[edit] This ought to be changed to all jokes

It seems kind of boring to have the actual facts printed on April Fool's day. --Nintendorulez [[User talk:Nintendorulez|talk]] 01:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Just because it's April Fools day doesn't mean the real events that occured on this date have to be ignored. But if the mainpage is going to be a big April Fool's Joke that day, then I don't think it'd be innapropriate to change the references accordingly. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 22:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
If anything, we should have unusual anniversaries on this page. -- user:zanimum
Yes, perhaps, but please keep the April Fool's Day reference. It's the only explanation people from some cultures will have of why their most useful reference source has gone crazy for a day. BigBlueFish 20:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I am going to add a few entries from Wikipedia:April Fool's Main Page. All but the last are April Fool's jokes that these organisations played on the public, so therefore I am not putting false information into the Main Page. These entries are as follows:

[edit] Iran

Good day all. Stuffed into the code of this page is an entry that states that a very important date in Iran's history occurred on April Fools day 1974. I can't find any reference to anything like that when I looked around, except for one mention on a "brainy encyclopedia" site that doesn't really count because all the site does is rip text off Wikipedia. Since I can't apparently edit the inaccurate thing out of the page itself, could someone who CAN edit it do so? The "anniversary" has plopped itself onto Iran's talk page...

The entry you're referring to is currently commented out, which means that it does not appear. There's also a comment next to it that the date of the event could not be found or verified yet; that's why it was commented out. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 23:30, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assyrian New Year

I was wondering if we could add Assyrian new year to the list? Chaldean 16:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Be bold! (Although in this case, I would probably link to Akitu, which is where the main article on the holiday seems to be, and add a few references in beforehand to ensure that we have the correct date.) Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 01:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
How can I be bold when I dont have access to be edit :D Chaldean 03:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't even notice that; for future reference, you may wish to use {{editprotected}} to request editing of a protected page or for a quick response - I only happened to have this page on my watchlist and came across your request. In any case, the page is now unprotected. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 00:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
