[edit] Persistant problems
I managed to get rid of a lot of the POV problems, although many still exist. On problem is that the very title of this page (worship) is not accurate in all cases. Many of the examples are not true worship, but veneration (if even that much). I also fixed up the gross over-use of semicolons and modernized a lot of the names. As for accuracy, there's a lot of stuff I simply couldn't find info about. Mostly on the groups of people that are so obscure as to lack a Wikipedia article of their own. --Tydaj 00:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC) Also, I was surprised that no mention of Animism was made in this article. There is much to be said about the relation of these two subjects. --Tydaj 00:28, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "Hawk" god
According to the Firefly Encyclopedia of Birds, ISBN 1552977773, Singalang Burong is not a hawk but a Rhinoceros Hornbill. I haven't changed the article because I don't know whether that applies to the other gods mentioned under "hawk". —JerryFriedman 17:35, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Watership Down cult?
Does anyone have any information on the Watership Down cult mentioned in this article? Such a thing is difficult to believe, though not impossible. (I have heard of people believing The X-Files or The Necromicon are real.) Any references would be greatly appreciated Hiergargo 02:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reliable sources for the term dharmic religions?
Where are the reliable sources that use the term dharmic religions in the context of this article? Dharmic religions is a now deleted obscure neologism and should not be used throughout Wikipedia. Andries 15:55, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I propose to use the alternative phrase Indian religions. The number of google scholar results for "Indian religions"+"Indian religion" is (45.600 + 84.200) while it is only (492+475) for "dharmic religions" +"dharmic religion". See Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_September_8. Andries 19:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
