Talk:Old Man Winter

Personification of the Seasons

If "Old Man Winter" is the personification of winter, what are the common/similar personifications of the other three seasons? 173.209.103.239 (talk) 17:32, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Frost Reference

I removed the Frost reference. His poem is actually called "An Old Man's Winter Night," so it's unclear how much if at all, the poem refers to this myth. AurakDraconian (talk) 01:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC) An alternative crude theory of the saying "Old Man Winter" focuses on an urban legend of unadvanced sexual acts.

Citation tags

Statements and opinions about history and mythology must be supported by experts in history and mythology, not by "AccuWeather staff writer" of unknown qualifications, who do not provide sources of their information. If you cannot find ones, then this "AccuWeather staff writer" simply speculated out of their head. One edit summary says "I trust the citation from weather experts". Well, I don't.

Hello, thank you for your input. Pls stop reverting the article, while we are discussing on the talk page. These citations are from meteorologists that are quite aware of the history of weather and it's ancient icons. However, if you want to find additional sources instead of just +tag spamming the article, I support you in the endeavour. Samantha-Rae Tuthill may be a different person; however, the meteorologist at that website would proof read any article before it is posted to ensure it is accurate, Thank you.

Please do not remove tags untill the issues resolved, according to wikipedia policies. Once again, meteorologist is not an expert in mythology. "Samantha-Rae Tuthill may be a different person" -- all the more; there is no indications of expertise for this person. if you want to find additional sources - per wikipedia policies the burden on proof is on the one who wants the statement in an article. tag spamming the article -- this is a personal insult. Personal attack are not tolerated in wikipedia. - Altenmann >talk 18:13, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
