message: The Google search "triquetra gilead -wikipedia -balm" gets very few links (none of which are relevant, as far as I can see), while "triquetra gilghad -wikipedia" gets zero hits.  Also, someone added a link to http://www.sodipodi.com/clipart/decorative/triquetra3.png , which is not a triquetra at all, but a more complex knotted shape.  As I result, I'm removing the paragraph until something can be documented... AnonMoos 18:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The triquetra is also a Japanese mon (crest) called Musubi Mitsugashiwa. Should this be added to the article?Lily20 (talk) 03:57, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

message: The Government of Ontario Logo is actually a trillium flower, the provincial flower of Ontario. I'm not sure if it has any relation to the Triquetra at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Converge on truth (talk • contribs) 06:54, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: There's been a minor edit war over who took from whom.  According to the books I have, such as Early Celtic Art in Britain and Ireland by Ruth and Vincent Megaw () and Later Celtic Art in Britain and Ireland by Lloyd Laing (), before conversion to Christianity, mosaics in Roman villas showed the standard Solomon's knots and framing knots (around square mosaic panels) seen throughout the Roman empire, but the development of the distinctive interlace style didn't happen until around the 6th century A.D.  However, the triquetra is the simplest possible knot, so I'm not sure that it would require the full development of interlace style for its existence.  I'm going to remove all sweeping unsupported claims from that section... AnonMoos (talk) 08:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Pre vs. post-Christian

message: Adding in an unsourced bit about Wicca in the lede is undue weight. "Christianity and Polytheism" is enough for the lede; we go into more detail in the relevant sections. And if you're going to add that ahistorical stuff, it should at the least be sourced to something that is WP:RS and WP:V. Andy Dingley, please don't use misleading edit summaries. Discuss it here, don't just revert-war. - CorbieV☊ 16:34, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Undue weight issues in lede 

message: The section that introduces this article makes no sense. On Wikipedia itself it says The Mother, Maiden and Crone are aspects of The Triple Goddess, which dates back to Robert Graves in the late 19th and early 20th Century. It's not Ancient, Pre-CHristian Pagainism.
Do we have any soruce for this, OR that the Triquera ever represented "The Goddess", or even a triple goddess? 
In fact, I'd like to know if it ever represented Odin. What are the sources?
The only things I can ind suggest it was a Christian development, not a Pagan one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.87.206.190 (talk) 01:52, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Triple GOddess

message: Recently a user has been adding a lot of speculative and poorly referenced material to this article (, for example). What few references that are included are to blogs. I've reverted it once with comments pointing this issue out but it was just restored. I restricted my reverts to one revert per 24 hours, but this stuff needs to go (per WP:PROVEIT, WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, etc.). :bloodofox: (talk) 20:38, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
