Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/May 26

To admins: May 26 is the independence day of Georgia and official holiday. The current form is not quite accurate/complete. Please change to: May 26 is the independence day of Georgia. On May 26th of 1918 Georgia declared independence from Russia and Democratic Republic of Georgia was established. BJS


 * BJS, I'm going to take your word and mention Independence Day in Georgia on the template. We currently do not have information in Wikipedia about holidays in Georgia. The other Georgias mess up my Google searches. If you don't mind, please build the page Public holidays in the Republic of Georgia and put it under Category:Public holidays by country. This would be a great help. Many thanks in advance. -- PFHLai 13:33, 2005 May 26 (UTC)

National Sorry Day
Pls add National Sorry Day in Australia. Thanks. Hopefully it won't still be a stub next year. -- 199.71.174.100 20:33, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Oddity
To admins: usualy you have the holiday bold and the country not bold. but with the Georga holiday it is the other way around. --71.255.143.126 11:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The bolded link connects to the page with the relevant context. The Independence Day page is just a list of dates and country names. So, for Independence Days, the country's link is bolded as the country's wikiarticle usually has the better info. Same thing for National Days. -- PFHLai 16:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Julian calendar dates
Pushkin's birthday is May 26 indeed, but according to Julian calendar. After the adoption of Gregorian calendar in Russia in 1918 all the former dates were changed correspondingly. Therefore in modern Russia it is celebrated in June 6. The date actually is stated in both sections, and that surely leads to confusion

What's a mass day?
Article says "Saint Augustine's Mass Day" when it means (presumably) "Saint Augustine's Day mass" (i.e., the mass on St Augustine's Day). 108.39.144.19 (talk) 21:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah I wasn't sure about that either (not being Christian), so I just went with what the article said. — howcheng  {chat} 00:02, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Edit request
It should be specified that the bridge collapse was on I-40, because it's fairly ambiguous unless you click on the link (which not everyone will do).  interstatefive  (talk) - just another roadgeek 16:50, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Copy edit?
Re: * 2002 – Barges being towed destroyed part of a bridge (aftermath pictured) near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, causing vehicles to fall into the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir on the Arkansas River.

While "being towed destroyed" is perfectly correct English, mightn't "Part of a bridge was destroyed (aftermath pictured) by towed barges near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma,..." read a little better? —  AjaxSmack 18:03, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
