Notes [11]
[edit]- The weather vane, which dates to the Sumerians in 1600–1800 BC, is the second component of wind-driven whirligigs.[11]

"Simply a whirly"?
[edit]- It can also be a pinwheel, spinning top, buzzer, comic weathervane, gee-haw, spinner, whirlygig, whirlijig, whirlyjig, whirlybird, or simply a whirly.
It seems as though this sentence combines actual whirligigs with colloquial names given to such objects. Someone needs to get in there and sort it out. I recommend you take a flashlight, a two-way radio and a flare gun. – AndyFielding (talk) 13:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
