Talk:Kinneret (archaeological site)

message: The article's lede points out that the name "Kinneret" (a town), identified as Tell el-'Oreimeh in Arabic and Tel Kinrot in Modern Hebrew, had later evolved into the Hebrew name, Ginosar (Gennesaret). The article cites no reference for this fact. While there was, indeed, a town by the name of "Kinneret" and which gave its name to the lake, the "Sea of Galilee" (also called "Kinneret"), historical geographers have also pointed out that there was a town called "Ginosar" (Gennesaret) also built along the shores of the "Sea of Galilee" and which they identify as being Khurbet Kuneitriah, an ancient ruin situated between Tiberias and Migdal [see: Ishtori Haparchi, Sefer Kaftor Vaferach (ed. Avraham Havatzelet), vol. 2, Jerusalem 2007, p. 54 (note 31)], unlike Tel Kinrot (the ancient "Kinneret") which is located between Capernaum and Migdal (Magdala). According to them, these were two different towns bearing different names. Perhaps the writer's intent was that both names were used for the "Sea of Galilee," the one name ("Kinneret") being replaced for the other ("Ginosar"). However, to say that the name of one town (Kinneret) evolved into a different name (Ginosar, or "Gennesaret") would require citing a reliable source for such an assertion.Davidbena (talk) 04:34, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Gerar

message: The last two paragraphs of this article seem out of place. They might fit (with some revision) into an article on, I don't know, Toledot or wife-sister narratives in Genesis, but in an article on a place they seem inappropriate (both because they don't add anything about Gerar itself and because as far as I can tell it's basically unsourced interpretation of Genesis). I'd suggest we delete the last two. Thoughts? dcd139 (talk) 17:07, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hormah

message: , hi.
"Anson Rainey offers a thorough discussion of the options and references to supporting studies on p. 122 of his book, The Sacred Bridge." ()
Rainey in general is an excellent source, but the book only appears with a snippet of a few lines on Google Books, which contains nothing on Hormah's identification. It is not possible for other editors to elaborate and build up on this source, or to use it for related topics. Could you please either summarise Rainey's suggested sites, quote the relevant passage, or maybe offer a different source? Maybe the same content can be reached somewhere on academia.org or other platforms? Thanks. Arminden (talk) 12:48, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Punon

message: Wadi Faynan contains a number of internationally significant early prehistoric sites, was one of the world's most important centres of copper mining for nigh on seven thousand years, and today is the crown jewel of Jordanian environmentalism and ecotourism. What a damning indictment of Wikipedia's systematic bias that for the last 12 years our only coverage has been to conflate it with a name that was mentioned once in the bible!
I've trimmed this down to a stub about the biblical placename, and shifted the content on the Faynan region and its ancient metallurgy to more directly relevant titles, (e.g. Wadi Faynan, Khirbat Faynan). – Joe (talk) 15:03, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Rehoboth (Bible)

message: I just edited the passage to say "Isaac gave it the name Rehoboth, which means 'open spaces'."  This is consistent with the cited source, Robert Alter's book, Genesis, Translation and Commentary, which explicitly gives "open spaces" as the translation of the name of the well. Some previous editor seems to have mistakenly written that the word means, "The Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the Land". That long sentence is a quote from Isaac explaining why he chose the name 'open spaces', but it is not the English translation of the actual three syllable word he chose.

Talk:Tel Rehov

message: saying these date "at the time of the Bible or 3,000 years ago" is very POV (and is apparently a verbatim copy of breathless newspaper reports). The archaeological (rather than theological) viewpoint is that the Bible might refer to this period, but none of it was written during this period, and either way the text primarily originates from Judah, not regions like Rehov. The only reason for a phrase like "in the time of the Bible" in this context is as a vague assertion that "the Bible times" as recorded in the Bible is accurate history, and that the remotest connection between the Bible and archaeology is (as always) evidence of this 124.190.6.202 00:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I felt it better because Wikipedia thinks it better, and I happen to agree. To quote WP:GALLERY, "Wikipedia is not an image repository" - "The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject ... One rule of thumb to consider: if, due to its content, such a gallery would only lend itself to a title along the lines of "Gallery" or "Images of [insert article title]", as opposed to a more descriptive title, the gallery should either be revamped or moved to the Commons." A commonscat is a Wikipedia Commons category, such as I had created for this exact subject matter, and to which the little box appearing on the right (and in the article itself) links to.

Talk:Tob

message: Removed as unsourced, apparent OR, and probably BS:
:Since the suffix -iYa means "mine", Taibeyah means basically: "My Tob" or "Our Tob" or "Me (of) Tob" or us, "We of Tob".
It was introduced in 2005 by anonymous editor who never contributed since (see here).
-iyeh is a typical Arabic ending for toponyms. The biblical name lacks that ending, as do the ancient extra-biblical sources. I guess it is an addition postdating the 7th-c. conquest by Arab Muslims, so beside being OR, this attempted etymology looks anachronistic and wrong. Arminden (talk) 11:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Ziklag

message: Khirbet Zuheiliqah, a candidate location for Ziklag, is described as NW of Beersheba and SSE of Gaza.  However, examination of the map indicates that these vectors do not intersect.  If the Gaza vector had been entered in error, and was in fact ESE, the intersection would be at Tel Sera, the location of another Ziklag candidate. This is located where a river forks, and hence is fertile and defensible.  This would hence be a suitable place for King Achish of Gath to give to David (1 Samuel 27:6), and on the borders of Philistia and Judah.  Khirbet Zuheiliqah is not noted on modern maps and could have been the name for the area in which Tel Sera is located.  This supports Tel Sera's claim to be the site of David's settlement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epistle1 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Balanomorpha

message: According to
Dijksterhuis, A., & Bargh, J. A. (2001). The perception-behavior expressway: Automatic effects of social perception on social behavior. Advances in experimental social psychology, 33, 1–40. Retrieved from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0065260101800034
Another case in point is the small sea creature belonging to the order of Balanomorpha. This creature leads a curious life. For a while, it does nothing but float with the currents. When it eventually reaches a solid surface, it performs the only action of its life -- it attaches itself to this surface. Once the perceptual system has performed its function (detecting a solid surface), it ceases to function and dies. Action is not called for anymore, so perception is thrown overboard (in fact, the creature devours its own brain at this point).
I have added this interesting fact to the article.--Timtak (talk) 03:58, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a tricky case. The authors of that paper are psychologists, rather than carcinologists, and they don't cite any sources for that claim. It seems plausible that there would be a reduction in the ganglia after settlement, although I can't even find a reference for that at the moment. Most importantly, the wording is simply misleading. Both "devour" and "eat" suggest a very different process to the kind of developmental mechanism that is actually being employed. For all these reasons, I have removed your text, although I will carry on looking for a replacement reference. --Stemonitis (talk) 05:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is listed under its new (and very different) Chinese name ("Changzhug"), rather than one of the Tibetan forms (such as Khra-'brug (Wylie) or, in simplified phonetic form, "Tradruk Temple". As it is very famous and is thought to be Tibet's oldest Buddhist temple, it seems only fair to me to list it under one of its Tibetan names. I will, therefore, move it to "Tradruk Temple", with appropriate redirects. Further, the article seems to have been originally a translation from the German article and, therefore, has what seem to be the German forms of Tibetan names and which badly need to be converted into better-recognised forms for English-speaking readers.
