[edit] Welcome
Needs editing! Please take a look. Thanks.
[edit] Nymph types
Please review the article and the types of nymphs. There was ieimakid, which was moved to Leimakids, because it was typed with capital "I", a common source of confusion. Now because of wikispamming the web I cannot quickly verify any of them, so I leave this to the experts. Thank you, mikka (t) 22:52, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hamadryad
According to this list, the dryad is a subcategory/subspecies of the hamadryad. But the articles on dryads and hamadryads both say it's the other way around, that hamadryads are a type of dryad. Maybe it should be swapped here too. But I'm no expert on nymphs.
[edit] Alseid or Alpseid (or neither)?
The running text names "alpseids," but the sidebar lists "alseids." It looks like the spelling with P is a typo, since Google turns up no other occurrences of the word, and the main entry on them is Alseid. However, even that article is a stub, and a quick Web search didn't turn up much more on them, so I don't know if either spelling actually names a type of nymph. This needs a source and a correction.
[edit] Xanth
The area regarding popular fiction and stuff really needs a mention of Xanth. I'd put it in, but I'm lazy and stuff.
[edit] Foreign words - relevance?
Several Greek words, along with a Latin word and a German one, are defined in the article. All of this is very nice, but the relevance of these words in conjunction with nymph isn't clear. Are these terms alternate names for nymphs? Are they the roots from which the English nymph comes from What words come from "nymph"? --Badger151 11:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Quoting"
There are too many quotes; it is annoying running into them everywhere. Surely they can be paraphrased and their sources moved to footnotes? Inline citations further uglify the text. Brainmuncher 13:46, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Negligent nymph.JPG
Image:Negligent nymph.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
