[edit] no sources
what is the source for the listing of various dates as the "official" celebration for various countries? As far as I know, India has no official recognition for father's day. Hangal (talk) 12:04, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] no detail for non-US
There is great (and repetitive) detail about the reason for the particular date chosen for the US day, but hardly any for the other countries - for example why do the Scandinavians have theirs in November, not too far from Christmas ? 78.64.81.219 (talk) 16:23, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Seconded. I don't have the time, but can someone please expand the history to be a bit more non-US-centric. Jaruzel (talk) 08:14, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi, it'd be great if you could add in section 4 "International history and traditions" a new entry for my country, Italy. In the following the text you may use for that new Italy subsection:
In Italy, according to the Roman Catholic tradition, fathers are celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day, commonly called Feast of Saint Joseph ("Festa di San Giuseppe"), March 19. In Italy the Father's Day is not a public holiday.
Thx so much for your help. Have a nice day, MB. Mbelluomini (talk) 09:38, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

- Added. The article was semi-protected when the request was made back in 20 June. --Enric Naval (talk) 14:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Western Father's Day was inspired by Ancient Nepali (Hindu) Father's day
It is a day for all fathers to act like good fathers and get their wives cookies! The article claims that Nepali father's day was inspired by western father's day which is false because it is an ancient tradition in Nepal. Instead, Western Father's Day is new and falls around the date Nepal celebrates their Father's Day. Also, the editor does not seem to understand why the father's day has changed this year (or the year he made the edit). In fact, if he has not checked, the date is actually different every year! Its because Nepal uses Lunar calendar for many festival dates. The Nepali calendar is a mixture of Solar and Lunar calendar. Its weird that such a person is allowed to edit Wikipedia pages and we are not. I think this person is actually writing false information on purpose.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hindukingdomnepal (talk • contribs) 13:16, 19 June 2011
- I reworded the section. The Western celebration is unrelated to the Nepali celebration, but people celebrate both of them on the day of the Nepali celebration. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:54, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
