Talk:December 23

Leap years
9 days remaining, 10 in leap years?

Does this make sense to someone who can explain it, or is it just wrong? GTBacchus 10:00 Jan 8, 2003 (UTC)

Tip's/Tibb's Eve
I'm from newfoundland and I was told as a child that the day before Christmas Eve was called Tip's Eve (or possibly Tibb's Eve, I was never able to fully acquire and decode the Newfie accent). Is this known of or was it just a thing in my small community? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Offput (talk • contribs) 03:18, 24 December 2006 (UTC).

Festivus
Is there any reason to remove "fictional" from this "holiday" and using the silly tagline that is associated with it? It is as notable as "Steak & BJ Day".  -- Borameer TM  15:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Holidays and observations is not for parodic or fictional events. I removed Festivus and it was restored.  Please explain here how Festivus meets the criteria for inclusion.  --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 15:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Festivus meets the criteria for inclusion. Per WP:DOY, "Holidays and observances, if notable enough for inclusion, should be the subject of a Wikipedia article (or in the case of religious feasts, mentioned in a linked article). These entries should also be limited to those events that occur on the same date annually and to observances that are currently celebrated (not the date it was once celebrated or will be celebrated)."  Festivus is the subject of a very well-written and sourced Wikipedia article and is always observed on December 23.  Frank Anchor Talk 16:46, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

If it is a parody, as the Wiki article says, how is it "observed"? It's a joke. That's sort of what parody means. Richardson mcphillips (talk) 13:39, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Slovenia election values
In [the article|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990_Slovenian_independence_referendum] about Slovenian independence election the result says 95.71% votes "yes", in the list says 88.5% Barrabas11 (talk) 18:25, 23 December 2022 (UTC)


 * You should probably ask this on the article's talk page, but as I understand it, 88.5% refers to the proportion of eligible voters, whereas 95.71% refers to the proportion of actual voters. Kiwipete (talk) 01:47, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
