thread_title:  Minor confusion 

message: Hey to the (five, tops) people reading this article. I just noticed that the translation of Psalms 78:35 might be a bit off.
"And they remembered that God [elōhīm] was their rock,
and the high God [ēl elyōn] their redeemer"
Might be better as:
"And they remembered the Gods [elōhīm] were their rock,
and the high God [ēl elyōn] their redeemer"
I say this due to the use of "elōhīm", sometimes a plural, when "elyōn" was established as "God" seporatly in Psalms,
and I believe my translation reads better.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.56.254.135 (talk) 14:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Bleiburg is, as stated, a town with a sizeable slovene population. Under the terms of article 7 of the Austrian State Treaty, the town is supposed to be bilingual, with bilingual town markings. (the effect to which this article is actually in power is a different matter) Shouldn't the slovene name of Pliberk be at least mentioned in this article? 213.172.254.126 15:10, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Should piano really be considered a main instrument in the infobox? Springsteen has played piano enough times to consider a semi-primary instrument. 92.3.214.187 (talk) 23:36, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The infobox is a summary of the article. There is no mention of "piano" within the article.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:54, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

text: Because an IP editor has insisted on adding piano twice in the past few days, apparently based on some other IP editor having raised the issue here on the talk page as if that is enough, let me quote what the infobox instructions for musical artists say: "This field is only relevant for individuals. General class(es) of instrument(s) played by the artist (e.g. guitar or violin). Include singing, rapping, beatboxing or scat singing if relevant. Separate multiple entries by using commas,  or . Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used." (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template%3AInfobox_musical_artist#instrument, with a footnote omitted and boldface added.) The constant desire some people have to add every bit of trivial minutia is a constant problem on Wikipedia and it's why the infobox instructions say not to try to list every last instrument. If it were otherwise, then why stop with piano? Why not add harmonica as well in view of songs like "The Promised Land" or "The River"? 1995hoo (talk) 14:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

message: I think under the Personal Life section there should be mention of Springsteen's unique and only vaguely-explained relationship with the late Clarence Clemons, as well as his support for the LGBTQ+ community.  This Salon article is a tad unclear about things, but I'd imagine with some other sources for clarity, it would make a worthwhile addition to the article.

Talk:Gravity's Rainbow

message: As noted by someone else earlier on this Talk Page, various elements of the "Plot Summary" section contained errors, for example Pirate Prentice clearly works for the SOE and not ACHTUNG, and at no point in the novel does any character ride a Zeppelin. I removed these errors and rewrote the majority of the Plot Summary section, which I believed was confusing (for example, it mentioned Enzian and Blicero, two relatively major characters, without providing adequate context of their role in the book's plot). I tried to clarify the plot summary and make it easier for someone who has never read Gravity's Rainbow to understand.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.28.152.34 (talk) 03:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I guess the novel includes instances of rape/BDSM/ephebophilia/etc. but is it about those topics? See WP:CATDEF. These topics don't even seem to be explicitly mentioned anywhere in the article (or at least ctrl+f returns no results for "BDSM", "gay", "homosexual", "pedophile", "rape", etc. I didn't try to carefully parse the summary for indirect references though).

Wikipedia talk:CROSSBOW

message: Hi
Just a few thoughts: we probably need to focus on what Wikipedia currently does not do, rather than on the current demographic and what it does more or less well. A quick list off the top of my head would produce somenting like:
*Wikipedia:List of humanities subjects poorly covered or not covered at all (I still think humanities are very poorly covered as of now)
*Wikipedia:List of Africa subjects poorly covered or not covered at all
*Wikipedia:List of Asia subjects poorly covered or not covered at all
*Wikipedia:List of womens studies subjects poorly covered or not covered at all
*Wikipedia:List of ethnic cultures subjects poorly covered or not covered at all
*List of stubs, short articles and missing articles that would normally be long articles in other encyclopaedias
I am also copying this here from Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week because I think that this kind of focused FAC idea could usefully address bias: 
Currently COTW is too big and too many minority interest articles get lost after a week or two. I would propose having a number of sub-pages: COTW/Science/Arts and literature/Popular culture/History and politics/Biography for example. Then each page could set its own weekly minimum for commitments to contribute (note:not votes). That way, a lot more articles would get improved, the management of each subpage would be easier, and types of articles that currently have no hope of being COWT would be in with a shout. Also, it would reduce the number of passing interest votes by getting people to say 'I think this needs improving and I'm willing to help.' rather than 'Why not.'. Filiocht 15:03, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: As a sidelight on this, I found the following on User:Jimbo Wales/Pushing To 1.0:
Britannica exists to support a particular canon, that being, the British and now American concept of "what history is." It is, for instance, light on the History of India, China, Africa, Latin America and figures of those cultures - one way Wikipedia can differentiate itself is to say that it is less Anglo-centric than Britannica.  Build up an audience in developing nations who can really benefit from having a neutral encyclopedia — like in China where Wikipedia.org is banned, but they won't be able to keep all the CD-ROMs out.  It may thus make sense to *focus on Chinese figures and history* deliberately.  How can they keep out the only encyclopedia that does their history justice?

message: I have moved Názerat Illit back to Nazerat Illit using the "move" function.  This is the proper way to revert article moves, as it preserves the edit histories.  Moving by copy/pasting article texts from one article name to another is against the rules. - Gilgamesh 13:28, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The "ə" is because the first "a" is an open qamaz (ā), just like the first "a" in names like Asenath and Basemath.  These too are often contracted to "Asnat" and "Basmat" in Israeli Hebrew.  It's a throwback from Mishnaic vocalization, where āC-C was not possible in Hebrew (āCəC was required instead), because it forbade nearly all consonant clusters that Israeli Hebrew permits so freely.  Also, despite Hebrew Language Academy conventions, I have never seen an Israeli city name that uses "th" unless it's based off the English or Arabic version of the name, as in "Nazareth". - Gilgamesh 21:11, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. I just checked the dictionary, and indeed the first vowel is the long qamaz. I was quite surprised to see it, and not a patach. Well, you live and learn ;) Interestingly, the dictionary shows the "Nazrat" vowelization also for the original Arabic city of Nazareth, not just for the upper city. This conflicts with how the people I know call that city - Nazeret", with two segolim. Maybe I need to delete the pronunciation "explanation" I wrote in the article, if it's not universally correct for Israeli Hebrew speakers (naturally, the Arabic speakers pronounce the name of their city differently).
