Talk:Buddha's Birthday

message: I'm in Taiwan, and here the birthday is celebrated today, April 8, like in Japan. It is not a holiday.

thread_title: Celebrations in Taiwan

message: I don't get why anon's edit on May 5 was reverted. The edit summary for the revert was "This is the date of the PUBLIC HOLIDAY. Not the date when Buddhists celebrate." However, there's no indication in the article that that's what's being addressed, and I don't see why there would be. It's originally a Buddhist holiday. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 02:36, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Which date is the eighth day of the fourth month in the Chinese calendar ? May 5, not May 12. For the actual Buddhist celebration, please see Vesak. That's a month long, with the climax/highlight on the day of the full moon, which is on May 12 this year. -- PFHLai 17:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Actually, some places have this holiday on the 15th, rather than the 8th, day of the 4th month in the lunar calendar. Buddha's Birthday as a public holiday in Vietnam & Thailand is on May 12 this year. This has been added to the article. Is it better now ? -- PFHLai 18:40, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps I should clarify that the word 'some' should be in that bad edit summary of mine on May 5th but was somehow missing (I'm a lousy typist). Sorry. The line should read: ... Not the date when some Buddhists celebrate.. -- PFHLai 05:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  May 5 or 12? 

message: This edit:  was made by an editor know for hoaxes.  However, I have no way of verifying the information.  Good luck! --Kevin Murray 14:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible hoax

message: Wikipedia and most other English sources tend to prefer "the Buddha" to simply "Buddha". However, this article seems to prefer "Buddha", perhaps because it is implied by the article's title. If we change instances of "Buddha" to "the Buddha", should we also moved the article to the Buddha's Birthday?—Nat Krause(Talk!·What have I done?) 18:28, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
