Talk:Historicity of Jesus/Archive 15

message: I am still sticking by the general principles A-B-C-D I have quoted above (with reference to the Pauline Epistles). More specifically, it must not be overlooked that the argument is one of historicity. I have great concerns with the section "Ancient Creeds". I have at first struggled to understand what the actual issue is. This must signify that the content is partly poorly conveyed. The way it is presented now, it more or less sounds like this: "A proof in favor of the historicity of Jesus is that ancient creeds flourished describing his mystical characteristics. The proof of the existence of such creeds is that the Gospels and Paul's letters ascribe to Jesus some characteristics, that we thus assume coincide with those of such ancient creeds." (was not that what we actually wanted to demonstrate?) As it stands, readers would think that we are merely using the New Testament passages to prove the existence of the creeds, after we started off claiming that those creeds are historically established indpendently of them. I am sure the cited sources have much more to say about this, in a more rational and sourced way. Therefore I am totally not in favor of citing the conclusions by the cited authors. It would be much more effective to cite their central arguments, or at least both (arguments and conclusions). In fact, would it make any sense to cite a review of a book, say, quoting the final phrase "overall I liked it", with no mention, brief summary or synthesis for the content of the review? Although the section is sourced, it looks as if the editor did not take the time to read their analyses thoroughly and jumped directly to the conclusions by the scholars. I am not saying that he didn't actually read them, only that it is conveyed in such a way that it looks as though he didn't.  --209.150.240.231 03:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

If anyone has any issue with this tell me now so you can slap a little banner on my talk page whining about it. Some articles will have disambiguations left in them if it is relevant to it's subject matter. I will explain such in the discussion section of that article if applicable.

Talk:Wilfred von Oven

message: This article states:  "Wilfred von Oven joined the SA and Nazi Party on 1 May 1931, but resigned from both exactly one year later in protest at the shift of Nazism to the Right (the "Stennes Revolt")."  This implies that the Stennes Revolt occurred on 1 May 1932.
However, according to the Stennes Revolt article, this revolt happened in early April 1931 -- before von Oven even joined the party.  So something in this article is incorrect.  Can anyone supply a correction with a reliable source? — Lawrence King (talk) 03:22, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:TV Mania

message: Hello,
The article cites the fact that TV Mania is credited as producing Medazzaland and Pop Trash as being indicative of singer Simon LeBon's decreasing involvement.  However, those two Duran albums also credit Simon's production company, SYN, as co-producer with TV Mania.  (Please see Wikipedia's entries for Pop Trash and Medazzaland).  I think the article should be amended to state that the shared production credits were indicative of the changing band politics/dynamic, with Nick and Warren in one camp and LeBon in the other (that could be better worded but you get my meaning).  
Thank you for your consideration!

message: I live in Lund, I've heard the story about Finn more than once and this article is the first mention I've heard about a heart.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: , I started cleaning up the article and adding inline citations. I got the content from here, which I am not sure would be considered a reliable source, so I used the source info on that page. I found that it was a word-to-word copy of each of the legends.
I also added some images, but am not sure if they are the best. It would be really lovely if there is an image in the public domain of Fin the troll and/or Finn the giant from an illustrated book.
You said that you had more information about the legend. It would be interesting to know what else you might have about it... and if you have any edits / comments about where it is at now.–CaroleHenson (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello again! I was really lucky to find in one of my old books a very thorough account of when the legend appears in different sources in Sweden. The book is from 1915, but Mereth Lindgren writes (in 1995) that it's still the best overview of the subject. So without diving really deep into specialist reviews, I think this may be the best I can do for the Swedish part of the legend. Please feel free to copy edit it if you find any weird phrases or so. I'll run through it all again a bit later, but would also like to hear what you think, first. Yakikaki (talk) 18:27, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Indian calligraphy

message: Well it's a start. My feeling is that there are too many images here for the text, and that they don't relate well to the text. How about one image of each medium or script so that they exist in a context. Also I think havings them scattered around (left and right) breaks up the text unnecessarily. I've taken one out as it's big and is the same scrip and medium as some of the others, however I'll leave the mark-up here if it's still wanted.
It may be as well to think of some sort of structure to start with. Working with what's there we might opt for:
*History
*Scripts
*Languages
*Religions
Scripts evolved along regional lines, so something about this might be useful.
It is notable that despite the initial reluctance to commit religious texts to writing in India, most of the examples that have survived from antiquity are in fact religious.
I'm also wondering about copyright for these pictures - most places aren't keen for the their manuscript pics to be reproduced. mahaabaala 08:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I think it's a little strange that the article begins with saying that writing was introduced to India in 1st century BCE and then goes on to state that Ashoka's inscriptions date to the 3rd century BCE. It might be good to introduce a bit about the Indus script (a good site discussing this is Harappa.com) just to provide a more comprehensive history of writing in India. As well, the origins of Indian writing are still debated. What is posted here is just one theory (which, BTW, does not cite any references).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.149.137.233 (talk) 18:33, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:William Craig (philosopher)

message: There are two philosophers named William Craig. The subject of this article is William Craig, a logician who was a student of the philosopher W. V. O. Quine whose body of work was largely focused on logic. The other William Craig is a Christian philosopher whose middle name is Lane. It appears that the original author of this article confounded the two and mistakenly used the name "Lane" in this article. I have removed "Lane" from this article. I would also like to change "William Craig (philosopher)" to "William Craig (logician)" but I can't find a way to do this. I hope somebody figures it out. Wikipedia should provide instructions for editing the article title. ---Dagme (talk) 18:01, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Feed URI scheme

message: Regardless of how many whozits and whatzits support this protocol, the fact remains that it isn't supported in a WinXP installation with up to date installs of MSIE 7, Mozilla SeaMonkey, and Mozilla Firefox installed, so its not just non-standard, its seriously on the fringe of browser markup language. I'm also not sure why something called a "desktop aggregator" can be described as popular when its not only something I haven't heard a lot about, its also something that triggers a spelling error in the browser's spellcheck. The one I had heard of, Flock, I only heard of because it was being pushed on Photobucket users who didn't understand how to use the "Browse" function to upload a photo, or who had some other issue with uploading a photo. If this is what a "desktop aggregator" does, it strikes me that its not new functionality anyways.
However, I do think the single line about critics of the protocol is pretty spot on. There is absolutely no functionality described in this article that explains why a new type of URI is needed. The reason so many media players have their own URI is purely related to the use of digital rights prevention designed to prohibit the excercise of fair-use and free speech, such as commentary or parody on online materials. Because this digital raping of the users right to manage the content on their own PC isn't a part of the HTTP or HTML systems, its necessarily an add-on. Why on earth people attempting to market useful, open-source software would feel the need to group themselves into this category on a protocol-level, is beyond me. Stick to MIME-types!

replies: text: This page should only include names of people who are commonly known as "JC".  It is claimed in the Jesse Owens article that he was originally known as JC, but it was misunderstood by others as "Jesse".  While that is interesting trivia, it is not the same as him being widely or commonly known as JC.  It basically means his family called him that when he was young, but no one else did once he became famous.  This disambiguation page exists to help people find articles about people (or things) which are known as JC and could therefore be confused with other people or things known as JC.  I don't think there is any risk of that confusion with Jesse Owens. SlackerMom (talk) 04:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
