A Grave Error in the "Also Called" Section
[edit]Russia is listed as one of the countries where New Year's Eve is called Silvester. It is not true to the point that it is absolutely infuriating! Russian people call New Year "Novy god", and New Year's Eve "Kanun Novogo goda". 192.116.60.41 (talk) 08:44, 31 December 2018 (UTC)Elina, December 31, 2019192.116.60.41 (talk) 08:44, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

New York date?
[edit]The article correctly says that the ball drop element of the New Year's Eve celebrations in New York's Times Square began in 1907; however, the location was the scene of New Year's Eve festivities from 1904 according to the "Building history" section of the One Times Square article.

There is no Indonesia in By Region?
[edit]I just wonder why isn't indonesia included in By Region but only Malaysia has a special New Year. What would go wrong? 180.253.132.159 (talk) 04:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Because no-one has written it? Feel free to propose some text, with supporting citation. Please make clear whether it is the International New Year's Eve or Islamic New Year's eve that is being discussed. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:17, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

The part about Belgium that farmers wish their animals a happy new year is not true. If you check the Dutch page about this piece of information, you'll find it's not there. The source in the English Wikipedia page (64) is also very dubious and not credible at all. https://www.tartanplace.com/newyear/newyrcustom/belgium.html B-boi44 (talk) 08:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Done The cited source is a WP:self published source and so not legitimate. Of course nothing else in the Belgium section is cited either, so it would be great if you could collect some (any!) evidence to be added, please. Doesn't matter which language. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 10:45, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
