Why do you guys always call them "cults"? Isn't that a little disrespectful to their religious beliefs? Ed Reynolds — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.3.45.120 ( talk) 21:09, 7 August 2015 (UTC) reply

Watkins and Wilson are not reliable sources

From Atlantis to the Sphinx is considered a fringe work and should not be used to reference this article. Watkins' work, a travelogue about hiking thru Norway, is similarly unsuitable to reference a work on a Mayan deity. Rather we should be using works by academics who have studied Mayan deities.

Reverting the entire page because you disagree with a reference is not an improvement. I'll do your job for you and revert to my previous edits minus the content you find objectionable. Ryan ( talk) 13:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC) reply
Most of those earlier additions that were reverted were inaccurate in any event. Such as, confusing the Maya for the Aztec in the apocryphal myth of Cortes-as-returned-kukulkan/quetzalcoatl. The pop-culture ref could be lost without any detriment to the article, tho I realise it's a losing battle at times keeping too-trivial mentions out of articles like these.
As it stands this article mostly repeats modern generic (mis)conceptions, & is in need of an overhaul. Will look to at least add in some reliable refs, maybe also change the focus of the article to concentrate on postclassic/colonial-era Yucatec uses & mentions, since as a pan-Maya concept it would be largely redundant with other articles. -- cjllw ʘ TALK 01:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Illustrations: Serpents or Feathered Serpents?

Most of the pictures do not depict feathered serpents! 77.162.130.139 ( talk) 19:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Well, there is a separate Feathered Serpent (deity) article; this is an article about Kukulkan, however he/it may have been represented. All the images are relevant to the deity, even the Vision Serpent, from which it is argued that Kukulkan developed. Best regards, Simon Burchell ( talk) 19:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC) reply

Quetzalcoatl/kukulkan

There is too much disscusion over Kukulkan being of white decent not to include it in the artice —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yargotune ( talkcontribs) 20:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Kukulcan spelling

I think the article should be named "Kukulcan" instead of "Kukulkan", since this is the spelling used in most sources (see [1] [2] [3]). 26agcp ( talk) 03:08, 31 March 2023 (UTC) reply
