Contentious wording: Mythology, a slur

[edit]

The term 'mythology', despite being technically correct, is considered a slur in the vast majority of polytheistic communities. Its use in public sources like Wikipedia cannot be allowed. The terms should be removed.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:100:9ec9:f9c2:e540:d810:52eb (talk) 01:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where are your WP:Reliable sources that it's a slur? I am aware that "myth" with regard to religion has been contentious on Wikipedia. But like the Creation myth article states, "While in popular usage the term myth often refers to false or fanciful stories, members of cultures often ascribe varying degrees of truth to their creation myths." The World egg article that you are WP:Edit warring over is about a mythological motif, and the article is about myths. And yet, in the article, you are changing titles that use "mythology" to "tradition", which can be argued as POV just like you consider "mythology" to be POV. You should stick to what the sources call the matter, and with WP:Due weight. Notice that we have a Greek mythology article; the article is not titled "Greek tradition." WP:LABEL states, "Avoid myth in its informal sense, and establish the scholarly context for any formal use of the term." The term does have appropriate context in this article. And it uses the term "mythology" rather stating "myths." Before I showed up to revert you, you tried to change "mythology" to "folklore," but were reverted by Þjarkur. I don't see how "folklore" would be better...considering that the term folklore is often taken to mean myth or unscientific hearsay passed down by the ages. The Myth article states that a myth "is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in society, such as foundational tales." And we all know that tale is often (or most commonly) taken to mean "made up or "imaginary." All that stated, I also see the word tradition used in the article (meaning text that was not added by you).
I'll alert Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Religion to this matter. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:01, 6 February 2019 (UTC) Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 02:23, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We don't need to pull a sea lion on this, but that "myth" would be a slur is silly, a comment that you only hear from, for instance, fundamentalist Christians who wish to take their scriptures literally (at least the ones they like). Drmies (talk) 15:15, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's evident this site isn't a place of tolerance. Thank you for showing me so, and I hope that you all understand exactly what you support. You will be judged accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:100:9ec9:d429:aa1b:43ae:1437 (talk • contribs) .

Shorten section names

[edit]

Adding the word "mythology" to the end of almost all the section names makes the TOC difficult to read. Since most of these seem to be tied to a religious tradition, maybe they can be shortened to "In ____ism"? Examples:

  • "Vedic mythology" > "In Hinduism"
  • "Illyrian mythology" > "In Orphism"
  • "Zoroastrian mythology" > "In Zoroastrianism"
  • ...
  • "Modern mythology" + "In modern cosmology" > "In modern culture"
