Contributing to other St Patrick´s Day language articles that require some assistance

In the spirit of the Wikipedia philosophy of sharing knowledge ( Wiki Translate us, H:CNL, WP:ILL, & H:IL), if there is anyone editing this article that can speak another language and has some free time, could you please help by translating this article into that language? There are a number of articles on St Patrick's Day on Wikipedia in languages other than English; however, most of them are stubs. Furthermore, some of the articles contain inaccurate information and/or irrelevant or unrelated information to St Patrick´s Day, and many of them do not have citations to support the statements made. It would be very appreciated.

Additionally there is currently no St Patrick´s Day Wikipedia articles available in the Manx, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh language versions of Wikipedia (among many other languages) and if someone with the proficient language skills is willing to work on them, it would equally be very much appreciated.

Below is a sample of some of the other languages consisting of a St Patrick´s Day Wikipedia article which you can click to view:

Postponment in 2001 and cancellation in 2020 of St Patrick´s Day parades in Republic of Ireland

Added in the following information in relation to the postponment in 2001 and cancelation in 2020 of the St Patrick´s Day Parades in the Republic of Ireland:

On two occasions, parades across the Republic of Ireland have been cancelled from taking place on St Patrick´s Day, with both years involving health and safety reasons.[1][2] In 2001, as a precaution to the Foot and Mouth outbreak, St Patrick´s Day celebrations were postponed to May[3][4][5] and in 2020, as a consequence to the severity of the Coronavirus (COVID 19) outbreak, the St Patrick´s Day Parade was cancelled outright.[6][7][8]

First reference of Ireland as Emerald Isle and Green First act by Independent Irish Government to paint Post Boxes Green and small incidents

I added some information related the association of green to Ireland section that adds more insight to the importance of Green to Ireland such as:

Where it reads

The colour green was further associated with Ireland from the 1640s, when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation.

I added:

James Connolly would later describe this flag. prior to the 1916 Easter Rising, as representing "the scared emblem of Ireland's unconquered soul".[1]

Where it reads:

During the 1790s, green would become associated with Irish nationalism, due to its use by the United Irishmen. This was a republican organisation—led mostly by Protestants but with many Catholic members—who launched a rebellion in 1798 against British rule.

I have added:

Ireland was described as the "the Emerald Isle" for the first time in print in "When Erin First Rose" (1795), a poem by co-founder of the United Irishmen William Drennan, which stresses the historical importance of green to the Irish.[2][3][4][5]


I also added in the timeline:

When Ireland did achieve its independence in 1922, the first act by the new Saorstát Éireann (Irish Free State) government was to order all the post boxes to be painted 'Saorstát green' (as it was described), under the slogan "Green paint for a green people"[6][7]; in 1924, the government introduced a green Irish passport for Irish citizens, and it would remain this colour until the introduction of the burgundy coloured European Passports in 1985.[8][9][10]

Cancellation of 2021 St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin

I made some changes of the section regarding the cancellation of the St Patrick's Day parade in Dublin to include 2021. It now reads as follows:

The first official, state-sponsored St Patrick's Day parade in Dublin took place in 1931.[1] On three occasions, parades across the Republic of Ireland have been cancelled from taking place on St Patrick's Day, with all years involving health and safety reasons.[2][3] In 2001, as a precaution to the foot-and-mouth outbreak, St Patrick's Day celebrations were postponed to May[4][5][6] and in 2020 and 2021, as a consequence to the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the St Patrick's Day Parade was cancelled outright.[7][8][9][10] Organisers of the St Patrick's Day Festival 2021 will instead host virtual events around Ireland on their SPF TV online channel.[11][12][13]

Australia and New Zealand St Patrick's Day Information and Celebrations

I added sections on Australia and New Zealand and how they celebrate(d) St Patrick's Day. I also added Oceania (region) as opposed to Australia (continent) as it seems to be more in tune with the way the article is structured. The Section Reads as follows:

Oceania

Australia

St Patrick’s Day is not a national holiday in Australia, although it is celebrated each year across the country’s states and territories.[1][2][3] Festivals and parades are often held on weekends around the 17th March in cities such as Sydney[4], Brisbane[5], Adelaide[6], and Melbourne[7]. On occasion, festivals and parades are cancelled. For instance, Melbourne's 2006 and 2007 St Patrick's Day festivals and parades were cancelled due to sporting events (Commonwealth Games and Australian Grand Prix) being booked on and around the planned St Patrick's Day festivals and parades in the city.[8] In Sydney the parade and family day was cancelled in 2016 due to financial problems.[9][10] However, Brisbane’s St Patrick’s Day parade, which was cancelled at the outbreak of World War II and wasn't revived until 1990,[11] was not called off in 2020 as precaution for the COVID-19 pandemic, in contrast to many other St Patrick's Day parades around the world.[12]

The first mention of St Patrick's Day being celebrated in Australia was in 1795, when Irish convicts and administrators, Catholic and Protestant, in the penal colony came together to celebrate the day as a national holiday, despite a ban against assemblies being in place at the time.[13] This unified day of Irish nationalist observance would soon dissipate over time, with celebrations on St Patrick's Day becoming divisive between religions and social classes, representative more of Australianness than of Irishness and held intermittingly throughout the years.[13][14][15] Historian Patrick O'Farrell credits the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin and Archbishop Daniel Mannix of Melbourne for re-igniting St Patrick's Day celebrations in Australia and reviving the sense of Irishness amongst those with Irish heritage.[13] The organisers of the St Patrick's festivities in the past were, more often than not, the Catholic clergy[16] which often courted controversy.[17][18] Bishop Patrick Phelan of Sale described in 1921 how the authorities in Victoria had ordered that a Union Jack be flown at the front of the St Patrick's Day parade and following the refusal by Irishmen and Irish-Australians to do so, the authorities paid for an individual to carry the flag at the head of the parade.[19][20] This individual was later assaulted by two men who were later fined in court.[21][22]

New Zealand

From 1878 to 1955, St Patrick's Day was recognised as a public holiday in New Zealand, together with St George's Day (England) and St Andrew's Day (Scotland).[23][24][25] Auckland attracted many Irish migrants in the 1850s and 1860s, and it was here where some of the earliest St Patrick's Day celebrations took place, which often entailed the hosting of community picnics.[26] However, this rapidly evolved from the late 1860s onwards to include holding parades with pipe bands and marching children wearing green, sporting events, concerts, balls and other social events, where people displayed their Irishness with pride.[26] While St Patrick's Day is no longer recognised as a public holiday, it continues to be celebrated across New Zealand with festivals and parades at weekends on or around the 17th March.[27][28]
