Talk:Stephen of Perm

message: As strange as it may seem, Stephen of Perm is also considered a saint by the Catholic Church!
Not only that, he's venerated by Catholics of the Latin and the Byzantine Churches! For documentation, I direct the readers here: http://www.saintpatrickdc.org/ss/0426.htm#step
More scholarly references include the following: D. Attwater's The Golden Book of Eastern Saints, J. Bentley's A Calendar of Saints: The Lives of the Principal Saints of the Christian Year, and especially Butler's Lives of the Saints.
I don't know how to explain this phenomena, save to say that it does occur periodically in the Church calendar that saints formally outside a denominational communion somehow come to be recognized as saints. For example, some Arian and Monophysite martyrs are venerated by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches.
Oh, well; however he got there, he made the cut, and today is his feast day amongst Catholics and Orthodox!DominvsVobiscvm 07:05, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: the problem is that this link doesn't work.  I found him listed in one site of Butler's but not in any other site of Butler's.  Is there any reference that discusses this?

Talk:Maronite Church

message: *General history
:*Stanley, History of the Eastern Church. 1884. Note: This source is rather old, supporting the consensus that the Maronites are part of the Syrian tradition, including liturgically.
:*Attwater, A Catholic Dictionary (3rd ed.). 1962. Note: This source is somewhat more modern, but terribly limited in scope. Included material also greatly relevant to liturgy, including sourcing approving of Maronite liturgy as a distinct Syriac "rite," notable since Attwater was a proponent of the term "use" when applicable.
:*Attwater, The Catholic Eastern Churches (Revised ed.). 1937. Note: Attwater's more general discussion of Maronite history can be found here. He is rather disapproving of the standard 20th-century intra-Maronite historical consensus.
:*Labaki, The Maronites in the United States. 1993. Note: As the title suggests, almost exclusively about the American Maronite diaspora.
*Liturgy
:*Attwater, Eastern Catholic Worship. 1945. Note: Less than comprehensive, but useful. An earlier source than his dictionary, Attwater identifies the Maronite liturgy less independent from the general Syriac liturgical family.
:*Book of Offering. 2012. Note: Most recent approved pew-edition English translation of the Holy Qurbono. Preface material is hardly adequate for comprehensive study, but covers some of the developments post-1965.
:*Qurbono: The Book of Offering [...] Season of the Glorious Birth of the Lord. 1993. Note: Earlier translation, merely useful as a high-level reference, but perhaps still applicable in a future article on the Maronite Rite.
:*The Maronite Liturgical Year: Volume 1. 1982. Note: Includes minor preface noting lateral reversion to earlier Maronite practice. Again, would be largely useful on a new Maronite Rite page.
:*Maxwell E. Johnson & Stefanos Alexopoulos, Introduction to Eastern Christian Liturgies. 2021. Note: A recent survey of Eastern Christian liturgies. Includes an analysis of the Maronite Liturgy and characterizes the Maronite Rite as a distinct rite from West Syriac.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maronite98 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

One consequence of this is that if you want to change the widths, you need to write "team-width=150px" or "team-width=9em" (for example).  The "px" or "em" unit choice must be part of this parameter; it will not work if you try "team-width=150".  Andrwsc 21:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Jay Rabinowitz (jurist)

message: While looking for something else, I came across the Anchorage Daily News edition of January 1, 1980 on Google Newspapers.  The paper gave him the "Citizen of the Decade" award for the 1970s.
This article has been on my list for cleanup, which unfortunately is growing by the day.  I realize that tunnel vision runs rampant on Wikipedia.  In spite of that, how is it that this article and Judy Rabinowitz both exist on here, with absolutely no attempt made in establishing the connection between father and first-born child, even through something as simple as adding a few words and some wikilinks?  Before you tell me words to the effect of "that's your job," I see that this article has mentioned Judy since September 2005.  Judy's article has existed since April 2007, and has been edited to focus exclusively on one particular aspect of her life, her career as a competitive skier, which hasn't been her career in recent memory.  Methinks that was plenty of time for someone other than myself to make this connection.RadioKAOS (talk) 09:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

message: After the recent death of Billy Casper, his article got "hot" in terms of number of edits. There was a maint. tag which requested expansion of the lead section. The section was expanded to 4 paragraphs but now contains way too much fluff and too many NPOV violations. I think we (meaning editors who have added content recently and those who have added a great deal to this page in the past) need to rework this section. Some editors already have begun winnowing down the fluff, like the one immediately before mine by JackofOz. I thought it would be a good idea to put my thoughts out on the discussion page for other editors to evaluate and opine upon before I begin rewriting the intro section.--Hokeman (talk) 01:50, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Far from providing "no explanation", there is a full explanation of the meaning, and the words themselves are wikilinked to the "Upstairs, Downstairs" article where you can read more. I am unclear exactly what you are looking for. Have you realised that words shown in blue are wikilinks - this means you can click on them for further explanation? The only other thing I can think of is that you are seeking the etymology of the actual words "upstairs" and "downstairs".

thread_title:  Upstairs, downstairs? 

message: I have reverted a series of edits made by Iantresman relating to the use of the word 'maid' in sex industry slang. The reason for the revert is that this article is about female servants working in domestic service in private homes - the topic is made abundantly clear by the lead paragraph, and drawn out as such by the entire article. The edits were therefore off topic and inappropriate. If there is a genuine case for such a definition (sex industry worker) to be recorded on Wikipedia, then it should be at the Maid (disambiguation) page; however, I have not copied the material to that page myself, as I would consider the case for its inclusion very flimsy. If it is genuine, then it is a very specialised slang; one of the references provided is unreadable without paid subscription; the other reference provided is from a topic-specific slang dictionary. In any case, the material certainly doesn't belong on this page. Timothy Titus Talk To TT 05:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

message: "US$43 billion in International Monetary Fund (IMF) aid in 2004 was sent as foreign aid to Indonesia, and this assistance has traditionally been an important part of the central government’s budget." Upon googling online, I was not able to find a source that supports this statement. As the first sentence on a Wikipedia page it should have concrete evidence. Therefore, it may be wise to change the opening line on this page. 
"The humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake resulted in aid being given to Indonesia from many countries."
I have found an article that supports this statement: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4145259.stm
Cbahari (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: * The first statement (about IMF aid) is clearly incorrect in at least two respects: (1) the total flow of aid to Indonesia in any one year (from all sources) since the 1970s has not been anything like $43 billion (the best data source on this is the detailed annual data on geographic aid flows from the OECD Development Assistance Committee); (2) Indonesia received assistance from a wide variety of sources, not just the IMF, and so to focus on the IMF gives a misleading impression of the overall situation. The second statement is obviously correct.  It is well-known, and very widely documented, that Indonesia received humanitarian assistance from many sources following the 2004 tsunami.
