Koninginnedag

Tomorrow it it "Koniniginnedag", the day when we celebrate the Dutch monarchy. It used to be the birthday of queen Juliana, it was the day when queen Beatrix ascended to the throne and it has always been a national holiday. This year the festivities are special, it is the 25th year of queen Beatrix's reign and as such it is special, a jubilee year.

2005 will be a year with many festivities, we will celebrate this jubilee for a year. The Dutch Wikimedia projects will join Kennisnet in a project to mark the occasion. Wikipedia, Wikinews and Wiktionary have portal pages created in cooperation with Kennisnet's project to celebrate the occasion.

For me, it is one of those rare words that do not translate. I wonder what we will do with words like this in the Ultimate Wiktionary..

Thanks,
