message: I've checked in a couple of dictionaries for the etymology of the word "Monday", and they say that it just comes from words meaning "day of the moon". No mention of a Saxon deity named "Mona". The only references to Mona that I can find in books about mythology relate to a place associated with druids, which I gather has been idenified with the island of Anglesey. So was there really a Saxon moon deity named "Mona", or not? -- Oliver P. 03:37, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: Don't know in other languages, but the portuguese name for Monday is not "second day", but "second fair" ("Segunda feira"). More info in the portuguese wikipedia

message: I've never noticed that Australians regard Monday as the first day of the week. People I speak to regard it as the second day (albeit the first day of the "working week").

replies: text: Really? Not in my experience. After all, why start the week in the middle of the weekend? --Angry mob mulls options 11:26, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never heard it referred to as the first day, in any of the places I've lived here. I'm removing the reference since I don't think it's held as such by the majority. That's only my experience, but I'd like to see a source indicating the contrary if the mention is to be made. Radix 12:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I sincerely hope I haven't treaded on anyone's toes by restructuring these pages, but there really wasn't any consistency among them, and some pages looked awful messy. Of course feel free to revert or edit what I've changed. Unfortunately I never haver had time to do Friday to Sunday. Annatto (talk) 19:15, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Revamped Monday thru Thursday

message: It says that the Russian word понедельник means "After Sunday", but doesn't it come from the word неделя, for week, so it would mean "Beginning of the week" or something like that?  In any case, if the section is called "Origins of the name", shouldn't it be talking about origins of the English word "Monday" rather than just random information about the word in other languages?  I guess the fact that it is moon-related in all the other mentioned languages is relevant, maybe the entire piece about Russian is unnecessary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.155.201 (talk) 20:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Russian word meaning?

message: "The Russian word...is понедельник (poniediélnik)...The Japanese word for Monday is getsuyōbi (月曜日)...Monday is xingqi yi (星期一) in Chinese..."
In Russian we have the Cyrillic followed by the romanization in parentheses, whereas for the other two the romanization comes first followed by the native writing style in parantheses. I would change it, but I'm wondering if there's some guideline as to which format is correct. Brett (talk) 06:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
