Talk:Jerome

message: The English name Jerome comes from French Jérôme, from Latin Hieronymus, in turn from Ancient Greek Ἱερώνυμος… which in turn means "holy name". That part is fairly straightforward. (See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Jerome#Etymology)
The part that I'm doubtful of is whether Hieronymus was really part of his birth name, as the article seems to indicate. It seems to be the kind of cognomen or title that he would've received later in life, or even after death, given that it means "Holy Name". Are there any source that can shed light on this?
(It's also confusing that each part of his name ("Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus") is clearly of Greek origin, given that he's affiliated most clearly with Latin Christianity, and that he may not have learned Greek at a young age, but that's not entirely surprising given the time and location of his birth…) —Moxfyre (ǝɹʎℲxoɯ | contrib) 19:45, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Owl attribution 

message: Unfortunately the author of this material on Saint Jerome has ruined his extensive work by putting in his 'own opinions' and what he 'wants people to believe.' 
Some  material provided differs from original source materials.
The author  has provided opinions instead of facts and they differ vastly.
To suggest that Saint Jerome did not possibly realise the work that he was doing is ludicrous.
Jerome was a priest, but he refused to administer the sacrements.
Jerome was a teacher who taught well into old age.
Jerome was a Master of Languages. 
There is other incorrect information in the material provided.
The standard is not good enough for Wikipedia because it has things that are opinions, and things that are incorrect. 121.45.246.48 (talk) 20:48, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:List of JavaScript engines

message: I find it strange that my edit has been reversed, considering that
it is the only official JavaScript engine, directly from the author of the language.  Moreover, it's not only used by the Mozilla browsers, but to extend C applications as well (I myself use it for this purpose).
Of course, there are other ECMAScript implementations, but JavaScript is actually the name of the Mozilla implementation of ECMAScript.  I am wondering if the article should be renamed to ECMAScript, possibly, in this reguard...
Side note: JavaScript is not exactly the same as JScript, which violates ECMA on several accounts

Talk:Hearts in Atlantis (film)

message: I've removed the following sentences from the section on reaction to the film; these criticisms need to be sourced to a notable reviewer before they can be included in the article.
One possible reason for this is a common problem with films based on author Stephen King's work; the storyline was too condensed and omitted many things from the overall plot of the novella, leaving audience members confused, especially at the ending.
Gay and lesbian film critics also noted that having the bully as a repressed homosexual was too much of an old Hollywood cliche.

thread_title: Dark Tower Connection contains Spoilers

message: Ironically, the title "Hearts in Atlantis" refers to a later story in the book with none of the characters or plot elements of the film (except for a college-age Carol Gerber).
I removed that from the opening paragraph, it felt a bit POV. I didn't find anything ironic in the film title since Ted's reflections mention Atlantis a couple of times, for example: "Sometimes when you're young, you have moments of such happiness, you think you're living in someplace magical, like Atlantis must have been?

Talk:Female muscle growth

message: There is also another related fetish called sthenolagnia, defined as 'sexual arousal from demonstration of strength or muscles'. This is found among both males and females. There is in fact a significant number of websites (eg. www.fem-power.com) that cater to the interests of men who are aroused by strong, (especially muscular) women, who dominate them with their muscles, wrestle them, or lift and carry them. These men are likely sexually aroused by the confidence, power and strength of the women who subject them to these activities.

Talk:First English Civil War

message: As a general reader who came to this article without knowing a great deal about this conflict, I completely agree that the article is far too long, wordy, and filled with trivial details that, to a general reader, makes it a chore to get through. Encyclopedia articles should not be written for specialists, but rather for the general public, who are reading these articles to obtain a concise, to-the-point overview or summary of the topic. This article is written as if it were being done for a specialized military magazine to be read by military historians and English Civil War enthusiasts, not a general reader who just wishes to know the basic facts and overview of the war in question. Furthermore, some of the wording is not neutral or objective, as would be used in a typical encyclopedia article. Too many Wikipedia articles seem to be written by hobbyists, who in their enthusiasm for their particular topic, often go overboard on minute details and long, pedantic discussions that make these articles a disorganized, often incoherent, mess, and do little to help a general reader understand the topic. Basically, this article badly needs a complete rewrite and some serious edits to hit the "high points" of the conflict, and not give exhaustive discussions of every single battle, skirmish, and thoughts and actions of practically every person involved in the conflict. That's fine for specialized magazines or blogs, but not a general encyclopedia article. Just my two cents.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.229.162 (talk) 06:06, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

text: I have added a neutrality tag until further notice. The historical context should be fleshed out further, especially going back to medieval Empires (Almohads, Almoravids, Merinids), centered in Marrakech or Fes, whose territorial extent are used as supportive argument by Moroccan nationalists as to the claims of Morocco over wider geographical areas, including Andalusia. The way the historical context is written is as if Moroccan nationalists suddenly decided to claim all of those territories in 1963 with absolutely no justification. And that's just one of the problems of the article. --Ideophagous (talk) 07:19, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sodium tetrasulfate

message: I wouldn't say that this page will never be updated.  I was bored enough to research a hypothetical chemical formula for this (fictitious?) compound, after all.  I would *not* claim that my formula is accurate, however.  I'm not sure what a tetrasulfate ion is supposed to look like, so I merely subtracted the "pentacesium trihydrogen" part of the chemical I linked to, then balanced the outer valence shells.  It doesn't look overly stable, though, given that it has a neutral charge, overall.  Of course, it supposedly bonds with cesium for some reason, so who knows?  -- Some Random Guy
The article should stay: Wiki should first consider a general policy on ALL fictional wiki entries (fictional characters, role playing models etc. total number running in tens of thousands) and then act.

While there is information on this battle on several pages (including USS Kearsarge, CSS Alabama, etc.) there is no single page for the battle.  If anyone has any ideas on how it should be handled, let me know.  Thanks Paul 21:53, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

message: "Strength" descriptions were reversed:    Everything was entered in 2-1 order except "Strength", which was 1-2.  Except the descriptions themselves were in 2-1 order, stating "strength1 = 1 sloop-of-war" and "strength2 = 1 screw sloop-of-war".
I switched it to "strength1 = 1 screw sloop-of-war" and "strength2 = sloop-of-war".  
Then I removed the "1" from "1 sloop-of-war".  I mean, could the CSS Alabama possibly be 2 or 3 sloops-of-war? I think not.  I didn't cite a reference other than the text itself describing the Kearsarge as a single screw and a boiler below decks and the gallery pictures showing the Kearsarge with a stack with exhaust amidships.  
I thought it was just a typo. The EDIT page didn't allow for a real explanation of the change.  Funny how one misplaced screw can mess things up!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TR Amnesia (talk • contribs) 01:44, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

message: What we hope to show, using scripture passages straight from a King James version the truth as reported about the relationship John the Baptist had with the commujnity around him, the community at large and his relationship with Jesus. It is complicated but we hope to last long enough to build and present this case. The intent is not to detract John or place Jesus in a pitiable light, but to present a case of failed human interaction and the lessons to be learned therefrom. It is a vaules centered argument.
