I am not an expert, but shouldn’t it be Old French calendrier? henne 17:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?[edit]

Would a picture of a calendar be useful? Wouldn't a current-month calendar (in a wiki table) be even more useful? Oh wait, is that even possible? --Connel MacKenzie 00:26, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be useful. Don’t know about possible. —Stephen 03:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another Confusing Usage[edit]

I’m not sure how to handle this, so I’ll just quote my source:

To see the statue of Saint Anthony paraded through the streets, one would assume that the event is funded by the crowd-donated streamers of money, called calendars, strewn around the saint.

Calendering[edit]

I'm not sure how to add a new etymology section, but we need one I think for the following: Calendaring "A process used to finish cloth by passing it through rollers under pressure. The machine is called a calendar. This process can be used to create different textures and surface effects on the woven cloth." source: https://www.humphriesweaving.co.uk/glossary-of-terms/ FreeFlow99 (talk) 13:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FreeFlow99: That's calender, a different spelling. Equinox 13:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
