thread_title: Why the {} sign/s?

message: In the following passage the authors seem to be unsure as to whether it is a list of beliefs or a list of things Mormons are known for:
Latter-day Saints are widely known for:
* Active proselytizing by full-time volunteer missionaries
* Belief in modern prophets, beginning with Joseph Smith, Jr., and continuing today with Gordon B. Hinckley
* Acceptance of the Bible(slightly different from the more usual version), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price as works of scripture
* An inspired nutritional guide called the Word of Wisdom, which requires abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and tea
* Belief in God the Father, the Son (Christ), and the Holy Ghost existing as three separate individuals
* Belief in a form of theosis called exaltation or eternal progression
* Wearing ceremonial temple garments under their daily clothes
* Performing baptisms for the dead, and other ordinances by proxy, in |temples]] and doing attendant genealogical research.
I edited it on the assumption that it is intended to be a list of things that Mormons are known for - 69.231.222.235 21:14, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: List of beliefs or a list of things Latter-Day Saints are known for?

message: Does this section really even belong here? This seems more to do with geography than the LDS view of the house of Joseph. It isn't even a comprehensive list. It is two places in the Arabian penisula that Lehi's family live for a few years. There are other articles more focused on Book of Mormon geography that already cover this information. I say we just delete it. FreePeoples (talk) 22:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Cupertino, California

message: Hello Wikipedians! I am not an historian, nor a scholar, but I was born and still live in Copertino (Italy), from which Cupertino's name comes. Sorry for mistakes in writing, if any: my english is very bad.
The "Etymology" section reports. Although the meaning of Copertino is uncertain, it is likely a compound word meaning "little (covered) shelter." The -ino suffix in Italian words indicates "small" or "little", while coprire (past participle coperto) means "to cover"; coperto is derived from the Latin coopertus, which also means "covered shelter".
Well, as I said I'm not a scholar and the above reconstruction of the name origin makes sense even to an average Italian, but instead I know for common knowing what even some sourcesItalian wiki page about Copertinoofficial site of Copertino municipality says, i.e. some people survived to some invasions by the Saracens and then they joined together, calling themselves "Conventino" from the Latin word "conventio", which both means "meeting" or "agreement". The "-ino" suffix is right as explained, so the name should be translated literally as "small meeting [of different people]", meaning "meeting of few people".
From that name, in next centuries, the name evolved from "Conventino" to "Convertino" (changing N to R), "Conertino" (dropping the v), "Cupertino" (from which the name of the Californian city) and finally to the actual name "Copertino".
Please note even that Copertino's coats of arms reports a "C" and a "P" inside of it, that should state for the Latin "Conventio Populorum", i.e. exactly what I wrote above.
So, I think that the Etymology section has to be revised, but I can't by myself because of my horrific english. Again, sorry for mistakes in writing, if any.--Magooz85 (talk) 14:45, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

text: I reread the chapter just now; it's possible to have a cousin outside your own generation rather than like your cousin peers. I think this is what is being implied when it says he raised her as his own daughter, not that he was actually her uncle.

Talk:Cihu Mausoleum

message: Why the name "Tzhu and Dashi Cemetary"? There are only two mentions of this anywhere on the web, and both are from the same MOFA. I think "Cemetary" is not the proper term (more like a mauseleum), but don't people just call it "Tzhu"? Let's move it back. --Jiang 09:12, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that it's mentioned on only one page anywhere and they spelled it "cemetary" (as opposed to "cemetery") I think it's not really official (that's the translation, at least). I think 陵寢 translates more accurately into "mausoleum". But "Tzuhu and Dashi Mausoleum" isn't a common name either. We can first mention the lake and then say the tomb is nearby and go on the discuss the tomb. --Jiang 09:46, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Job born c. ?, died c. ? 

message: Why is that when this article gives the letters in Hebrew for "Job", the first letter given is Aleph? I would have thought that the way to spell Job would just be "Jod Beth", as there is no A in his name. Please do give me some new knowledge if I have missed something, as my native language is English, not Hebrew. Thank you. YTKJ (talk) 10:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right that there is no A sound in the name, either in Hebrew or English. The letter Aleph is not exactly a vowel; it represents a glottal stop, which in English is not generally viewed as a consonant in itself, but in Hebrew it is necessary to write because otherwise words cannot start with a vowel. Aleph can occur with any vowel in Hebrew (short or long A, E, I, O or U). In the case of the name Job, the Hebrew version is pronounced something like 'iyov', which was historically transcribed as 'Iob' in Latin, and this became 'Job' in modern English. - Lindert (talk) 18:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

See the FDA's glossary of software terms: http://www.fda.gov/iceci/inspections/inspectionguides/ucm074875.htm  The reason is that, in this case, system refers to the business process, which embraces people, hardware, software, organizations (internal and external), etc. -- all governed by a company's Quality System.
