message: If it always falls on 15 May then it cannot always be a Sunday. Why this discrepancy? Drutt (talk) 00:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: History.  Whitsunday was originally always a Sunday.  It is another name for Pentacost.  Only later was the date fixed to May 15. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 13:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Whitsunday

message: So what was the point of the move discussion if nothing was done? We now have the situation where the term "Whitsunday" brings you here and "Whit Sunday" takes you to the Whitsun article. Should the "Whit Sunday" redirect point here? Richerman   (talk) 16:22, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually User:Iloilo Wanderer seems to have given different advice in his first and second comments. At some point, someone needs to make a decision. The closer can't produce a decisive result if the commenting editors haven't said what to do. EdJohnston (talk) 16:28, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the discussion seems clear that the disambiguation page should not be at the base name. The only thing that is not clear is whether Whitsunday should be a redirect to Whitsun or to Pentecost. older ≠ wiser 16:32, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Shall I undo my close?  If people are paying attention and are willing to comment further, maybe they can reach a conclusion.  The current status is that Whitsunday contains the DAB. EdJohnston (talk) 16:36, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding of this is that the proposal was to move the information on this page to Whitsunday (disambiguation) and make this page a redirect to Whitsun The proposer then changed that and said it could redirect to Whitsun or Pentacost. There were two supports - one was unclear about the redirect and the other said redirect to Pentacost. It was then closed as moved, which is incorrect as nothing has been decided about the redirect and nothing has been moved. The reason I didn't comment earlier is that it was just a confusing mess. However, having now got it straight in my head I would support the move if this page becomes a  redirect to the Whitsun article and there is a hatnote on that article pointing to Whitsunday (disambiguation). The first line of the Whitsun article says "Whitsun (also Whitsunday, Whit Sunday or Whit) is the name used in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the Christian festival of Pentecost" - so that clears up any confusion once you get there. In the Pentacost article Whitsunday isn't mentioned until the second paragraph and then it links to the Whitsun article but the terms Whitsun and Whit aren't mentioned at all - and it would probably be overkill to mention all the terms used there.

replies: text: How about including mention of Whitsunday in Pentecost (disambiguation)? Also the DAB says it is one of the 'prominent feasts in the Catholic liturgical year.' This might be overdoing it, because Protestants observe Pentecost also. EdJohnston (talk) 15:03, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems reasonable. I would just change it to Christian liturgical year, however, the modern usage is Whit Sunday - if you Google Whitsunday you mostly get information about the islands. Richerman   (talk) 17:05, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What was all that about? 

message: That was ... not the consensus. I have now pointed it to Whitsun, as consensus was showing. Red Slash 17:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but I'm afraid you still got it wrong - it should be Whitsunday (disambiguation). There is no mention on the article page or in the discussion of the plural Whitsundays. Richerman   (talk) 21:24, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Indeed, having this at the plural is simply bizarre. Not one of the entries is plural. older ≠ wiser 22:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
