Apostrophe needs to be deleted

This holiday is a registered trademark, and the registered trademark does not have an apostrophe. It should be Administrative Professionals Day. There shouldn't be any grammatical argumentation over this; the trademark holder is clearly the governing body here, I would think. If someone could please remove all the apostrophes, that would be great. (I don't know how to change an article title.) 205.178.112.38 (talk) 21:23, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Globalization request

@Bazza 7: I removed the {{Globalize}} template that you added to the article because the observance was invented in the US and then spread to other countries, so it makes sense that the History section focuses on the US because that's where the action took place. I also don't see the need to list country-specific traditions when they are all basically the same (flowers, gifts, meals). Are there any country-specific differences that you know of? —howcheng {chat} 16:47, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

@Howcheng: I've never heard of this event. It's not on the calendar in the UK. The reference for Netherlands mentions the UK, but it's a commercial site only trying sell Dutch flowers to people. Similar goes for the Australian one. The others seem to be self-promotion by trade bodies deciding their members need some sort of public recognition. I added the template because (apart from the Observances list) the entire article body is about the US, with no other mention of, for example, when it migrated to other places and was proclaimed or embedded in their respective legal structures. I have a feeling that the article would be better served by stating it's a U.S.-only phenomenon, unless some none-commercial references can be found. (I can't get too excited, though: I only came across it as a result of OTD or something similar. Happy St George's Day!) Bazza (talk) 17:04, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

@Bazza 7: It's not a public holiday anywhere AFAIK, so there won't be any statutes we can cite. That in and of itself is not an issue, as we have all sorts of observances that aren't (Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day, etc). You might be right that outside the US it only exists as a matter of promotion by professional trade organizations, but if we change the article to say that "US-only" inevitably you'll get complaints that we're ignoring the places where it is observed. Google results in English invariably refer to the US with a smattering of results in Canada. Might have better luck with other language sources. —howcheng {chat} 17:50, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Last full week of April

Wouldn't this depend on when you start the week? In the US, weeks begin on Sunday but in many countries weeks begin on Monday. If April 30 is a Saturday, then the 27th would be the day by American calendars, but not others. Or is it "last full work week (M-F)"?--Khajidha (talk) 10:28, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
