To admins: May 26 is the independence day of Georgia and official holiday. The current form is not quite accurate/complete. Please change to: May 26 is the independence day of Georgia. On May 26th of 1918 Georgia declared independence from Russia and Democratic Republic of Georgia was established. BJS

BJS, I'm going to take your word and mention Independence Day in Georgia on the template. We currently do not have information in Wikipedia about holidays in Georgia. The other Georgias mess up my Google searches. If you don't mind, please build the page Public holidays in the Republic of Georgia and put it under Category:Public holidays by country. This would be a great help. Many thanks in advance. -- PFHLai 13:33, 2005 May 26 (UTC)

[edit] Oddity

To admins: usualy you have the holiday bold and the country not bold. but with the Georga holiday it is the other way around. --71.255.143.126 11:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The bolded link connects to the page with the relevant context. The Independence Day page is just a list of dates and country names. So, for Independence Days, the country's link is bolded as the country's wikiarticle usually has the better info. Same thing for National Days. -- PFHLai 16:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Julian calendar dates

Pushkin's birthday is May 26 indeed, but according to Julian calendar. After the adoption of Gregorian calendar in Russia in 1918 all the former dates were changed correspondingly. Therefore in modern Russia it is celebrated in June 6. The date actually is stated in both sections, and that surely leads to confusion
