I've lived in Winnipeg my whole life and had never heard about this event until I saw it mentioned in passing on a TV show. I could only find one article of any substance on If Day, so I tried to distill some of the main points and make a quick wikipedia page about it. Don Dueck ( talk) 19:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Because, if it has not, it would seem to go well on April Fool's day. It could be easily be made to be misleading, but it would be honestly factual. But it's all just my opinion. 76.95.96.150 ( talk) 03:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Is there any recording of the day that could be linked to? Might be of interest. Surv1v4l1st ( Talk| Contribs) 03:02, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

1. Well-written:
(a) the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct;
Some minor bits to address:
(b) it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Factually accurate and verifiable:
(a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout;
(b) it provides in-line citations from reliable sources for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;
(c) it contains no original research.
Broad in its coverage:
(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;
(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
Illustrated, if possible, by images:
(a) images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content;
(b) images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
Funny that after World War II there was a town that had a similar exercise over what would happen if the communists had taken over, and that incident gets laughed at by dismissers of the communist threat. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 02:11, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
A band called They Might Be Giants recently wrote a very catchy tune about If Day. (From the album “Book”, 2022) 68.231.191.55 ( talk) 01:19, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
Although this is a feartured article, I believe I have found a major inconsistency as the supposed Gauleiter Erich von Neurenberg, seems to also be called Neuremburg later in the article. As far as I can tell, he was named the later, but then again, I can't access the source right after his name. Sources: [1] [2] XCBRO172 ( talk) 05:15, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
