Talk:Mother's Day U.S.

I think my mother would like it pointed out that Mother's Day is celebrated elsewhere. (We had lunch, it was nice.) -Derek Hodges 19:40, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

Derek I titled the article Mother's Day U.S. as it is an article about how the US celebrates its holiday. I know other countries celebrate Mother's Day but I chose to write about the US version. Feel free to write about other celebrations, if you like. Mary Ash 22:06, 8 May 2011 (CDT)

I think the article's name should be "Mother's Day in the U.S." or "Mother's Day (U.S.)." (Chunbum Park 22:47, 8 May 2011 (CDT))

Derek, you are quite right.

The question we should ask when starting any article is, is this article really necessary?

If we look at this article, we see it is called Mother's Day U.S., and we ask, what is so unique about the relationship between the U.S. and Mother's Day that it needs a separate article from Mother's Day itself?

Is CZ to have an article on Mother's Day U.K., and Moederdag N.L., and another article for every country? What is encyclopedically unique about Mother's Day U.S. as opposed to that in Britain or the Netherlands or any of the many other countries who celebrate the occasion?

The proof of the pudding is in the content - either this article is developed into an article unique from Mother's Day or this article will certainly end up as a section of Mother's Day. David Finn 01:27, 9 May 2011 (CDT)

We shall start with this is a wiki. A wiki is a collaboration between writers which means anyone can add or expand an article. As to the specificity, I actually went to Wikipedia and searched for Mother's Day. The articles about Mother's Day are broken down by U.S. and other countries. See: [1] for the Mother's Day U.S. same title as the one I started here. As we can not directly import Wikipedia articles based on the Editorial Council ruling, I can not do this. I can use the references though to write an article here and that's I've done. If you wish to expand the article go for it. Mary Ash 13:16, 9 May 2011 (CDT)

Derek I wish I could take my Mother to lunch. It's been almost two years since she passed away. Instead I take flowers to her grave and remember how much she loved me. I am glad you are able to remember your Mother and I hope you continue to do so. Once your Mother's gone there is a big hole left in your heart. Mary Ash 13:16, 9 May 2011 (CDT)
