holidays in Yugoslavia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:V and WP:GNG There are no references, my search for references did not find any WP:RS. The two other language articles have similar content and no reference.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, I am writing about the List of Christmas Carols article which requires immediate attention. The article has since gone into disrepair and I and others have been trying to bring it back to the status others had achieved, however, there is one particular editor who has continually reverted any edits made and who is currently serving out a block due to this type of behaviour on another article and who insists popular Christmas songs such as The Christmas Song, Silver Bells and others are Christmas Carols (A better understanding will be got by observing the talk page in recent years), which contradicts the consensus many editors reached some years ago on the defining of which type of songs would be present on the list. I would be grateful if all could collaborate and return the article to its pristine state that others had achieved in the past. Also, I would be grateful if everyone could give the articles Christmas carol and Carol a look over too. I would like to see the articles achieve Wikipedia:Featured articles status in advance of the holiday. Thank you 37.18.134.184 (talk) 16:37, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
