message: The Old Slavic word for sun - слъньцє, is in the neuter, just like in Serbian - сунце, and in Russian - солнце, and by no means in the feminine gender. Apart from that, why is this article named according to the Polish spelling of name this goddess, with that -rz-, and not with a name more close to its original appellation in Slavic, like Morana or Morena?

message: Why is there no information on her role as a vegetation goddess? She was equally important to the vegetation cycle as Jarilo.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.23.30 (talk) 17:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The original etymology of the name contains r. I therefore find the variants Maržanna and Maržena very suspicious. The Polish variant Marzanna is indeed written with the diagraph rz, which is the modified continuant of r, but this Polish diagraph does not contain any diacritic and there should not be any ž. Are there any sources for the variants Maržanna and Maržena in any Slavic languages?--Poltecatl (talk) 22:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of variants 

message: Is there a particular reason why the variant Marzanna should be the name of the article? Judging by a quick Google Books search for the names given in the lead, it may be the least common in English literature. It also seems to be the most complicated spelling for an English-speaking reader. Surtsicna (talk) 11:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

message: An editor has repeatedly inserted Cethlenn ino the infobox as an Irish equivalent of this article's subject, with edit summaries
*"The tradition of Cethlenn having drowned in a river and Marzanna having been drowned in a river according to her cultic practice isn’t indication?"
*"Any lack of critical thinking and basic comparison skills from a random user are also unsubstantiated as well. Study Irish mythology and look at Cethlenn’s role in the mythology. Short sightedness is acceptable but closed off stupidity isn’t."
*"There doesn’t need to be support, only common sense and logics applied here."
Wikipedia's policy Wikipedia:No original research does not allow for such deductions and applications of "common sense". If it is so obvious, then reliable sources should be easy to find. Without them, this claim of equivalence is unsubstantiated andf cannot remain. NebY (talk) 13:50, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
