:::::::::::::: ASchlafly, I am using the methodology you recommended [http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Examples_of_Bias_in_Wikipedia&diff=next&oldid=465265 in your comment above] - using Google hits to determine 'truth'.  As to spellings and typos, it makes little difference - "St.Valentine's Day"=563,000 hits and  "Saint Valentine's Day"=176,000, a total of 739,000 hits.  "Valentine's Day"=41,500,000 hits, and "Valentines Day"=19,600,000 hits, or a total of 61 million hits, giving a ratio of 82:1 in favour of the non-religious form.  Thus, by your suggested methodology as above, all articles regarding the 14th Feb should be retitled "Valentine's Day", and the religious forms should be redirects.  [[User:WaltherPPK|WaltherPPK]] 13:15, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

::::::::::::::: But you already emphatically rejected that methodology and, besides, "St. Valentine's Day" is unquestionably the historically correct name.  "Belfast Agreement" has no historical claim to accuracy.  While I was willing to compromise, you were not:  you are adamant that the non-religious name be chosen in both circumstances, for contradictory reasons.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 14:34, 5 June 2008 (EDT)
    
::::::::::: Rather than creating a new article, one of the existing articles should be renamed.  Probably the Good Friday Agreement one, given that it was started first.  Of course only a sysop can do that, but there's enough of us around.  Are we agreed on that course of action?  [[User:Philip J.
