[edit] Oversimplification
This entire sentence is not only uncited but also over simplifies the diversity of Neopaganism: "Some Neo-Pagans have recently adopted Hathor as a goddess." Now if it had mentioned Kemetic reconstructionism, or something similar with cited sources maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. Xuchilbara 02:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
Would someone kindly provide a pronunciation of Hathor? Thanks! Robert K S 05:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- According to her Encyclopedia Mythica entry, it's "hat'hor". --Redeagle688 00:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect?
Meh redirects here. Is that needed? DemonThing 06:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes, its a name she was known under. It is one of the various transliterations of the various spellings of the Egyptian word for beloved. --Victim of signature fascism 22:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
What about the 'Meh' used as an interjection? pixels 18:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism?
Isn't this considered vandalism?
(This has made certain readers believe that the sun god was extremley perverted, which may be true)
under Fertility Goddess.
- I removed "She was beautiful i miss her vagina around my cock" from the article. This was posted from IP 76.0.31.207. This is a clear case of Vandalism. --Damnedmage 11:36, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hathor in article
Hi I would like to use certain parts of this Hathor article in an article that possibly will be published in an academic bulletin. I used certain parts, but I also found out other sources on which this article is based in Wikipedia (for instance Bleeker 1973: Hathor and Thoth and Pinch 1993: Vorive offerings to Hathor.
Should I refer to Wikipedia beside my own "official" references?

[edit] Questionable statement
"Adherents of Ganesh at his Dublin shrine firmly believe Hathor to be the elephant god's arch enemy." Not only is this unsourced, but the whole underlying idea of it, considering that Ganesh is a Hindu god, makes me wonder if it should be treated as outright vandalism. --Redeagle688 00:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed a part that said that as a goddess of fertility she "readily strips naked", which seems totally innapropiate and might have come from someone who laughs nervously at the mention of "fertility".
