Santa Claus
I think this article is good, but could be better. Any comments are appreciated. If this could be on the Main Page it would be good! --TheM62Manchester 21:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I feel that this still needs a lot of work. Two concerns right off the bat:
 * Summary style -> The three subarticles (origins, rituals and film) do deserve to be split from the main article, but there should still be a summary of the contents of each page in the main Santa Claus article. The standard Template:Main should be used rather than "See this page", as well.
 * One-sentence paragraphs and supershort sections, such as Santa Claus reindeers' name should be avoided through expansion or merging with other sections. --Amuck 21:52, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Automated suggestions are provided here, that you may wish to refer for some useful style guidelines. - Mailer Diablo 17:23, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Long way to go. Some sections are just 'see also', they need content. External links in text, no inline citations - this needs to be reversed :) Plus, add more pics.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Although this is repeating the above, it makes no sense to me to have a section heading for a section that only contains a link to another page, and it's becoming one of my pet peaves. :-) The reader shouldn't have to go to another page just to get information those topics. They should be summarized with a paragraph or two, and then if the readers wants to learn more they can click on a main article link.
 * I'd like to see some coverage of the supposed connection between the story of flying reindeers and the northern European shamanic ritual of eating red and white amanita muscaria mushroom. Apparently these mushrooms are a favorite treat for reindeer.

Note: This article was moved to Santa Claus in Northern American culture in 2007. --Enric Naval (talk) 00:44, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
