Talk:Golden Week (Japan)

Citation Needed

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)

Hinamatsuri

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).

Do we really need a transliteration of a transliteration? Jimp 14:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

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)

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)

Elaborate on May Day?

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)
