Talk:International Workers' Day/Archives/2016

May Day
Is it worth tweaking the intro or using a bit of boldification to reflect that May Day are a bit more synonymous than the intro currently presents? Certainly in Britain the left typically refers to it not as International Workers' Day, but simply/primarily as May Day. MikeJamesShaw (talk) 14:54, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Cut down the article
Per my comments here Talk:Labour Day/Archives/2013 I think parts of this article need to be removed. In particular, it should only briefly discuss the official Labour Day holiday in NZ and Australia or any country where Labour Day is not on May 1st. Instead, it should discuss any celebrations etc of IWD in these countries. The US seems to be a decent example of what it should be like for once. Remember that IWD generally refers only to the 1st May. This includes in NZ as AFAIK. Nil Einne (talk) 15:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Armenia
I don't know who made the map, but Armenia does celebrate it. Will have to look at some sources to prove this. --92slim (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
