[edit] X Day and Phoenix Festival
These do not appear to be actual Burning Man events. X Day is celebrated by many non-Burners. Kit 20:36, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- I removed X-Day from the list -- Subgenius != Burner. However, Phoenix Fest does appear to be a real Burn event -- it's just that the Wikipedia article is about a different, non-Burner event in the UK. I disambiguated the link a little. Kit 21:10, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
Twigsville is not a public event.
Note from user:
The term "Burn" is a registered trademark of the Burning Man Corporation, and/or it's affiliates. The use of this term to describe events not sponsored and specifically meeting their requirements is a violation of their rights.

The term "Burn" is not actually one of Burning Man's trademarks. Black Rock City LLC owns the trademarks "Burning Man", "Black Rock City", and "Decompression". However, it is concerning that there are events on this page that are being listed as "Burning Man" events despite a complete lack of affiliation with the organization or even any way to verify any kind of connection to the greater Burning Man community. There are explicitly stated principles of Burning Man that are represented at its official events that cannot be said necessarily to exist at these unaffiliated events, so this page may be misleading. It would be more accurate to call the official regional events "Burning Man events" and to list another page of events that are perhaps "Burning Man inspired" or at least separate out the events that are not officially affiliated to a second list on the page and/or clearly designate unofficial events as such, because only an authorized event with a relationship with an official Burning Man Regional Contact may call itself a Burning Man event. - Andie Grace, Burning Man Communications Manager 98.210.196.118 (talk) 23:33, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
