Talk:Commonwealth Day

message: Although the Northern Marianas Islands does have a holiday called "Commonwealth Day", it is nothing to do with the holiday observed in the Commonwealth of Nations.  Rather, it marks the day - January 8, 1978 - when the the first government of the USA-associated Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands took office.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.210.168.158 (talk) 01:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I am sure, in around 1953, in England, I had to tell the school that today was Commonwealth Day, October 26 I thought.  I was only about six, but I was chosen because I could read long words.

replies: text: It was still known as "Empire Day" and was still on 24 May in NSW (Australia) when I was in early primary school. I'm talking about early 1960s. I'm not sure when this changed but it must have been after 1958. Actually, I have an idea that it might have been officially "Empire and Commonwealth Day" or even "British Empire and Commonwealth Day" for a time. That was also when we'd hold "Cracker Night" back then, before privately lit fireworks and associated bonfires were banned at some point. Metamagician3000 (talk) 08:34, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The date? 

message: I would have thought that Empire Day, having been a far more important event on the calendar than Commonwealth  Day, would have its own article, and not be merely redirected to this one, where it’s given a derisory 2 or 3 paragraphs.  The British Empire was of immense importance, and Empire Day celebrated as such for several decades.  In comparison, Commonwealth Day is a non-event. Boscaswell talk 10:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
