Geographic pole

From the lead: "As the celestial pole and geographic pole, it expresses a point of connection between sky and earth where the four compass directions meet." Maybe sounds good and poetic, but the geographical pole doesn't represent the connection between sky and earth, is not a point and along its axis meet just north and south not the 4 compass directions. The celestial pole, do represent the points of connection between sky and earth but not between east and west. IMHO the lead would be much better without this sentence. --Dia^ (talk) 06:50, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Middle Earth

The supposed occurrences in Middle Earth were utterly wrong. This motif may exist in Tolkien's writing, but Orodruin is *not* it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.228.15 (talk) 22:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

I've rated this as a C because it needs more diverse and accessible references- mainly relies on one at the mo. Sticky Parkin 02:32, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Tagged for cleanup

This is an {{essay-entry}} with a full section of unreferenced listcruft. The topic is important, but it needs to be treated as a concept in comparative mythology in Eliade's school, and the presentation must be entirely based on Eliade's works and their later reception. People don't come here (I hope) for random waffling, there is the blogosphere for that. They come here for a concise overview of the literature on the topic. From a quick review, it appears that the literature begins with Eliade, c. 1954, but if there is earlier material (from Frazer, Jung, etc.) of course it should be included (with explicit references). --dab (𒁳) 13:02, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
