[edit] Easter on a fixed date
"The Symmetry454 Calendar meets all of the WCC criteria." according to the article. What's missing is how these criteria are met. Specifically, what is the date of Easter in this calendar & how is this choice justified? Okay I've fixed it. Jimp 7Sep05
[edit] Easter on a Fixed Date
You state:
"The World Council of Churches (WCC) Easter web page indicates that the WCC is interested in:
-a perpetual calendar that preserves the traditional 7-day sabbatical cycle
-the calendar must not employ any "null" days that are outside of the normal 7-day week
-the calendar may have a fixed date for Easter, but it must be permanently on a true Sunday and the choice of date must be justifiable
-ideally the calendar should permanently maintain alignment with the solar cycle ..."
Please share the specific non-Wikipedia web page address(es) that you are using to document these statements.

The Journal of Calendar Reform between 1934 and 1954 documents endorsement of The World Calendar by numerous religious organizations. Restrictions on that support, as they have appeared (above) on the Symmetry454 page, therefore need non-Wikipedia sources to verify accuracy and NPOV. --TWCAdirector 17:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion?
Somebody marked this page for deletion, claiming that it was original research, unverified, and unsourced.
It clearly is not original research, this calendar has been extensively validated and the cited sources document that work. This page is just a very brief summary of the full documentation and that is freely available at the cited web sites. Most of the information presented here has been entered by other users, I only made necessary correction.
I can only assume that the person who marked this page for deletion did so belligerently, as an act of vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalendis (talk • contribs) 17:24, 26 November 2006 (UTC).
- None of the cited sources are independent. One is the personal webpage of the calendar creator. Please specify which of the sources are verifiable, per Wikipedia standards. This is a good faith nomination, as are the others on similar calendars which are in the AfD process right now. —C.Fred (talk) 17:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Original Research
I've added the {{OriginalResearch}} template to the article over the following concern: there are no verifiable sources in the article. There is the initial proposal for the article, but self-publication is not verifiable, and the nature of the calendar proposal leaves it close to things made up in school one day. The calculator program mentioned in the external links is just a program doing calculations based on the calendar.
Has this calendar gotten any coverage? Science? Discovery.com? I'd even take an article in whatever the successor to Omni is as sufficient independent publicity of the proposal. —C.Fred (talk) 23:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
