Cholq'ij

Are the edits that renamed the Tzolk'in to the Cholq'ij really appropriate? I think not. Just because one group of highlands Maya in Guatemala uses this name, we shouldn't rename it in the article. Tzolk'in is the standard name for this. Also the editor has messed up his edits, adding confusing and misleading information. I vote to change it back to Tzolk'in.

In reading this section, I see that it has much more information than it needs. Most of this should be moved to the separate Tzolk'in article. 14:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)Senor Cuete —Preceding unsigned comment added by Senor Cuete (talk • contribs)

Aw crap. When did that one sneak in? I'd reverted the changes they'd done to the Tzolkin article, but this got missed.

Clearly it's not appte for the anon to unilaterally decide to replace the most commonly applied term in the scholarly literature, with a term from one of the highland languages, favoured by new age mystics perhaps but not employed very much elsewhere. Agree their changes shld be undone, and that the Mayanism / modern divinatory usage bits should go elsewhere besides.--cjllw ʘ TALK 02:29, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Ps. Have commented out the Mayanism/divinatory section. If to be retained, shld prob not be in this article, but another more relevant. --cjllw ʘ TALK 02:40, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
