Alcyone and Ceyx

It is NOT normally translated as Lucifer, please don't make edits saying it is. Not only was that sourced, se Phosphorus (morning star). Doug Weller talk 07:31, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be referring to the edit I removed. The current version of the page, which you have apparently restored, is the version you're objecting to. I clarified that "Lucifer" is the Latin name for the same god Billtanin (talk) 23:54, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Flood myth, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:31, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What I removed, which you have apparently restored, was a couple of paragraphs about Atlantis, which is totally unrelated to the topic of the page. Billtanin (talk) 23:56, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Billtanin I didn’t revert you, User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång did. I think it’s relevant. Doug Weller talk 05:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did too, that's why I reverted it. And the lack of ES. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, I'm not going to start an edit war, but it is totally irrelevant. The story of Atlantis has nothing to with any flood myth. Billtanin (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Doug Weller talk 07:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
