Talk:Red Sea – Exodus station

message: Exodus is a part of the Bible and Koran as well as the Torah. This article references a specific passage for which there is archaeological evidence from the excavation of Thebes Red Sea ports. The same ports mentioned in the Bible as the departure (Elim) and arrival (Elat) ports have archaeological evidence that there was mortuary trade between Karnak across the river from Thebes, its ports referred to as the Chain of Aphrodite in the Periplus of the Erythrian Sea and in the first six stations of the Exodus.
Is this page really needed? --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.26.99.83 (talk • contribs) 
: Yes. For many years the story of Exodus has been depreciated by the the scholarship of people who have made the wildest sort of speculations in support of a myth. 
As modern archaeology begins to look more closely at the importance of the Red Sea to Egypts history, the 19th century accounts of the Exodus passing through Sinai have been discovered to be entirely without substance even as new discoveries near Timna have made the actual crossing of the Red Sea in ships more plausible.
: In Exodus 3. (21-22) we get an account which by being translated back into Egyptian points out a number of ambiguities in the text.
: Then Moses stretched out his "hand" over the "sea"; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a "strong east wind" all that night, and made "the sea into dry land", and "the waters were divided". So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a "wall" to them on their right hand and on their left.
: stretch arm forth = d3
: ferry across - d3i

The hull of a sail boat or ship acts as a wall to hold the waters apart, the deck lets you go through the sea dry shod.

Talk:Bowland College, Lancaster

message: The 2008 keyring-lanyards have the motto written as "Bowland Till I Die", besides, I have NEVER heard the motto as "Bowland Till WE Die".

Talk:Circus (Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode)

message: Just some things I think should be added to the article, should it have an attributable source:
The music that plays when Randy the Astonishing's dad comes out of the crowd was later used in "Carl Wash", but does anyone know if the music came from somewhere else? On that same note, the scenes at the circus (the audience for instance) appears as though it too came from a different show, possibly an old Hanna-Barbara cartoon (as is the case with other artwork used in various Williams Street productions). Anyone know what show it came from? :: ZJH (T C E) 08:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Katherine

message: Seems to me this should be Catherine rather than Katherine, theplosive C being the earliest common form in English? Brendandh 03:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed - especially since the first homophone mentiolmention that the name's origin and meaning are debated, without listing a single argument for one meaning or the other?  If it IS debated, then there should be at least two meanings or origins listed.  As soon as I searched the name, I found 'pure' to be the most common definiton, but also found 'one of the two' and 'my blessing of your name'. It needs SOMETHING. 74.134.26.191 16:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

=== Removal of Advertising Template ===
Although I find the original placement of the advertising template on this page to be highly suspect, I've attempted to remove the marketer-sounding wording from the single paragraph describing the storage device.  For future reference, all you wanna-be editors who believe that everything in the world is an ad-campaign, take a moment to "think" before you tag something.  If this was an Advertisement, it can only be described as an abysmally poor advertisement.

Perhaps the guidelines on using neutral tone, and not making Wikipedia into a product guide might be relevant. In particular, anything without a cited source can be removed at any time.

Talk:Chicago (poker card game)

message: Can we have some citations? There is another (better attested in English?) poker game known as "Chicago": seven card stud, high hand splits the pot with the player with the highest spade in the hole (it even has its own variant, Low Chicago, where the lowest spade in the hole is used instead). I can't find anything on the game described here. — Gwalla | Talk 03:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a Swede, I can definitely say that the Swedish card game Chicago is not a poker game and because of that this article have the wrong title. Greverod 15:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As for citations, I think that is difficult. This is one of the most played card games in Sweden (possibly the most played), but for some reason Swedish books of card games, even new ones, still seem to always forego it (while sometimes discussing a related game), just like they often use the name "Beredskap" for the game almost universally known as "Plump", and give rules for the first stage of "Skitgubbe" that I have never seen in actual use. (Neither of these are regional variations, either, as far as I have been able to tell.) Next time I go to a library, I will try to find a book that actually does mention this game. If I can't, I will reluctantly but unhesitantly support any nomination for deletion of this article. -- Jao 18:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Update: According to the sv: article, Dan Glimne's Kortspelshandboken discusses the game. Glimne is a celebrity in Sweden and considered a premier authority on card games (and some other games), so that sounds reliable. I'll look into the book as soon as I can. -- Jao 18:54, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Piero Bellugi

message: This article seems to have been converted to British usage 1 year ago, though created with American usage in 2006, with assorted WP:RETAIN violations between.  
As per WP:RETAIN "An article should not be edited or renamed simply to switch from one variety of English to another."
Further, while I don't know if I would go so far as to say that this article has "strong ties to a particular English speaking nation" as per MOS:TIES, the article notes no British connections to this figure, while mentioning that he lived in the United States for ~9 years, was resident conductor of three American orchestras, guest conductor of an additional three, studied at an American university, and gave master-classes at an additional two. His wife, though born in Germany, is described as "American", and the only child named in the article appears to have been raised there and now lives in Italy.  If a standard had to be chosen, therefore, American usage would be the only choice supported by the article itself. 
I move to remove Template:Use British English and Template:Use dmy dates.
