:::::Some stray translation includes zodiacs. "we arranged the stars" - as i said before, it cannot be explained. In 36:39 what i wanted to show is that moon has mansions. So its another case of faulty cosmology, same is with constellations being called mansions.[[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 03:38, 18 May 2014 (PDT) | :::::Some stray translation includes zodiacs.

::::::Including weak errors is very damaging for this article. Read this [https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20140517124408AAeIicW]. It discourages people on our side from linking to this page if they see stuff like this. You may be able to explain the error but they may not. This is why this page is under construction because it needs a review so the page can become really strong and exclude weak errors or deal with it in some way. Maybe "miracle" type verses should be listed in a miracle section. | ::::::Including weak errors is very damaging for this article.

::::::Just be very careful when you're adding a verse. First add it to your Sandbox page (you can add the Moon mansion verse too) is how I would go about it. After that do a careful review and add only the ones that cant be explained or mocked or justified. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 04:52, 18 May 2014 (PDT) | ::::::Just be very careful when you're adding a verse.
