"Nativity of the Theotokos"[edit]

This seems a bit problematic to me. The Nativity of the Theotokos is on Sept. 8 - which occurs on a different day according to the Julian and the Gregorian calendar. The section "Eastern Orthodox Liturgics" has the Nativity of the Theotokos on Sept. 8, and indicates "All fixed commemorations below celebrated on Sep. 21 by the Orthodox Churches on the Old Calendar." I suggest that if Orthodox feasts are mentioned twice (once here, and once in "Eastern Orthodox Liturgics" that they follow the date of "EOL". --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 13:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Earth, Wind, and Fire"[edit]

How is there no mention of the Earth, Wind, and Fire song September on this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C6:4000:90:4C89:F447:5A64:819B (talk) 23:00, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for founding of PRC[edit]

Because National Day is a different day, it's probably necessary to include citations here to keep people from "correcting" the date of the creation of the PRC. Witness the revert a well-meaning editor just made because he completely misread the Chinese article.

That said, they're available in the page's comment history. The same editor was very insistent that date pages shouldn't be cluttered with citations, so we'll leave them there for now. — Mr Spear (talk) 11:38, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
