RFV-sense "Anniversary; an anniversary day." I'd like to use it as a word of the day in December, but I don't think it's attested... - -sche (discuss) 05:17, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Likely similar to "Jahrestag" in some uses. Found [1] where it appears to refer to numbering days of the year. [2] appears to use the word in an "anniversary" sense. [3] appears to use it as a specific "anniversary" precisely analogous to "Jahrestag." Note that WK defines "Jahrestag" as "anniversary". Collect (talk) 14:04, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Isn't it a bit too rare to be used as WOTD? DCDuring TALK 15:03, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

@Collect: The first of those quotations is of the mathetical sense ("a day in a year"), and the last one is of the specific "anniversary of a death" sense.

@DCDuring: some senses of [[yearday]] aren't rare (e.g. the mathematics one). However, I'll use a different word. - -sche (discuss) 18:31, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
