Suggestion to add these sources as reference source when talking about mermaid conventions (under the section "Fandom" that have been held as they represent the biggest mermaid conventions in the USA and are most up-to-date: https://www.mermapp.com/our-favourite-parts-of-mermagic-con-2024 https://www.mermapp.com/a-fin-tastic-first-start-for-syrensymposium-copy https://www.mermapp.com/springsplash-free-flow-mermaid-meetup https://www.mermapp.com/mermaid-freedive-summit-review CoCuriosa (talk) 14:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cat typing detected; as you are a cat I suppose you should be encouraged. If you click on the "Article" tab at the top of this page, you will see the text of the article, which explains what mermaids are. They are too big to eat, but they may be willing to pet you.

Potential improvements to the page:

  1. In Scandinavian folklore, replace the picture of the Margýgr with https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flateyjarbok_Olaf_Tryggvason_(cropped).jpg, same picture but with the tail.
  2. Wrong link in reference 182, replace with https://archive.org/details/the-greenwood-encyclopedia-of-folktales-and-fairy-tales/page/621/mode/2up.
  3. In Chinese folklore, remove the wikipedia link of the word "chiru" which points to an unrelevant page.
  4. Remove or merge "Indian Folklore" which says the same things as the introduction of "Southeast Asia and Polynesia".
  5. In African Folklore, "juengu" should read "jengu".

Thanks!
