Aztec Sun Stone

Somebody had added the Aztec Sun stone to the Aztec calendar article - instead, I've created a separate article discussing the Aztec sun stone and how it partly depicts the Aztec Calendar. There is some redundant information, but I was not sure if I should go ahead and combine the two or not. If someone maintaining this article is interested, do let me know. Metlin

Putting these two sources here for future reference. May be useful for updating and expanding the Reconstruction section of the article: [1][2] Kaldari (talk) 18:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits from IP address 75.86.64.46

I removed a bunch of comments by an editor at the IP address 75.86.64.46—the same person who was already responsible for a bunch of comments back in 2014, posted from the address 98.144.71.174. I strongly suspect this editor is the one who, even earlier than that, created the accounts Elijah Michael and Elijahovah and has been pushing astronomical/calendrical fringe theories for years. As usual, his writing was convoluted and difficult to understand, and with his corrections to his own years-old comments and replies to years-old comments by other editors, it made the whole talk page look pretty chaotic. I'm leaving this note mostly to clarify what the hell happened here. A. Parrot (talk) 03:15, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Overall Evaluation

Everything written in the article is related to the Aztec calendar, and nothing distracts the reader. A few statements need to be backed up by citation that are not currently cited. The addition of graphs and charts is very helpful and informative for the reader, as well as laid out in a concise manner. -Dgoldenfarb (talk) 19:14, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sun Stone not a calendar

The Aztec Sun Stone was not a calendar and only depicts the 20 symbols associated with each day of the month in a symbolic, not functional, way. This article should be edited to clarify in the picture captions that the Sun Stone, commonly referred to as the Aztec Calendar, is not actually a calendar. Likewise, the first sentence of the body text after the pictures should be removed.
