Regarding the Testament of Solomon
No group includes it in their canon of the Old Testament, and neither scholars nor religious authorities think that it's even possible that Solomon wrote it. It is pseudepigrapha, and to describe it as being part of the Old Testament is not only highly inaccurate, but potentially POV. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:32, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

July 2011
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Echidna (mythology), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ''You also introduced uncited (and wrong) information into the introduction at Hades, so that the introduction no longer reflected the article content. This has been reverted. Please check the cited sources in articles before you change article content. If you make a change contrary to the information given by existing article sources, it must be justified with reference to reliable sources and you should provide an accurate accurate edit summary outlining what you've done.

Please do not remove sources simply because they disagree with the content you personally prefer, as you did at Echidna (mythology). This is a form of personal analysis. Thank you. Haploidavey (talk) 16:36, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Echidna (mythology), you may be blocked from editing. ''Would you please also start using edit summaries. '' Haploidavey (talk) 16:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

How citation works
I think you're editing in good faith, so please let me explain. Hesiod is a significant source for a great deal of Greek mythology. If Hesiod says Cereberus has fifty heads (and that's exactly what he says) and other sources (whether classical or modern) say he has three, we don't ignore Hesiod and insist on three. We compromise; "Many-headed" is a workable and sensible compromise. Would you please not restore the three headed version? Haploidavey (talk) 16:57, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Cerberus, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Faced with your continued unwillingness to discuss these issues (see also your edits to Echidna (mythology) and your insistence on blindly reverting without even an edit summary, I'll have no option but to report your edits as disruptive. I'd rather not do that.  Haploidavey (talk) 17:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

friendly note on Hades
"Hades" to refer to the abode of the dead, and not the god, is well established in Greek literature and inscriptions from the Classical period onward. In fact, Plouton becomes the more common name for the ruler of the underworld in the Classical literature of Athens, as a result of the Eleusinian Mysteries; Hades becomes increasingly reserved for the name of the underworld as a place. Please see Pluto (mythology). This can hardly be an "incorrect" usage if it was common among the Greeks themselves as early as the 4th century BC. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
