Talk:Cupid (holiday character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I started this article because I felt that it was needed as "Cupid" used in the sence of a holiday character--which I think is probably the most common modern usage-- is quite different from the cupid of mythology, even though of course it is derived from that source.
I am still fairly new to this process and am learning (there seems so much to learn!) as I go, so I would like to appologize for any errors, mistakes and things I just plain forget to do. (On hindsite I see that I never did site any references for which I appologize).
I do believe that this is an important article (not "important" on the level of world affairs or anything, but certainly worthwile) and i have every faith and confidence that the team of excellent editors here will be able to improve where I have been flawed. As i said, I am learning... mostly from my mistakes... but I do hope that I am making a postive contribution here. amyanda 19:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)amyanda2000
- No problem. We all learn the ins and outs of Wikipedia by doing. Be bold, as it said. The purpose of my template addition was to point out possible issues with the article. In addition to adding references like the template suggests, you could perhaps try to coordinate this article with the main Cupid article, to avoid contradictions and overlap, and possibly draw more editors to work on this article. The main Cupid article doesn't attribute any statements either, so there is work to be done there, too. Dancter 19:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Illustration
If anyone has an illustration that they could put up, that would be great. I think something iconic, w/ pink and red hearts in the background would be best... a "traditional" depiction. thanks. amyanda 20:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)amyanda2000
[edit] Merger
oppose- I think that cupid as a holiday character is a different article. It is in a category with holdiday characters (an article about a mythical god would not belong there). I think that this Cupid is quite different from the other Cupid and deserves his own page, not just a mention at the bottom of a mythology article.
I forgot to sign my comment. Also want to add that Saint Nicholas is it's own article and is not merged with Santa Claus. I think this is a similer example.
