(Items suggested by peer reviewers)
- Edit to eliminate redundancies that make the article too wordy
- Edit to reduce vague terms of size - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”
- Thorough copyediting
- Eliminate unnecessary wikilinks (e.g. "birth", "volunteer", etc.) - mostly done, definitely should be double checked though
- Incorporate a "Controversy" section with a "Main article:" link.
(Other items)

[edit] Christmas Non-Observance Text/Graphic Conflict for Japan
In the celebration section text, it says "Notable countries in which Christmas is not a formal public holiday include China, (excepting Hong Kong and Macao), Japan..." However, in the graphic to the left, Japan is gray, signaling that Christianity is a public holiday. Does this indicate a difference between "public holiday" and "formal public holiday"? Or should Japan be "not a public holiday but given observance"? Am I missing something else? Thank you to the authors of this comprehensive article. Robigus (talk) 08:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- Christmas may be observed in Japan in the same way as Hallowe'en, Saint Valentine's Day and the like are observed in various countries, but it is not a public holiday in Japan. Period. Esoglou (talk) 10:03, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
