Spurious claim on the Waste Land

[edit]

I just removed a spurious claim that TS Eliot's Waste Land is 'strikingly similar' to Cawein's Waste Land. This claim was not supported by citation, and, on reviewing the source (correctly cited), seemed to have no merit. It would appear to be someone's original research. If someone has a reputable secondary source making this claim, please provide it, and reinstate on that basis.Martin Turner (talk) 20:46, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Holy Grail in Spain

[edit]

The description of the itinerary of the pretended Holy Grail in Spain is inaccurate. The benedictins of Montserrat have never claimed to have kept the Holy Grail for a time. This was mostly Himmler's belief, when he visited Spain, misled by the phonetical proximity between Montsalvat in Wagner's Parsifal and Montserrat. The Holy Grail was never kept in Catalonia, but in Aragon, mostly in San Juan de la Peña monastery, near Jaca. From there it travelled to Zaragoza and finally to Valencia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JdDsaavedra (talkcontribs) 14:26, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JdDsaavedra:, are you proposing changes to the article? And do have any sources to support your claims? - wolf 17:10, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JdDsaavedra: - is this you posting above while signed out? We can't use Wikipedia as a source. Also, please have a look at WP:INDENT and WP:TPG, it'll make things a little easier. Thanks (and again, are you proposing changes to the article?) - wolf 20:25, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

200 claimants for the title of Holy Grail

[edit]

It's mentioned in an off-hand way on the Chalice of Doña Urraca page that an estimated 200 different cups and chalices across Europe "vie for the title" of the Holy Grail. This article - on The Australian newspaper suggests the same. Is there a list of these somewhere? Would be useful for this article. RaymondHatstand (talk) 10:19, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Modern interpretations"...

[edit]

...appears to be a growing list of "In popular culture" appearances, some of which lend little, if anything at all, to the reader's understanding of the subject. (imho) - wolf 00:14, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
