[edit] The Comparison to halloween

This comment was put at the bottom of the main article:

halloween is not comparable to the chinese lantern festival. thank you. candy? lanterns? eh? I don't know how valid the objection is, but thought I'd bung it here as it suited this page more than the main article!

[edit] Dates

Any chance we could have a list of dates for recent/upcoming years? --Spudtater 14:35, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

The dates are on a lunar calendar - which cycles every 12 years. But I will try to post later. Phreakster 1998 01:54, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Content Change Jan 21st

The Jan 21st revision completely changes the text of the body article without citing any sources. The new text also seems to be identical to the article from http://www.chinavoc.com/festivals/lantern.htm. L4ck 0f 54n17y (talk) 04:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
