Then don't read it, and return back to the articles with Torah & Bible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.182.52.52 (talk) 21:31, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Translating my article from Polish Sławobóg (talk) 15:12, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sławobóg.
While I love the work you've done with this article, it has helped me immensely, I have a couple of points of contention.
The words "perhaps as the supreme god" in the first sentence; and the section on Boris Rybakov.
I think these in conjunction may mislead some people.
You yourself in the revision history page mentioned that the supreme god theory was just creation of Rybakov that modern scholars reject. I've confirmed this on my end.
The russian version of this article and the english article for Rybakov both mention that his theories "have been heavily criticized as far-fetched".
The whole notion that he was a "supreme god" in "pre-Christian religion" just doesnt seem tenable. The word "perhaps" in there seems to do a whole of heavy lifting that is not supported by the sources. It might make believe readers that the "supreme god" notion is much older than it actually is. Specially with other pages on the internet that say the same thing uncritically.
I think the "supreme god" aspect should be mentioned later in the opening paragraph, as a modern interpretation by Rybakov and current Rodnovers.
And the section on Boris's theories should include more explicit mentions of his criticism under his section heading.
I would add them myself but I wanted to mention them here first, to you, as to not start an edit war; since you clearly care a lot about this topic. Potionem (talk) 03:31, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Potionem Hey, I know that. That was my first article ever and it is not very good. I'm working on new one and it will be done in few days. Sławobóg (talk) 08:35, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Looking forward to it! Potionem (talk) 14:26, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I was busy with IRL stuff and a little bit of Wiktionary, but I'm back to work now. Sławobóg (talk) 16:49, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
