Talk:National day of mourning

message: I don`t think that those events were marked with mourning everywhere in world i.e. why would people in non-christian country mourn about pope ? -- Xil - talk 06:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's true - I don't hear it even mentioned in the U.K. anyway.  I'll change it to "Mainly Roman Catholic countries" or something. -- the GREAT Gavini 22:26, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Surely every new disaster and national day of mourning called for does not have to be listed here, so that people understand the concept.  Some days are celebrated annually; others only on a specified occasion. What is the point of an endless list? --Parkwells (talk) 19:16, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not made of paper. If a long list troubles some people, perhaps it could be tranferred to a new article (List of national days of mourning), but it's counterproductive to just eliminate information when space isn't a problem. 83.251.103.57 (talk) 15:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :National day of mourning's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "guard":
From Metrojet Flight 9268: 
From Death and state funeral of Fidel Castro: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 08:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I've removed Princess Diana from the list. There was no official day of mourning for her in the UK , or as far as I'm aware, anywhere else. Optimist on the run (talk) 19:37, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

message: A number of U.S. tragedies such the 2017 Las Vegas shooting and the 2019 El Paso shooting are listed as national days of mourning, but this isn't supported by any of the sources. In those cases, the president signed a presidential proclamation to lower the U.S. flag, but it doesn't say anything about a "national day of mourning." When former President George H.W. Bush died, for example, the proclamation specifically called it a "National Day of Mourning throughout the United States" and it was widely reported as such. I think the U.S. tragedies citing only flag instructions should be removed. Johndavies837 (talk) 20:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
