My addition of International Men's Day was removed and called "vandalism." I'm confused by this; what are the guidelines for including a holiday on the list? --128.32.183.116 01:00, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- When I clicked on International Men's Day it was in the process of being speedy deleted. Now that tag is not on the page for whatever reason. Seeing as how the page was being deleted, it seemed it was vandalism, so I deleted the entry. If it's a legitimate entry, I apologize and by all means, please put it up again.

[edit] St. Hilda's Day
As the entry for St. Hilda's Day indicates that it's held on either Nov. 17th (Catholic) or 18th (Anglican), I'm removing the reference from this page. Perhaps it should be added to the appropriate days?
[edit] Videogames
I don't see why we shouldn't add on for the Wii release. Anyone got a good reason? --Nintendorules.exe
- Well, there's the fact that we're not the ad agency for Nintendo or any other product looking for recognition for a commercial product launch. --CalendarWatcher 02:07, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Good point. I SWEAR I'M NOT A NINTENDO AD AGENCY. --Nintendorules.exe
- And neither is Wikipedia. --CalendarWatcher 03:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't get it! To a lot of people the Wii release is a big thing! I'm (one of) the guy(s) that added it and it got deleted. I also notice that Nov. 17 says the same thing regarding PS3! These are big things to a lot of people!!
