[edit] Copyvios and inaccuracies

As noted in the recent AFD decision for the "Magick Astrology" article - which was an exact duplicate of this one before I cleaned it up - the material I deleted was not only inaccurate, but a copyright violation. Please do not attempt to re-insert it as it is a violation of Wikipedia policies. Thanks. --Kathryn NicDhàna 21:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mac, per the above, and per the sourced content in the article itself, your additions of "Tree Horoscope" lists, and links to quizzes and blogs are inappropriate. Please see Wikipedia guidelines on external links and verifiable sources. Please do not re-add them. Thanks. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna 22:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Needs Expansion

Do note that Celtic astrology has a lot to do with the archaeoastronomical monuments found in former Celtic lands; many of these monuments (like the pyramids and such) had astrological/religious purposes but also had astronomical purposes in that it helped to form calendars and such -- many are also observatories, etc. This article could be expanded massively. --WassermannNYC 23:07, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

But Astrology and Astronomy are not the same thing. We touch on the pre-Celtic monuments in the Celtic calendar article. Basically, I don't see this article being substantially expanded until the mss. in question are published. Though if someone wants to paraphrase or quote from the Ellis articles, that would add some more content. Perhaps I can get to that at some point, but I'm rather busy right now. In the meantime, this is already flagged as a stub, so folks can see it can use expansion. I don't think it needs the big banner up top, so I'm going to remove that one. - Kathryn NicDhàna 17:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
