== "... when the German Nazi Party adopted the swastika as an emblem of the Aryan race." ==

The lead currently makes this statement but it is not cited. Specifically what needs a citation is the "as an emblem of the [[Aryan race]]". Anyone? --[[User:John Maynard Friedman|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:John Maynard Friedman|talk]]) 08:38, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

:and in "Early 20th century" we have (also uncited)
:{{tqb|Schliemann's work soon became intertwined with the political [[völkisch]] movements, which used the swastika as a symbol for the "Aryan race" – a concept that theorists such as Alfred Rosenberg equated with a Nordic master race originating in northern Europe.}}.
:More searching required. I don't have time right now. --[[User:John Maynard Friedman|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:John Maynard Friedman|talk]]) 08:43, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
::The Myth Of The 20th Century : Alfred Rosenberg : Internet Archive
::Page 38
::The Nordic gods were figures of light with spear and radiant cross and swastika, the symbols of the sun, of fertile ascending life. [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 01:20, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
:::could you supply the archive.org URL for that, please, it may be easily accessible in your browser's search history. Better still, why not update the article? --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 11:12, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
::::Article is semi protected so can't do it myself. But here is the link [https://archive.org/details/the-myth-of-the-20th-century/page/38/mode/2up?q=swastika Archive] [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 03:53, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::Now we have a more serious problem because (a) the phrase "master race" does not appear in Rosenberg's book; (b) while Rosenberg does say that the Nordic gods were symbolised by the "spear and radiant cross and swastika", nowhere does he say "as an emblem of the [[Aryan race]]", let alone that "the political [[völkisch]] movements" adopted it as such. So the current text is a deliberate misrepresentation of the source, so I must delete it now. It can be reinstated if done with an honest and accurate report of an unambiguous statement in a reliable source. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 17:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::I don't think it's dishonest though. If you read the note on Alfred Rosenburg's wiki page, it explains it clearly
::::::# Though Rosenberg does not use the word "master race". He uses the word "Herrenvolk" (i.e. ruling people) twice in his book ''The Myth'', first referring to the [[Amorite|Amorites]] (saying that [[Archibald Sayce|Sayce]] described them as fair skinned and blue eyed) and secondly quoting [[Victor Wallace Germains]]' description of the English in "The Truth about Kitchener". ("The Myth of the Twentieth Century") - Pages 26, 660 - 1930
::::::Also, there is a secondary source that clearly states that Von List calls Swastika the symbol of Aryan race. The source is also cited on another wiki article "Order of the New Templars"
::::::[https://ia800201.us.archive.org/0/items/TheOccultRootsOfNazism_201602/The%20Occult%20Roots%20of%20Nazism.pdf]https://ia800201.us.archive.org/0/items/TheOccultRootsOfNazism_201602/The%20Occult%20Roots%20of%20Nazism.pdf [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 18:52, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::::Archive.org search function can't find the words "herrenvolk" anywhere in ''The Myth''??? (Not that it matters, I think. Do we need it?)
:::::::Yes, he does declare that "Together with these primeval Aryan Atlantic memories appear those cult allegories, costumes, carvings which are understandable only in terms of Nordic origin". So that just about provides a citation for the second (elaborating) phrase. But we still have nothing that supports {{tq|the political [[völkisch]] movements, which used the swastika as a symbol for the "Aryan race"}}, which is really the key item needed for this article. That is what we need to support with a citation. In all probability it is true as there is no doubt that the Nazi Party adopted the swastika and declared it to be an Aryan symbol. But the provenance is still missing. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 22:49, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::::The word "herrenvolk" is indeed used in the original German language version of the book.
::::::::Today the word does translate to "master race"
::::::::Here's the German version of the book
::::::::[https://archive.org/details/DerMythusDes20Jahrhunderts/mode/2up?q=herrenvolk]https://archive.org/details/DerMythusDes20Jahrhunderts/mode/2up?q=herrenvolk [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 23:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::::Regarding "Swastika as a symbol for Aryan race",
::::::::Quoting from the book "The Occult Roots of Nazism" (link in my previous comment). This is a secondary source but I think it's good. The "List" mentioned below is Guido Von List
::::::::''The first indication that List knew the work of Sebaldt occurs in his unsigned article 'Germanischer Lichtdienst', published in 1899 in Der Scherer [The Mole-Catcher], a satirical Tyrolean monthly magazine loosely associated with the Austrian Pan-German movement. Discussing the religious significance of pagan solstice fires, List suggested that this ritual symbolized the original birth of the sun. He also claimed that the swastika was a holy Aryan symbol, since it derived from the Feuerquirl (fire whisk) with which Mundelfori had initially twirled the cosmos into being. '' [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 23:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::The author of this book is a reputed historian
:::::::::[[Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke]] [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 23:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::I have no argument with that, but it doesn't directly address the point. We have both ends of the chain (yes, the Swastika was regarded as a holy symbol of the so-called Aryans; yes, the Nazis used the swastika; yes, the Nazis declared themselves to be the representatives of Aryanism) but we don't have the bit in the middle and (per [[WP:SYNTH]]) we can't just infer it. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 11:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
:::::::::::Ok I hope we're discussing the same thing. Swastika as a Symbol of Aryan race is being used by list the occultist and the order of the new templers, both part of volkisch movements. The evidence for Swastika as symbol of Aryan will only come from specific individuals belonging to volkisch movements.
:::::::::::Are you looking for some reference where a 3rd party has already connected these dots and made the inference? In lieu of that, could we still modify the article to just provide the 2 examples cited above? [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 11:21, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
::::::::::::Yes, I hope we are. I would certainly like to see the gap bridged and something sensible go back in the article.
::::::::::::* {{tq|Swastika as a Symbol of Aryan race is being used by list the occultist and the order of the new templars}} Yes, we have a good citation for that. I don't think we really need to get sidetracked into the volksich movement unless we need to show that the Nazi Party arose from it. (Showing my ignorance here, sorry.)
::::::::::::* {{tq|evidence for Swastika as symbol of Aryan}}ist ideology: yes, we have citations for that too.
::::::::::::But we still don't have any provenance for the Nazi Party's adoption of it (which ''must'' exist, it was their party flag!). That is the bit where we need a third party source connecting the dots. Ideally, one that would track through their adoption of (or identification with) Aryanism and thus its "sacred symbols". I appreciate that all this may seem obvious: they were Aryanists, they believed in its fantasies, they adopted its trappings: we ''know'' this to be true{{snd}} but we are still required to provide a reliable source that says so. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 15:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

:The above link contains Hitler's entire speech in German where he says
:{{lang|de|Sie finden dieses Kreuz als Hackenkreuz nicht nur hier, sondern genau so in Indien und Japan in den Tempelpfosten eingemeißelt. Es ist das Hackenkreuz der einst von arischer Kultur gegründeten Gemeinwesen}}.
:which translates to
:You will find this cross carved into the temple post as a swastika not only here, but in exactly the same way in India and Japan. It is the swastika of the communities once founded by Aryan culture. [[User:Pontolal|Pontolal]] ([[User talk:Pontolal|talk]]) 01:47, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
::Again, this states that that Hitler asserted that it is an aryan symbol, but that doesn't support the text I questioned above (and am about to delete). --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 17:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

== Nazi symbol ==

get ur facts straight the nazi symbol IS NOT SWASTIKA, it's Hakenkreuz [[User:Sushena07|Sushena07]] ([[User talk:Sushena07|talk]]) 19:17, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

== Wrong and misleading information especially attacking, disrespecting the Hindu race. ==

The symbol of Swastik was not appropriated by Nazis and Hitler, instead the Swastik symbol was an inspiration for creating their own "logo-design". The nazi symbol shouldn't even be in this article. This article is spreading racial hate using false and manipulated facts. [[User:Charvim|Charvim]] ([[User talk:Charvim|talk]]) 13:48, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

The swastika was used by the Icelandic Eimskip shipping company to at least 1989, on papers and advertisements in newspapers and magazines and merchandise. [[Special:Contributions/194.144.178.143|194.144.178.143]] ([[User talk:194.144.178.143|talk]]) 01:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

*{{Not done}}. We already have enough example images. In fact, we went through a big pruning recently because the page was too bloated. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 14:15, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

== Images ==

@[[User:JMF|JMF]] I don't understand why, if it is thought that the images are too numerous, that images crucial to the history of the swastika and its historical interpretation should be removed while miscellaneous images of this or that swastika in use in this or that context should be retained without any sources. It would be better to remove the existing overabundance. Please restore the Buddha footprints cited by Schliemann and Wilson. [[User:The wisest fool in Christendom|The wisest fool in Christendom]] ([[User talk:The wisest fool in Christendom|talk]]) 23:30, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

:We recently went through a huge pruning of images. If you want to add an image, gain consensus first. The Buddha's footprint image contains one small low-contrast swastika which is difficult to see through all the decorative carvings. The German potsherds lithograph is also troublesome because there is no obvious swastika—the reader isn't helped by this image. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 00:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
:First, I don't own this article, I am just relaying previous consensus. Nor am I making any qualitative judgement about the particular picture that you want to add, simply that there are already just too many images (and that is after a big clear out last year{{snd}} see [[Talk:Swastika/Archive 8#Still overloaded with images]]). As I said then, [[wp:think of the reader|think of the average reader]] using a mobile phone screen on a limited downloads contract. Each image has to pass the "a picture is worth a thousand words" test and be indispensable for the adjacent text to make sense. --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 00:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
::@[[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]], @[[User:JMF|JMF]] the images of the potsherds from Germany and the Buddha's footprints from Amaravati are both necessary for the article because they illustrate the way in which Schliemann made the connection between archaeologists' artefacts in Germany and the orientalists' artefacts in India, giving the Indian name to what he accepted was a pan-Aryan symbol. The reader is very much helped by the image, because it reveals that Schliemann had a very broad definition of what he was calling "swastika".
::Unlike the footprints (which in fact have three swastikas on each foot, please look again!), the Bishop's Island potsherds were not published by Schliemann, so the public was presumably more accepting of his (quite tenuous) conclusion about its being the same as the Indian swastika portrayed on the Buddha footprints. The accompanying text (I hope) makes it clear that Schliemann's opinion of the Bishop's Island potsherd was crucial in forming his and his contemporaries' view on the symbol, a fact which is amply attested by secondary sources.
::As I say above, the best thing would be to remove less relevant images, rather than refuse to accept images which are of eminent importance to understanding how the swastika's scholarly interpretation in the 19th century led to its being classed not only as an Aryan symbol, but as ''the'' Aryan symbol. I found that discussion of the 19th-century view of the swastika sorely lacking, and I have added a whole section which the article (worryingly) managed to completely ignore thitherto. Many of the images belong (and are indeed repeated at) the separate article on the 20th-century use of the swastika, and should be removed to there. [[User:The wisest fool in Christendom|The wisest fool in Christendom]] ([[User talk:The wisest fool in Christendom|talk]]) 00:58, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
:::I agree about the importance of telling the reader that Schliemann made a leap of logic to connect Germanic and Indo-Persian symbols. This can be described to satisfaction in prose. Unclear images don't advance the argument. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 01:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
:::I'm a bit more sympathetic because a few months ago I identified the narrative weakness in the article that described how the the Nazis identified the swastika as representing their Aryan supremacy. Not that I expected any intellectual rigour in how they got there but we at least needed to say how it happened. TwfiC has resolved that issue, thank you. But to earn a place in the article, in effect to show that they are more important than the images that must be deleted to make way for them, they really must be critical to understanding what the text is saying. That is not obvious, especially when the image quality is so poor. Could it go in [[Western use of the swastika in the early 20th century]]? --[[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 11:41, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
::::I am a little confused: @[[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] says an image is "unclear"; @[[User:JMF|JMF]] says "the image quality is so poor". Which image is being talked about here? None of them seem bad to me. Are you referring to [[:File:Las huellas de Buda, British Museum.jpg]], or to [[:File:Zeitschrift für Ethnologie, 3.1871, Taf. VI (cropped).png]]? If it's the Amaravati footprints, would [[:File:Buddha footprint from Amaravati.jpg]] be better? If it's the potsherds image, would a cropped image of the relevant pot bottom be better? Neither of these images has anything to do with the early 20th-century West, and are necessarily part of the 19th-century scholarly and popular interpretation of the swastika, so relegating them to an irrelevant article ([[Western use of the swastika in the early 20th century]]) is not suitable.
::::Binksternet has removed the illustration of the swastika from Schliemann's house, even though it is explicitly mentioned in the text, is of obvious relevance to the subject generally, and is clearly of more historical importance than the three (!) illustrations of the Finnish military's swastikas, the banal image of the Latvian Air Force roundel (it's just a red swastika …), and the swathes of wholly unsourced text which simply lists appearances of swastika motifs in various commercial and sporting contexts, all of which belongs in [[Western use of the swastika in the early 20th century]] and not in this main article. There are, for instance, two photographs of North American sports teams, neither of which can possibly be more important than the images of Schliemann's house, or the images of the objects Schliemann and his contemporaries used to interpret the swastika.
::::To this end, I want to include a gallery in the 19th century section displaying the images Schliemann (and perhaps others, like Burnouf) cited in particular as inspiring their interpretation of the swastika, namely: the [[sarcophagus of Stilicho]] (Schliemann calls it the pulpit of the [[Basilica Sant'Ambrogio]], though the mediaeval pulpit was built around the late Roman sarcophagus); the [https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/H_1856-0627-5 Anglo-Saxon funerary urn from Shropham] (Schliemann calls it "Celtic") which was also cited by [[Thomas Wilson (anthropologist)|Thomas Wilson]]'s 1896 ''The Swastika, the Earliest Known Symbol, and Its Migration'' from [[John Burley Waring]]'s 1874 ''[https://archive.org/details/ceramicartremot00wari/page/3 Ceramic Art in Remote Ages]''; the classical coins of Lefkada ({{lang|la|Leucas}}); an example from the [[Roman catacombs]]; and if possible the archaic Attic vases in the possession of [[Athanasios Rhousopoulos]] (the English translation misspells his name as "Professor Kusopulos", but the German has "Rusopulos", and one of the vases may be in Graz, a [http://gams.uni-graz.at/o:arch.2576 skyphos with lid] noted in the ''[[Corpus vasorum antiquorum]]'' [https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/261e8eeb-70a3-4840-9297-526b36926270/512622.pdf as having come from Rhousopoulos's collection (page 36–37 & plate 12)]) and the Corinthian vases Schliemann himself owned (one of these may among those Schliemann gave to [[Oscar II]] and which the king later gave to the then Ethnographical Museum of the University of Oslo, now the [[Museum of Cultural History, Oslo]], with [https://www.unimus.no/portal/#/photos/70c7beda-6f9c-4e23-952f-1c4f84f40788 inventory number C41803], with the swastika on the bottom as seen in [https://doi.org/10.5617/clara.v2i0.4835 figure 13b of Seeberg 2017]).

== This article needs to be fixed ==

We need to fix this article. And not just say FAQ. Wikipedia is one of the top source for common people. This is actually creating a lot of problems for Hindus in schools and immigrations.

First. We need to dedicate Swastika to Hinduism which is the original source of this and is still widely applicable.

Then we need clear out how Nazi symbol is completely different from Swastika.

Nazi symbol is Hakenkruez not Swastika.

Just like you wouldn't call American Football as Rugby, in the same way you can't call Nazi symbol as Swastika.

I am happy to contribute if someone wants to pair pair up.

== citation style changes ==

User:Toddy1,
While you keep ignoring the requests made to you and adamantly keep deleting the good faith work without discussing on talk page, and did not restored the well cited sections even after requesting many times and in-fact you deleted the requests/warnings given to you on your talk page.
* I removed your duplicate ref name "McCann(1994)-p6" which you gave in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyderabad&diff=prev&oldid=1169069217 this edit].
* It is a fa article, and it uses a certain style, which was suggested or decided during multiple stages of article's reviews, copyedits, and other processes. The article follows bundled citation style for single use ref's. I suggest you please go thru the articles archived talk pages before editing here and making any changes, because it will impact on the articles style and fashion of citation and other arrangements, which will lead to its delisting from fa, which i dont want in any case I am consistently working to its protection from last 10 years by repairing, fixing and updating the outdated or dead citations.
* If you do not give-up such adamant behavior in your editing pattern on this article, you will be barred from edit this page, which may also lead/impact to restrict your other rights. :)

:The reason I made the edit was that an earlier version had two different definitions of <nowiki><ref name="Hyderabad_and_Bhagmati"></nowiki>. This showed up in "show preview" as: {{tq|Cite error: The named reference "Hyderabad_and_Bhagmati" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).}} So I fixed the problem.

:I think you misunderstood [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyderabad&diff=1169069217&oldid=1169019101 the edit I made]. It was not a "duplicate name". "McCann(1994)-p6" was cited in two places. In the first place it had <nowiki><ref name="McCann(1994)-p6"></nowiki> followed by a citation template and then <nowiki></ref></nowiki>. In the second place it had <nowiki><ref name="McCann(1994)-p6"/></nowiki>. This meant that the citation was used in two places.

:In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hyderabad&diff=1169462480&oldid=1169460915 your changed version], you now have exactly the same citation template for the citation to McCann in two places: (1) in the definition of "McCann(1994)", and (2) in the definition of "Hyderabad_and_Bhagmati".
