Why is there "holiday" in parenthesis after the article title? There's nothing else to disambiguate this from. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 18:10, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

: Good question. Judging from Mercifull's reasoning, he felt that it should be disambiguated as [[Colonial Day (holiday)]] was. Honestly, I think it should be moved back, since no disambiguation is necessary. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:07, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Mars is not the first Roman god mentioned. Mercury is the Roman equivalent of Hermes. There may be other instances of Roman mythology cropping up, but that's the only one I know of. Alpha5099 12:14, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

There is also The Eye of Jupiter. --Talos 12:18, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
Hermes Class battlestar is pure fanon --Mercifull (Talk/Contribs) 12:21, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
I think Alpha was trying to contrast the name rather than suggest a fanon class. I added the relevant part back in. Yeah, I've noted that Roman issue in "Jupiter" as well. --Spencerian 12:25, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Why is there "holiday" in parenthesis after the article title? There's nothing else to disambiguate this from. --Peter Farago 18:10, 9 October 2006 (CDT)

Marsday could also be Tuesday, for in French the word for Tuesday is Mardi, and its roots are Roman.
Examples: (Monday -> Lundi -> Lune di -> Moon day) (Tuesday -> Mardi -> Mars di -> Mars day) (Wednesday -> Mercredi -> Mercure di -> Mercury day) (Thursday -> Jeudi -> Jupiter di -> Jupiter day)
I know "di" isn't the french word for day, it's jour, but I think this is how the French days of the week were formed. I just thought I'd throw this in the fray for speculation's sake, I don't expect it to make it onto the article page. Mason 01:09, 11 October 2006 (CDT)
