Hi, I have just started a page on Old Twelveth Night, based on my copy of Patricia Morell's book "Festivals and Customs". I would be grateful if any one could expand it. Many thanks, ACEOREVIVED (talk) 22:22, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can determine, a Proclamation has been issued every year Here are the proclamation numbers for the "no proclamation" years cited by the article:
1959 proclamation 3282 1960 proclamation 3343 1966 proclamation 3716 1967 proclamation 3745 1968 proclamation 3845 1969 proclamation 3904 1970 proclamation 3975 1971 proclamation 4036 1972 proclamation 4118 1973 proclamation 4201 1974 proclamation 4277
I do not know why the "Presidency Project" footnote 7 in the article is missing these I found all the proclamations mainly in subirectories of www.gpo.gov, but there is no single search I have found that contains all the info, so I have not corrected the article text. 98.14.207.223 (talk) 18:49, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is now a proposed general Manual of Style for Religion and other articles relating to ethoses or belief systems at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style. Any input would be welcome. I personally believe at least one of the reasons why many articles in this field have been as contentious as they have been is because of lack of such guidelines, and would very much welcome any input from others to help come up with some generally acceptable solutions to some of these problems.

Are these pages suppose to be the official name of the holiday or the common name? We have Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, officially " Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr." and we have Washington's Birthday, which is commonly called President's Day. Why no standard?

There is a talk page discussion about whether controversy in Norway and Sweden about public schools attending Advent/Christmas masses in Church belongs in the article.

User:John Carter/Holidays contains a compiled list from the Worldmark Encyclopedia of Cultures and Daily Life, by Timothy L. Gall, 2009, Gale, ISBN 978-1-4144-4893-0, of the holidays listed in the "Major holidays" sections of all their articles on 200 or so cultures/peoples in total. Do the rest of you think these references to these holidays as "major holidays" is sufficient for us to describe them as such?John Carter (talk) 20:03, 17 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the person who suggested that this be completely rewritten. It's just not very complete or thorough or up to the usual Wikipedia standards. Carol Brown 3 November2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:B180:406:80BD:5DE:A8B7:319B (talk) 01:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hi everybody. On behalf of the teams behind the Wikipedia Primary School research project, I would like to announce that this article was selected a while ago to be reviewed by an external expert. We'd now like to ask interested editors to join our efforts and improve the article before October 31, 2015 (any timezone) as they see fit; a revision will be then sent to the designated expert for review. Any notes and remarks written by the external expert will be made available on this page under a CC-BY-SA license as soon as possible, so that you can read them, discuss them and then decide if and how to use them. Please sign up here to let us know you're collaborating. Thanks a lot for your support! -- Anthere (talk) 17:35, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello everybody! I see some pagan holidays included in the article and was so happy. So here I can tell you about all 8 pagan holidays and you can put them into the list if you want to. Pagans generally start their year at Nov 1, but I'll use the regular way, Jan 1st. Many pagans are polytheist, but I've left the gods out because there are so many. Imbolc - Feb 1st. This day celebrates the promise that spring will come. The lengthening days become noticeable, snowdrops (bulb plantings) emerge, and ewes begin to give milk, in anticipation of lambing soon. Spring Equinox (sometimes called Ostara) - about March 21st. This day celebrates the equal day/night, and marks the turning into the "light half" of the year where daylight hours exceed hours of dark. Beltaine - May 1st. This day celebrates literally "the birds and the bees", but also any act of creation (children generally celebrate through the arts). A sacred union of the sun and the earth ensures a good harvest. Planting takes place in earnest. Summer Solstice (sometimes called Midsummer) - about June 21st. This day celebrates the Triumph of light. The longest day, with the (bittersweet) realization that days will now grow shorter. Lammas - Aug 1st. This day celebrates the first harvest. It is also sometimes called Loaf-mass, and celebrates the start of reaping. The shortening days become noticeable, and preparations for winter's scarcity become important. Autumn Equinox - about Sept 21st. This day celebrates equal day/night as well as the height of harvest. All around is abundance from the earth. It also marks the turning point from the light half to the dark half of the year, hours of dark exceed hours of daylight. Samhain - Oct 31/Nov 1st. This day marks the "pagan new year" as pagans generally mark time as beginning at sunset with Nov 1st the shortening days are very noticeable, and would be "sunset" on an annual scale. Many pagans celebrate ancestors or their dead at this time of year It is the last harvest. Winter Solstice - about Dec 21st. This day celebrates the longest night, the triumph of the dark, but with the (happy) realization that days will now begin to lengthen. Commonly celebrated as the "rebirth of the Sun" Thank-you everybody for the time you took to read this. 2601:185:302:605A:9011:1997:172E:A34C (talk) 13:43, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
