Talk:Public holidays in Japan

message: This article is the first Current Japan-related collaboration. I propose that we improve this article to featured-status quality in about 30 days. 
The article has these parts:
# Introductory (lead-in) paragraph
# Table of Japanese holidays 
# Other holiday dates 
# Recent changes 
# Planned changes 
# See also 
# External links 
We can change the organization any way we like. I propose to replace the present Table of Japanese holidays with text. The text will come in two sections: one for legal holidays, one for other holidays. A merged list below the text will have the holidays in chronological order, if we feel that is important. 
:I believe the current Table of Japanese holidays is thus acceptable, and that replacing it with text would be of no particular benefit. However, the background colour of rows could be changed depending on the nature of the holidays. Grumpy Troll Talk 13:07, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I like the table too. My question is this: will the article reach featured status if its main content is in a table? I'm not sure of the answer. And if the answer is "no," then my next question is whether featured status is worth sacrificing the table for. Again, I'm not sure how I'd answer. (My goal, again, is "featured-status quality" rather than featured status itself, and I definitely believe we can attain that quality with the table intact.) So at least unless Peer Review or Featured Article Candidacy indicates strong objection to the table, I'm very happy to work within it. And, thanks for signing on! Fg2 07:17, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: However, the table makes it difficult to insert images. Please see below. Fg2 07:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I should think that the article will reach featured status if the table hosts the content better than several paragraphs, which I believe is the case; I agree that unless opinion unfavourable to the table is expressed until Peer Review or Featured Article Candidacy, we should work with it. Thank you for welcoming me heartily, it is my pleasure to work on this article. Grumpy Troll Talk 18:24, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the table is fine, but at the moment, it is unclear which holidays are national holidays (public holidays).  I came here looking for this answer and now I'll have to troll elsewhere.  Stephen.frede 02:32, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Apologies! I intended to include that information with every holiday. If you can tell me which holidays don't have this information, I'll be happy to add it! Thanks Fg2 07:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

text: It appears that most entries indicate whether they are national holidays or not, but perhaps this distinction could be made immediately evident through a binary color-code system.  The cells containing National Holidays could be one color and Traditional, but unofficial holidays could remain clear. Kirkpatrick 13:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

------
The most celebrated holiday in Japan is the return of Burruku and Sie. They are the Goddesses of the dead. Every two years they are honored for their intelligence and magical tributions. They sacrificed themselves to let Japan become its own country. They are the most significant Goddesses in Japanese world history. They are honored with tributes of Japanese art such as anime, manga, and calligraphy.

replies: text: That passage provides more information about the person who added it to the article than about holidays or deities of Japan. Never heard of any such goddesses or holidays. Fg2 (talk) 21:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I suspected, it isn't in any article as of now. MickMacNee (talk) 23:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

message: This year, the Labor Thanksgiving Day is not November 23, 2008 (today), but tomorrow November 24. Does anyone know, if it's because of the Happy Monday System? In 2009 the 23. November is a Monday, so no change there. I couldn't find any reliable source, only this    —Preceding unsigned comment added by R0pe-196 (talk • contribs) 11:24, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Labor Thanksgiving Day 2008 

message: Merely labelling these days as "holidays" is not very informative to a non-Japanese reader. Are they days off for everyone or for certain groups of people? Do schools close? Shops? Public services? 91.105.63.39 (talk) 20:13, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
