Being a repository for information compiled by myself which is not yet ready for addition to an article or draft.

Oak trees in religion
Tentative framework: Pre-Christian and Polytheistic [possible sub-headings for Slavic, Germanic / Norse, etc.], Abrahamic scripture, (modern) Abrahamic practice

Articles
''Note: I am well aware that the article authored by John Walter Taylor (an academic nobody) is from a journal alleged at numerous instances since its founding to be a hotbed of pseudo-scientific racism. Nonetheless, it is included because 1) it is a fairly comprehensive overview of trees (including oak trees) in religion, 2) it is already cited in multiple Wikipedia articles (hopefully not forever), and 3) it contains many good references which I can follow that will hopefully yield more reliable information.''

(*) Sources still needed: specific Bible verses, a source on badnjak, perhaps something other than Frazer for Slavic / Baltic / Germanic religion (which could be drawn from Taylor, assuming that the latter is being cannibalized for its progenitors rather than used as-is), and (assuming they exist) any non-European traditions on oaks in religion.

Yang Jisheng
Yang Jisheng (16 June 1516 – 12 November 1555), courtesy name Zhongfang (仲芳), pseudonym Jiaoshan (椒山), was a Chinese court official of the Ming dynasty.

(Add more stuff after I create a userspace draft. Early Life / Career / Death / Legacy?) Pleased to note that this is going very well.

Books
[note to self: only used for the intro on 297, which I intend to immediately refute; Herbert Giles got a lot of things wrong about China, as can be expected from 1901]

[note to self: pages 45-46, 278-279 contain the information you require]

Richard Hore
Probably ought to quote the writings of Richard Hakluyt sparingly, as it is a primary source. Long story short, if you don't plan a sea voyage you might end up literally eating people. (Maybe.)
