Hello, I'm TylerBurden. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Germanic mythology, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. TylerBurden (talk) 00:07, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

You've reverted the page to include information which is not sourced and entirely incorrect. Odin and Frigg did not have Thor, and the Wikipedia pages to which these link - such as Thor - already contain the correct mother to be Jorð. So, now you've reverted to factually incorrect information which has no reliable source. 24.80.180.14 (talk) 03:15, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Your edits were not supported by the Britannica reference used to cite the sentences, if it's wrong, you will need to add new reliable sources. Other Wikipedia articles are not valid sources. TylerBurden (talk) 03:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

So, someone can come along and write completely factually incorrect and made-up information (and commonplace knowledge for pretty much anyone who reads anything about Germanic mythology, ever), and as long as they wrote it first, it doesn't matter, we'll just revert back to that information, because...? Oh right, I forgot. Marvel made Frigg into Thor's mother, so that must be correct, right? Show me a source that demonstrates Frigg is Thor's mother. You won't find one, because it has no basis in reality! 24.80.180.14 (talk) 04:08, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Then remove it, don't add unsourced content of your own. Read WP:CITE. Also drop the attitude. TylerBurden (talk) 04:09, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Please note that you are incorrect, as the Britannica reference clearly states that Thor's mother is Jord. 24.80.180.14 (talk) 04:13, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

I do not see this in the reference https://www.britannica.com/topic/Germanic-religion-and-mythology, which is the reference we're talking about. Are you looking at a different one? TylerBurden (talk) 04:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Scroll down. It's under the section entitled "Minor Aesir." 24.80.180.14 (talk) 04:19, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

You're correct, the full text wasn't loaded for me. Apologies for the revert, I've restored your edits. TylerBurden (talk) 04:22, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

And yes. It does contain this information: "Jörd (Jörðr)

The name Jörd means “earth,” but this goddess who is described as the mother of Thor, and consequently Odin’s lover, is also known under different names, such as Fjörgyn (“Earth”), perhaps originally a goddess of the furrow, and Hlódyn (Hlóðyn). A dea Hludana is also remembered in votive inscriptions of lower Germany and Holland." 24.80.180.14 (talk) 04:11, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
