700:(as user Holt?). I'm a sometime professional editor. Instead of a copy edit, I suggest rewriting the opening paragraphs. (The later ones are perhaps overly detailed, but to the point.) It's what articles of TV and comic books often get tagged with: being too "in world". That is, if the reader is familiar with the subject, it's comprehensible. If they are not, the opening paragraphs wander all over the place without making definitive statements. Phrases such as "sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans" are more confusing than helpful. That is to say ... what are the ravens and swans doing with the valkyrie? Are they decoration, or do they have a function? If valkyrie is a "fuzzy" term, then the article should embrace the fuzziness directly, along the lines of "Valkyries are fictional female characters originating in Norse mythology who have played various roles in literature since the 13th century.

Hollinger, I am sorry that you have had such a rough start here on Knowledge (XXG). The best one can do is to behave according to policy; calm, unbiased and civil. It would be a great shame if we lost a good contributor due to a low-life discussion like this. If you are stressed by the
