Also a factor that's significant

I am quite Saddened to find yet another near full omission of physical characteristics. Wikipedia folks, strive to give credit to your fellow mankind regardless if their background, religion and/or culture differs from your preferences. History was what it was! It is a gross disservice to share or so-called pay respect to anything or anyone that you have censored or simply placed favor and disfavor on what you have intended to ultimately present. These prestigious and highly intelligent people left depictions that are entirely absent from this "civilization" information. As for the one's that I am referring to in particular, allow me to put it this way to be cordial - Instead of allowing readers to be in the dark on this, readers will most certainly be in the light. As I browse "other" civilizations, ambiguity in regard to physical appearance is often not an issue. My fellow man and woman, we need to finally be sophisticated enough to give glory to any and all for their contributions to the world (whether intended or realized; understood or confusing). Let there be dialog without taint. Old practices and approaches too often ignored factors that rendered others oblivious to other cultures and religions, and in-turn, led not only to misconceptions, it has led to atrocities. That's significant. Let's begin to be better. 104.172.43.218 (talk) 19:27, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Please look at my topic about Mayan civilization. 92.2.211.113 (talk) 17:35, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Maya civilization

The Maya civilization people are Mesoamerican there religion is Maya they believe in supernatural stuff like ghosts or even Medusa the Greek goddess basically it is mythology they think that if they pray it will come to this world 🌍. One man prayed for a mermaid and it came true. Some people believe that this is all fake no one knows if this is true in history because we don't have full evidence 🧾. 92.2.211.113 (talk) 17:23, 19 May 2023 (UTC) I tried my best to add my research in.

please fix this grammar bro 71.248.189.43 (talk) 13:13, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Long-hidden ruins of vast network of Maya cities could recast history

Specifically, change the word "Mayan" to "Maya". "Mayan" should ONLY be used when related to the language spoken. The word "Maya" is Singulare Tantrum similar to the words "fish" and "deer" in English. Please see this link for an explanation:

A simple find and replace (with the exception referring to the language itself) (although the last capital of the Maya in Mayapan, Yucatán don't even pluralize it to refer to their language) should be done. Gato Bello (talk) 19:40, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: I see no instances of "Mayan" in the article that are not referring to the language. Tollens (talk) 21:05, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps someone changed it. Thanks Tollens. Gato Bello (talk) 00:41, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think anyone changed anything; I can't see any point in the last year when 'Mayan' was used incorrectly in the article. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your second comment. Tollens (talk) 00:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

No worries, I'm sorry for being a noob on Wiki. I just pasted what I saw where it reads:

"Please look at my topic about Mayan civilization. 92.2.211.113 (talk) 17:35, 19 May 2023 (UTC)"

I didn't write that; it was on the page. In any event, I'm sorry to waste your time, Tollens. I'm honestly learning my way around Wikipedia/Wikicommons and the difference or relation between both. Besides it's not the end of the world if someone writes "Mayan" I suppose. Gato Bello (talk) 00:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I see – people are free to make errors in their comments on Talk pages since they don't need to be up to the standard of publication, and it's generally considered inappropriate to edit others' comments as it can be irritating to them. Don't worry about "being a noob" or wasting my time – I and others are perfectly happy to help, and everyone has been new at this before! Tollens (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Wow, I really appreciate your response. That was very kind of you. I'll keep learning and I'll learn the difference between "talk" pages and so forth. Really, thanks again, you made me feel welcome. Gato Bello (talk) 01:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Maritime trade

I realized after trying to add a Nav template about maritime activities to the footer section here, that maritime trade is not covered at all in this article, as Gawaon rightly pointed out. Certainly seems like this is a sufficiently important subtopic which ought to be covered in summary form in a brief section here, likely under the § Trade section, with a {{Main}} link to Maritime trade in the Maya civilization. For the time being, I've added the Nav template to the other article; maybe that's sufficient as far as the Nav is concerned. Hopefully someone here will pick up the baton and add a summary about maritime trade to this parent article. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 06:56, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
