[edit] Independence Day

Why isn't the official national holiday of Belarus mentioned? Cmapm 19:30, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I didn't know, and I have been away. Is it really Independence Day ? Public holidays in Belarus says so. Not July 27 nor August 25 ? Hmmm.... Anyway, it's on the template now, good for 2007. Would National Day be more appropriate ? --PFHLai 04:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
"Independence Day" is alright IMHO, because it means liberation from Nazis in 1944 (Minsk was liberated on this day). Cmapm 04:38, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Minsk was liberated on 3 July 1944 during Operation Bagration. How about Liberation Day ? --PFHLai 05:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I can't understand, why we should invent new names. "Independence Day" is the official translation [1] and is even named so in the American CIA World Fact Book [2]. Cmapm 10:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
I am claiming ignorance here. I really don't know. I would associate "Independence Day" with events on July 27 or August 25. I find this quite odd. But, as "Independence Day" is the official translation, we should keep it. Thanks. -- PFHLai 10:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Capetian dynasty

Moved from Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

I'm quite sure the Capetians didn't last to anywhere near the French Revolution; the dynasty went extinct with the death of Charles IV in 1328, and was followed by the Valois and Bourbon dynasties. Kirill Lokshin 17:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

According to the article on the Capetians, the Valois and Bourbon dynasties are branches of the Capetian dynasty. However, I must note that House of Bourbon doesn't mention the Capetians at all. joturner 20:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
As far as I know, while the Valois and Bourbon are technically branches of the House of Capet, the term "Capetian dynasty" is used (outside Wikipedia, anyways) only in reference to the direct Capetian line. Kirill Lokshin 21:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
