thread_title: Attention

message: Hello, I was asked to protect this page by Matt Parlow, though I see there is a dispute I think there is no real need to protect the article.   Though there was an edit war here before, this hasn't happened for a week - so there is nothing to protect, unless a new one erupts.  Protection is meant as a temporary stop to ongoing edit wars so that a discussion can go on in a more civil way, nothing to support either side of an argument.   (And I'm not actually an administrator - so either way I can't protect it).  I haven't been involved with this article previously, so I will throw in my thoughts here in the hope that they will help resolve something. So here is what I see here:
*Wikipedia articles are meant to be 100% from other sources, otherwise it would be Original Research.  So use of external sources is actually required by policy.  Though of course this does not mean copying and pasting material - which is copyright violation.
*Hierophant did use some parts of sentences from his two sources.  I personally wouldn't have used language so similar to the original sources, but I don't see how this constitutes copyright violation (nor "plagiarism").  The whole article is not a straight out copy, even the phrases that Matt has mentioned are are not straight out copies - they are just roughly based on the original phrases.
::OK, then - copying and pasteing and not putting the copied text in quotes and, even worse, not giving the correct references - rather false ones - is definitvely plagiarism and forgery, not tolerated by any serious editorial policy.--Matt Parlow 03:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do not think - rather read carefully my statement above and the one on your talk pages. The warning on the top of article shall stay until the very cause for that warning still exists.--Matt Parlow 03:17, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outside view 

message: The song about golden apple, is typical example of Serbian epic poetry. Language, style, and structure are exactly as they are in Serbian epic songs. The song is written in "десетерац" which means that each line has exactly ten syllables. And btw there are no Bosnian folk songs that are treating this kind of theme.Uross 16:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I move a section which appears problematic here:
:The first source that definitely mentions a god named Perun is the Rus' Primary Chronicle, a history of early Kievan Rus.  Together with a god named Volos he is sworn upon in peace agreements between Slavic overlords and Byzantine emperors. Here he is mentioned as a god of war and nobility, who punishes oathbreakers with death in battle.
The primary chronicle was written in the 12th century, and instead of "Slavic overlords", it talks of Norsemen called Karl, Farulf, Vermund, Hrollaf, and Steinvith. This source (url removed) notes that Perun was presumably a translation of a Norse god from the Greek original. Most likely the Greek original used the name of a Greek god in that place, see Interpretatio graeca. Since the removed section is completely unreferenced, and I find it a bit off-topic to discuss the custom of Interpretatio graeca, I think the text should be removed until a working non-OR suggestion is provided for how to treat it in the article.--Berig (talk) 14:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Druga gađa pašu na dorinu,
Treća gađa svata šest stotina,
Ne uteče oka za svjedoka,
Ni da kaže, kako pogiboše"
This is certainly not a Croatian folk song!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.245.111.142 (talk) 01:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I was sure I'd already find references to Perun's inclusion in the comic book series Supergod, but seeing as this hasn't been done, it should be.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.255.175.17 (talk) 18:56, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Etymology again 

message: It is very interesting that the Varangian rulers in Slavic areas are reported to have worshiped Perun (Thor) and Veles (Freyr?). Pre-Christian cultures translated the names of the gods into the corresponding names of other cultures and languages, as in Interpretatio graeca and Interpretatio germanica. Maybe there should be an article named Interpretatio slavica?--Berig (talk) 16:28, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
