Requests
[edit]I've noticed that you have added many requests to the Mythology section of the requests page. After going through many of these, I have noticed that several are definitley non-notable, while others do not seem to exist at all. Could you please leave at least one link by each request to help get other editors started. Also, it would certainly help if you created some of these pages yourself. Thank you, Kivar2 (talk) 17:43, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
- All are (or were) on one of the non-English equivalents to the List of legendary creatures. I added them to Requested Articles rather than starting the pages myself in the hopes of bringing them to the attention of editors familiar with the languages in question, since I couldn't determine if they were notable myself. I'll work on adding links to the non-English articles in question. Pfhreak (talk) 23:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- This is done. All creatures in question have articles in the Dutch, French, German, or Italian Wikipedias. Pfhreak (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Please read this article. Despite the looseness of English, being in Category:Greek mythological giants requires more than large size: neither Orion nor Talos were earthborn or serpent-footed. A sub-category Category:Gigantes and a note of explanation at the present cat seems the simplest solution. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have already read Gigantes. The English word "giant", despite descending through a complicated route from the Greek "gigantes", has become the generic term for superhumanly-large humanoids. I'm not sure if User:Fordmadoxfraud intended Category:Greek mythological giants to contain all giants or just gigantes, as there are no notes of any kind. I noticed that there was a category for Greek giants and moved the Greek giants into it. Adding Category:Gigantes makes sense to me, as Category:Cyclopses and Category:Titans already exist. For me the best organization would be: Category:Greek mythological giants, or Category:Greek giants by analogy with Category:Norse giants, as a subcategory of Category:Giants, then Category:Cyclopses, Category:Gigantes, and Category:Titans as subcategories of Category:Greek mythological giants/Category:Greek giants.

- Cyclopes, if you don't mind. Let us use the correct plurals where English recognizes them.
- Again, I didn't make or name the category, I'm just reporting what exists. Looking at the revision history for Category:Cyclopses and Category:Cyclopes, it looks like there's been some disagreement about which is preferred, so you'll probably want to start a discussion on the proper name on the talk page for the category. Pfhreak (talk) 22:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Category:Norse giants is also made up of a single race of creature, not a mixture; Hygelac and Harold Hardraada were tall beyond normal mankind, but they are not in the cat. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Depends on if you count bergrisar, eldjötnar, and hrímthursar as all being part of the same race. Some of the stories treat them as three different races of giant beings, especially the eldjötnar, as they have a special role in starting Ragnarök. Similarly, cyclopes, titans, gegeenes, gigantes, and hecatonchires are all separate races of Greek giant. As for "giant" in the sense of unusually tall human vs. "giant" in the sense of mythical giant humanoid, "___ giant" categories are understood to be subcategories of mythical giants, while Category:People with gigantism covers the former.

- Cyclopes, if you don't mind. Let us use the correct plurals where English recognizes them.
Hi, would you be so kind as to give us support!
[edit]Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I've just read your profile and I saw that you're a learned and open-minded person deeply interested in reading, discovering culture, and improving your knowledge on diverse matters, so I suppose you know very well what are a minorized language and culture and maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I'm a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to this moment because Catalan is not supported by a state even though our Association is working real hard. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Capsot (talk) 20:48, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
