Loki is not a god! What??? Why???
We have him down as a god all over Wikipedia! --[[User:AlainV|AlainV]] 23:34, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)


Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.
:To quote the writings on the article ''[[Loki]]'': "Loki is actually not a god at all, but a Jotun (the Titans and Gigantes of Norse mythology), although he mixed freely with the gods for a long time, even becoming Odin's foster-brother." You can call him a ''half-god'', I guess no one will object to that, but when you call him a god, that is just wrong. He is only allowed to stay in Ásgardur because, he is Odin's blood brother, for just that, you can't consider him a god, he doesn't even have a home in Ásgard like the "real" gods. If you can find me some references in EDDA for example, where he is actualy refered to as a god, I will eat my hat :)

My course in Old Norse is far away so I have to rely on translations into english instead of reading and understanding the original. And translations are not always faithful. Maybe you can enlighten me given that Icelandic is so close to old Norse: Remember when Thor and Loki journey to visit Utgard-Loki and that giant puts them through a series of trials whose reality he has hidden with his magic? At one point we are told: '''Asa Loki said, "I am most famous for my eating. Choose from among yourselves the one who can eat the most, and let us try our powers against each other."''' Now, did the translator add the "Asa" before Loki's name or was it in the original text? And if it was there, can we interpret it to mean "god" in the Norse sense of the term? If not, should other terms be considered more true, and thus correct references to Loki as a god? Swing-Loki would be more definitive? Or not? --[[User:AlainV|AlainV]] 01:52, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi everybody ^_^


Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
