I already finished reading, will put my comments together in a moment! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 16:45, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- those groups which emphasise claims that these possess an "African purity" – The "these" seems wrong here; maybe write those groups that emphasise claims to "African purity" instead?
- mingau pudding – link?
- In the section "The orixas", you state "although their names may differ according to nation", so I wonder of which nation the orixa names are that are mentioned in the section?
- Obá and Oxumaré are the only orixas for which you did not provide their functions or associations in the "The orixas" section. Can these be added?
- Tempo is the orixá of time – Is this particular name really derived from an African language? It seems to be drived from Latin (tempus = time), or is that coincidence?
- Around 12 orixás are well-developed figures in the Candomblé pantheon – Just to check: You introduce 15 orixás in detail in the "The orixas" section; so why this particular selection? Later, in the "saints" section, you mention another one, "Omolu, an orixa of sickness", which, I assume, is not part of the regular pantheon and thus not mentioned along with the other orixas?
- boiadeiros ("cowboys" or "backwoodsmen") – I wonder who are these, if not Indigenous Americans? Any article to link to?
- What is the function of the caboclos, how are they served? In a similar way as the exus?
- "brothers" and "sisters" in the orixás (irmãos de santo) – The Portuguese "irmãos" means brothers or siblings, but not sisters, which would be "irmãs".
- Food is often offered at an appropriate landscape location – Does that mean they bring their spirit vessels outside to some nature location to do the sacrifice, or are these freshwater streams always within the terreiro?
- or brewed into a chá tea – chá literally means "tea" in Portuguese.
- Image caption: The interior of the Ilê Axé Iyá Nassô Oká – Add that it is located in Salvador?
- There are nearly 170,000 practitioners in Brazil, – This appears in the lead but I can't find it in the body (thus, it seems to be unsourced); the body instead states it is more than a million.
- That's all from me, good and solid work as usual! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
