Talk:Dei Gratia Rex

message: I removed the following recent anonymous addition:
:In correct Latin is it written as: Rex/Regina Dei Gratia
(There was no period at the end of the sentence.)  To my knowledge, either word order is perfectly correct.  Latin has extremely free word order, and certainly the modifier Dei gratia may either precede or follow the modified noun regina.  Even in English, which has much more rigid word order, it is equally correct to say "Queen, by the grace of God" or "by the grace of God, Queen".  ACW 15:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correctness of Latin 

message: This article, before it was amended, seemed to imply that the phrase only appears on Canadian coins.  I have seen 17th century Swedish coins with the inscription: CHRISTINA D.G.R.S., and I have heard of Swedish coins bearing CHRISTINA DEI GRATIA REGINA SVECIÆ.  I do not have any solid evidence of other instances of the phrase, but given the widespread use of Latin throughout Europe in past centuries, I doubt these were the only uses of the phrase.

thread_title: Reassessment

message: Full Disclosure: I am an employee of NLB.  As there is a potential conflict of interest for me to edit this article, I will not edit this article directly but will point out the following facts only in the interest of improving the quality of the article.
Role of NLB
NLB actually oversees the National Library Singapore (which performs the national library function of a country) and the public libraries of Singapore.  
Perhaps it would be better to use this article to describe the National Library Board as a statutory board first followed by separate sections on National Library, Singapore and the Public Libraries, Singaporethat it oversees.
History
The formation of NLB as a statutory board is a result of the National Library Board Act,1995 (http://statutes.agc.gov.sg/)
Membership
Borrowing privileges only extend only to the lending section of the libraries.  The membership could also moved to be part of the proposed  "Public Libraries, Singapore" section suggested earlier.  ("Library Guide", www.nlb.gov.sg)
Actually, I am more than happy to help with the above but I am concerned with possible COI.  If anyone will offer any advice on my eligibility to edit this article as per my above suggestions, please let me know.

I also added the  icon for Changi Airport connections, since I can't find an SG icon readily available anywhere.
For expressway connections that are found on the signage like ECP (City) or TPE (SLE), I omitted the part in parentheses, because even though it denotes how to get to another expressway indirectly via said exit, it pollutes the junction table. We could also choose to add this additional information under Notes, but I didn't do so.
For exits with distinct westbound and eastbound destinations, I split them up into separate lines, suffixed with (westbound)/(eastbound) at the end of each line. I also preferred to put the westbound destination first.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chee Cheong Fun (talk • contribs) 04:19, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

message: i removed "(assuming that the books were thoroughly dusted and cleaned from all traces of chametz);" because it was superfluous. Wouldn't we then have to check everything (had we not already)?
The first section says "The children "steal" the piece of matzah, usually wrapped in a napkin, and find a hiding place for it until after the meal."  However, it is the adults who hide the afikoman and the head of the household must barter or negotiate to buy back the afikoman from the child who first finds it.  This not only provides the children with entertainment, but also lets the adults converse in relative peace and quiet.

message: To discuss with You on this subject is very important. I want to invite You, if it is possible, to rethink the etymology of "Afikoman" on the ground of what was unexpectedly given for me to discover during my work of doctoral thesis on the subject of Book of Exodus 1-18. 
The meaning of Afikoman as a Hebrew word (see Pesachim X.8) was shown in my article "Tzafun". The main remarks are:
The etymology of the Hebrew word "צפון" (the name of the 11th part of the Seder Meal during which the Afikoman is eaten) is connected with the name of locality Baal-zephon (see: Num 33:7 -  בעל צפון ; with vowels:  בַעַל צְפוֹן ; in Exod 14:2.9:  בַעַל צְפׁן), in front of  which Israelites passed through the Sea of Reeds. The etymology of the Hebrew (not Greek!) word "אֲפִיקוֹםָן;" is also connected with the Exodus of Israelites, with their passage through the Sea of Reeds. More about it - see my article Tzafun (if this article is cancelled, see its copy  in html  or in pdf  , please.)
