About merging "Dozhinki" and "Harvest festival"[edit]

Dozhinki is the day of the traditional calendar of the Slavs (in Poland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia).

--Лобачев Владимир (talk) 17:51, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In Russia:

Dozhinki (russian: Дожинки, Обжинки) - folk festival finishing harvesting rye, wheat or oats.
Osenins (russian: Осенины) - folk festival end cleaning garden (all) cultures.
Harvest festival - a modern secular holiday, in the Soviet era was appointed and held the Communists.

--Лобачев Владимир (talk) 18:07, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Points[edit]

Oppose for merging Dozhinki and Harvest festival. Reasons for keeping separate article:
1. "Harvest festival" is a broader concept. "Dozhinki" is specific (ethnolinguistic) expression of this tradition in a particular (Slavic) culture, limited by region and common name. Being named element of Slavic folk calendar, this holiday may well be extracted as a separate article, more special than the "harvest festival" in general. See also differents interwiki links for Dozhinki and Harvest festival.
2. Also Dozhinki is not a another name for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is mainly christianity tradition, in the western countries. Dozhinki is based on the pre-christianity folk tradition.
3. Recognizable name. "Dozhinki", "Dožínky" - is a recognizable name, commonly found in the cultural context, many historical images is attributed to the use of the name (especially collected in the commons:Category:Dozhinki)
4. Base for contemporary events. "Dozhinki" tradition became the basis for several modern public (official) holidays and festivals.
5. Interwiki connectivity. Separate article about this Slavic tradition will remain in the some Wikipedia editions; English Wikipedia is main "interwiki hub", and very convenient when possible to cling to her.

Original research?[edit]

Anonymous 46.174.26.245 (talk · contribs) persistently puts {{OR}} template without any explanation. Interwiki links of this article clearly suggests that it is an independent ethnocultural phenomenon (in the common tradition of the harvest festivals). --Kaganer (talk) 07:43, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Лобачев Владимир and Kaganer ! Show differences between rituals, out of the languages ! xxx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.174.26.245 (talk) 07:48, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rituals have ethnocultural variations, that merit of extraction in a separate article. The name of such an article, of course, can and should be discussed (but not in a "edit war" mode!). Even if the current title seems unnecessarily "linguistic-centered" may be good reasons to keep it, as example, from the point of view to maintain transparency of interwiki links. --Kaganer (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Source? This article gives no reason to think so. In any case, the article pl:Dożynki - not about the word, but about the folk tradition (which eventually mutates).--Kaganer (talk) 08:40, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

one Wiki dont cited other wiki !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.174.26.245 (talk) 11:30, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of cource ;) This no cite, this is an illustration of what is written by people who know the language. I quite understand Polish and English texts, to see which version is correct.--Kaganer (talk) 00:18, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See, as example, online dictionary slovnyk.org:
En > Ru - En:Harvest = Ru:Жатва

Ru > Pl - Ru:Жатва = Pl:Żniwa

The same can be understood simply by comparing the texts of these articles. I compared and understood. How do you think that one goes up, and all the rest - do not keep up?--Kaganer (talk) 00:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the word "dożynki" can be translated (from polish to eng.), in particular, as just harvest. But traditional holiday (festival) name "Dożynki" is untranslated etnocultural element (as proper noun). Actual links is correctly. --Kaganer (talk) 00:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the common texts "Dożynki" may be translated as abstract "Harvest festival" (but not a just "Harvest"!) - English culture does not contain exactly the same holiday. But our current issue - not just a translation, but the most accurate and unambiguous link between encyclopedia articles in different languages. In this case, transcription and transliteration of proper names is not just acceptable, but a vernacular practice. --Kaganer (talk) 00:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NB: Thanksgiving is linked to pl:Dzień Dziękczynienia. --Kaganer (talk) 08:59, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dozhinki → Dożynki – It seems the current name is the least popular in English usage. Per WP:UE we should use the term that predominates in English-language reliable sources. A quick search on Google Books (with lang=en parameter) shows:

225+144 for Dożynki/Dozynki (Polish name)
1 false positive for Dozhinki
10+1+2 for Obzhynky, Obzhinky or Obzhinki

Google Scholar doesn't cope well with searches in a particular language only, but still there seems to be a 50:1 consensus in favour of the Polish term (cf. Dozhinki (10) vs. Obzhinki (3) vs. Dożynki (527) vs. Obzhynky (11)). //Halibu tt 10:17, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Tentative~~ support - at least we'd be moving to something correct in one language as opposed to none. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:55, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a modern festival pl:Dożynki prezydenckie w Spale. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 19:45, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Лобачев Владимир: That's because the tradition entered the mainstream in the last 50 or so years and currently there are official dożynki organised in virtually every gmina in Poland, sometimes also powiat-level dożynki and of course the "presidential" dożynki, sort of a central, official, state-sponsored dożynki. There's thousands of feasts organised all around Poland every year (usually in late August). No wonder the term used in English literature is based on Polish rather than Russian or Ukrainian, where the feast is much less popular apparently. //Halibutt 21:53, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

        Sure:
        Harvest festival Dozhinki - 10 hits
        
        Harvest festival Dozynki - 152 hits
        
        Harvest festival Dożynki - 48 hits
        
        Obzhynky - 10 hits.
        
        All in all, it really seems the Polish name is more popular in English literature. //Halibu tt 17:10, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
