[edit] Sources
This article lacks sources, and is plainly not true. My edit calling for sources was reverted with an automated revert tool. That is not acceptable, hence I re-reverted. Arnoutf 17:24, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- If you don't agree with the article, tag it as being unsourced. Otherwise this is just another part of your edit war. --evrik (talk) 17:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry did so now. By the way the offical pass shows a pilgrims staff [1] that does not look in any way as the description here. Very good sourcs are needed. Arnoutf 17:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Check out this collection of images. There are many versions of the staff, but they all have thre cross piece. --evrik (talk) 17:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- No they all have some kind of hook (e.g. [2]) none of them have a cross that resembles the cross of St James. And more, these are not sources but WP:OR at best. Arnoutf 17:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- They don't all have the hook [3][4], though the hook is a type of pilgrim's staff. This website shows both together [5] [6] --evrik (talk) 18:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- The current line is The walking stick has a cross piece on it so it resembles the Cross of St James. However as you seem to agree that not even all sticks have a cross, this line has to be rewritten to The walking stick sometimes has a cross piece on it so it resembles the Cross of St James; however even this claim cannot be made, as from the pictures we only know it sometimes has a cross, but not why. So an additional source is needed to make the claim that the actual reason for the cross is the resemblence and not some other reason. Arnoutf 18:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I changed that as well. However, I left the fact tag on there. I'm running out of time today and will have to get back to this later. --evrik (talk) 18:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

- Please provide the source soon, otherwise I will delete the line, which is the only line linking it to the cross, so I will also remove the cross; if you do not provide the reference. Arnoutf 22:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
