 * Symbol question.svg Age, length OK. Foreign language hook refs AGF. A few issues: 1) Why are you not giving credit to Dr. Blofeld, who created the article and did some editing on it? 2) I think the hook would be punchier if you ended it after "1946." 3) There's no reference in the article for the festival always starting on 1 May.

 * Thank you, I gave credit to Dr. Blofeld now. I don't mind sharing even if I expanded 5*. I added refs for the start, but if you prefer let's end it before. 1 May was supposed to hint at the labour union which supports "half" of the festival which I think is unusual. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:33, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Good to go. Regarding the credit, I was just looking at the date, which was within 5 days of your nomination. Indeed, you expanded it 5x :). Yoninah (talk) 17:14, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about me, Gerda did all the work on this,♦ Dr. Blofeld
