Comment

Wow, this is like the least objective article I've read in ages! (unsigned)

While I did not make the above remark, I did add a few changes. First, I've corrected some grammar, style, punctuation, & capitalization errors and inconsistencies. Second, I've deleted the remark about the Book of Revelation being about the end times. The book does not explicitly claim to be an eschataological prophecy, and many people read it as a comment on the political situation of the time. I also removed this passage:

Tetramorphs exist throughout world-cultures. A mundane object such as a weather-vane (in its characteristation of the four quarters of the wind) can be said to be tetramorphic. The dice game of Ludo and playing-card game of contract bridge exhibit tetramorphic qualities, as does the string quartet in which four voice engage in dialogue within the confines of the four movement sonata structure

as it seems distracting.

I also removed this sentence

The Christian tetramorph is a good example of how syncreticism occurs in religious symbolism

as there is no support for it in the rest of the article. Syncretism is the melding of disparate beliefs or doctrines, not animals or symbols. Metatron the Tetramorph (talk) 19:47, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

I put a source tag on the article because it lacks secondary sources, per WP:reliable source. -- Malcolm Schosha (talk) 18:05, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge wth Living Creatures (Bible)?

The article Living creatures (Bible) covers the same concept. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:17, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Think not, for reasons there. This is clearly an art article. Four Evangelists duplicates some of it.In ictu oculi (talk) 04:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And there is duplicatory stuff on single Evangelist portraits that I think doesn't really belong here. Johnbod (talk) 10:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aimee Semple McPherson

Error on the page! The table claims the McPherson order has Luke as the man and Mark as the ox, while the description underneath it (under "4th scheme") says the opposite. I can't find a good source for either of these claims. 16tonweight (talk) 02:39, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
