Assessment comments

[edit] How is this different from a normal calendar?

How is (e.g.) September 16 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics) different from September 16? Should they be merged? Dunc|☺ 22:01, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

How are they the same? The former lists Orthodox observations, the latter is the secular calendar page which lists historical events and the such. However, I think that in the future something will have to be done more efficiently about this Orthodox Calendar thing, perhaps even just put the info on the regular date pages, and get rid of the separate Orthodox date pages. However, Orthodox commemorations may not be relevant enough to clutter up the secular calendar. Tix 18:36, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the biggest argument I can foresee against having all the commemorations in the 'main' calendar is that folks will say they aren't that important or relevant, and most of them aren't for a general audience. Pascha and the Great Feasts should probably go on the main calendar, assuming it includes major holidays of other religions, but not every single day. Wesley 17:11, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
