Talk:Star polygons in art and culture

message: This article was created following discussion on the Five-pointed star redirect, which used to point to Pentagram and now points here. See Wikipedia:Redirects_for_deletion#10_July. My suggestion had actually been to create a Five-pointed star article, but on reflection I felt that the distinctions between different types of stars are often blurred, and at least at first it would be more useful to create a single article that covered the ideographic and symbolic uses of this common device.

text: OK, explain why you would prefer an article named Five-pointed star rather than Star (symbol). If you disagree with my reasoning as stated above, explain why. I'm finding it really frustrating that you find so many disagreements with me, but don't state at the outset what your disagreement actually is. It's very hard to make any kind of progress in a debate if one party doesn't state their position, but merely says "I disagree", or "I don't like it". I'm happy to keep chatting as long as it takes to resolve this properly, but in my view this argument has become so surreal it's comical. I'm not trying to offend you, but I think you should realise how far we've drifted from a constructive debate. Lets get things back on line. Fuzzypeg☻ 02:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Creation of Star (symbol) article

message: I know there are other stars not listed. Namely 9 pointed. I may be mistaken, but can stars go from 3 points up to N+1? If this is the case, Can a little bit of info on these other stars be added?Septagram 04:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Ksstarandcrescent.gif

message: I tagged the article for improved referencing and lede rewrite.  There is no lede section, only a single sentence, which itself is unsatisfactory.  Clear in-line citations are needed throughout the text to clarify the ambiguous style of referencing present here.  There are also many assertions here that beg references and may be removed.  To remove all of these, however, would whittle this article down to a mere stub, and to pepper the article with Fact tags would render it virtually unreadable.  I will do what I can to help out with it, though I may not have access to many references at this time.  If anyone would like help with improving their citation tags, I would be happy to help.  To begin with, I would direct anyone less familiar with the citation templates used on Wikipedia to WP:CITE and WP:Citation templates.  I hope that helps.  Thank you.

thread_title:  Lede and referencing issues 

message: This article seems biased, especially the first paragraph of the section entitled "Five-pointed stars".  The phrase "and a symbol of mystical and magical significance" does not qualify itself to exclude the disbelief of mysticism.  Furthermore, the phrase "represented the ten tribes of Israel that broke away from the ruling class of Judah, Benjamin, and the Priests" does not reference any works or articles, but is dependent upon a knowledge of ancient literature.  Lastly, and most offensively, the phrase "which gave the symbol and evil demented meaning" (sic) indicates an opinion, especially that of a strong bias against satanism (in addition to it's typo).  These phrases do not seem to coincide with the spirit of Wikipedia as a "strictly the facts" resource. Justaguy0479 (talk) 03:40, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
