Polish and Russian Wikipedia articles

edit

Polish and Russian Wikipedia are the only two Wikipedias that have sections on their articles on Neopaganism talking about Criticism of Neopaganism https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neopoga%C5%84stwo#Kontrowersje https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B5%D0%BE%D1%8F%D0%B7%D1%8B%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE#%D0%9A%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0 so these Wikipedias are the ones that can best have this developed on them

We need to get citations from this article because the Russian machine translation broke a lot of book citations. Currently at


```An adequate approach to Slavic neo-paganism can ensure the transition of the bulk of its participants to natural-ecological types of groups, thereby defusing national tensions and freeing up greater forces for potential creation under a new identity.

``` on revision https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Criticism_of_modern_Paganism&oldid=1073111460 so anything in that section after will need review starting from the Russian article

Scientific criticism from Russian scholars

edit

I am in the process of moving content from this part to be dispersed across the article based on content rather than country of origin of critics. It was originally a translated part from Russian Wikipedia and the content should be mixed into the article better

This article needs major, major cleanup

edit

Firstly, I am a neopagan so I am biased. Keep that in mind.

The first part about historicity is kinda okay though it is a bit scattered and seems very focused on Rodnovery (maybe make a special section for that)

The part about hierarchy...honestly I think this should be cut entirely. Doesn't really fit with a 'criticism' section since it's more of a comment than a critique, and 'not being an organised religion' is not a bad thing.

The racial issues...keep this, since it is a major problem.

"Lack of spirituality"...rename to "Conflict with New Age" or something, since that header title doesn't work

The LGBT section: This part is pretty good though I will say that treating a dualistic world view as inherently 'gender essentialist' is kinda disingenuous IMHO.

Criticism from Abrahamic religions...sure, whatever.

The ending part should be retitled to "extremism" and pare down or get rid of that Yashin section. It seems like he's conflating neopaganism with watching Ancient Aliens Felix Croc (talk) 19:08, 17 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
