Nuit is also French for night.
- Not in English it isn't. This is the english language Wikipedia. Try raising that point on the french one
As to eternal Mother then this is probably the Mother Mary that catholics always pray to. Note that there is no mother by any other name.
- Not really, there is little similarity. Hathor has a much greater parallel, and Isis even more so. --Victim of signature fascism | help remove biblecruft 21:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nuit and Thelema
Nuit is a goddess of Thelema, a religion recognized by the US government, with tens of thousands of adherents around the globe. Several organizations recognize her as a Thelemic diety. She has a highly relevant position in the Thelemic canon. Please do not remove Thelemic references to her in this article. Thank you. Ashami 04:35, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like a name collision, which is a common-enough occurrence. I was already trying to comprehend the deletion, and was already thinking of copying the deleted text here for discussion. I think y'all need to discuss how this page can be shared, even though it started out as an Egyptology page. If Nuit & Thelema are discussed somewhere else, perhaps one of those "Nuit is also a term used in Thelema" entries at the top might be a good idea? Anyway, just my two cents.

- I've created Nuit (Thelema) and will let someone else sort out how to do the disambiguation. 999 05:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

- Fair enough. I consider myself outvoted. I'll create the disambiguation page. Ashami 05:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
Nuit (mythology) → Nuit … Rationale: should not have been moved, there are over 100 links to this page, 99% of which are intended for this page rather than the alternative, so disambig page is inappropriate … 999 08:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note on Hieroglyphic
The note on the Hieroglyphic is displaying at the top left of the article, between the dab and the first paragraph. That is why I moved it to the most logical secondary location, as I don't know how to make it display near the hieroglyph where it should. If you can figure out how to make it work, please fix it. Meanwhile, let's leave the note somewhere where it at least makes a litte sense. -999 17:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not possible to reference inside the hieroglyphics box, and I have not found any way to make it more clear that it is referencing the hieroglyphs. People linking on the lone cite should realize soon thereafter that it is for the hieroglyphs. Try looking at what I've done on Maàt, Ra and especially Djehuty. It's the only way I can think of, without adding extra text that makes note of the hieroglyphs.

You should be able to fix it using a div tag or a table or something, but I am just not up on exactly how to make little boxes on WP. The location of the superscript is not at all obviously associated with the hieroglyph, it just looks bad. Maybe there is someplace on WP you can turn for help with a formatting issue like this. Can we just leave it where it is until you find some help with it? It really needs a proper solution - I agree it should go with the hieroglyph somehow and I'm sure somebody on WP knows how... -999 19:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and by the way, I changed an Egyptian template and it moved most of the references to this article :-) So there are way less than a hundered now. I might even help you fix the rest if I have time. -999 19:48, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'll have to search around a bit then.

- I was informed that it was a known bug, and I interpret that as it cannot be fixed. I suggest we use the original format because it denotes that it is part of the hieroglyphs better by being separate from the text.
