message: I can't say that's not a self-portrait in Michelangelo's "Last Judgement", but I would have presumed it to be St. Bartholomew. Any particular basis for saying he "portrayed himself..."? -- Jmabel
:You are correct; see Bartholomew. Neutralitytalk
::Indeed it is both two: it represents St. Bartholomew, but the painted face was the one of Michelangelo (of course no one could know the real face of the Saint). Filippo83  —Preceding undated comment added 23:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

message: "During the Holocaust, the Nazis would flay Jews and use the skin in lampshades." It wouldn't surprise me if such a thing occurred, but it seems to me that something like this should be cited. Also, unless there is a citation to suggest that such a practice was widespread (and note the implication through context that this would mean flaying alive), it probably should not be stated in a way that can be read as suggesting it was. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:08, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
:I don't doubt this was done. (In fact, I remember seeing several examples in photographs years ago that apparently used in evidence at post-war trials of death camp personnel.) However, this article is about flaying as a method of execution. The occasional atrocity does not constitute "execution" -- which implies judgment being passed by a government official, right? --Michael K. Smith 01:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Not sure why this item was removed. The Death by a Thousand Cuts article has links to photographs from 1905 of this form of execution being performed. Any further information on that? Were those anti-Chinese propaganda photos or something? Ignus 19:55, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "the Polish Jesuit Saint Andrew Bobola was burned, half strangled, partly flayed alive and killed by a sabre stroke by Cossacks on the schismatic side". Huh? - Jmabel | Talk 05:14, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "On the schismatic side" 

message: This may sound like a stupid question, but if someone is flayed, what will he actually die from? (Or how long will he survive?) Blood loss? The incapacity of the skin to breathe? Just curious question. --Syzygy 14:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also came here looking for an answer to that... I'd say it would be a massive infection, if the blood loss doesn't do it first.148.240.253.118 (talk) 23:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The cause of death...? 

message: Is there any particular reason why Jesus is not included under examples of being flayed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenix Song (talk • contribs) 00:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The particular reason would be that He wasn't flayed.    You're thinking of flagellation, I think, which is similar but different.  --tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 08:51, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples 

message: Could someone clarify this passage:
:In medieval Britain the invasion of the sanctity of the church was classed as sacrilege and the original punishment was to be flayed alive (citation needed). The Subprior and the Sacrist of Westminster Abbey broke into the Chapel of the Pyx in 1303, the abbey muniment and treasury chamber, and stole from the contents. The Pyx chapel door has been found to have fragments of human skin attached to it as have the three doors to the revestry. Copford church in Essex, England has been found to have human skin attached.
Whose skin, the subprior and sacrist's? When was this discovered? How? Drutt (talk) 05:33, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  American Indians and Flaying 

message: Is it possible to completely skin a person while they are still alive, or will they die of blood loss or shock before then? If it is possible, was this what occurred in practice, or did historical flaying consist mainly of the removal of large portions (but not all) of the skin? How might a victim be restrained while the flaying took place? (In regards to the last question, it seems like the victims struggles might result in a reduction in the quality of the flayed skin--by tearing, ripping, etc.--if the flayer wished to keep it.)204.119.140.66 (talk) 16:32, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

message: St. Teodor of Vršac, Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Vršac, was flayed alive in 1594 by the Ottomans, under order of Grand Vezier Sinan Pasha, for leading the Serbs in the Banat Uprising.
Wiki doesn't confirm flaying, but burning:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teodor_of_Vr%C5%A1ac
So I've deleted this part.
(by the way: flaying was not a common method of punishing by the Ottomans).
