Done kind of. Since I didn't find the exact quote you provided in any common translations (the existing archaically-worded quote was KJV), I used the NRSV rendering of the verse, since it is the academic standard as far as one exists. A2soup (talk) 23:34, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moe-Anthropomorphism and Zemlya-chan

Maybe add a section about Moe-anthropomorphism (how in Japan they depict things or objects in the form of an anime girl)? Noraskulk (talk) 07:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The full article is moe anthropomorphism, by the way. And it's linked in the "see also" section of this article. Sandtalon (talk) 07:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I didn't notice. Noraskulk (talk) 14:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Anthropomorphizing is very prominent in reporting/commentary on stocks and indexes. I'm surprised there isn't a mention of this here because it's so prevalent.
