Sources[edit]

I know it is true, I have seen it with my own eyes (the cave) Not many people know about it, because it is a sacred site. You'll have to take my word, however, I will find more references.--Faithy05 08:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't doubt what you are saying, Wikipedia policies are quite clear on requiring sources. It may be worth reading Wikipedia:Verifiability for guidance on this matter. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 11:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article merge[edit]

Couldn't this be merged into Baiame? Iridia (talk) 06:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article is more informative than the Baiame one. Clearly they're both about the same subject, and that subject is 'Baiame' -- the name given to him by the people who told his story; rather than 'Baiame sky father' -- an amalgam of a name and a (translated) attribute.

Thus, I agree this should be merged into Baiame. yoyo (talk) 01:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes obviously they should be merged, but note that they are complementary, rather than duplication. The "Sky Father" article is specifically about the Baiame myth in the area around Mt Yengo, but the myth is also found throughout SE Australia. So they need to be merged with care.

Given that there is widespread agreement that they should be merged, I've gone ahead and merged them, keeping essentially all content from both articles.RayNorris (talk) 07:22, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
