Talk:Black Sun (symbol)

message: Feels weird for Sig runes to link to the Sowilō rune page. It's not historical to call that rune "Sig", that name came from Guido von Lists pseudo-rune book. 122.57.103.233 (talk) 04:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This is probably not the right place to propose a change but it seems plausible that something is off here. Sig Rune (capital R) redirects to Esoteric insignia of the Schutzstaffel while Sig rune (lower case r) redirects to Sowilō (rune). That's definitely weird and inconsistent. I'm wondering whether we need a disambiguation page listing Armanen runes, Sowilō (rune)#Relationship_with_Armanen_runes and Esoteric insignia of the Schutzstaffel?

replies: text: Ah, I see what has gone wrong here. Sig rune (lower case r) was redirecting to Sowilō (rune)#Armanen runes but that section was renamed so the link didn't find the specific section. I've fixed that. I still think the inconsistency is weird though and might need looking at. DanielRigal (talk) 11:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Nazi rune use should really be linking to an article specifically about this topic, particularly in cases like Von List's influential "Sig" rune. It's misleading to simply pipe a reader out to pre-Von List rune use, a huge topic reaching back to the first few centuries CE. :bloodofox: (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If you have a good idea for the best target for those redirects then by all means change them. Personally I don't have a specific opinion on what is best, as it is not an area I am very familiar with, except that both capitalisations should point at the same thing for consistency and, of course, that it should not be anything that adds an air of false legitimacy to Nazi claims.

thread_title:  Should "sig runes" in the first paragraph link to the Armanen Runes page?

replies: text: Yes it did, it was created for Himler's castle. Again (see talk page archive) the sun wheel and black sun are not the same symbol. Slatersteven (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That is like saying the fylfot and the swastika are different symbols. The Black Sun and the Sun Wheel are obviously born of the same image. Anichebesleftpeg (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ps. the link that you provided quite clearly states that they are interchangeable. Anichebesleftpeg (talk) 21:01, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I think lies and disinformation should be challenged. Applying the moniker "neo-Nazi" to any group that promotes ethnocentrism is childish. Anichebesleftpeg (talk) 06:22, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

message: The very first sentence of this article is completely false.
"The Black Sun (German: Schwarze Sonne) is a type of sun wheel (German: Sonnenrad) symbol originating in Nazi Germany and later employed by neo-Nazis and other far-right individuals and groups."
Just look up this one single article to find artifacts from 2000-3000 years prior to what this article says.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villanovan_culture
But I'm pretty sure you could find dozens of examples that are already unearthed and much much older than a hundred years.
Please make sure you don't simply call it as an invention of the 20th century. It is not accurete. 2001:4C4E:2C11:1400:9DF9:A671:3040:67AD (talk) 19:44, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We're not saying it's from the 20th century, reliable sources are saying it. Yes sun wheels have existed for thousands of years, even similar ones, but this particular styled one of the Black Sun is from the 20th century according to reliable sources.

replies: text: Do we need a FAQ? Slatersteven (talk) 13:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. I think so. I don't think it will put anybody off asking the same question over and over, as I'm pretty sure that most of the people asking it already know the deal, but it might help one or two people who are genuinely confused and it will definitely make it quicker and easier for us to deal with the question when it arises. The great thing about answering "Please read the FAQ" is that it quickly brushes off bad faith questions while pointing anybody who really was confused at the correct answer that they want. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:53, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
