message: The edit by 69.158.166.216 not only seemed to have a highly incongruent writing style (which I could, and was sorely tempted to, fix), but its contents seem completely out of place. What do other Wikipedians think? Should we just fix it, or do we move the affected section elsewhere, or revert that edit entirely? —cky 08:49, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)

message: It's good to mention Cupid and Psyche (maybe), but Apuleius can't really be called the first attestation. CaveatLector 19:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cupid and Psyche 

message: Nothing about Cupid in modern culture? Shouldn't there be a blurb about Cupid on Valentine's cards, in cartoons shooting random people with love arrows, etc.?
* Notation of the song "Stupid Cupid" should be changed from Mandy Moore to the original performer.
I think that "Cupid" as a Holiday Character should have it's own article.

replies: text: I have started the article about Cupid (holiday character) and appreciate any efforts to elaborate or improve it. It's far from perfect, but it's a start. I'd really love it if someone could put up an illustration. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amyanda2000 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cupid in pop culture 

message: Cupid is often featured with his eyes blindfolded. I'm not sure if this is meant to symbolize the "blindness" of love? If someone knows for sure, it would be nice to put it in the article.
*Actually, that is inaccurate.  Cupid is very rarely depicted as 'blindfolded' in this fashion. CaveatLector 23:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: In many paintings cupid is depicted with a small penis, shouldn't this be added to the article of artwork?
:Most or all classic Greek and Roman art also depicted this. --PixieDragon (talk) 04:10, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Cupid & Penis

message: I came to this page searching for the facial feature known as Cupid's Bow. There is no mention of it, but it's on the Cuipd disambiguation page.

message: I suggest an external link section with reference to Cupid.com, an online dating site. I am associated with that site so am not linking it myself.

replies: text: Thanks for bringing it to the talk page.  Unfortunately, I don't see how it would fit under external links guidlines, as it does not have strong relevance to the article other than the name.  --TeaDrinker 16:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggested external link 

message: When you search CUPID on Google this is the first thing you see, but it is very short. Because of this I will conduct reaserch and complete this article with all your sugestions, from cupid and psyche, to cupid pop culture. If thousands are to see this article for valentines day, it must be good.

message: The first two sections of this are contradictory. Is Cupid the son of Mars or of Mercury?Barry Tilton talk, mail 12:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know Cupid's is often not mentioned, but maybe someone could provide a good citation to say otherwise. --PixieDragon (talk) 04:17, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Also, while someone is researching this, IF Cupid "is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the god of war Mars," then shouldn't this be mentioned on both Venus' and Mars' pages?  (I ran across a clue for the 3/12/23 NY Times' acrostic "Son of Venus and Mars" and checked Wikipedia's pages for both and found no Cupid.) BlueIris2 (talk) 18:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

message: I saw that Cupid was a sign of pedophile love back in ancient Greece. If that is true, why isn't it up here? --Akemi Loli Mokoto (talk) 06:23, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
