Talk:Mythology of Carnivàle

Nominate this for FA!
This article is awesome, please do it, an all featured Carnivale topic, that would be awesome!! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliments, but I tried back in December and didn't a single support (or oppose for that matter). There is also this thing with the producer's forum posts that I used as sources (no better ones exist), and FAC reviewers still don't like that. (I fought the sourcing battle for two Carnivàle articles already, and it's more draining than gaining). Plus, the repeated FAR nominations for Spoo are very discouraging for putting efforts in articles with somewhat similar sourcing issues. (Although I may consider giving this article a second and final shot at FAC when there is a little more optimism in me, I'm currently investing my time in getting ready for another FLC and a FAC.) – sgeureka t•c 05:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * When you do please give me a message. I'd support it for FA status as it stands. Sorry to have missed the previous nom!--Opark 77 (talk) 17:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I removed some original research
The article said that Samson implied that Jesus and John the Baptist were Avatars with the following quote, ""What the hell is it with you people? [...] Management, you, Jesus, John the Baptist, the whole bunch of you!" That's speculation to say that's what Samson really meant and taken out of context. In the full conversation, Samson was referring to all of them as people dying when they don't have to, not Avatars. That'--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

"In mythology, trees are usually open to interpretation."
Sgeureka, are you saying that you think that "Carnivàle: Complete Season 2 – "Magic & Myth". [DVD]" is a reliable source on cross-cultural human mythology? Vectro (talk) 17:58, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what Daniel Knauf (mentioned in the following sentence there) said in this DVD feature, no more, no less. Even if he hadn't said that, there is an article called Tree worship (redirected from Tree (mythology)), and I deduct the same from its lead part alone. Aren't mythologies always open to interpretation anyway? True, I am no expert in such things, but all these things together plus the thousands of Google book hits for tree mythology interpretation tell me that there are tons of interpretations for trees, and that they are therefore open to interpretation, or no-one would wonder and write about it. I am not exactly sure where else you take issue with this sentence, so it would be helpful to know where my reasoning went wrong. – sgeureka t•c 07:34, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Synthesizing results from other Wikipedia articles or Google searches constitutes original research. Wikipedia exists to report others' facts and ideas, not as a forum to develop new ones. Furthermore, Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. The article should go in one of the following three directions:
 * Rewrite the text to say that "According to Daniel Knauf, in mythology, trees are usually open to interpretation." (factually indisputable)
 * Remove the sentence entirely.
 * Find a citation from a reliable source which backs up the existing text (perhaps by borrowing a citation from Tree worship).
 * Your choice as to which; let me know how you'd like to go (or feel free to update the article directly). Cheers, Vectro (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't get a response here, so I went ahead and took option #2. If you disagree, please don't revert, just comment here. Thanks, Vectro (talk) 03:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
