No Cheese Weasel Day?
ohnoitsjamie, I'm confused. apparently something about adding Cheese Weasel Day to the list of unofficial holidays on the holidays page was viewed as inappropriate. So that I don't err again unintentionally, can you please elucidate the policy that caused you to revert that addition? Cheese Weasel Day is documented on many different sites, has been around since ~1992 and doesn't promote any product or belief (controversial or otherwise) that I can see. We've celebrated it at my place of work for a couple of years now. It seems to clearly fall under the "funny holiday" category mentioned in the header of the "unofficial holidays" section of the holidays entry. I'm baffled.

Thanks,

 * As much as I enjoy cheese AND weasels, all information in Wikipedia must be verifiable via a reliable source. While "Cheese Weasel Day" gets a fair amount of Google hits, I wasn't able to find any sources that meet the "reliable" threshold (i.e., a blog is rarely a reliable source). Regardless, I hope you enjoy your Cheese Weasel Day. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:23, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Kind of sad, but in the words of the witch in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, "it's a fair cop".

Thanks for you reply and consideration,Lareed2


 * No problem. It's not unusual for memes circulating through the blog world to attract media attention; if Cheese Weasel Day gets a few newspaper/magazine articles written about it, feel free to create page for it and re-add it to the holidays page.
