thread_title: Brown Town?

message: How about the picture of "Saturn" is not Saturn at all, but his father Kronos.
Kronos is the father of Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter. These are his three children that lived, the rest were eaten by Kronos.
KRONOS, not Saturn.

i'm going to have to agree with you

But,Saturn is Chronos. Saturn is the Roman form of Chronos.Dlmccaslin 02:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Saturn picture

message: The section does not meet with NPOV standards because it merely states that something which is in dispute amongst millions, if not billions, is a fact that can't be argued. It uses Exodus Chapter 20 Verse 8-11 as its proof, yet those verse say nothing about what day is to be considered the Sabbath other than it being the seventh day. Currently, and thoughout history, the seventh day has been considered different by different people, so while Saturday could be the Sabbath according to traditional American calendars, it could just as easily be Sunday, or even Wednesday, according to what someone actually believes to be the seventh day of the week. I suggest that the section just be removed, as it doesn't add anything to the article other than a biased point of view, and the previous section goes into greater detail regarding the dispute of the day in a neutral way.
Looks like that's no problem. It states in the text itself that the Jews use Saturday as their sabbath, that's good enough. Dlmccaslin 03:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for registering and giving us your thoughts. See WP:NPOV about how we handle conflicting points of view (POVs) in scholarly literature about our content. As you probably know, virtually all Jews celebrate Shabbat on the seventh day of each week, starting at sunset; the fact that this overlaps most of "Saturday" is merely brought in as a conventional way of speaking (WP follows traditional idioms even if they have connotations questioned by small groups), but I hope I corrected the implication by providing a bit of additional text. The POV that Shabbat was originally lunar-based (i.e., the seventh day from the new moon, and presumably the fourteenth and so on) is described well at Shabbat#Origin theories, as well as the contrary POV that Shabbat was originally mathematically tied to every seventh day without breaks, and the discrediting of the tie to Saturn (planet) is covered there too. Hope this helps, and please feel free to continue contributing whenever you have information. JJB 18:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I am strongly inclined to delete the section Saturday songs as it has very little encyclopaedic merit.

message: If this article is true, then Saturday was named for the planet and its supposed astrological impact, not for the god Saturn which is pictured, so why not include both pictures of the planet and that illustration, but put the picture of the planet first?66.41.68.239 (talk) 02:40, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Satyr Day 

message: hey guys, i live in saudi arabia. the weekend here is thursday and friday, not saturday and sunday. not to mention people do not call the days the same way... same in greek really, where the name of the weeks reflect their order (main, second, third, fourth fifth, "Παρασκευή" (preperation day - for the sabbath). so i think the article should be re-written from an anglosaxon/latin perspective. Project2501a (talk) 13:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I reverted your recent edits for discussion. The article is written from a linguistic point of view, not a cultural point of view. That is, Sunday in Arabic is يوم الأحد (yaum al-aḥad), which literally means the first day [of the week]. See week-day names. Furthermore, the week is independent of the calendar used. Indeed, the Jews began the numbered seven day week over 500 years years before the Julian calendar was invented. The seven-day week did not reach Rome until a few decades after the Julian calendar was invented. For most purposes, the Gregorian calendar has replaced the Julian calendar. — Joe Kress (talk) 15:55, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
