Citation Needed[edit]

I don't think we need a citation for "May Day (on May 1) is not a public holiday, but is nevertheless often granted as a holiday by many companies." This is common knowledge in Japan, and there really isn't a citable source for general company policy, unless someone wants to dig up obscure statistics. --Ljosi (talk) 07:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hinamatsuri[edit]

Actually, I think that Hinamatsuri is the 3rd of March, not 3rd of May. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.20.65.17 (talk • contribs) 12:33, 23 April 2004 (UTC).[reply]

Indeed it is, editing Hinamatsuri. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.70.210.168 (talk • contribs) 20:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Gōruden Wīku[edit]

Do we really need a transliteration of a transliteration? J i m p 14:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's consistent with all other articles containing Japanese text, which also provide a transliteration for the aid of people who don't know the Japanese scripts (or have browsers that don't display them). Since this contains the important information of what a Japanese holiday is called in Japanese, I don't see what's against retaining it. 91.107.158.211 (talk) 21:37, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It also serves to note that the holiday really is called "Golden Week" in pseudo-English, and that this is not just a translation. (Unlike the Chinese version, where the English name is just a gloss.). Jpatokal (talk) 23:04, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elaborate on May Day?[edit]

May Day is celebrated in many parts of Japan, especially by trade unionists and leftists. This is acknowledged on other wikipedia pages (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Thanksgiving_Day). Do we think it is appropriate to elaborate a little bit more even though only some workplaces get it off officially? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.2.29 (talk) 01:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
