• Support It's cute. I would improve the wording a bit to explain what "holiday" means - it has different meanings in different countries. (Notably in Australia it basically means "vacation" whereas we would say "public holiday" for a special day on which most people don't work.) Stevage (talk) 02:04, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Do not oppose. But it needs more effort than wearing green on St Patrick's Day! Bottomley Potts (talk) 08:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

May I ask why? Wearing green is a traditional and very common way for people to celebrate St Patrick's Day, why should this not count towards the achievement? --KerrMcF (talk) 18:30, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I agree that wearing green is in the spirit of the holiday and should qualify under the current definition of the achievement. If we want this achievement to require more effort, we would have to define what's constitute sufficient effort. For me, anything deliberate and sufficiently-related that celebrates the Holiday and requires some planning (such as wearing green) should be enough. Otherwise bringing a towel to Towel Day shouldn't count either. --Baarde (talk) 10:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

• Needs work. I feel like this needs some kind of clarification of what counts as a holiday. My suggestion would be that some kind of officially recognized holiday in the local area should be a requirement. If not, does any claimed "holiday" count? Can the achievement be earned by eating a burger on National Burger Day? Or being both transgender and visible to the naked eye on Transgender Visibility Day? Right now as written it is unclear, but if it's amended to state what counts as a holiday I will change to do not oppose. --Tarasaurus (talk) 09:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)#
  • Added clarification on what is considered valid for the achievement. National Days are not valid as there are between 2 and 5 each day, most of which are far too easy to achieve (for example, the achievement would be possible on July 13th by appreciating barbershop music, having "Beans 'N' Franks", or being in Delaware). --KerrMcF (talk) 21:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't really agree eith this, it makes it difficult to draw the line. I'd prefer being less restrictive, i.e. it can be any holiday that you did not just make up. If someone demonstrates their appreciation of barbershop music on the 13th of July, I'll happily let them claim this achievement. --Fippe (talk) 22:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
