Births: Eugent Bushpepa - Albanian musician, represented Albania in Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in 2018. Roman Lobb - German singer, represented Germany in ESC. Diana Gurtskaya - Georgian singer, represented Georgia in ESC. All of them have pages on here, so easy to include them in the births list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8308:1BE:A00:BCBC:903A:FE2:101 (talk) 20:00, 2 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

According to the Flag Day article, Curacao observe their Flag Day on 2 June not 2 July. So it should be removed, shouldn't it? Elspooky (talk) 10:38, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

So fix it. Don't be afraid to be bold. Swayback Maru ^{Mufka's alternate account (talk)} 21:01, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

"In countries that use summer time the actual exact time of the midpoint in a common year is at 1:00 p.m, or 11:00 a.m for countries in the southern hemisphere; this is when 182 days and 12 hours have elapsed and there are 182 days and 12 hours remaining."

This statement seems to be complete nonsense. Are there any countries in the southern hemisphere which use summer time in July ? And, if there was any, the "middle hour of the year", would still be 1 p.m., and not 11 am as claimed, because that would correspond to noon in that country's standard time.

I thought this was nonsensical too, and I came here to say so. But thanks to your mention of "summer time in July" being wrong in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) I saw the light (pun intended). That is wrong, SH summer is in January. But that is why the 11:00 midpoint is exactly correct for SH locations that observe Daylight Savings Time (DST, aka summer time). In Australia DST is in effect when the year changes, December/January. So 11:00am July 2 (or 11pm July 1st in leap-years) is their midpoint of the year precisely because July is NOT in daylight savings time. Bob Stein - VisiBone (talk) 16:28, 2 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I still think it is notable that there are 182 days on each side of this date. KINDA-STUPID (talk) 21:00, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Many of my edits to these articles get reverted or removed: I always prefer to ask about additions.

Could someone add the International Day of Cooperatives to this page, please? Cuddy2977 (talk) 08:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your request, @Cuddy2977. Unfortunately, only holidays/observances that fall on the same date each year are included in DOY articles. The article itself has the dates that this has been observed in recent years. Kiwipete (talk) 09:24, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Kiwipete yes: I literally just noticed afte I posted this.

cheers, though. Cuddy2977 (talk) 10:13, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Kingsif - your edit summary for this edit needs a bit of explanation. WP:EVENTDOY applies to entries in the Events section of this article - you made your change in the Holidays and observances section. Regardless of where the edit is made, WP:DOYCITE applies in all cases. As far as "See, the rest of the observed feasts list." goes, WP:DOYCITE applies to all new entries. Finally, as per WP:BRD, you should have raised the issue here before reinstating your earlier edit. I'll revert it again. Please discuss here first before you make any more edits. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 02:11, 11 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
