This article is part of both and . It seems to me that these cannot both be accurate. 129.138.40.11 (talk) 22:54, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese New Year

Is Losar always the same day as Chinese New Year? If not, what are the differences? This seems to be curiously unexplained when the two calendrical systems bear such close relations to each other. --138.206.161.230 (talk) 02:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Losar is not as same as the Chinese new year. Losar doesn't fall on the same day as chinese new year. Losar is celebrated by Tibetans only, not by Chinese. No Chinese celebrates the Tibetan losar. This Wikipedia's title is confussing for poeple. It states Losar is the most important celebration of Chinese. What does this mean? No Chinese celebrate losar. Only Tibetan does. Chinese government is intentionally turning everything Tibetan into Chinese, and the rest of the so called free world is collaborating with the Chinese regime including this Wekipedia. Shame on those people who do this for money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.202.32.87 (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it usual for the Losar to be falling on the same day as the Chinese New Year? It appears like that they sometimes do. Montemonte (talk) 22:59, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
