Why are the categories specific to California? This event has been observed at the University of Washington in Seattle at least since 1997, and as I understand it the observance is national, not specific to any state. Am I missing something? - Jmabel | Talk08:15, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Cause I couldnt find refs for other states. since its not every state, it should be categorized by each state its in. its not really national, in the sense that each state participates. I dont even know if any states officially participate. please add states as refs are found.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:47, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you were looking for by way of references, but I've now fleshed out the article considerably. This observance began in Washington state and spread a few months later to Oregon. I believe it only later came to California, so if you don't object I'd really like to get the emphasis on California out of the lede. - Jmabel | Talk06:07, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
