text: Those references were great, exactly what was needed. If I were rewriting the article from scratch, I'd say you should cut all of the pop-culture stuff and focus on the various legends, perhaps with a "trivia" section that has all the alblums and crap below.

replies: text:  Yes those changes make a lot of sense and make it neater (which is always better). I still think the bulk of this really needs to be in the Skinwalker section - the Norse material really belongs in the Berserker section while the Skinwalker is a very specific type of shapeshifting witch amongst the Navajo, Hopi and Ute (all the sources, pop cultural references and links refer to this type). We could keep this section to link through to the other entries on people who wear skins to change shape but it is only one method amongst many and its not the process that is the key factor in most of these legends it is the end result.

message: There were too many disambig links at the top, breaking Wikipedia rules, so that a disambig page was needed for the three (soon, four probably) articles that have similar titles and did not disambig link to each other in the accepted Wikipedia pattern either. Since I thought that people are about equally likely to be looking for the legendary creature, the novel, or one of the two films, I decided that the name itself (Skin-walker) ought to be the disambig page. That's why the legendary creature article was moved, intact, to Skin-walker (mythology) instead of creating a Skin-walker (disambiguation) page.

message: Coming from the Four Corner's region myself, and having many Navajo friends, I'd like to note that it is also legend that if you talk about Skin-Walkers at night they are said to be around shortly, whether you are outside or inside. Though I moved from the area, i'm still scared as shit to say talk about them...or even see a movie based on them. -Ben-  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.166.83.213 (talk) 18:20, August 24, 2007 (UTC) 
I have been raised among navajos my whole life and whoever is saying that Skinwalkers cant be evil has been sadly mistaken. Like it says if you kill someone in high power of the tribe they can become skinwalkers and guess what they are very evil. I have acctually seen one with my own eyes and had proof of it. So say what you will about them but the one I saw sure looked like it wanted me for dinner. 1-08-08 Jessica Cross  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.35.110 (talk) 03:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
