Talk:Gog and Magog

message: It looks like there is an independent set of articles on Gog and Magog that all link to one another, but not to this English one. For example, here is the Arabic one. This other set of language-articles appears to be available in a total of fourteen (almost all Islamicate) languages. Curiously, both that set (that I just linked to the Arabic version of) and this set (that I'm writing in the talk page of) contain versions in Indonesian. They are, of course, separate articles. One (which links to the article that I'm writing on the talk page of right now) seems to be about Gog and Magog in the Judeo-Christian context, while the other (from the set of language-articles I linked to at the beginning of this post) is about Gog and Magog (i.e. Ya'jūj wa Ma'jūj) in the Islamic context. This also appears to be true of Russian Wikipedia.
What is the proper recourse here? Since the English language-article (this one) and the Arabic language-article (as well as many others in both sets of language-articles) cover both the Judeo-Christian and the Islamic versions, should we make them link to one another? Or should we take a cue from our comrades on Indonesian (and Russian) Wikipedia, spinning off a separate English article on the Islamic version of Gog and Magog?

message: This is problematic from a Jewish perspective as it implies continuity between the Tanakh and the "New Testament." From a Jewish perspective the Tanakh is not a "Judeo-Christian" text; it is a Jewish text. It would be better to have separate sections for what Judaism and Christianity each believe, with the Christian section obviously being free to reference its purported basis in the "Old Testament."

message: This looks to me like a really good article. If anyone is willing to take on the work, I think it could be raised to formal Good Article status.PiCo (talk) 10:03, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

message: I was puzzled by this paragraph;
'Researches of professors and philosophers such as Allama Muhammad Iqbal, Syeed Abul Ala Mawdudi, who played important roles in British and South Asian politics, and American academic Abu Ammaar Yasir Qadhi and Caribbean eschatologist Imran N. Hosein, compare the languages, behaviours and sexual activities of the tribes of Gog and Magog with those of Vikings.'
Is it really the case that Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Syeed Abul Ala Mawdudi were ever important in British politics? Is the writer just trying to inflate their importance?Dean1954 (talk) 19:03, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
