Talk:Judgement (tarot card)

Unverifiable and unbalanced content
The article is just personal opinions from occult enthusiasts about the nature and meaning of a particular tarot card. No peer reviewed books or journal articles are cited. No references or footnotes are given. When a new statement is added, the source needs to be cited, and the source needs to be verifiable, and reliable.

The card in question has a history of over 500 years in European card games in which it is used as trump card (see Tarocchi). The article is unbalanced in that it only features the recent uses of the card for divination. This makes the article biased due to its recentism. Since the article ignores use of the card for game play in Europe and other parts of the world, it offers an anglo-american perspective that raises NPOV issues. There are academic sources and sources from international organizations discussing the history and evolution of the "Judgement" card (originally called The Angel) as well as its use in games. These need to be utilized. - Parsa 06:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The ranking
It should also be worth noting that the card's ranking is variable. As noted above, the card was originally known as the Angel and still is in Italy and Sicily. However, it is also ranked in those countries' games as 21, not 20 - and this may have been the original ranking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philebus (talk • contribs) 11:51, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

The spelling?
Is the spelling "Judgement" a peculiarity of Tarot cards, or is it an error?

 * It appears to be a peculiarity of the card itself... Volpeculus sagacis (talk) 23:42, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
