Talk:Immanuel

message: I found this whole article confusing. It seems to jump into a controversy half way through without explaining the basics. I don't feel qualified to rewrite it because I came to the page looking for a simple explanation of the word/name and I didn't find it. It's really badly written.
:Came here for this. The scope of the article is all over the place. The first sentence makes it seem as if the article is about a name, but then the infobox seems to be about a biblical character, and then the article itself kinda goes on an acid trip rambling about biblical stuff that's not centered around anything in particular. I'm renaming this to make it about the biblical character, for starters, and making some tweaks, and we'll see how this goes from there. --uKER (talk) 17:42, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Confusing article

message: The last paragraph begins as "The gospel of Matthew was probably written in the last two decades of the 1st century, by a highly educated Jew who believed that Jesus was the promised Messiah, "God with us"." There must be a more neutral way of writing it. I tried adding "Experts suggest that" to the beginning, but it was not considered neutral. So, the problem is, how can we word it more neutrally?68.100.116.118 (talk) 02:48, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

message: It's long been common knowledge that the application of virgin in this context is a mistranslation from the septuagint, the hebrew word Alma means only a young unmarried woman, that she "should" be a virgin too is simply implied by jewish law, not by the word itself! The constant use of virgin in this article is a blatant preference of religious bias but it does not represent factual reporting. --5.146.47.75 (talk) 05:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Is a former country one that no longer exists at all, or one that no longer exists in the same form?

text: It is unimportant whether the image shows listening back or recording. The session with Mountain Chief certainly involved the recording of his voice, so the photo is relevant. In fact, it is probably a posed photograph, with the cylinder unmoving and the humans holding still. But it is a fine image, perfectly suitable for this topic, and it should be restored.

Talk:Jonny Gomes

message: User:67.52.255.126 added that Gomes "kiiled his best friend in a car accident", so I researched it.  As it turned out, when he was 16, he and his best friend were BOTH in the backseat of a car driven by two girls (presumably their girlfriends, I guess) that slammed into a telephone pole.  Judging from the lack of source, and the guy's contribution history, I think it vandalism via distortion of facts.
They had a big piece today on Jonny Gomes at MLB.com, and I also found a Newsday article from a week ago, that also detailed his heart attack.  That's where the stuff I added today largely comes from. --Kitch 22:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It keeps getting added, then deleted, guess it's time for some consensus.  Is there any sourcing for The Enforcer being his nickname.  Running a quick google search I saw this article, a blog and youtube reference (Not reliable sources), and a newspaper article that said Gomes was an enforcer, but didn't say he was known as The Enforcer.  Unless it can be shown that this is a real nickname, and not something he was called once, it should go in my opinion.--Cube lurker (talk) 14:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Requested re-assessment

message: A case has been filed at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard which is actually a request for a third opinion, on the list of alumni.  The guideline on lists of people states that people should only be included in a list if they satisfy both notability and verifiability.  If the person is the subject of an article, they are notable, and the reliable sources in the article are the verification.  In practice, this means that people should not be in the list unless they have an article; otherwise, their entry in the list would have to be referenced.  If you have a reliable source indicating that a person satisfies a special notability guideline (e.g., served as a general, competed in the Olympics), it may be in order to create a stub article.  So the answer is that the persons in a list should be the subjects of articles.  Exceptions to this rule are very rare.
