Semitic Neopaganism
Not going to revert your edit, but you do know that Sumerians did not speak a Semitic language? -- AnonMoos (talk) 12:58, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm well aware of that fact. But because of the influence of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, most especially on the Semitic Assyro-Babylonian culture, modern Mesopotamian Neopaganism is associated with Semitic Neopaganism - if only by cultural and regional proximity. I was making a simple edit to a page that has already been worked on. What does the language of Sumer have to do with it? Would you prefer that Mesopotamian Neopaganism were reclassified, or put onto it's own page? If not, it sounds like you're condescending me.

 * Just seemed odd that the caption placed emphasis on the Sumerian language, which was non-Semitic. The cuneiform sign was also used by ancient Babylonians, Assyrians etc. (who did speak a Semitic language)... AnonMoos (talk) 13:25, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is true. Sorry for coming off aggressively. I'll make a change to reflect an emphasis that is more appropriate ... User:TheCosmopolitan (talk) 5:30, 5 December 2012 (PST)


 * I changed the caption of the dingir image in the sidebar to reflect its usage in both the Sumerian and Old Akkadian languages (As it became more simplified in later versions of the language) ... AnonMoos (talk) 5:38, 5 December 2012 (PST)
