8th of July

The page on the Great Leader states that the 8th of July is a public holiday in North Korea:

• His birthday and the day of his death are public holidays in North Korea.

However, the 8th of July isn't mentioned in this article. (Stefan2 23:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC))

18th of August

I am moving the following uncited addition here: 18 August - Last Day of REU. It refers to some reunification holiday. There are sources, that it was celebrated (probably even was an official public holiday) e.g. in 1998, but is it still official public holiday? If yes, then provide citations, please.

Creation Day

Quoting the article: Believed by many North Korean's to be the day the world was "created". North Koreans believe the Kim-il Sung "created the world" in 1912 when he was a day old Is this for real? or somebody is making a joke? Seeing that it is not cited, I'm inclined to believe it's not true, but then again I cannot remove it if it is true. Could someone verify it/cite it?Steloukos (talk) 10:39, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Tom Baker's Birthday?

I'm pretty sure Kim isn't that big a Dr. Who fan. 98.246.183.207 (talk) 00:44, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Kim Jong-un's birthday

@Asarelah: We need better sources to back this up. While The Telegraph has "North Korea declare Kim Jong-un's birthday a public holiday" as its headline, this is not what the story says. The story says that one remark by one party secretary made at one local party event was that his birthday is "one of our biggest holidays". All this is according to a newspetter by an obscure South Korean NGO "without disclosing its source".

I find The Telegraph's claim (made in the headline) unlikely. I've never heard anyone else report it and this is exactly the sort of thing that the NK regime would celebrate big time and foreign media would quickly catch on. Initiating a "public holiday" and keeping it secrte for 6 years, on the other hand, is not likely. Sources even directly contradict the information. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 20:36, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Okay, fair enough. I'll revert the edit. Asarelah (talk) 13:36, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Repeat entries

Why are there multiple entries? For example, "1st day of 1st lunar month" shows up twice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hookandloop (talk • contribs) 10:58, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
