message: Egyptian texts talk of the 10th planet at the crossing in the heavens- thus symbolically represented as a cross,  NASA talks of new planet X discoveries, no reference has been made to the interpretation of the circle of the ankh representing the planet, and the cross for where the planet can be found in the heavens. 
There is also references to the holders of ankhs being divinely special, genetically  unique and different, hence only a few were privileged to carry the symbolism, which would have indicated they were of the source planet Nibiru (planet X). The special symbolism of ankh's only made in gold is also consistent with the writings of the 10th planet requiring, or in search of the metal substance, gold.

message: Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone.  Articles were selected based on their assessed  importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Egyptian Religion articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.  As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.  Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

message: There is now a proposed general Manual of Style for Religion and other articles relating to ethoses or belief systems at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style. Any input would be welcome. I personally believe at least one of the reasons why many articles in this field have been as contentious as they have been is because of lack of such guidelines, and would very much welcome any input from others to help come up with some generally acceptable solutions to some of these problems.

message: I noticed that the Mummification article was tagged as top-importance by your group so I thought I would stop by and let you know about the overhaul I am conducting on that article. I recently rewrote and expanded the section on Egyptian mummification if you would like to take a look and tell me what you think. -- Saint Soren (talk) 13:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The section looks to me like a decent overview. Thanks for improving the article. A. Parrot (talk) 19:00, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I just finished up the overhaul of the entire article and submitted it for GA review. Hopefully it'll get reinstated before the sun goes supernova or something. -- Saint Soren (talk) 11:05, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: These are definitely OR. There's no well-supported connection between any Egyptian god and a Hindu one, let alone a Manipuri one, and I think I can safely say that the Etruscan god Tinia never had a Manipuri equivalent. I think I've undone all the remaining edits of this type—even the equivalents between Manipuri and Hindu deities, because they're unsourced—and I'll keep an eye on that account. Pinging  and , who also undid some of these edits. A. Parrot (talk) 18:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

text: My only relevant area of expertise is Greek mythology. I can only speak (and evaluate sources) from that side of the fence. There are obviously well established "equivalents" between Greek and Roman gods (via the Interpretatio graeca). And there are certainly significant "connections" between the Greek gods and the gods of other cultures (e.g. Etruscan, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, etc.), but I don't think that these connections particularly extend to Hindu deities, or to Manipuri, and in any case, I doubt that such connections often rise to the level of being described, in reliable sources, as true equivalents. But, as always, we can let the sources speak for themselves. Paul August ☎ 19:03, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Clearly OR. Will keep an eye on them too, and report in case they pretend to play deaf. If it were up to me, I would remove the "equivalent" entries from the infobox; if a certain equivalence do exists and is supported by reliable sources, then mentioning that into the article text should be enough. However, this is not the place to discuss that. Khruner (talk) 19:56, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I would also remove those entries from the infobox (among other things). Paul August ☎ 20:24, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
