Talk:Wolves in folklore, religion and mythology

message: This article, though it satisfactorily explains the history and evolution of attitudes toward wolves in North America, needs more input form Asian and European sources who know a thing or two about how and why wolves were treated the way they were several hundred years before the pilgrims crossed the pond and brought their inbred notions with them. Other sections similar to the ones written already would be helpful if anyone is knowledgeable regarding the history of the gray wolf in Eurasia. -GrittyLobo441 02:49, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I started the section on "Early perceptions of wolves in North America" and got through the first paragraph before the obvious agenda became to much. I thought it was a simple little twist in wording that was mistaken and forgivable. But the "With few vouching for them, wolves and other predators were destroyed en masse, resulting in a so-called "hunters' paradise" free from competing predators. To accomplish this, there was no limit to the extent hunters and trappers were willing to go in order to kill predators in large numbers." No one editing WP is far removed enough to make this sort of statement without revealing a bias, whether the readers here prefer it or not. It may not be intentional, but this phrasing comes off with a self-righteous sneer when I read it. Please re-write this to something less sanctimonious. 24.250.247.160 18:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Wolf is an important figure in the Turkish mythology. In the Ergenekon Legend, a grey wolf shows the way to Turkish warriors when they lost their way in the iron mountain. After reaching to the spets of Central Asia, Turks defeat invaders and take the control of the motherland again. Because of this legend, grey wolf is the center animal figure in Turkish history.

message: Where's India on this thing? You know, the place where wolves have killed children in double digit numbers as recently as the 90's. How do they feel about that?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.98.223.97 (talk) 00:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The "Attitudes Towards Wolves" page got moved to here, according to the logs, and yet there's no trace of anything that was in the "Attitudes Towards Wolves" page (except maybe a few religious details), so essentially the page just got deleted for no reason, and can't be restored, even.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dusk Raven (talk • contribs) 03:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

message: So, on this page it says Asena is the name of the blue-maned wolf, yet, on the actual Asena page it says Asena is the name of the boy that the wolf saved... Which one is correct? ItsWolfeh (talk) 11:33, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is Hinduism categorized as a mythology while Christianity and Islam are considered religions?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.230.142 (talk) 12:19, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Are wolves directly involved in Hindi religion or just part of the mythology? That's my understanding for the seperation GimliDotNet (Speak to me,Stuff I've done)  13:27, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: you cannot treat religion and mythology as separate. There is no religion without mythology, and no mythology without religion. The division is not necessarily "disrespectful" but it is certainly misguided. I rearranged the toc, but obivously I cannot turn a crappy article into a good article just by rearranging text. --dab (𒁳) 14:16, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
