message: Why does this page have a see also to Week?  The two subjects don't seem connected on any level other than dealing with groups of seven, and we don't have a link to the seven dwarfs either. Vashti 07:53, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

message: There are a few that use a heptagram in their logo. If they were internationally known (i.e. Maersk), maybe, it would be note worthy, but WP should not be used for a method of advertisements. My company uses a heptagram and do not believe it should be included in WP until it does something significant.Septagram (talk) 01:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikipedia should not be an advertisment 

message: From the article: "The heptagram is also used in Christianity to symbolize the seven days of creation and became a traditional symbol for warding off evil, thus the reason that most sheriff's badges are first heptagonal shaped."
Other than speculation, does anyone have actual authority for the two assertions here?  The first being that sheriff's badges bearing a heptagonal shape are so, because it is a traditional symbol for warding off evil, and the second being that "most sheriff's badges are first heptagonal shaped."  The 7 point badge is used more out West, but in the Midwest, South, and New England, 5 and 6 point badges are much more popular, or even shields.  For example, one of the first sheriff's offices in the U.S. uses a 6 point badge: http://www.firstsheriff.com/  
Seems this is merely speculation by someone who lives in a jurisdiction where the sheriff has a 7 point badge. 69.135.185.154 (talk) 00:10, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sheriff's Badge 

message: I recently removed math information (reverted by User:Septagram) because, so far as I know, mathematicians don't use the word "heptagram". It isn't used in Coxeter "Regular Polytopes", which is the standard reference. Looking on the web, it is in Mathworld but the vast majority of references are occult or "New Age". It's an obvious coinage similar to "pentagram" (which Coxeter does mention) but that too is mainly an occult symbol (all the OED references are occult). Neither Heptagram (nor Septagram) are listed in the OED so I think it's a fairly new coinage, or perhaps just a confusion with heptagon. So I'd like to remove the math information from here, though there should be a prominent link to heptagon which obviously covers the math stuff. However, given his username User:Septagram may be more of an expert on this than I am. Regards. Dingo1729 (talk) 17:11, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should Math information be in this article? 

message: I moved this section below from the article. I figured better to keep it here. There's unlimited potential references, and I don't know any good reason to reference every possible usage. The only clear use I can see if they represent unique occurance of interesting geometric variations. If other article reference heptagram on Wikipedia, they can be found from Special:WhatLinksHere/Heptagram. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 The seven-pointed star included in the Kingdom of Pentorotise flag, is also the symbol for medical emergency response.
added by the single-edit user 72.162.8.230. Google returns zero hits for "Pentorotise," and the other is questionable too.

message: I recall reading a book on Chaos Magic that mentions the 7 pointed star (7/3 specifically) within a circle as the Chaos Star. Havent been able to find a online reference for it but Im sure someomes got better Web-Fu than I.98.112.131.150 (talk) 21:12, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
