Talk:Hayyim ben Joseph Vital

message: Etz Hayyim is a work that Haim Vital wrote and published in his own life and that was later emended by the Tzemach when he added information included in extant notes that had been omitted from the published text into the published forms of the text, the text was later re-edited by the Beit El Hevra to include the commentaries of Rabbi Shalom Sharabi, with a verifiable publishing history through the Library of Congress and Israeil Antiquities authority.  The work here named as Etz Hayyim is actually the Shiviim Dafim or Mehudra Kamma.  It seems that where much of the current information came from is a faulty source found on a Kabbalistic/Hassidic website.  Where it also claims the the Beit El Hevra was instrumental in the publication of the Mehudra Kamma, the only problem is that the Beit El Hevra did not exist for another 200 years by which time the Eight Gates were in publication and had the emmandations by the Tzemach written in including the things that were found in the Mehudra Kamma that was were not found in the final publication of the Eight Gates by Shmuel Vital.  So I would like to recommend an editorial change if there is a consensus.

Talk:Isaac Tyrnau

message: Does anyone have a source for this:
Gabriel Polak and Israel Böhmer published (Königsberg, 1857) an anonymous story entitled "Etzba Elohim," the heroes of which are Isaac Tyrnau and his beautiful daughter. According to legend, a Hungarian prince fell in love with Tyrnau's daughter, converted to Judaism, renounced the throne and married Tyrnau's daughter.
I've looked, but haven't been able to find it outside of this Wikipedia article.

Talk:Nissim ben Jacob

message: While I know that there is no time limit in Wikipedia, I am removing the following statement which has had a  tag for over three years:
:Some consider Nissim and Chananel to constitute the first generation of Rishonim.
Rav Nissim is commonly referred to as "Rav Nissim ha-Gaon," not Rav Nissim ha-Rishon, and is thus clearly identified with the earlier Gaonic period rather than the later period of the Rishonim. This is even more obviously so in that his most famous pupil, Rav Isaac Alfasi - the "Rif," is sometimes himself referred to as a Gaon; attributing the teacher to the later period while identifying the student as "the last of the..." earlier period is nonsensical.

However, East Jerusalem is a de facto part of Israel, though the legality of the annexation is disputed. Thus, E. Jerusalem's political status is complicated.

Talk:Boss Radio

message: The article implies that "Boss Radio" originated at KHJ.  But according to http://www.ct30.com/kgb/history.html , Drake and Chenault had previously developed this format, even using the "Boss Radio" marketing theme, at the stations they programmed in San Diego, Fresno, and Stockton, before bringing it to KHJ. I don't know who's right, and certainly the format was brought to its final form at KHJ, but certainly they'd used the format and the name earlier. Jeh 19:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Jeh is correct. The format was developed and tested at KYNO 1300 AM in Fresno, California. I worked at this station for a number of years. Although Bill Drake and Gene Chenault had sold the station and left the premises by the time I arrived in the 1980's, the history of what took place there was well known and repeated among long-time employees. The BOSS Radio format began as notes scratched out on the back of a cocktail napkin from Cedar Lanes Bowling Alley around the corner from the original KYNO Radio location on Barton Avenue. More information here, BUT, this is based upon what I was told from multiple long-time employees who were working at this station when the format was developed: https://gulliblegardener.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-snail-mail-garden-news-release.html Billbird2111 (talk) 07:00, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boss Radio in California  

message: The section on Boss Radio in the US has nothing regarding just exactly what the format was. It implies that it is a variation on the Top 40 format, but is it just a marketing term or was there some real difference between "Boss Radio" and "Top 40"? Wschart (talk) 13:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  So what is it? 

message: There is no explanation at the top about just what the term "boss" is, so I added it in, with a reference no less in an article that is tagged for lack thereof.  This is probably one of the first things that someone unfamiliar with the now passe slang wants to know.  It's central to the article also because it conveys the intention of the radio marketing effort, to reach youth via their language at the time.  Without this explained, it's a mystery and the article is rendered far less informative. Tmangray (talk) 16:45, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Criterion of multiple attestation

message: Thanks, Thomasmeeks, for the response. All information comes from either Meier or Ehrman (including the citations of Q, Josephus, etc). I apologize I was did not cite the source with an inline reference. I will work to convert both articles over to the cite.php/ref tags. And after that, who knows, maybe I'll work on more criteria. As I said before, my biggest concern is that we are using a direct quote to define the criterion. I would appreciate anyone making an effort to paraphrase or summarize in our own words the first Meier quotes in each article. Thanks for contributing to these articles, and keep up the good work.--Andrew c 22:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Easy enough to get the citation (which must be from Ehrman, as I could not find it in Meier, v. 1).  A legitimate concern on the quotation side.  Still, IMHO what's there looks pretty innocuous. I try hard to do the same thing in terms of boiling down and paraphrasing.  BW, Thomasmeeks 23:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  '... publishing with Dorset House since 1970' 

message: Two facts here are incorrect, based on information that Jerry Weinberg told to me. Because I don't yet have good independent sources to prove it, I've tagged them "citation needed".
* When Jerry started at IBM, he wasn't in the Federal Systems Division. He was an Applied Science Representative in San Francisco, then worked for Service Bureau Corporation (IBM spinoff) Los Angeles. Then he moved to the D.C. area to join the Federal Systems Division in 1959.
* Jerry started consulting with Ethnotech in 1969. He didn't started Weinberg & Weinberg until probably 1975, when Daniel Freedman took over as president of Ethnotech. The 1969 date for the start of Jerry's consulting career is often conflated with the start of Weinberg & Weinberg.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faught (talk • contribs) 01:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
