The orphan tag ("There are very few or no other articles that link to this one") was added in Nov. 2006. I just clicked on "What links here" and found that there are now 10 links to this page. Is this enough to remove the tag? MishaPan06:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
A simple count of lines on that page can be misleading. One of them is a redirect page and not a link from an actual reference. Those below it actually link to the redirect, as indicated by the indent. If a user follows those links they'll automatically be send here instead. Redirects can be created for any number of reasons. One of them is when you move (that is, rename) a page, Wiki automatically creates a redirect to the new name at the old location. That's what happened in this case. I moved it back in February because the name was originally misspelled.
That leaves us with 9 links -- but for the purposes of utility, only links from other articles really "count". Three of them -- the ones that link through the redirect, as indicated by the indentation -- are in user space. (The first is the user page of the original author, the other two are different users' collections of orphaned pages.) Of the six remaining, one is in category talk space. So really we only have five "real" links here.
My American Heritage Dictionary defines "several" as: "Being of a number more than two or three, but not many...." So, I'll take that as a "go-ahead." MishaPan07:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Eastern, or Slavic, or East Slavic Orthodox Custom?
Just a point - I know the Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians do it. I'm certain the Greeks and Arabs don't do Radonitsa. I'm wondering if the Balkan Orthodox do it. Should 'Eastern Orthodox custom' be altered slightly after we confirm this? InfernoXV (talk)`

This page does not reflect the differences between the Ukrainian customs (which have names pomynky or hrobky) and the Russian/Belorussian variety. At least in parts of Ukraine this is a big holiday, on which even distant family members meet on cemeteries and eat food together. Many graves have tables near them for this exact purpose. --Amakuha (talk) 09:44, 1 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
