The day it was signed into law (November 25) is much more important. --User:Maveric149 07:40, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC) My addition of International Men's Day was removed and called "vandalism." I'm confused by this; what are the guidelines for including a holiday on the list? --User:128.32.183.116 01:00, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC) :When I clicked on International Men's Day it was in the process of being speedy deleted. Now that tag is not on the page for whatever reason. Seeing as how the page was being deleted, it seemed it was vandalism, so I deleted the entry. If it's a legitimate entry, I apologize and by all means, please put it up again. User:Dismas 01:21, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
