tone and style of article just a passerby and not a wikipedia editor per se however i felt compelled to leavea comment regarding the tone and style of the article it suffer from sounding very personal and has a tone of what one would expect a non scholar explaining something in emphatic language the overabundance of quotation marks is one symptom but there are other such as the for the benefit of europeans which takes away from the neutral tone an encyclopedic article i'm not an expert on the subject in fact i know very little about it which is why i came here but even to me it would be better if the page instead sourced a number of published treatises works on the subject instead of going into a quasi emotional and ambiguous personal essay style on the subject it sounds to me like the article attempts to unite the various concepts and make it as culturally vague and generalized and acceptable as in lacking cultural ritual and mythical specifics that would make different versions more characterized as possible and this makes the article sounds a little dare i say new agey for lack of a better term i think more people would appreciate more specific mythic instances and rituals that specifically dealt with the great spirit mystery and also those that established important differences between various views on the subject as one would expect from proper research if those are available as opposed to the currently rather watered out explanation as this is a very interesting subject i'm looking forward to seeing how the article develops best of luck
