message: Should all of the different titles of misprinted editions be included here? You have left out the Breaches Bible, the Treacle Bible, the Printers Bible, the Ears To Ear Bible, the Bug Bible and one where the red-texed "words of Jesus" were omited entirely. --Auric The Rad 03:18, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
:Sure. Go ahead and add them. This was never meant to necessarily represent a "complete" list. I'm not familiar with those versions you mentioned, but I'm curious to see what they are. -R. fiend 17:52, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

message: The Gospel of Thomas found in Nag Hammadi in 1945 refers from the first century which is before than Kells manuscript, it's even considered older than Matthew itself as the Q domunent that inspired it, and it literally says in verse 16:
"Jesus said, "Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts upon the earth: fire, sword, war."
So the error should be noted as a correction of the actual error on Kells. Stratogustav (talk) 23:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The following text was added by User:199.17.175.160. It was unsourced and strikes me as a bit dubious, so I've moved it here until it can be properly referenced.
:It was common practice among certain mariners to carry aboard their vessels copies of errata-laden Bibles before voyages likely to be perilous; said mariners believed that such was an omen of good luck and would protect both vessel and crew in rough seas.

message: "Rosin is a waxy substance used on the bows of stringed instruments."
It's not waxy at all - it's brittle and sticky (according to Rosin, however, it's an ingredient in some waxes). Gimcrackery 10:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rosin again 

message: The entry was just changed from John 5:14 to John 8:11, but as they both use the phrase "sin no more", I'm unsure which is correct. Most of google's results point to 5:14, except these two which list 8:11. This needs to be checked by someone who knows or can find out with more certainty. Thanks. --Quiddity 17:20, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The above text is incorrect. The actual word in Matt. 10:34, in the original Greek, is "machaira," not "gladius." Machaira means "a soiritual instrument used to subdue the impulses to sin."

message: A couple of time, there has come up questions of another type of (suspected) Bible text errata - due to accidental or intended mistranslations, omissions, or additions (interpolations); c.f. #The New World Translation and #Virgin Mary!.  As explained in the former section, the purpose of this article should not be to discuss these kinds of "errors".  However, they shoud be mentioned, with reasonable references to other pages that do.

thread_title: Wikipedia is not censored

message: In the paragraph on the "Monochrome Bible" it is alleged that a plate containing red-letter text was omitted from the "Book of Timothy". Two problems here: there are two Books of Timothy; also, there should be no red-letter text in either book, because Jesus is not quoted in them. The alleged reference is a WP:FRINGEy-sounding offline book that is probably not to be trusted. Let's investigate this and make some sense of it. Elizium23 (talk) 11:03, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The info I have added to 'Judas' Bible photo is taken from a printed note in the church.

replies: text: The list of referenced printing erratas are numerous, however individual citations are extremely lacking. There are about 38 printings/examples mentioned and only 11 references given. Briefly looking to the citations, some references seem to be from good sources that are outlined by wikipedia: Google books, older published articles, scholastic books, university press. Some sources are from questionable sources such as “a note,” and an image from flckr (possible copyright infringement.) Some citations were broken such as #10 and #7. I had the knowledge to find the correct and more direct link for #7 and went ahead and submitted the change. I am new to wikipedia and evaluating this article as part of a class assignment.

message: I can not find an "Affinity Bible" from 1927. The only bible of that name mentioned on the internet before its addition in this Wikipedia article is dated to 1923 (example). Is that a different edition (if so, why does the article list the 1927 edition, and where is the source that it exists?), or has there been an erratum in this Wikipedia article for the last 12 years? That would be kind of funny. Renerpho (talk) 23:20, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
