It is so confusing; the article doesn't seem to be talking about Chuvash dragons at all. It's a true miracle that it got its way into the "Did you know" section. Starryboy 14:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DYK is not a beauty pageant. The meaning of DYK is to get more exposure and to draw attention to the newly-created articles. If the article is in need of attention (and it certainly is) you are welcome to improve it. --Ghirla | talk 17:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the temple pictured really called Satan Temple? This is a stub at best. This article most certainly does not conform to Wikipedia's standards of clear and articulate writing. Third 15:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article was split from Zilant, which had grown outsized and unwieldy, hence its lack of focus. I attemted to copyedit the previous text and make it more readable but you are welcome to further improve its standard. --Ghirla | talk 16:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to add the context tag. Also, isn't the Chuvash dragon similar to the Incubus? Paul 17:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why you think that context is insufficient. Other dragon articles, e.g., Slavic dragon, are structured along the same lines. --Ghirla | talk 17:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where it talks about the lenght of the snake that Ibn saw, I think there's a sentence that someone forgot to finish. What does "hundred ells" mean? JonPaul 18:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea. Ask the author. --Ghirla | talk 18:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
