Translation cleanup

I have edited what I can but this article needs to be re-written.--Soulparadox 19:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

This editing is beyond my skill. It needs Admin medicine. It is extremely confusing and appears to be a direct translation. I'll try back at it in the future, but not sure what else I can do. DaltonCastle (talk) 09:01, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article (for a variety of reasons) needs a massive re-write. I don't feel comfortable just doing a trans-wiki on it........it needs a look-over from the ground up. --Bddmagic (talk) 01:26, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I inline-cited most material. The current Russian version looks like inline citing is complete, but closer scrutiny into the sources showed some lack of integrity. My rewrite is based on mchine-translating those Russsian and Ukranian sources such as were previewable, and a rewrite is more or less complete. There are odd ends still not sourced (probably could be deleted) but I've taken down the tag.--Kiyoweap (talk) 02:02, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

False pic

Please do not use the File:Огненный змей.jpg image used in the Russian ru:Огненный змей.

It cites Levkievskaya1999, which probably mentions the werewolf son, however, this is not justification of using any lubok picture featuring a woman riding a wolf.

A similar picture has been posted here[1] where it is explained "This Russian lubok from 1760 shows a woman being punished for lust".

I was able to transcribe the title as "Притча изъ зерцала [кел??] вельми страшна и ужасна.." (The parable from the mirror is very scary), where the mirror refers to The Great Mirror (ru:Великое зерцало), adapted from western (German) Christian parables.[2]

I am going to edit the file description page so people don't continue to misidentify this. --Kiyoweap (talk) 06:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
