message: What is wrong with using deity or deities when speaking generically?

replies: text: You seem to be confused. 'The common nouns god and deity are synonyms in the English language. That doesn't change when the nouns are pluralized. The term god is also far more common than deity in the English language and it is probably for this reason that this term is used here. :bloodofox: (talk) 06:31, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

text: See linguistic prescriptivism. No one gets to decide what is 'correct' and 'incorrect' in the English language—certainly not an anonymous Wikipedia editor. Since you have no valid reason for these edits, they'll simply be reverted whenever they're made unless other corrective action occurs. :bloodofox: (talk) 16:51, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

text: Again, you seem to be confused. Both gods and goddesses are gods. Is English a second language for you? :bloodofox: (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

text: Then what you need is a standard English dictionary. Both gods and goddesses are gods. This is "correct" in so far that this is common English usage. Your personal, idiosyncratic preferences do not take precedent over standard English usage on Wikipedia. :bloodofox: (talk) 21:49, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

text: I'm done with this conversation. Until you have an argument why the original usage of "gods" on this article is inferior to "deities", I'm going to go ahead and assume you're trolling. As a result, you'll simply be reverted without further discussion anywhere you feel necessary to purge an article of the term "gods" in place of "deities". :bloodofox: (talk) 18:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi,
any particular reason that the toponyms from Norway are spelled with Old Norse or Icelandic ortography?
Like "Freysvǫllr" for "Frøysvoll", etc.? Seems like a back-formation. It isn't done with toponyms in Sweden, so why not keep it consistent?.

message: Hey Wikipedians,
Would it be worth adding a list of Kennings and alternate names for Freyr to this article? 
There are such lists on many of the other Norse deities' articles on here, and it feels like an omission not to have a list for Freyr, even if it would not be as long as some of the others.
Just a consideration.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:C83B:5300:71C2:608A:67B1:5F6B (talk) 20:01, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Recently an editor removed the word "battle" from the god's list of associations. We see Freyr associated with battle throughout the record, notably in the skaldic poem Húsdrapa (Freyr#Skaldic_poetry). :bloodofox: (talk) 19:34, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
