Keeping it the traditional name of Guy Fawkes' Night would solve the clash there. It is usually also called that in many of the 72 British Commonwealth countries, such as New Zealand. > April Fools, solstices and equinoxes aren't just UK. > There are lots of internationally popular events to consolidate into .holiday, which involve changing a pile of files: $ fgrep -iR Fool * calendar.canada:04/01 April Fool's Day calendar.united-kingdom:04/01 April Fool's Day calendar.usholiday:04/01 April Fool's Day To my mind, that is fairly internationally recognised, so could be doing with shifting from .canada & .usholiday into .holiday. This also is pretty global: $ fgrep -iR Valentine * calendar.canada:02/14 St. Valentine's Day calendar.usholiday:02/14 St. Valentine's Day The solstices and equinoxes are already in a variety of files. To my thinking, they could be doing with consolidation into just 1 file, probably .pagan: $ fgrep -iR solst * calendar.canada:06/21* Summer Solstice calendar.canada:12/21* Winter Solstice calendar.pagan:06/20 2nd Quarter Day - Summer Solstice calendar.pagan:12/20 4th Quarter Day - Winter Solstice calendar.united-kingdom:06/21* Summer Solstice calendar.united-kingdom:12/21* Winter Solstice calendar.usholiday:06/21* Summer Solstice calendar.usholiday:12/21* Winter Solstice $ fgrep -iR equino * calendar.canada:03/20* Vernal Equinox calendar.canada:09/22* Autumnal Equinox calendar.pagan:03/19 1st Quarter Day - Spring (Vernal) Equinox calendar.pagan:09/21 3rd Quarter Day - Fall (Autumnal) Equinox calendar.united-kingdom:03/20* Vernal Equinox calendar.united-kingdom:09/22* Autumnal Equinox calendar.usholiday:03/20* Vernal Equinox calendar.usholiday:09/22* Autumnal Equinox What also jumps out at me is those seasonal qualifiers are only valid for half the planet, and are swapped about for the hemispheres. I just duplicated & left them as I don't know if there is any pagan significance to the naming of them. In my New Zealand file, I simply swapped the seasons about. As it was getting complicated (there's other items too....), I made an imperfect U.K. file, with mininal interruption to existing files. What's the order of business here? *) Get a semi shipshape U.K. file imported soon? *) Consolidate as much as possible first? I'm OK with slowly chugging through some sort of tidy up of common items, a diff for a Day. Which could take time & be divisive...
