thread_title: Article name

message: @Ar2332 Can you direct me to your source for this edit? I think you've misunderstood something. Maimonides rhymes אשי with משה, not with מקדשי, so far as I can see in the Iggeret. It's vol. 20 p. 104 in Rabinovich's edition of Maimonides works. GordonGlottal (talk) 15:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. I was writing in a hurry and mixed up the gemara's and Rambam's rhymes. I'll try to fix. Ar2332 (talk) 16:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: OK great. It also occurs to me that both the Septuagint (ἁγιαστήριον τοῦ Θεοῦ) and the Peshitta (ܠܡܩܕܫܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ) use the singular instead of the plural in their translations of that passuq, as does one manuscript of Targum Psalms (לבית מקדשא אלהא), so it's possible that the gemara was reading the pasuq מִקְדְּשִׁי־אֵל instead of מִקְדְּשֵׁי־אֵל. No vowels in the time of the gemara and they sometimes use different readings than we ended up with. Slightly odd form of the noun but you do get the iy-suffix in singulars like אבי "father of" אחי "brother of" בני "son of" דברתי "word of" פי "mouth of" עזי "strength of" חולי "shaker of", מלכי-צדק, the title רבי, etc. I wonder if anyone's tried that argument.

Talk:Jayarāśi Bhaṭṭa

message: Jain commentator Silanka (writing in 9th century on Sutrakritanga) mentioned a group of philosophers known as Ajnanikavadin (Sceptics), or the followers of the doctrine of Ajnanikavada, or simply Ajñana. These philosophers believed in impossibility of knowledge, and prescribed the suspension of judgement as the best course of action. Jayarasi's work precedes or is contemporaneous to Silanka, and it is possible that Silanka had Jayarasi in his mind. The radical scepticism of Jayarasi's work seems to fall in line with Ajnanas rather than Carvaka. Is it possible that Jayarasi an Ajnanika? I am not sure if scholars have looked into it. It is impossible to describe Jayarasi as anything else other than a Sceptic. The question, however, is how much was he influenced by the earlier Sceptics like Sanjaya Belatthaputta, mentioned in Buddhist texts. Manoguru (talk) 21:46, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Jayarasi an Ajnanika? 

message: Don't get me wrong, it is a worthy installment from the reams of extraordinary contributions from India that are sadly almost completely unknown even among the 4D worms in Western Philosophy circles, but calling this work out of all the wonderful works of India's philosophical output most extraordinary is a little obviously bias. Sure the bias fits the secularism of the Western scholar with her even more jealous no-god replacing the jealous only God, but its wildly unfair to all the other wonderful contributions often a thousand years ahead of the West in reaching various conclusions to just single out this one, don't you think?

replies: text: The Grotto →  – There are many extremely significant landmarks referred to as "The Grotto", most significantly the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes in Lourdes, France. Even within the United States, The Grotto at Notre Dame has been around longer and has attracted more attention—both within popular culture and in discussion from reliable sources. As such, this article is not the WP:PTOPIC for the term "The Grotto", and disambiguation is warranted. The title "The Grotto" seems better directed to Grotto (disambiguation) than to being the title of this page. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 03:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:La Cambe German war cemetery

message: I find it kind odd to have it listed as being near Bayeux. Bayeux is about 35km away, there are many other villages closer by, including the village of La Cambe that it takes it's name from.

Talk:Cambremer

message: If the word "mer" refers to a body of water, then it is cognate with Latin "mare" and Gallic "mor".  It's not necessary to impute it to Germanic.  A similar example is Windermere in England: it is in Cumbria, a region that was Brythonic until after the Norman Conquest; attempts to make it a Swedish Norse name are probably fanciful.  As for "cam", it occurs in Brythonic with the meaning "crooked" or "meandering". St-Aubin of course was a Breton saint, born in Vannes but a bishop of Angers.

Talk:Implicit and explicit atheism

message: A merge was suggested in April and recently updated. However, there has been nothing on the talk pages. The topics are distinct & cannot be properly merged into either article. If a merge is to happen, it would have to be to an article titled Types of atheism or something similar. Such an article is likely to become quite a hot topic among editors. I think there is too much "labelling" going on already, and labels have replaced clear definitions and descriptions. Also the labels keep slipping around (especially the loathsome weak-strong labels)--JimWae (talk) 19:55, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that some consolidation would be appropriate, a new article at Types and typologies of atheism might be suitable. I think this would be to the benefit of our coverage of Atheism. Implicit and explicit atheism in particular seems to have suffered from lack of attention in comparison to the entry in Atheism covering that aspect.  Unomi (talk) 12:37, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The merge proposal 

message: Propose we leave out Nagel as a source for this concept. He does not use the layering and distinction of Atheism as Smith. Nagel is in opposition to calling the position of unaware and ambivalent as Atheism and he use an entirely different reason for why Atheism is to be understood as an opposition. 
"I shall understand by "atheism" a critique and a denial of the major claims of all varieties of theism."

thread_title:  Critical atheism 

message: This edit removed a rather useful section about WLC's take on the retroactive modification of the definition of atheism. This isn't a random blogger. WLC is a well respected speaker on theological topics relating to Christianity, and a frequent adversary to atheist thinkers in formal debate.

Talk:United Arab States

message: @The MK do you have any sources supporting your recent edits Abo Yemen✉ 14:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There is this postage stamp that was published by the Kingdom of Yemen, notice that it is commemorating the UAS, two flags are shown, The United Arab Republic and the Kingdom of Yemen , where as their other stamps commemorating other countries (such as this one) they've only shown one flag, which is the one they were commemorating. The UAS stamp mentioned shows the flags of the UAR and Yemen, which means that there was no flag for the UAS and it was a very loose confederation (between UAR and Yemen) which is what it really was as mentioned in the article.  |MK| 📝 15:09, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Within-BC disambig needed

message: When first arriving in Thornhill Christmas Day of 1969 I was greeted by a sign welcome to Thornhill when leaving Thornhill the following week there was a sign indicating you were leaving Thornhill. there was a sign entering Thornhill when exiting the old skeena bridge heading south and east. Likewise when heading south to the airport and Kitimat there were signs signalling leaving or entering Thornhill  Flash forward 50 years at the new roundabout coming from the airport there’s a sign indicating terrace and Prince Rupert west also same sign indicating Prince George to the east just entering the roundabout there’s a sign indicating Prince George with an arrow pointing east both signs omit Thornhill why ? Nowhere is their mention of Thornhill on any mileage sign posts between Prince George and Thornhill. Interesting even though Thornhills population is greater than every community from Prince George to Thornhill except for Smithers which has a larger population. There is a dozen or more communities on this route whose combined populations don’t equal Thornhills yet they are recognized on mileage posts and upon entering and leaving each of these dots on the map. Also there are no large blue amenity signs indicating gas lodging food etc.  These signs are in every community between Prince George and Thornhill a distance of 550 km. Why? It’s a snub to our hard working Thornhill businesses. When exiting Dudley Little Bridge heading east where is the entering or welcome to Thornhill sign. Why ? Maybe somebody from Department of Highways the regional district ,Terrace city council our MP or MLA could shed light on WHY there is no mention of Thornhill anywhere. Therefore in lightning the 5000+ people and dozens of businesses living and working in Thornhill with postal codes to reflect Thornhill as their home. Maybe the local newspaper could dig a little deeper into this matter. Terrace has tried to annex Thornhill several times unsuccessfully Thornhill is an independent and proud community of our heritage and founding fathers. the Thornhill family the Mueller family the Koeford family and many more pioneer families around the turn of the last century.

Talk:Lexington High School (South Carolina)

message: I just noticed this, but if you go to the page for just "Lexington High School", it loads a disambiguation page, and all the other Lexington High School's articles are just named "Lexington High School (state)". There are no other Lexington High School's in SC, so can we rename this article from "Lexington High School (Lexington, South Carolina)" to "Lexington High School (South Carolina)"? The extra Lexington is entirely redundant, both in the title itself (it's fair to assume Lexington High School (South Carolina) might be in Lexington, South Carolina) and for disambiguation (there are no other Lexington High Schools in SC, so there is no need to specify the town in the title), and it would make this page be uniform with the other Lexington High Schools of Wikipedia.Lpreams (talk) 21:54, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:John Clayton (town clerk)

message: I'll put this same message on the talk pages of three articles: Hadrian's Wall Path, Hadrian's Wall and John Clayton (Newcastle).
I was looking at the article about the Path, and found the section on John Clayton, which isn't really about the path, being connected with the preservation and study of the wall.  I looked at the article on the Wall, which mentioned very little about it post-Hadrian.  I looked for text about John Clayton, and managed to convince myself that the John Clayton (Newcastle) is the antiquarian as well as town clerk, though it wasn't mentioned on his page!
I've moved the "John Clayton" section from Path to Wall (untouched but for making a lot more links in it and correcting the artist's name in the image), and added a mention of the antiquarian stuff to the JC(N) article, but I think there probably needs to be a lot more about this aspect of his life in that article.  No time to take it further now, and not many sources to quote (he isn't in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography), but there's a piece here [] which confirms his importance (and, by matching death date, seems to confirm that he's the right John C and not a different generation).  
I'll try and get back to this some time, but (a) I hope I haven't trodden on any toes and (b) I'll be delighted if someone else picks this up and helps to sort out the info about John Clayton into the right article.  PamD (talk) 12:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
