[Dear Subscribers, let me add a prefatory note. I never contributed anything to Wikipedia so I know nothing about its procedures, but I wonder if this is censoring. There was a time when many submissions I received for H-OIEAHC that contained the word "revolution" went into my spam folder. I figured it was a result of a computer program designed to redirect emails with certain characteristics, & I just dealt with it silently. I wonder if this comes from a similar direction. John Saillant] Hi all, I'm a Library Science grad student at the University of South Florida, and for a course on Wikipedia as a source of knowledge I tried adding some information from Young's book concerning Pope's Day. My post was mostly deleted (except for one sentence concerning Pope's Day channeling anti-British sentiment). I'm hoping that someone more knowledgeable about the history of Pope's Day might attempt to get this information from Young onto the Guy Fawkes Night page where it currently resides (under the section "In other countries"), or perhaps convince the other editors that Pope's Day requires its own page. Also, Pope's Day is referred to exclusively as "Pope Day" on the page, and I'm wondering which usage is more common? Justin M. White --
