Semi-protected edit request on 14 April 2024
Template:Edit semi-protected Reference # 54 is mangled. It looks like there is a malformed Template:Tl in the "Mesopotamia" section.
I think that the text:
{{Refn|Frankfort classed it as a "winged, tailed, and taloned dragon which spat fire".</ref>
should be:
{{Refn|Frankfort classed it as a "winged, tailed, and taloned dragon which spat fire".}}
There may be something more complicated going on that I can't see. Thanks 76.14.122.5 (talk) 22:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think I fixed the problem. There was also an issue with the Goldman (1960) citation; there probably should've been ref tags around it, since the inline use of Template:harvp was deprecated. The original editor probably intended to have a footnote about Frankfort's classification, with a citation to Frankfort (1936-1937) inside the footnote, but got the brackets and the ref tags from the previous Goldman citation mixed up.

- That looks right. Much better than my suggestion! Thanks 76.14.122.5 (talk) 23:05, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Addition of other examples of the gryphon in modern art
The gryphon is depicted by twentieth-century French artist, writer, and filmmaker Jean Cocteau in his 1957 lithograph “Le griffon” as an eagle-headed, winged, male dancer with a human rather than a lion’s body as if for a costume design for the ballet, although the exact reference remains unclear.

Editing plan
Hello! I'm starting to work on editing this article as part of a Technical Editing class at Texas A&M University. I wanted to share my editing plan before making any major changes.
- Improving the article's messy organization.
- Eliminating repetitive information.
- Condensing the "Theories of origin" section.
- Performing any necessary copy editing.
I plan to make most of my changes in a sandbox first and slowly add them back into the article. 123faithhopecharity (talk) 19:20, 19 February 2025 (UTC)

Template:Edit semi-protected Please delete the unused (and unnamed) list-based reference:
{{citation|author=Pliny the Elder |author-link=Pliny the Elder |others=translated by [[John Bostock (physician)|John Bostock]]; [[Henry Thomas Riley]] |title=The Natural History of Pliny |publisher=H. G. Bohn |year=1855 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H72JEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA130 |page=130 |isbn=9781948488884<!--1948488884-->}}</ref>
The unused reference is causing a false positive at https://checkwiki.toolforge.org/cgi-bin/checkwiki.cgi?project=enwiki&view=only&id=94 (Reference tags without correct match)
I have moved the citation to Template:Tji on the talk page so that it is not lost.
Thank you. 176.108.139.1 (talk) 06:18, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
