Talk page guidelines

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Hades are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 13:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Hades for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 13:53, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Rev. Dan Clark, I see you've re-added or re-edited the section removed by others from Talk:Hades. You sincerity is beyond doubt, but please read the links above for guidance on what counts as acceptable content at talk-pages. Wikipedia is based on scholarly sources, and wikipedia editors use the terminology of those sources without favour to any particular WP:Point of view. Please see also WP:Truth.

What's NOT acceptable TALK is listing God as being a some type hellish creature. I'm not being cruel to any one, I'm being honest. God was not and is not and won't be hellish and therefore "of hell" and therefore "of the underworld" because God was and is and will be "of heaven" because God was and is and will be Holy. Do you finally get it? It's better to write "Hades of the Underworld" to describe Hades and/or the Underworld rather than insult God. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rev.

I saw your discussions that got you blocked for trolling objecting to use of the word god for the early Greeks deity Hades. The English word god can mean anything that is worshipped by anyone, regardless of whether or not it is actually holy. It is probably just a form of the name of Gaut, a Germanic deity or possibly tribal chieftain whom few now would regard as holy. God with capital G may be used in English to refer to the deity worshipped by Abraham Isaac Jacob etc. but it is unlikely to be a correct name for that deity in any other language.
