Wiki Education assignment: Communication and Culture[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 2 February 2021 and 14 May 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Jmacfinn015 (article contribs).

Recent sock-puppetry by Dante8[edit]

There has been mass edits made to this article by RoseForEmilyGrierson, 100.11.62.250 and LMivak since 20 March 2023 including copyvio concerns. You can find Dante8's current SPI here [1] and their copyvio investigations [2]. Per WP:EVADE its possible that their edits could be removed. Psychologist Guy (talk) 22:23, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1917 soviet union[edit]

Hello, this sentence is a little odd: „ In 1917, Bolsheviks Alexandra Kollontai and Vladimir Lenin made IWD an official holiday in the Soviet Union.“ As Sovie Union was created only in 1922. Ziko (talk) 10:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are in conflict. Some say 1917; some say 2022.[3][4] I have just said after the Russian Revolution.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:54, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably it wasn’t a holiday till 1965 when it became a non-working day. Jack Upland (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening Sentence - Global Holiday[edit]

This is statement is factually incorrect:-

"International Women's Day (IWD) is a global holiday..."

It is NOT a global holiday. It is a normal working day in many countries. 185.239.100.14 (talk) 08:38, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A holiday is global if it's celebrated globally. A holiday is not necessarily a day off of work. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:30, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The word "holiday" does not always refer to a "public holiday". Even a mere observance is counted as a holiday in many places. GeographicAccountant (talk) 17:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I took out global because we already say it's "international".--Jack Upland (talk) 23:08, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Triangle Shirtwaist again[edit]

I have taken this out of the "Origins" section where it was jammed into the narrative about the Copenhagen conference:

However, what made history for the modern celebration of International Women's Day, according to the ILO, was the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist factory in New York City on March 25, 1911, which killed 146 young workers, most of whom were immigrants.[1]

Even though it is published by the ILO, this is an unreliable source. It propagates the myth of the 1875 strike, already mentioned in our article. We have discussed this fire before and there is no connection with IWD. The fire postdates the Copenhagen conference. It is not mentioned in any of our well-researched sources on the origins of IWD. Unfortunately it has been part of this article for a year.Jack Upland (talk) 23:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Theme for 2024 is wrong[edit]

The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. See https://www.internationalwomensday.com/Theme RosyRenfrew (talk) 14:54, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is internationalwomensday.com's theme. However, unwomen.org's theme is Invest in women: Accelerate progress. See www.unwomen.org/en/news-stories/announcement/2023/12/international-womens-day-2024-invest-in-women-accelerate-progress Peaceray (talk) 17:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
