Talk:Ritual purification

message: This page was a candidate for Stubsensor cleanup project.  I think the page as a whole doesn't count as a stub, but individual sections certainly do, so I've decided to leave the stub tag on for now.  --RoySmith 01:48, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"There are strong similarities between the cleansing actions engaged in by obsessive compulsive disorder sufferers and those of religious purification rites."

thread_title: WTF

message: I would oppose merging this article with the one on Ablution. Ablution referrs specifically to washing with water; whereas ritual purification referrs to maintaining a state of ritual cleanness--which may be accomplished as much by abstainig from certain behaviors as by performing certain acts (which may or may not involve the use of water).

thread_title:  Unsourced claims 

message: I would encourage not using the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia as a source on contemporary Judaism. An example of how unreliable it can be is an edit made to the Ritual purification article, which included the claim, based on the Jewish Encyclopedia, that full body immersion by men has largely gone out of practice in contemporary Judaism. Things have changed a lot since 1906. Chabad-Lubavitch, among other Hassidic groups, practices daily full ritual immersion for men. They were a tiny obscure group in 1906 and could reasonably be ignored when the Jewish Encyclopedia was written, but their explosive growth has made their views and practices highly influential today. --Shirahadasha 22:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Content from 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia 

message: I think the topic of ritual purity/impurity cannot be properly exhausted in an article called "Ritual purification". Christianity is a case in point: It does have rituals of purification in the liturgy, but it does not have the idea of ritual purity/impurity as such, while this is very strong in Islam, Judaism etc. (see impurity of dogs, swine, certain foods, menstruation etc. which does not exist in Christianity). The Hindu caste system should also be tackled here, as far as it concerns purity/impurity. Lumendelumine (talk) 14:38, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why not a "Ritual purity" article?

message: Probably need a newer source than this for such an important topic, but apparently among Zoroastrians cow's urine went from being a preventative/cure against leprosy to being a common daily ablution to avoid disease and evil spirits, with goats' urine and human urine being used as substitutes into the early 20th century. This was apparently most prominently expounded in Avesta's Vendidad and would merit inclusion here if true. — LlywelynII 09:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Dive Into Python

message: (I am not the author of this entry) - I came here to find out if Mark Pilgrim had written any other books because I found Dive into Python so refreshing. I can see why you say the entry reads like an advert, although actually it's more like a review and as such I find it fair and balanced. For example the reviewer warns "This assumption may place the book out of reach of the first-time software developer. Although Python is an excellent language to learn modern programming techniques, this book makes a difficult starting point"
: (The previous post was made by 84.9.114.180)  I think it does read like an advert, though that's not a terrible thing.  This kind of page is quite easily turned into a Good Wikipedia Page.  If I read this book, I'll come back and change it.  --CalPaterson 10:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I originally wrote the article. I have no connection at all to Mark Pilgrim. I attempted to describe my experience of a book I found extremely useful to getting beyond how to program Python as if it were C or FORTRAN. I believe what I have written here is accurate and not particularly biased. If this is better located on WikiBooks, I'm fine with having somebody move it. Given that the book can be freely downloaded from the internet (and the article links to the site), how does this resemble an ad? John Elder 10:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As an original piece of work it is in violation of Wikipedia's no original research policy, and as a subjective review it violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. I don't personally believe that it reads like an advert, but it certainly reads like a book review. Again, nobody is faulting the quality of the text itself nor accusing you of shilling for the author, but Wikipedia as a rule does not present articles from this perspective. If I see any pointers to a more appropriate place to post your work I'll link them here. Chris Cunningham 13:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Claudia

message: Hi.  The article states that the character is a five year-old.  I'm not proud to say that I haven't read the book, I've only seen the movie.  In it, Kirsten Dunst, who portrays Claudia, is 12 years old.  Is the age mentioned in the article (five) coming from the book then?  Perhaps the movie has altered this in order to be able to get the dramatic effect it wanted (being that it would be difficult to get a five year-old actress to portray convincingly the mature Claudia).  If that was the case, this should be mentioned specifically in the article.  Regards, Redux 02:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The Gascon is not a French Basque dialect. On paper it's the westernmost Occitanian dialect. Its relationship with the Basque area is historical, from the time of the late Antiquity and the Dark Ages: Gascony and the Basque Country are both named after the tribe of the "Vascones" (the English language doesn't tell apart Basque and "Vascon", using the term Basque for both). It's the same case as Scotland (named after the Irish tribe of the Scotts), France & Franconia(after the Franks), Burgundy (Burgundians),Lombardy ("Longobardi"), Saxony, Essex, Wessex and Sussex (Saxons), England ("Angli"), etc. It is said that the Basque settlers in Aquitany adopted, modified or created a Latin-derived language that was to be the Gascon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.142.175.22 (talk) 09:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of dogwood festivals

message: most of these link to city articles which do not mention the festival, or which have no references supporting the festival. the articles on festivals are stubs, with little or no references. I think its established that dogwood blooming is a notable time for festivals in the regions they grow, but i dont see this article as being substantial enough yet. if someone wants to try to rescue it, i think its an inherently acceptable idea, but only if these festivals can be shown as notable. as it stands, its not a list of notable events.its actually very precisely discriminate, and that is necessary but not sufficient for a list. i will attempt to clear out some of the nonnotable fests, and add refs, if i can find them.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:25, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Constitution of the United States/Bill of Rights Joke?

message: Someone placed this in the section about the bill of rights.  I italicized the text in question.  I won't delete it, though.  Someone should notice this.  If not, then it proves that theory about the quantity over quality arguement against Wikipedia.  I hope someone removes it.
Originally, the Bill of Rights was not intended to apply to the states; for instance, some states in the early years of the nation officially established a religion. This interpretation of these Amendments remained until 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was passed, which stated, in part, that:
I'm so caught up got me feelin it caught i dont know what it is, but this girl she got me twisted im so caught up got me feelin it caught up im losin control this girls got a hold on me
EDIT: This must have been a problem with my browser.  Why did I see this.  Then, after viewing the page again, it was replaced with:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Re: RickK
According to Article 1, Section 5, it requires a two-thirds vote to "expel" a member of either house of Congress. That vote is taken within that house. Since expulsion and impeachment are two different things, I removed the reference to the impeachment of a senator. See . The number of impeached officials as shown in the edited paragraph is what is disputed. Since part of it has already been proven to be incorrect, it is risky to assume that the rest will be.
