Talk:West Syriac Rite

message: Today there are many churches following West Syrian Rite.
*Syriac Orthodox Church and its Indian branch Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church
*Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church
*Malabar Independent Syrian Church
*Syriac Catholic Church
*Maronite Church
* Syro-Malankara Catholic Church
*Mar Thoma Syrian Church 
There was a picture of Holy Mass of Syro-Malankara Catholic Church in this article. Recently this has been replaced with another picture - Holy Mass of Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church. Since both Syro-Malankara Catholic Church and Jacobite Syrian Orthodox Church (Syriac Orthodox Church) follows West Syrian liturgy, what is the point in removing first picture? Let us keep both the pictures -59.95.64.78 (talk) 22:49, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I believe that West Syriac liturgical rites is simply a duplicate article of West Syriac Rite. If West Syriac liturgical rites has a distinct purpose, it's merely to list the subordinate liturgical uses of the West Syriac Rite. In a similar instance, we have only one article for Latin liturgical rites, rather than separating out the ritual family and the list of subordinate rites and uses. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:34, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

"The most likely cause of a suprasternal pulse in an adult is an aortic arch aneurysm." If I'm not mistaken, a suprasternal pulse (of some strength) is not uncommon in healthy thin adults. Saying this in a Wikipedia article is a great way of stirring up health anxiety in people.

Talk:Intervertebral foramen

message: Is the intervertebral foramen an upside-down U shaped opening in the base of (what part of?) each vertebra?
(By what part of I mean I know it's not a part of the part of the vertebra that's stacked on disks & each other, but rather the dorsal parts extending back from the stacked parts to which tendons or muscles are attached; what are those parts called?) So is the foramen U shaped, not a circular hole, between the stacked parts and the attachment parts? (Except perhaps at the sacrum, where apparently the U of one vertebra joins with the U of the next lower to form an actual hole, because of the fusing together of the vertebra.) And if so, how to include all this information in the article itself?  UnderEducatedGeezer (talk) 23:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Full-rigged pinnace

message: Pinnace refers to two different classes of ship that happen to have the same name; should be two articles. A dictionary has one "article" per word and tells you what the word might refer to. An encyclopedia has an article per "item" and tells you what the name of the item is. So, for example, the article that says Sea Venture towed two pinnaces should not link to an ambiguous article where the reader is left wondering, it should link to the thing that was towed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.174.110.168 (talk) 17:13, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Bethuel

message: Bethuel  
 derives from  (btl 295a) meaning `virgin' or `being kept separate,' rendering 
`Virgin Of God.'   Between the segments  and  is the letter  (waw 519) 
which usually indicates a constructive connection between the two; with.
 Prolly.. the name is supposed to mean Daughter With God.
The meaning of this name is disputed. Without reasons given, 
BDB assumes a text error and derives from  (mat 1263), meaning man,
 and  El (93a) meaning God: Man Of God. But the name starts with bat, 
not with mat, so this explanation seems uncalled for. There are two words 
 (bat: 254b, 298a). The first one means daughter (254b), the second one 
is a measure of volume equal to about 22 liters (298a).
There are two Bethuels mentioned in Scriptures. 
One is a town in Simeon (1 Chr 4:30). The other Bethuel 
is a son of Nahor and Milcah, and the father of Laban and Rebekah.
 How do I know this? my name is Bethuel.I have a personal interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.50.86 (talk) 08:19, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: From the late 19th Century and onward, some distinction was made between destructive distillation, and ordinary distillation.   The main article could be improved with a paragraph heading along those lines.   Also, the use of the still for generating alcohol was considered incidental to the desirability of extracting the essences of flowers like roses and violets for more profitable applications, such as their use in perfumes, soaps, and hand lotions.   216.99.201.60 (talk) 18:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: comnments

message: When I edited the Wikipedia article, I first attempted to cite any information in the article that was not previously cited. If a citation was present, but the page number for the source cited was not present, then I attempted to add a page number to the citation. There was a book cited in the article, but the page number(s) of the book was (were) not cited, and I could not obtain access to the book. I put “[citation needed]” or “[page needed]” in order to indicate that research needs to be done to find a source or page number(s) for some of the information in the article.
I added a new section to the article. The new section that I added to the article contains new information relating to a strike against the Central Argentine Railway that took place during World War I (the information came from the Lauri Badaloni source written in Spanish, “Black Lists and Labor Protest: The Central Argentine Railway and its Workers during World War I”). The new section also contains new information from a Paul B. Goodwin article, “The Politics of Rate-Making: The British-Owned Railways and the Union Civica Radical, 1921-1928.” The purpose of the new section is to give a summary of the Central Argentine Railway’s relationship to its employees and government members at particular times, emphasizing the deteriorating relationship between the railway employers and its employees during World War I (in the 1910s) and between the railway’s leaders and government members in the 1920s.
I added new sources to the article. The sources that I added to the article are scholarly, secondary sources, with all of them being journal articles except for one (a book).Michigan Historian 11 (talk) 18:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: rename article

message: "Aram was a place filled with witchcraft"Studies in the Weekly Parashah - Bereishis", Y. Nachshoni p. 183. It appears than Laban was a magician as he said "I divined"Genesis 30:27"Studies in the Weekly Parashah - Bereishis", Y. Nachshoni  p. 184.  Laban and Bilaam, also identified as being from Aram, are identified as the same person"Studies in the Weekly Parashah - Bereishis", Y. Nachshoni p. 183-184."
I think if we attribute this to Yehuda Nachshoni and reference it properly it might be ok. Since I don't have the source I don't know.
"Yehuda Nachshoni wrote that Aram was full of witchcraft and that Laban was probably a magician, based on the fact that he said "I devined". He also identified Laban with Bilaam who is also described as being from Aram." Then the citation with pages 183-184. But I'd like to see quotes first.
There's another problem however. I don't know why Balaam (that's the spelling we use) isn't mentioned already, and we can't just mention one perhaps obsolete identification without mentioning the other possibilities, that Balaam was Laban's grandson, nephew, son or not related at all(see the first link and ).

Talk:Church of SS Peter & Paul, Aston

message: The following text has been moved here for discussion from the article Church of St Barnabas, Erdington. DWaterson 13:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Before the 19th Century Aston was larger than Erdington.  The tower of Aston Parish Church was built in 1480 but most of the church is Victorian built in 1879, and indicates that the area was wealthy at that time.    
It is believed that there was a wooden church in Aston in Saxon times and a preaching cross in the Norman dynasty.  A church with a full time priest was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086.  Ralph Arden, ancestor of William Shakespeare is buried there.  The church was marked by the Wars of the Roses, when Sir Thomas de Erdington added decorations.  A bust of John Rogers dates from the Protestant Reformation. There is a 15th Century monument of the Erdington family.  Parish records of baptisms, burials and marriages began in the 16th Century. Church Records are kept in Birmingham Reference Library located in Birmingham Central Library. Six soldiers killed during siege of Aston Hall in the English Civil War are buried in unmarked graves.  There are memorials of the Holt family, who owned Aston Hall.  A War memorial was added in the First World War and broken windows were replaced in the Second World War.</blockquote>
:It seems to me that the inclusion of this text in Church of St Barnabas, Erdington was quite wrong. There is no evidence to suggest that "Erdington Parish Church was originally the Parish Church of Aston", given that St Barnabas was built in 1822-3 according to Images of England and consequently far post-dates the mediaeval foundation of SS Peter & Paul, Aston. I would guess the closest to accurate is that Erdington was once within the parish of Aston, before becoming its own parish much later, but this doesn't really explain the confusion of the two churches in the articles.
