Talk:Orion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I like this set-up. The mythical figures and the constellations really are linked and should be on the same pages. --mav
Well, for something like Orion, I would agree with you. Hercules and Perseus, not necessarily. Andromeda for me would be a borderline case. - Montréalais
I disagree, the constellation Orion and the mythological Orion are completely different things connected by only a single tenuous association. Throughout the rest of Wikipedia, astronomical objects which share a name with a mythological entity have separate articles; I would expect the same here. Indeed, the mythology portion of this article is already located under a different header in this current article, not really merged so much as appended to it. Bryan
[edit] Philip Glass - Orion
I edited the entry for Orion by Philip Glass because it was in 2004 not 1994. Perhaps this was an act of vandalism? Regardless, it's fixed now and I cited the source. I've never cited sources on disambiguation pages before, but I didn't see anything at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) specifically prohibiting the practice.
