Talk:Sandek

message: Reference 2 as currently written
^ a b c d e Kogen. See Jewish Encyclopedia for more detailed etymological coverage
suggests that the two sources complement each other, but in actuality they are inconsistent:
Kogen:
The origin of the term Sandek has been attributed to a derivation from the Greek word suntekos which means 'companion of child'.
Jewish Encyclopedia:
In Talmudic literature the godfather is called "sandik" or "sandikus," a term which is usually identified with the Greek σύνδικος (Latin, "syndicus"), in the sense of "representative," "patron," "advocate."
So, is the Greek word "suntekos" (Kogen) or "sundikos" (J.E.) ? I'd cast my bet for J.E. (as a recognized, authoritative published source) any day.
Once this matter can be resolved, it would be nice to have the actual Greek in the first paragraph of the article itself (with English transliteration following it in parentheses).

Many of the facts in the article supported by this reference are controversial. If the link is not updated, or no other references can be found, perhaps the information should be revised accordingly.

message: The song is strongly is kind of rap-metal.

Talk:Shabbaton

message: Agree This article should be merged with Sabbatical which is the English term. Any nuances can be worked out on that page.--Geewhiz (talk) 13:22, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

message: This article lacks references. The only source currently cited for its definition is the web page of a local congregation in Great Falls, Montana. User:Debresser reverted my addition of a reference to the word shabbaton in Strong's concordance. shabbaton is a Biblical word and the Strong definition and the biblical uses that Strong cites suggest a broader meaning than Sabbatical, one more in accord with the modern usage. A Jewish source would be better, but I haven't found one yet.--agr (talk) 02:27, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Shadchan

message: 'Yenta' is a Yiddish woman's name. It has been charactured as a type of female busybody or neuveau-riche. As an example: 
 A mink died and went to heaven. He was told he could have anything he wished. 
 "In that case, I want a coat made out of the skins of yentas."
It is not a word that means 'matchmaker'.  That interpretation comes from the character 'Yenta' in Fiddler On The Roof, who is a matchmaker, and, as matchmakers often are, a busybody.  Too Old (talk) 01:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Shidduch was started 2004 by JFDwolff, size=3,744 = a good size article, not just a stub. Shadchan started 2007 @ 203 bytes, seems to have remained a stub that reminds us that a Shadchan is not a Yenta. At present Shadchan's only purposes seem to be:
* remind us that a Shadchan is not a Yenta - without even telling us how the confusion began in 1964 with Yentel the Jewish Matchmaker in Fiddler on the roof.
* a coat-rack for a SPAM External link for "Shadchan.net: The Bashert Agency"

Talk:Shomer

message: I've reverted the recent edit by Jon513 but I would add the information that was added by him back to the article. I think the separation into subsections is warranted enough by the possibility of each shomer warranting its own article. Also the links to Anusim are incorrect, anusim are "converts." The correct term is Onsim (or perhaps onasim), which I don't currently see an article for, although the articles that discuss Bava Kamma/Metziah touch on a lot of information that needs merging or moving at some point. If you feel that the titles would be easier if the article only mentioned the title and then used the english translation throughout, I think that potentially would be acceptable. I'll try to edit back in what I can tell was added, but if I've missed something I apologize. RShnike (talk) 18:39, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:This Is Radio Clash

message: Someone has recently vandalized the Wikipedia article with a question that was already posted here on the talk page.  Please don't do that.
The 12" EP version of the "This Is Radio Clash" single you are asking about has been listed in this article for a long time.  The EP did not have "like" 4 versions of the song, it ACTUALLY DID have 4 versions of the same song.
The only reason you would be confused is if you failed to realize that the "This Is Radio Clash" re-mixes on the back of  the EP were re-titled "Outside Broadcast" and "Radio Five".  The EP you are asking about never was really rare.  In fact, it was re-issued in a CD box set a few years ago.  
Just to make sure there is no more confusion I will update the article to explain that all four tracks are variations of the same song.Rondo66 (talk) 22:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Third Stone from the Sun

message: The article says that the song was inspired by the sounds of Star Trek but Hendrix was living in London at the time and "Third Stone from the Sun" has some resemblance to the Doctor Who theme music composed by Ron Grainer and performed by Delia Derbyshire.

thread_title:  Star Trek? 

message: So what's the deal with this? It's popularly perceived as a "taunt" to popular music, but is there any basis in this? Surf music was already on the wane and had been for a couple of years, which is a long time in pop music. So would it make any sense for this to be a jibe at surf music? I've read this opinion in many sources, but never from anyone who was there during the recording of the song or who heard it from Hendrix himself. On the other hand, we do have Dick Dale claiming that Hendrix told him he was dedicating the song to him because he was saddened by the news that Dale was possibly dying. This changes the meaning of the phrase completely. Wellesradio (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

"The song shows great resemblance in sound to Britany Spears's "Baby One More Time". The song's lyrics sound like it is a parody of Britany Spears, with the lines, "I Love The Girls And The Money And The Shame Of Life." Many songs on the album appear to also be parodies. For example, "Dracula From Houston" has resemblance to Smash Mouths's "All Star"."

Talk:St. Casimir Church (Warsaw)

message: Does anybody else have a problem with this?
"During the Warsaw Uprising the nuns gave refuge to civilians in the church and cellars and in August decided to open their rooms to the wounded insurgents in their convent thereby breaking one of the basic tenets of their faith."
I don't know the circumstances of what they did.  I vaguely understand they died horrible deaths for their charity.  But "basic tenets of their faith"--presumably they were Catholic; I can't imagine what basic tenets of the Catholic faith are violated by offering hospitality and care to the wounded.  I have to wonder if what they did was simply to suspend some of the rules of their order, towards a higher purpose.
Unfortunately, when I've looked into this on line, I've found exactly the same phrase word for word, over and over.  I suspect everyone's copying them from here.  72.83.149.204 (talk) 19:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, first, since this statement appeared twice, word for word, I removed one of the statements as redundant.  Second, I changed the remark about "breaking a basic tenet of their faith," which is almost certainly not true, to say that they suspended their rules to open their rooms to the wounded--which I suspect is what the writer meant to say.  72.83.149.204 (talk) 00:34, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Nation of Ulysses discography

message: Although I'm by no means an expert on the Nation of Ulysses or their output, some recent edits confuse me:
* "NOU were never on Flex Your Head! "Plays Pretty" is not a song"
::According to this source, NoU was featured only in later pressings, and that their contribution was the song "Plays Pretty...".
* "The group was featured on compilation records which came out during the time the group was in existence"
::Exactly which compilations are these?  The band broke up in 1992, and the first compilation I've found is Fear of Smell released in 1993.
Upon further research, it looks like some of the other edits were spot-on, it's just these two which confuse me.  If anyone has any information about these, points I'd appreciate it. Drewcifer (talk) 01:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
