Talk:Ælfric of Eynsham

message: Article was originally at "Aefric", however all but the first reference to his name calls him "Aelfric", and another poster has commented that "Aefric" is incorrect. Moved article to "Aelfric" The Anome
:...which is how most readers would look for him.  Fortunately, a redirect will bring the normal reader here, to this owlishly renamed entry heading. I look forward to seeing OEconomy as an entry heading... --Wetman 12:57, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: The page has now been moved from AElfric to Ælfric. Links from Aefric, Aelfric and AElfric have been updated/created. Btw. A and E are NEVER both capitalized in an otherwise lowercase word unless combined in a ligature (Æ)!!! Aelfric, not AElfric, is the correct title if the ligature is not used/not available.

message: The link to Aethelmaer does not come out at Aethelmaer the Stout (se Greatta}, son of Aethelweard the Historian, but as Bishop Aethelmaer the brother of Stigand. Some mistake surely ? Streona (talk) 01:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

message: When I found this article, it included this statement:
"Ælfric denied the immaculate birth of the Virgin (Homilies, ed. Thorpe, ii.466)"
This seems to be based on a common misunderstanding of what the Immaculate Conception (not immaculate birth) of the Virgin means - it means that she was conceived without Original Sin, not that she, like Jesus, had a virginal conception. Thorpe's translation of the cited passage says: 
"What shall we say of the birth-tide of Mary, save that she was begotten by father and by mother as other persons, and was born on the day that we call the eighth of September? Her father was named Joachim, and her mother Anna, pious persons according to the old law; but we will not write further concerning them, lest we fall into any error."
This clearly says nothing about whether or not she was born with original sin, but does state that she was conceived through sexual union. Therefore, I removed the statement.

message: The title used makes this article very difficult for other editors to wikify (link their pages into). Where do I find the Saxon AE on my keyboard? I don't have the time or the inclination to waste time working out how to do this, so I am forced to cut and paste the word from this site directly into my page requiring a link. That is absurd. I fully support precision in getting the facts right, but this should be within the article - the title serves a broader purpose, as a handle for picking up this article. Pedantry must feature strongly within all Wikipedia articles, hooray to that, but not surely in the titles where it interferes with practicality. I suggest a new title of "Aelfric" - what's wrong with that? The title of the article on Socrates is not spelled in classical Greek letters, so why does this have to be spelled in Quasi-Saxon?

replies: text: That's a good question, but it turns out you can type Aelfric of Eynsham, which redirects to Ælfric of Eynsham.  BTW, if you're a US PC user, you can just set your keyboard to the US International keyboard and a whole range of options open to you.  --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 22:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
