message: An excerpt from the Popol Vuh

: The excerpt from the Popol Vuh is of interest, but as the page is current event oriented, I'm not sure of its long-term relevence. -- Infrogmation 01:38, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I moved the below section here to talk, as it is strangely worded (and looks like a text dump from a source using strange abreviations) and is not clear. (It was also placed in the middle of the interwiki section.) -- Infrogmation 19:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  What dragon is 

message: The page List of U.S. state name etymologies speculates that the name of Oregon may derive from the French word ouragan, meaning storm. This is related to the term Orcan, the German Orcan, the Spanish huracán. Should the possiblility be listed on this page? samwaltz 15:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. While I think its role in the etymology of huracán & other European equivalents is reasonably well-accepted (and noted in this article, according at least to the Oregon article that etymology is only one of several suggested for the State, and not it seems the most plausible. So I guess it may be a little too tangential to mention here...?--cjllw | TALK 23:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Huracan->Ouragan->Oregon?

message: We recently had new users attempt a "copy and paste" move of "Huacan" to "Huracán". I reverted the malformed move attempt; see Wikipedia:How to rename (move) a page for the proper way to move a page. First, however, discussion.  Is Huracán the proper Maya name, or is it the Spanish name?  Other thoughts, suggestions? -- Infrogmation 14:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Huracan or Huracán

message: the following text was in the article - I think it was probably machine translation of the Maize creation myth - but I'm not sure - think it either needs to go - or an expert to turn this into something intelligible EdwardLane (talk) 15:06, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Garbled text from article 

message: From this article:
"His name, understood as 'One-Leg', suggests god K of Postclassic and Classic Maya iconography, a deity of lightning with one human leg,[4] and one leg shaped like a serpent. God K is commonly referred to as Bolon Tzacab and K'awiil or Kauil."
From the page for K'awiil:
"In the cosmogony of the Popol Vuh, three Lightning deities identified with the 'Heart of the Sky' (among whom Huraqan 'One-Leg') create the earth out of the primordial sea, and people it with animals. Bolon Dzacab plays an important, if not very clear role in the cosmogonical myth related in the Book of Chilam Balam of Chumayel, where he is identified with wrapped-up seeds."
I wouldn't make this proposition if I had only noticed some similarities between these gods; but these gods' pages seem to be admitting that these are just 2 interpretations of the same figure in different Mayan cultures. With Huracan's page being so scant, shouldn't these pages be merged?
Please stop. (talk) 02:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I did a batch of articles on K'iche' deities some years ago - the fact that this one never got DYKed indicates there is very little to be written. I am a bit hesitant in lumping Huracan in with K'awiil, since the highland K'iche' were not the lowland Classic Maya, and while there was obviously some continuity, their cultures and contexts were distinct. A good example of the extent of divergance between superficially similar deities may be seen by looking at Q'uq'umatz and Kulkulkan. Simon Burchell (talk) 13:23, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
