Talk:Iota

message: I don't know enough to know if these terms are interchangable.  At one point the article refers to "latin 'i'" and at another it refers to "Roman 'I'".  If these are the same, then it would be better to use either the term "latin" or "roman" exclusively.
When referring to the Trinity, there has been a debate whether they are homoousios, homoiousios, or heteroousios.
Homoousios means same essence, meaning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are of one essence.
Homoiousios means similar essence, meaning Father, Son and Holy Spirit are similar yet three different beings.
Heteroosios means different essence, meaning the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are 3 distinct beings.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.201.24 (talk) 14:24, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi all, PatHadley (talk) here. I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence at York Museums Trust (Project pages). I've been working with the numismatics curators uploading images of coins from the Middleham Hoard. The hoard itself is getting an article through AFC here but I wondered whether the photos of the counterfeit Eight Reales (pieces of eight) coins from the hoard might be useful here? The three coins are here Category:Counterfeit coins of Philip IV of Spain. Although we've yet to find a source for this theory,; the curator YMT Coins suspects that these would have been produced in the Spanish colonies and then stolen from Spanish-American merchants by English Pirates, eventually getting to Yorkshire through Liverpool or Hull. Fascinating stuff! I hope they're useful. Feel free to get in touch with any queries or other ways we might help. Cheers, PatHadley (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Portuguese real

message: There are large areas that need clarifying and others that need including:
1. Are the terms "real" and "reis" interchangeable? If so the article should be made consistent. If not, then there needs to be an explanation.
2. There seems to be some kind of revaluation of the currency in 1826 that is only hinted at, but is not described or even outlined. Is this Gold, silver and copper values fluctuating? Something else.
3. The decimalisation event is mentioned numerous times but is not described once. What changed at this time? Did it change the currency unit names? How did it change how much each unit was worth with respect to other units?
From the above, there seems to be large gaps in the description of the denominations and their nomenclature. There doesn't necessarily need o be a comprehensive list of all the coin issues, but a description of the currency units, how much they were worth in reales and the materials they were made from along with any changes in these would be sufficient in giving the reader a satisfactory picture of the Portuguese Real's history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.89.230 (talk) 14:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Stuiver

message: Stuiver wasn't small coin. 
It was pegged with silver content of one Polish Zloty. From 1667 till 1768 Polish Zloty was known as Timph/Tymph. Surpluses from trade circulated in Netherlands under that name.
  
First: One Duit was a pretty penny: Mint from natural unrefined copper, with silver and gold content. It weight some grams and was worth of effort. (Why to rafine natural copper before use.)
So it would go:
Guilder: 2 Stuivers,
Florin: 2.8 Stuivers
Daalder: 3 Stuivers (Daalder: one łut Tallar) 
Rijksdaalder: 5 Stuivers (Rijksdaalder: one ounce Tallar)
But not: Guilder - 20; Florin - 28; Daalder - 30; Rijksdaalder - 50; 
Ducat - 5-8-10 pieces
Timph coin: ~31 mm diameter, ~1 mm across. Look similar to any Tallar pieces. Those are popular pieces in numismatic trade. One I have look like 6.5-8.5 gram.
That is important article for Polish history, so I didn't make any changes in it, not in any related articles. 
Timph was ONLY big coin of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth 1667-1768. Ony two small silver pieces worth 1/4 and 1/8 of Timph (Szostak, Trojak), and two small copper pieces worth 1/30 and 1/90 of Timph (1/90 made rumors for being a trash). Timph was however traded much higher than one Stivier inside of Poland-Lithuania borders by land posesors and traded higher than it's silver content - Timph was 'Patriot Coin' minted only 1663-1666 in time of national troubles. Was newer minted by other yr date.

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: Currently, "rijksdaalder" is translated as "national dollar". While the daalder - dollar part is a perfect translation, translating "rijks" to "national" is not so great. "Rijks" means of the "rijk" (genitive), and "rijk" is generally translated as "realm" ( e.g. http://en.bab.la/dictionary/dutch-english/rijk and the reverse http://en.bab.la/dictionary/english-dutch/realm ). A more semantically accurate translation would therefore be "dollar of the realm", especially taking into account the corresponding English phrase "coin of the realm".

Talk:Cologne mark

message: Is there any information on why it’s named after Cologne? GJK 13:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I suppose the mark of Cologne may have been introduced as a standard in Norway by King Hans in the late 1400s, but that is not its origin. I don't know who wrote this article (stub?) and I don't quite know what to do.
The mark, 3600 grains (~233g), was in use as a monetary standard in the middle ages by a number of Germanic tribes. Presumably in Roman times as well. Cologne was a Roman city established as the capital of the allied Ubii tribe when they moved across the Rhine for protection from hostile tribes. Maybe the Ubii were the original keepers of this mark before moving to Cologne. Maybe the standard moved to Cologne after the fall of Rome, or when Postumus carved out the Gallic Empire.
I have been unable to tell if the original Saxon sceat was defined by the mark, but it seems likely to me. At 20 grains it would've been 1/180 of a mark. Most of the Germanic tribes using the mark as the silver standard also used the schilling of Cologne, 1/120 of a mark (1.95g).
The Gottmark was an alternate standard in some use around the Baltic, by the Ostrogoths, and perhaps the Visigoths.

message: 2600:8803:FF08:100:91B8:F7CB:C35D:66DA added what, after tiny fixes, is now this in the Wikipedia article:  However, Snopes actually says: "In the headline of its report on Biden's speech, pro-Trump political commentary website PJ Media claimed that the former vice president had promised "fewer fires, floods, and hurricanes” if he wins the election." The PJ article actually says "He effectively promised that if he wins, America will suffer from fewer fires, fewer floods, and fewer hurricanes." So "effectively" in the PJ article became "literally" in the Wikipedia article, and Snopes's acknowledgment that it was merely a headline didn't make it into Wikipedia. So I tried to remove it, with an edit summary "Undid revision 1002724327 by 2600:8803:FF08:100:91B8:F7CB:C35D:66DA (talk) snopes was talking about the headline not the article, Wikipedia acknowledges per WP:HEADLINES that headlines "may be overstated or lack context", and usually doesn't care what they say". But Calton re-inserted with edit summary "This is hair-splitting of the highest order, since the false claim that Snopes refutes is NOT just in the headline of the PF Media piece." Quite belatedly (I didn't see the re-insertion at the time) I reply: I don't see it, Snopes didn't mention it, so this appears to violate WP:HEADLINES and WP:RS.
