Talk:Yog-Sothoth

message: Does this really mean "There is no peace at the gates" in Arabic?  I feel a little uncomfortable with the reference as it stands, because it's not actual scholarship--it's color for a role-playing game, which for all we know may have been made up out of whole cloth.  I do not think it is a serious suggestion that Lovecraft derived the name from an Arabic phrase. Nareek 13:09, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. I just noticed that the alleged translation had been put there without attribution and hoped that citing the source might clear it up slightly. But yes: it might be Arabic, it might not; the essay in question doesn't actually confirm it one way or another.  If it is Arabic, then it's probably a back-formation. Any Arabic speakers able to clear that up? Phil Smith 05:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure about 5th edition but according to 6th edition "Yaji Ash-Shuthath" translates to "The abnormal ones (things, times?) are coming" while "There is no peace at the gates" seems to be the english translation of "Ny har rut hotep". Legiodes 18:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I speak an arabic dialect, and although I'm not an expert of classical Arabic, I can tell : Actually, neither "Yaji Ash-Shuthath" or "Ny har rut hotep" are Arabic... Siebharrin 14:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is Yog-Sothoth the terrible creature that caused the main protagonist of ATMOM to lose his mind? --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 20:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, that's a shoggoth, clearly a similar made-up word but distinguished in the story.--Yunuswesley (talk) 01:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Yog-Sothoth plays a major role in the mythos-based ARG, Eldritch Errors.  Is that worth mentioning on this page?

message: The conjuring of Yog-Sothoth by the character played by Dean Stockwell in the brilliant, campy 1970 Film The Dunwich Horror, was one of the greatest moments in campy horror. If you were hip in '70 you loved this movie and the Yog-Sothoth conjuring was the high point of a really freaky movie.
Let's be honest, Lovecraft is the essence of camp and tortured prose, but that's what makes Lovecraft great.

message: Since most of the other Outer Gods have pictures in their articles, i'm going to add one of Yog-Sothoth to his article.  If anyone finds a picture that they feel is better, feel free to discuss it.  I am currently awaiting permission to use a very awesome image for him.--Webspidrman 05:20, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to propose a change to the picture to one that fits the worded description of Yog Sothoth being made of "spheres" better and that's used by Chaosium and Fantasy Flight.--68.40.190.127 (talk) 13:02, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I think the current image is actually of his 'purer' son from The Dunwich Horror described as being made of 'ropes', and the rest of the image may well be the hill from that story. There are many different sphere designs and though I do like the ones of 'eyes' I find something similar to this may be more appropriate. 140.203.246.3 (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Regardless of whether or not a new image is used, I think this image should be removed as it is misleading due to looking nothing like descriptions of Yog-Sothoth, and am doing so. I've seen people who don't know any better take this page's image at face value and that isn't right. 121.115.127.181 (talk) 05:44, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I made an effort to find reliable sources that discuss Yog-Sothoth. Unfortunately, there are not many that are not already in the references section. It doubtful that this article could be improved beyond its current state. Furthermore, the majority of this article is plot-related information; there is little analysis of Yog-Sothoth's real-world significance. ―Susmuffin Talk 23:02, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
