put color instead of colour.

In USA, nobody would write "I'm wearing the colour green". They will spell the word "color" the way it is spelled. Therefore, under the USA celebration color should be spelled "color" with no "u". Anything else is just colonization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.166.176.236 (talk) 23:18, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

 Not done It is an article on an Irish tradition, therefore British English is used. Please see WP:MOS Tommi1986 ^{let's talk!} 18:06, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

No. It's an Irish holiday. RedWayTooSus (talk) 22:29, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Please read WP:MOS Tommi1986 ^{let's talk!} 23:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

After reading WP:MOS and in particular the sub-section Strong national ties to a topic under the section National varieties of English, it is clear the appropriate English language variety this article should be written in is that of Irish-English. While there are some similarities with British-English, there are some differences.37.18.134.184 (talk) 13:49, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

In response to User talk:70.166.176.236 who above claims:

"color should be spelled "color" with no "u". Anything else is just colonization"

It could quite simply be pointed out that it is people from the U.S. that are guility of attempting to colonize this article related to an Irish tradition by forcing the spelling and grammar to be in U.S. English rather than the correct form of Irish-English. As specified by many editors above who highlight in accordance to the wiki policy WP:MOS under the section Strong national ties to a topic which makes it very clear which form of English is followed. Gaslighting, Reverse psychology, illogical fallacies such as Kafkatraps and other psychological games are not acceptable. Today another attempt to change the spelling of this article to U.S. English by user User talk:2003:D5:D70A:A900:6C4E:738E:31D6:6049 was captured and quickly reverted.79.154.37.64 (talk) 15:32, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Saint Patrick's Day in Brazil?

Looking for some information about the St. Patrick's Day and I found in the beginning of the page "It is also widely celebrated in the United Kingdom,[14] Canada, United States, Brazil, Argentina..." and this is not true. Nobody there knows about this date and we (yes, I'm Brazilian) never celebrate it. IMHO this information is not accurate and need some references/sources to be in the article, otherwise should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmichelazzo (talk • contribs) 15:01, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Well then off you go, you can choose to help this article to become better by adding the appropriate citations if you can find them, or if they do not exist then simply remove Brazil from the areas you find are not accurate nor supported by any citations. Alternatively, since you have stated above you are from Brazil, you might choose to help the Portuguese language Version of this article contributing to that article and translating this article to the portuguese article of St Patrick's Day via ( Wiki Translate us, H:CNL, WP:ILL, & H:IL) 79.154.37.64 (talk) 08:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

I removed it, per the above complaint and also the guideline WP:LEDE which makes it clear that the lead should summarize not supplant what is in the article, and the article body does not mention Brazil so it should not be in the lead section until someone first improves the article body. Brazil is a big place, even if there is an Irish diaspora in some places their celebrations of St. Patrick's Day it could easily go unnoticed (and people may have read too much into nice occasional gestures[1][2]). Either way Brazil should not be listed in the lead until there are WP:Reliable sources and text in the article body to support including it. -- 05:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.133.142 (talk)

Liverpool

Although Liverpool has a large Irish ancestry, it is very, very noticeable that it does not consider itself as Irish. It most certainly has no tradition of St Patrick's Day celebrations. Anything that should happen currently has been recently introduced and is very artificial — Preceding unsigned comment added by Briandaugherty (talk
