In recent decades, Remembrance Day has been largely eclipsed .. by ANZAC Day[edit]
Ha. In the 1970s and prior ANZAC day in Victoria was a public holiday equaled only by Christmas day. The day on which everything was shut, and no kind of business was appropriate. Even stuff that was open on Sundays (libraries, sports, milkbars) was closed. !! November was a minutes silence: ANZAC day was 24 hours, starting with the private dawn ceremony for ex-members, followed by wreath laying, then drinking and illegal gambling (not restricted for service clubs on the One Day of the Year). 1.159.58.220 (talk) 05:07, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Semi-protected edit request on 15 March 2023[edit]
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered=or|ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
The lead presently says "Remembrance Day ... is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War in 1919 ...".
This seems ambiguous to me: does it mean "Remembrance Day ... is a memorial day observed since ... 1919 ..." or does it mean to imply that that the First World ended in 1919?
There is also the question of what is considered to be the end date of that War. (By the way, I am not the same person who made the "Semi-protected edit request on 11 October 2023" about the end date.) The various dates are spoken of in relation to the end of that War are more fully covered in the World War I article, especially in World_War_I#Formal_end_of_the_war, and I think it unnecessary to try to decide on one single date.
I have removed "in 2019" from the ambiguous sentence because it is unnecessary (dates relating to the end of the War are given later in the same paragraph), and to remove the ambiguity.
Also: in "Hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour ..." I have removed "formally". See: Armistice of 11 November 1918.
And: in the sentence "The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919" I have changed "officially" to "formally" (which then matches World_War_I#Formal_end_of_the_war).

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. There was the stopping of hostilities in 1918 but the war did not officially end until Treaty of Versailles in 1919. RudolfRed (talk) 18:19, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
