[edit] Sources?

This doesn't seem to have any sources. The only reference I can find to Lasagna Awareness Month, for instance, is that emu farmers were commemorating it -- but it sounds like they stumbled upon it the way everyone else did, i.e. the internerds. Is there an association or body who developed or officially endorses this day?

[edit] Requested move

List of commemorative days → List of commemorative days and months celebrated in North America — New title describes the nature of the article much better. DeLarge 11:18, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move

  1. Support; but under a different name Sorry about that DeLarge; I didn't notice those. The page does need to be changed to reflect the presence of the months, which are all US-related.

[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move

  1. Oppose, strongly. The presence in the article of Australia Day, ANZAC Day, Armistice Day, Chinese New Year, European Day of Languages, German Unity Day, Hangul Day, Queen's Birthday, etc etc show that it is not exclusively devoted to North American holidays. --DeLarge 11:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments:

Should this not be merged and winnowed with Holiday? I.e., Holiday talks about holidays/commemorations in general, and this article is the list linking to the individual articles. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 05:05, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved.--Stemonitis 08:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date order?

Would it not make more sense to have the list of commemorative days in date order also?? Or maybe in a chart so that you can put them in whichever order you would like them? I was looking through for days around the middle of april and it took a while!! Comments? Timclare (talk) (sign here) 12:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
