A fact from Kukulkan appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 March 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the cult of Kukulkan, the Yucatec Maya feathered serpent deity, was the first Mesoamerican religion to transcend earlier linguistic and ethnic divisions?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/March.

Why do you guys always call them "cults"? Isn't that a little disrespectful to their religious beliefs? Ed Reynolds — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.45.120 (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Watkins and Wilson are not reliable sources

From Atlantis to the Sphinx is considered a fringe work and should not be used to reference this article. Watkins' work, a travelogue about hiking thru Norway, is similarly unsuitable to reference a work on a Mayan deity. Rather we should be using works by academics who have studied Mayan deities.

Reverting the entire page because you disagree with a reference is not an improvement. I'll do your job for you and revert to my previous edits minus the content you find objectionable. Ryan (talk) 13:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those earlier additions that were reverted were inaccurate in any event. Such as, confusing the Maya for the Aztec in the apocryphal myth of Cortes-as-returned-kukulkan/quetzalcoatl. The pop-culture ref could be lost without any detriment to the article, tho I realise it's a losing battle at times keeping too-trivial mentions out of articles like these.

As it stands this article mostly repeats modern generic (mis)conceptions, & is in need of an overhaul. Will look to at least add in some reliable refs, maybe also change the focus of the article to concentrate on postclassic/colonial-era Yucatec uses & mentions, since as a pan-Maya concept it would be largely redundant with other articles. --cjllw ʘ TALK 01:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrations: Serpents or Feathered Serpents?

Most of the pictures do not depict feathered serpents!77.162.130.139 (talk) 19:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is a separate Feathered Serpent (deity) article; this is an article about Kukulkan, however he/it may have been represented. All the images are relevant to the deity, even the Vision Serpent, from which it is argued that Kukulkan developed. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 19:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quetzalcoatl/kukulkan

There is too much disscusion over Kukulkan being of white decent not to include it in the artice —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yargotune (talk • contribs) 20:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kukulcan spelling

I think the article should be named "Kukulcan" instead of "Kukulkan", since this is the spelling used in most sources (see [1][2][3]). 26agcp (talk) 03:08, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
