The capitalization is correct - it's a direct quote from a Scottish Socialist Party poster. The expression used in the UK is Guy Fawkes Night, not Day.

I don't care if it's a "quote" - it's an awful use of capitalization, and the holydaze template does not really support footnoting to make it make sense. I modern day English we only cap the first word, proper nouns, etc. Also, just because it's capped that way on some web site does not change that it is a hard core meme and should simply be written using current capitalization.

As far as "day" vs "night", when I was a kid, we called it Guy Fawkes Day. Has it changed since the sixties?

MORE: Those images are like gay French play masks. Why not some barrels of dynamite? And no one argued with me that it's GF's DAY not night. ħumanUser talk:Human 05:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
