Talk:Codex Vaticanus

message: To the people who continue to remove the dissenting opinion by Robert Dabney, the truth doesn't mind being questioned... only a lie does. You take the choice of discernment away from the reader by declaring you are somehow more intelligent that anyone else. Mr. Dabney is a respected and published historian. It is up to the reader to determine to accept the Romish explanation for their dating of this document or Mr. Dabney (and others). 
When you deny a published historically accepted view on this matter you make your view propaganda!!! 3Gchromed (talk) 14:44, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

text: The article is full of modern, specialist sources. It also makes it clear in the first para that "The codex has been dated palaeographically to the 4th century." which is really all that Dabney is saying. Does he propose a different date? If so, has anybody credible supported that in the last century? Johnbod (talk) 15:27, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

message: I've tried to search online for a ref but I haven't been successful, maybe I haven't used the right words. At the doctors surgery a few months ago, I was reading The Bulletin, published around the time of the national conference. A few pages long, it was a good read. They mentioned how the executive went to 11 of 20 seats held by the right for the first time, from what I recall was previously 10. If anyone can find a source that would be great.

Talk:New York State Route 25B

message: For a brief while, the road is named "East Williston Avenue" in East Williston.  Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=east+williston+avenue,+east+williston,+NY) references the road as such, and the last time I was there, a few days ago, the road signs used that name.  Unless it's not Route 25B.  In that case, I'm just plain wrong.
If there is no objection, I will make this chance.  A Google search on '25B "East Williston Avenue"' seems to confirm this as correct.
"The two-lane section in East Williston is called East Williston Avenue. It is locally maintained by the Nassau County Department of Public Works (NCDPW) and is designated NY 25B/CR 85." See http://greaternyroads.info/nystate/ny25b/section2.htm.

message: A year passed since the complaints were made that this article only presented ML theory (the ML method wagging the estimation dog, since problems of ML estimation are minimized).

thread_title:  Added section on UMVU estimation (incorporating another article), responding to one-year of the previous complaints 

message: (June 2009)
There are already too many articles on regression analysis containing too much overlap. More importantly, there needs to be room for an article that outlines all the uses of "linear model" in statistics, as this is not confined to regression. Logically this should go under "linear model", while stuff about specically about regression should go in regression-specific articles. Melcombe (talk) 09:25, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, this article and the Linear regression are both about the Linear regression model (which for some reason doesn't exist at the moment of writing this comment) and thus should be merged together. Seeing as Linear regression is better structured, let's simply delete Linear model and transfer all useful material to wikipages where it belongs. // Stpasha (talk) 03:03, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm pretty sure that there is both a river & a village. At the moment it the river is spelled Weito River -- mostly because I haven't gotten around to determining if the spelling needs to be consistent then fixing it. There's a brief description of the river at Lake Chew Bahir. As for the village/town, I'm not sure how it is related to the river, or to the Weyto people. -- llywrch 19:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  So the "t" in the name of the Weyto people is a different consonant? And clearly spelled differently in fidel? That would argue to me that we need to move the name of these people to a more appropriate spelling. -- llywrch 22:22, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes and no. The name "Weyt'o" when used for the people living near Lake Tana is spelled with (and prounced as) an emphatic "t" (t', ṭ, etc.) as can be seen here (pg. 3 - see "Weyt'o"). However, so is the Omo town (and presumably river), according to a quick google search, which brought up these examples: town, river. This second link also reveals that the river is also called "Dullay" (which is apparently the native name), like the language cluster referred to by Badagnani at the Languages of Ethiopia talk page. — ዮም | (Yom) | Talk • contribs • Ethiopia 01:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Badagnani, your question makes not sense: how can a special woreda be part of a zone, when by definition a special woreda does not belong to any zones? But if you mean which woredas are located in the SNNPR adjacent to or near to the Debub Omo Zone, they are the Amaro, Burji, Dirashe and Konso -- although some sources indicate that recently the Basketo was also promoted to a special woreda.

message: I have changed the infobox statement of religion to "officially Christianity" from "nominally Christanity" as the latter is less precise. Kaffa was Christian to the extent the state govt adopted that religion (apart of course from the actual adherents). Also I have changed "with traditional religion" to "Islam, animism". "traditional religion," used in contradistinction to Christianity, is misapplied in the context of Ethiopia or the horn, where Christianity/Abrahamic religions are as old as most other identified religions. Looking through the references, animistic practices and Islam are mentioned (besides Christianity) as being practiced among the Kaffa.Snarfblaat (talk) 00:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I propose that Tigray Province be merged into Tigray Region. I think that the content in the Tigray Province article can easily be explained in the context of Tigray Region. Recent expansion of Tigray Region includes the history of Tigray Province and removes the wikilink to Tigray Province. The Region article is of a reasonable size that the merging will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.
