message: Đurđevdan ... a Serbian religious holiday, celebrated on April 23 by the Julian calendar, or May 6 by Gregorian calendar.
So do some Serbs celebrate on April 23 and some on on May 6?  The article doesn't say which date or which calendar is used where. Claret 22:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 23 April Julian and 6 May Gregorian are the very same day, obviously. Duja 12:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Being that there is no "Đ" in the English alphabet, how is this pronounced?  Should we start writing articles using 質問をな (Japanese) and програми (Russian) as well?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.69.81.2 (talk) 14:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Both Ð and ð are used in Old English and early Middle English and have the sound of th as in either think (voiceless) or that (voiced).  See eth for more information.  In modern usage it is found in Icelandic and Faroese.  Welsh words which formally used it now use a double d as in Gwynedd pronounced "Gwineth".  In 1878 Đuro Daničić took the Icelandic eth and employed it for his Serbo-Croatian dictionary to replace older the digraphs dj and gj.  It was officially adopted in 1892.  It is important to realise therefore that Đurđevdan is NOT pronounced "Thurthevdan" as it would be in English, but Djurdjevdan which is its official transcription.  This is just one part of a much larger debate as to how much the English language should be modified to suite foreign languages.  We still talk of Munich (not München) or Moscow (not Moskva) and yet now are expected to use Mumbai and Beijing in place of Bombay and Peking.  Ultimately my feeling here is the WP:RF must always apply and using the English transcription would be courteous to Anglophones, some of whom may be speaking English as a poor second language.  Pehaps the article title should be Djurdjevdan and Đurđevdan created as a redirect (move does this automatically), but then the first sentence ought to read "Djurdjevdan (Sebian Đurđevdan) (Ђурђевдан, pronounced [ˈdʑuːrdʑeʋdaːn], "George's day" in Serbian, Gergyovden "George's day" in Bulgarian, Jurjevo "George's" in Croatian and Bosnian or Gjurgjuvden (Ѓурѓовден) in Macedonian, is a South-Slavic religious holiday, celebrated on April 23 by the Julian calendar (May 6 by Gregorian calendar), which is the feast of Saint George and a very important Slav".

message: Re the merge tag of February 2018: I suggest the merge be with George's Day in Autumn, since both appear to be observed by the Serbian Church, it's less generic than "Saint George's Day", and they seem to complement each other. Mannanan51 (talk) 13:13, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose both the initial proposal and the alternative. The initial proposal isn't necessaty because there is an appropriate Summary/main link between Saint George's Day#South Slavic tradition and Balkan spring festival and Đurđevdan. The second proposal doesn't work as April isn't in Autumn in the parts of the world that mostly celebrate this, and it comes from a quite different tradition, as the Saint George's Day#Eastern Orthodox tradition section discusses.
