The article says chhath "denotes the number 6" in Maithili, and a Google search for "Surya Shashthi Vrata" returns no results. ∴, I believe if this information is to be added, it has to be cited.

message: What's with the "Chhath Puja also has health benefits" line, at note #14? That article cited is... less than science.
Every time i try to qualify or edit this sentence, it is returned. I suspect that people more dedicatd than me demand that their Guru's website be linked. 
Wikipedia Christianity and Buddhism pages are well curated; Hinduism pages have been taken over by less than objective interests.
:Good catch! Please point out more edits like this in this or other articles. --Ronz (talk) 18:29, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

message: This was removed from the "Description" section. I can't understand what the names refer to, could someone with more knowledge of the subject matter please expand, and put it back in if it's relevant? Are these other names for the same festival, or variants of it?
* Basanti Chhath - Distinctly known as "Chaiti Chhath", this is observed in the Chaitra month of Vikram Samvat.
* Shardiya Chhath - Popularly called "Chhaith" Barka Pabni, this is celebrated at a very large scale in the Kartika month of Vikram Samvat.
* Aghaniya Chhath - Very popular with the name of "Chhotka-Pabni" and Dopaharka Aragh. Celebrated in Aghan Shukla-paksha Shasthi tithi.
* Baisakkha Chhath - This is celebrated in month of Baishakh Shukla-paksha Shasthi tithi and It is also called Chhotka-Pabni(Dopaharka Aragh).
This was removed from "Rituals and Traidtions" for the same reasons as above.
Vidhi; get all the samagri before the Chhath puja and offer an Aragh to Lord Surya:
1 large bamboo basket, 3 soop made of bamboo or brass, plate, milk and glass
Rice, red vermilion, lamp, coconut, turmeric, sugarcane, suthani, vegetable, and sweet potato
Pear, big lemons, honey, paan, whole herd, caravans, camphor, sandalwood, and dessert
As prasad, take thekua, malpua, kheer-puri, semolina pudding, rice ladoos.
Argah Vidhi— Place the above Chhath puja samagri in the bamboo basket. Put the whole prasad in soop and burn the lamp in the soop. Then, all the women stand in knee-deep water with traditional soop in their hands to offer an arghya to the sun.

message: Chhath Celebration in Melbourne, Australia
Bihar Jharkhand Sabha of Melbourne (BJSM) has been celebrating Chhath for over 4 years now and has become the largest Chhath festival celebration outside of India. This celebration has received immense support from the local government and council, who have appreciated and recognized the cultural significance of the event. The Consulate General of India in Melbourne has also expressed its appreciation towards BJSM for organizing such a grand celebration of Chhath.
The festival has also gained popularity among the attendees, who feel a strong sense of involvement in their cultural heritage. The event is not just a celebration of the festival, but also an opportunity for children to learn about their traditions and pass them on to the next generation. The festival has become a significant platform for the community to come together and celebrate their cultural roots.
BJSM's Chhath celebration has become a cultural highlight for the Indian diaspora in Melbourne and has received praise for its authenticity and scale. The event has successfully showcased the rich cultural heritage of Bihar and Jharkhand, and has become a significant cultural exchange between India and Australia.
