In Serbia[edit]

In Serbia, everybody calls this holliday Srpska Nova godina. Almost no one calls it Pravoslavna Nova godina. Baks (talk) 16:06, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ref problem[edit]

I added a reference to the "Other Countries" section, and the reference footer is completely different from what's showing in the edit pane.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof Wrong (talk • contribs) 22:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In Switherland[edit]

According to Russian Wikipedia article, there is a similar holiday in some German-speaking cantons of Switherland and it's called Silvester day or "Alter Silvester" in German. Can anyone confirm this information? 85.238.110.247 (talk) 14:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Financial meaning[edit]

As of both New Year and Christmas frequently having excessive drinking, "Old New Year" (more correctly, "New Year by Old Calendar") marks the ending of a financially devastating "Drunken Age". Yura87 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Date[edit]

The article says it is on January 13th, but for 2014 it is on the 14th. Should the article be edited? 75.105.48.15 (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, after doing enough research, I'm finding the Old New Year falls on January 14 between 1901 and 2100. I will edit. 75.105.48.15 (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
