Talk:Bloomsday

message: I removed the fanciful Irish version of Bloomsday ("Lá Bhloom") which someone put in.  Grammatically it is correct, but it is a non-existent phrase.  The Irish for Bloomsday is "Bloomsday", there is no other version in existence and it is pure falsification to invent one and put it in the article as though it was real information.  Wikipedia is about real information about the world, not for individual fantasies.

replies: text: There's a reference but the link is permanently dead; that WP:ga only lists Lá Bloom next to other equivalents Lá Fhéile Bloom, Lá 'le Bloom, Lá Blúm is suggestive if not quite reliable. Sparafucil (talk) 19:22, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

message: I've corrected the name of the church in which Plath and Hughes were married: it was St George the Martyr in Holborn, rather that St George's in Bloomsbury.  Only 4 city blocks separate the two.  James R. Ward (talk) 18:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

message: If someone could find full reference index data on the cultural media mentions, we could add them to the bibliography reference as is.  After all, they, themselves, are the reference that they reference it, and thus that it is an internationally noted event.  (It is not unlike so many other small, local holidays that attract international attention and/or tourism.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by RuediiX (talk • contribs) 07:46, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cultural and media mentions could be listed directly in references 

message: In the section First Bloomsday Celebration and accompanying picture, two names of the same person are used. Should they be collated? Under what name? I say Brian O'Nolan. 76.93.191.58 (talk) 15:40, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brian O'Nolan or Flann O'Brien? 

message: The famous puzzle from Ulysses how to cross Dublin without passing a pass, was now solved for the first time in a positive way. Using free map data from Openstreetmap.org, Rory found a route that doesn't pass a pub: http://www.kindle-maps.com/blog/yes-it-is-possible-to-cross-dublin-without-passing-a-pub.html  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.8.60.70 (talk) 11:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Some of the cultural references seem to be more references to Ulysses itself, rather than to Bloomsday. -- Beardo (talk) 00:07, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: An outrage!

message: The worldwide section has a lot of entries that could be combined into fewer paragraphs. The heading Activities suggests organizing by readings, beer tastings, commissioned pieces, plays, Irish dancing, academic papers &c. Otherwise it might be better labeled Observances with regular (established?) festivals listed by geography. Sparafucil (talk) 20:04, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
