Talk:Arbor Day

message: I would like to see this page explaining the reason this day is called "Arbor" day, from Latin Arbor = tree (I think). Why wasn't it given an English name? Why has this Latin name stuck?

thread_title: Arbor Day

message: Arbor day is an ancient tree dressing festival unique to the village of Aston on Clun in South Shropshire. It is, in fact the only village in the UK to continue with this festival.  This is due to a special wedding pageant that commemorates a wedding in the 1700s. For full details see:  www.arbortreeday.co.uk

The material on Gothem City is interesting, but needs more context. Where is it? Is it a fictional town? Are there citations to support the material? --Ben 12:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Arbor Day is properly called Arbor Day in the Commonwealth, not Arbour Day.  The word "arbour" derives from a Latin word for "herb" and is only properly used for a shaded sitting place in a garden, while "arbor" comes directly from the Latin for tree.  Any Google search of a Commonwealth place and "Arbour Day" will return far fewer results than a search of the place and "Arbor Day".  For instance:
Australia and "Arbour Day": 857 results
Australia and "Arbor Day": 107,000 results
I can give you several references showing use of "arbor":
*Alberta, Canada
*Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
*Queensland, Australia
*Western Australia, Australia
*New Zealand
*Ireland
Hope that's enough to show that the day is not called "Arbour Day" outside of the United States. Lexicon (talk) 17:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I have consolidated the People's Republic and Republic section into one section for China. Both the Taiwan Area and Mainland Area celebrate it on the same day and having both in the same section would better explain why this is the case. It is as politically neutral as possible and is not intended to dictate the political status of Taiwan.

message: "Northrop was responsible for globalizing the idea when he visited Japan in 1895 and delivered his Arbor Day and Village Improvement message."
Let me get this straight: The idea started in Spain, then an American copied it and he's credited with "globalizing the idea" when he took it to Japan?!
