collection of [35] poems
editWhat is "[35]"? There is no reference numbered "35". Reference 3 might be a collection of poems, but 5 is not. There are 31 poems in the Codex Regius (Wikipedia "Poetic Edda").
If what was meant was that the number is around 35, but no particular number is right, I think it should say that, instead of enclosing the number in brackets.

- I'd be tempted to drop the whole paragraph, or at least condense it to an introductory sentence for the second paragraph which actually has something to do with the article topic. Looks like this was dropped in from someone's homework essay, but still not sure exactly what is implied by the 35. I'd guess it is intended to be the number of poems, perhaps opinion varies on exactly how many there were? Lithopsian (talk) 14:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- I agree the whole section is bad. Why is it spending a paragraph introducing who the Norse were? Should probably jsut be condensed to saying that norse mythology believed X, maybe another mythology believed Y. It doesn't have anything to do with the section subheading either.

Anaximander or Anaxagoras?
editThe article says “Around 560 BCE, Anaximander was the first philosopher to consider the Sun as a huge object (larger than the land of Peloponnesus[20])”, but the source given is about Anaxagoras. Can someone check? Goochelaar (talk) 11:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- The assertion was in the incorrect paragraph. Phrase moved. 37.134.212.100 (talk) 20:14, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
