Talk:Pope Formosus

message: We appear to have a disagreement between Pope Stephen VII and this article. Specifically, this article says three fingers were cut off, but Stephen's article says two fingers were. I believe I read somewhere that Sergius III cut off the remaining fingers. Is that where the two numbers come from?
 for instance, says two.  says three. I apologize if I'm confused, since I know almost nothing about Catholicism, but I'd like to see this resolved. - Wesley crossman 06:46, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)
The two sources (indeed, every source I've seen) agree that the fingers used in extending the apostolic benediction were cut off.  Unless they did it differently back then, that would be the middle three fingers, (think of the hands of the Pope blessing Uri et Orbi from his balcony) leaving only the thumb and pinky behind. - Nunh-huh 06:23, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: 'No: Von Neumann machine has a wider implication than Von Neumann Arcitecture. The latter is a article on the computer arcitecture concepts. That article it'self points out the the term "Von Neumann Machine" means more than the computer arcitecture.
Von Neumann Machines also applies to concepts in molecular nanotechnology and theoretical starship desings (see: Von Neumann Probe).
This article is not about computer architectures. Trying to include it in a page about computer  arcitecture is akin to putting an article about McDonalds in an article about Cows.

Should we change our link to the BBC's new title, or leave it different as a record and evidence that BBC changes web news items after publishing them? I wish I'd printed out the original item now to identify the exact changes to the story.

thread_title:  Redundancy 

message: In Egypt, in ancient Heliopolis (the “City of the Sun”) the Pharaoh, who was the living manifestation of god on earth, would enter one of his private temples ‘the House of the Morning’ at sunrise each day to be sprinkled with water. This act was a symbolic unification with the sun-god Ra, who was believed to be reborn at dawn via the waters after his journey through the night; just as human beings were reborn via the waters of the amniotic fluid. In a depiction at the temple complex in Karnak, the Pharaoh Rameses II is shown having water poured over him by the gods Thoth and Horus. As Professor Richard Gabriel notes in Gods of our Fathers: the memory of Egypt in Judaism & Christianity (2001)
However tempting as it may be to see baptism as an original Egyptian rite transmitted to us via Christianity, it’s important to note that baptism rituals were also practised by cultures with no discernible relationship to Egyptian or Judeo-Christian religious systems. Prescott (1843) describes a pre-Christian Mexican baptismal ritual that astounded the conquistadors with its similarity to those they knew; and 12th century Norse chronicler Snorri Sturlason describes baptism among pagan Scandinavians in his histories. So we can see the near-universal importance of baptism with water across all of humanity. 218.215.44.183 (talk) 18:25, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Watcher in the Water

message: If we are to take the Silmarillion as Tolkien's "gospel" then the only things older than Sauron is the Valar and Eru Illuvatar and surely we are not suggesting the watcher in the water is a fallen Valar or a rendition of the creator?
The Maiar were brought into being by Eru to serve the Valar, or to serve Arda in some way in concordance with the three music's, of course many were corrupted by Melkor's discords and I suspect that the watcher is one such Maiar, corrupted wholly becoming wholly forgotten for ages of the planet in much the same way as the abmoniable spiders that spawned Shelob, beings of some power and malice.   Certainly Melkor's accomplice in the sacking of Valinor was a magic caster and shaper of shadows and I would contend these are all fallen Maia of different ranks. 92.25.28.10 (talk) 13:58, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

I describe camel case not as a case, but as a generalization of the case concept that i call casing: uppercase is not the same as the casing i'd call "all caps", and sentence casing, title casing, and camel casing are all patterns of applying case to individual letters, that can only be explained in terms of individual letters being upper or lower case.
