Talk:Herod Archelaus

message: Is there a general preference for the name 'Archelaus' being pronounced with stress on the 'e' or the second 'a'? - BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:42, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation of Archelaus 

message: it is written... It was after midnight, and Archelaus suddenly ordered the entire army into the city to the Temple. Josephus records the death toll at 3000. Archelaus sent heralds around the city announcing the cancellation of Passover.
The writings of Josephus do not record the time [after midnight], or the speed of response [suddenly]. The death toll by horsemen only was 3000 suggesting the death toll was much greater than 3000. Please refer to  http://www.ccel.org/j/josephus/works/ant-17.htm 
Antiquities of the Jews Book XVII Ch.9, para 3
… he [Archelaus] sent out the whole army upon them, and sent the horsemen to prevent those that had their tents without the temple from assisting those that were within the temple, and to kill such as ran away from the footmen when they thought themselves out of danger; which horsemen slew three thousand men, while the rest went to the neighboring mountains. 96.50.220.84 (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you.

message: The article mentions the Biblical claim that Joseph planned to return from exile in Egypt after hearing that Herod Archelaus' father, Herod the Great, had died.

Template talk:Pop Will Eat Itself

message: I'm a fan of Pop Will Eat Itself, but I don't think that the template in its current form is very useful.  By my count, the temple contains nearly 50 links to various PWEI-related pages, only five of which are blue links.  The discography section in particular is huge and doesn't contain any working PWEI-specific links.  Would anyone mind if I removed the whole discography section?  It can get added back as pages for the albums are created, but for the time being it isn't serving any navigational purpose. - Rynne 18:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, when I created the template, the point was to outline a framework for the articles that needed to be created for the Poppies.  I felt that they had such a rich catalog, and pretty much the only content on them in WP was the main band article.  I was hoping that editors would step in and start creating some of the articles.  I mean, there's not much point in having a template to link related articles together if there's only one article.  I was planning on creating some of the articles myself, but it's a matter of time, plus the fact that all the CD's I need for reference are temporarily in storage for a few weeks, while I move my residence.  We do need some sort of model to follow for the articles too.  So, rather than deleting the discography, why don't you go ahead and create an article or two and give us a starting point?   Tabanger  00:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Here is the text that needs to be translated - 
帝启
元年癸亥，帝即位于夏邑。大飨诸侯于钧台。 （《左氏．昭四年传》：“夏启有钧台之享。”） 诸侯从帝归于冀都。 
大飨诸侯于璇台。 （《文选．王元长曲水诗序》：“至如夏后，二龙载驱璇台之上。”注引《易．归藏》曰：“昔者夏后启筮享神于晋之墟，作为璇台，于水之阳。”） 
二年，费侯伯益出就国。 （《晋书．束皙传》引《纪年》：“益干启位，启杀之。”《史通》《疑古篇》、《杂说篇》两引“益为后启所诛”。此独云“二年，费侯伯益出就国。”盖故与古本立异。观后附注于“伊尹自立”云“误以摄政为真”。于“太甲杀伊尹”云“文与前后不类”，此则易其本文，彼则加以案语，盖正文与注出于一人所搜集也。） 
王帅师伐有扈，大战于甘。 （原注：有扈，在始平鄠县。《尚书序》：“启与有扈氏战于甘之野，作《甘誓》。”《甘誓》：“大战于甘。”原注七字《左传．昭元年》注文。） 
六年，伯益薨，祠之。 （《越绝书》：“益死之后，启岁善牺牲以祠之。”） 
八年，帝使孟涂如巴□讼。 （《海内南经》：“夏后启之臣曰孟涂，是司神于巴，巴人请讼于孟涂之所。”） 
十年，帝巡狩，舞九韶于大穆之野。 （《海外西经》；“大乐之野，夏后启于此舞九代。一曰大遗之野。”郭注：“《大荒经》云‘天穆之野’。 ”《大荒西经；“夏后开上三嫔于天，得《九辨》与《九歌》以下，此天穆之野，高二千仞，开焉得始歌《九招》。”郭注：“ 
《竹书》曰：‘夏后开□九韶也。 ’”《御览》八十二引《帝王世纪》：“启升后十年，舞《九韶》。”） 
十一年，放王季子武观于西河。 （原注：武观即五观也。观国，今顿丘卫县。《楚语》：“ 启有五观。”韦注：“五观，启子，太康昆弟也。”《墨子．非乐下》“于《武观》曰：‘启乃淫溢康乐，野于饮食’”云云，是《武观》乃书篇名，非人名，此以 “五观”为“武观》，乃杂采二书为之。观国，今顿丘卫县，亦《左传．昭元年》注文。） 
十五年，武观以西河叛。 （《汉书．地理志》东郡有畔观县。案，本畔、观二县，自宋本以下，皆误以为一县，联缀不分。） 
彭伯寿帅师征西河，武观来归。 （《书钞》十三引《纪年》：“启征西河。”《路史．后纪》十三：“既征西河。”注：“《纪年》在二十五年。 ”《御览》八十二引《帝王世纪》：“启三十五年征河西。”此系之十五年者，以此既依《路史》启十六年陟，则不得有二十五年、三十五年也。《逸周书．尝麦解》：“其在殷之五子，忘伯禹之命，假国无正，用胥兴作乱，遂亡厥国，皇天哀禹，赐彭寿思正夏略。”） 
十六年陟。 （《路史．后纪》十三： “启在位十有六岁，年九十一。”此本之。《真诰》十五引《竹书》：“启即位三十九年，亡年七十八。”《路史》注引《纪年》：“启二十九年，年九十八。”与今本迥异。《御览》八十二引《帝王世纪》：“启在位九年。”《通鉴外纪》：“启在位九年。”又引皇甫谧曰：“十年。”）

五年秋九月庚戌朔，日有食之。 （《新唐书．历志》：“张说《历议》：新历，仲康五年癸巳岁九月庚戌朔，日蚀在房二度。”） 
命胤侯帅师征羲和。 （伪《书．胤征》：“惟仲康肇位四海，胤侯命掌六师，羲和废厥德，酒荒于厥邑，胤后承王命徂征。”） 
六年，锡昆吾命作伯。 （《郑语》： “昆吾为夏伯矣。”）

二年，征风及黄夷。 （《御览》八十二及《后汉书．东夷传》注引《

七年，于夷来宾。 （《后汉书．东夷传》注、《外纪》注、《路史．后纪》十三注均引《纪年》：“七年，于夷来宾。”） 
八年，寒浞杀羿，使其子浇居过。 （见《左．襄四年传》，但《左传》杀羿封浇非一年事。） 
九年，相居于斟灌。 （《水经．巨洋水注》、《汉书．地理志》注、《路史．后纪》十三引臣瓒曰：“《汲冢古文》：‘相居斟灌。’”） 
十五年，商侯相土作乘马。 （《周礼．校人》注、《荀子．解蔽篇》注引《世本》：“相土作乘马。”） 
遂迁于商丘。 （《左氏．襄九年传》：“昔陶唐之火正阏伯居商丘，相土因之。”） 
二十年，寒浞灭戈。 （《左．襄四年传》：“寒浞处浇于戈。”） 
二十六年，寒浞使其子帅师灭斟灌。 （《左．襄四年传》：“使浇用师灭斟灌及斟寻氏。” ） 
二十七年，浇伐斟鄩，大战于潍，覆其舟，灭之。 （《楚辞．天问》：“覆舟斟寻，何道取之？”） 
二十八年，寒浞使其子浇弑帝，后缗归于有仍。 （《左．哀元年传》：“昔有过浇杀斟灌以伐斟寻，灭夏后相。后缗方娠，逃出自窦，归于有仍，生少康焉。 ”）

斟灌之墟，是为帝丘。后缗方娠，逃出自窦，归于有仍。 （三句见上。）伯靡奔有鬲氏。 （见上。） 
夏世子少康生。 （原注：丙寅年。《左．哀元年传》：“后缗方娠，逃出自窦，归于有仍，生少康焉。”） 
少康自有仍奔虞。 （原注：乙酉年。《左．哀元年传》：“少康为仍牧正，浇使椒求之，逃奔有虞。”） 
伯靡自鬲帅斟鄩、斟灌之师以伐浞。 （《左．襄四年传》：“靡自有鬲氏收二国之烬以灭浞，而立少康。”）

伯子杼帅师灭戈。 （《左．襄四年传》：“后杼灭豷于戈。”又《哀元年传》：“使季杼诱豷。”） 
伯靡杀寒浞。 （见上。） 
少康自纶归于夏邑。 （原注：乙巳年。《左．哀元年传》：“虞思于是妻之以二姚，而邑诸纶。”案原本小注：“寒浞自丙寅至乙巳，凡四十年。 ”《通鉴外纪》羿八年，浞三十二年，亦四十年。而此书附注云：“夏有王与无王，用岁四百七十一年。”去寒浞四十年，得四百三十一年，与《易纬稽览图》云“ 禹四百三十一年”合，盖即据《 
稽览图》以定寒浞之年也。） 
明年，后缗生少康。既长，为仍牧正，惎浇，能戒之。浇使椒求之，将至仍，少康逃奔有虞，为之庖正，以除其害。虞思于是妻之以二姚，而邑诸纶。有田一成，有众一旅，能布其德，而兆其谋，以收夏众，抚其官职。 （以上出《左．哀元年传》。）夏之遗臣伯靡，自有鬲氏收二斟以伐浞。 （见上。）浞恃浇皆康娱，日忘其恶而不为备。（ 
出《楚辞．离骚》。）少康使汝艾谍浇。 （见上。）初，浞娶纯狐氏，有子早死，其妇曰女歧，寡居。浇强圉，往至其户，阳有所求。女歧为之缝裳，共舍而宿。汝艾夜使人袭断其首，乃女歧也。浇既多力，又善走，艾乃畋猎，放犬逐兽，因嗾浇颠陨，乃斩浇以归于少康。 （出《楚辞．天问》而又为之辞。）于是，夏众灭浞，奉少康归于夏邑。诸侯始闻之，立为天子，祀夏配天，不失旧物。 （末二语出《左．哀元年传》。）

*The Battle of Antietam, fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, as part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil, and was the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with almost 23,000 casualties.

message: Are the factoids that Swinburne and Forster swam here worth their (unreferenced) paragraph? Lots of people have swum there. I'm sure that lots of notable people have swum there. Even notable literary people ... so, is it a big deal that these particular two did? I'm happy to discuss, but without something of note and a ref or two, I am tempted to think it should come out; otherwise we are, in effect, just saying that it's a pretty coastal place with a beach ... people swim there.

Talk:Norton Radstock

message: It has been suggested to me that this article should be split into 2 seperate ones for Midsomer Norton & Radstock - as they do have seperate identities (even though growing ever closer together) & it is only because of local authority boundaries that they are joined together. Any Thoughts?— Rod talk 09:32, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is rediculous to combine Norton and Radstock. Writhlington (quite rightly) has its own entry and that is somewhat more 'physically merged' with Radstock than Norton is (for the record I am certainly not advocating merging Writhlington with 'Norton Radstock' :) Bobgateaux (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: OK 3 comments in favour of splitting & non against in 14 months so I have been bold & split the towns of Radstock & Midsomer Norton out into separate articles. They all still need a bit of tidying up but I hope this is what was intended.— Rod talk 20:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest merging the Clandown article into this one as it is unlikely to be large enough by itself.— Rod talk 16:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't see the points for consideration - could you just put them here? It would be helpful if you could register for an account to make communication easier.— Rod talk 12:03, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree.  It makes more sense to include Clandown as a paragraph or subsection of the civil parish. Skinsmoke (talk) 17:06, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now merged Clandown into this article but left a redirect which can always be separated and expanded later.— Rod talk 21:05, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

message: What this article say about the villagers of Ein Neqova (= Beit Naqquba), does not fit with what Morris say about that village in his "1948 and after" -book, see:
*Benny Morris (1994): "1948 and After." . (Chapter 8, p. 257-289: The Case of Abu Ghosh and Beit Naqquba, Al Fureidis and Jisr Zarka in 1948 -or Why Four Villages Remained.)
...for one thing,  the villagers did not settle in Ein Rafa (the Ein Rafa villagers never moved), but instead resettled on some new land in 1964.

message: The use of the unhelpful term "peace activist" to describe Peled and to link him with his son's anti-Israel activism, suggests that this article was actually edited by Miko Peled and is an extension of the self promoting Wikipedia article on (and probably by) Miko Peled. This gives the impression of self promotion.  CaseyHamMD (talk) 20:12, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
