Monthlong events In June

Does anyone know anything about this?

국가 명랑한 달 In North Korea

As this is the English Wikipedia, I'm tempted to just yank it...and that string ("국가 명랑한 달") generates zero google hits. Jim Douglas 07:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

A little help?

Hello? This site usually meets my expectations but here it doesn't. Can anyone help improve this, especially this article plus more.211.28.128.76 09:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Gay and Lesbian Pride Month

According to various news sources, President Clinton proclaimed June "Gay and Lesbian Pride Month", yet I haven't seen anything about this on Wikipedia, under this article or the ones on Clinton, LGBT History month, June observances, or LGBT. TigressofIndia (talk) 02:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Pride month keeps getting added and removed. I'm not sure how to get the page locked, but it might be wise to do so.

Origin of name

In his Fasti, Ovid claims that the month is named after youths, "iuniores", in contrast to the previous month, May, named after elders, "maiores". Something should be said about this in the article. Erik the Red 2 (AVE·CAESAR) 01:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

North Korea invades South Korea?

What's this about "The Democratic People's Republic of Korea invades the Republic of Korea."? Does that happen every June? I'm assuming that has happened in the past, so that doesn't belong here. I'm erasing it. CayenneGaramonde (talk) 21:32, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Ovid Forgot One

One of the ancient historians (Tacitus? Suetonius? Dio?) mentions that June was to be changed to the name of an emperor due not only to the fact that the event that occurred to warrant the months original name change (Marcus Junius Brutus' overthrow of Rome's final king) was by then ancient history but also the Junius name was sullied by a latter Marcus Junius Brutus participating in an assassination. Someone please research and correct. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsignedt added by 66.64.111.18 (talk) 22:19, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

disambiguation?

There is no disambiguation at the start of the article. Most other months do, for example May: This article is about the month. For other uses, see May (disambiguation). I'd think June is somewhat normal as given name. 85.217.21.90 (talk) 22:55, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Repeated removal of LGBT Pride month

@Stevenjohan988. Thank you for offering some kind of explanation for your removal. Regarding the reasons you gave in your edit summary...

1-this month is not celebrated worldwide its only in fact most of the world doesn't celebrate it. This appears to be true of every item on the list, with the exception of the Sacred Heart one. Do you object to the other list entries?

2-the pride month didn't exist and wasn't celebrated until 2021 (atleast outside usa). So? It's been celebrated intermittently in the US for about 2 decades. I don't see why it should matter that it has only recently begun spreading to other nations.

3-no wonder why the most islamophobic and christianophobia countries like Israel for example are the ones celebrating it. I don't see how this comment is relevant to the topic. Squeakachu (talk) 07:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

The third one isn't relevant. It's incivility somewhere in the orbit of a personal attack (and potentially against policy for that reason). - Purplewowies (talk) 08:17, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Source spotchecks

Seven randomly chosen citations:

• 28 in combination with 29, cites the sentence "The most well-known month-long observance in the United States in June is Pride Month, which is the celebration of LGBT individuals and the advancement of their civil liberties"; I do not see where "the most well-known month-long observance in the United States" is supported, nor "the celebration ... of their civil liberties".
• 5 I do not see where "entered English in the 13th century via the Anglo-Norman join, junye and junie" is supported by the source
• 61 good
• 21 good
• 60 good
• 44 good
• 13 can't access; AGF

General comments

• The nominator is the majority author, so all good on that front.
• The source spotcheck above shows a couple of issues; I will thus perform another spotcheck before the close of the review.
• The "Observances" section needs work.
  • The first sentence is about Catholicism, but is not in the "Religious observances" section.
  • I don't see much coverage of non-Christian or non-western holidays/observances. Are there no Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Shinto, Taoist, or Jain holidays which can occur in June? Are month-long observances all North American/Caribbean/British?
• File:2018 San Francisco Pride.jpg's caption should describe both the immediate context of the image and the background, rather than just the latter.
• I'll put this review on hold while the above issues are sorted out. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 18:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! Unfortunately I have had unexpected delays, but I will hopefully be able to get to this soon if you spare me a few weeks. I clicked the 'help me choose' button and this is what it generated - strange, huh? (talk) 23:36, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm willing to keep this on hold for a further two weeks, until 23 April. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 23:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately unforeseen personal matters have rendered me unable to work on this article anytime soon. Please feel free to fail this GAR. My most sincere apologies and best regards, I clicked the 'help me choose' button and this is what it generated - strange, huh? (talk) 06:41, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
