Talk:Endowment tax

message: The following section of text has been removed per Wikipedia:Verifiability A Google search for (Professor Edward McCaffrey  Daniel Shaviro financial endowment) found a single reference (http://law.gmu.edu/faculty/papers/docs/03-23.pdf) that was not found to support the statement.  Please recall that per  Wikipedia:Verifiability#Burden_of_evidence "The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article. If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it."
Begin removed section
Professors Edward McCaffrey and Daniel Shaviro believe that a person's true wage rate should be an adequate proxy for a person's financial endowment. As such, the endowment tax they envision is not a wealth tax but an implicit periodic head tax that is assessed per year irrepective of actual earned income. Therefore, hughly skilled lawyers would could earn a million dollars a year would not escape tax liability if they chose to become beachcombers.

thread_title: Remove section of text

message: What exactly is this article supposed to be about?   It starts out saying "Endowment tax is a US taxation of some endowments".   Really?  No other country has one?   Then for some reason it veers into talking about endowments of US colleges, getting that wrong (some have endowments in the tens of billions), talks about the fools in the US Congress, has a specific paragraph on one endowment tax, and then we get the rest of the article which have almost nothing to do with anything in the introductory section.
I'm not clueful or a Wikipedian, but it looks like someone took a generic article and then stuck the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 information where it doesn't belong.  Hopefully someone out there can clean up this mess. 98.6.11.10 (talk) 14:31, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Equirria

message: The last sentence of the article is very vague due to its high content of (I'm assuming) Latin words and phrases, two of which are red-linked. Could someone translate this so it makes some sense to those of us who aren't ancient Romans? 
This is the sentence I'm referring to: There was a traditional fight over its head between the inhabitants of the Subura who wanted it for the Turris Mamilia, and those of the Via Sacria who wanted it for the regia. --clpo13(talk) 18:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: The Entire Thing

message: This is reminiscent of the Vedic aśvamedha horse sacrifice. "It was believed that the performance of 1 such sacrifices would lead to the attainment of the seat or world of Indra, who is, therefore, always represented as trying to prevent the completion of the hundredth sacrifice." (Wisdom Library: wisdomlib.org) Both cultures stem from Proto-Indo-European and both cultures were influenced by each other after Alexander of Macedon's campaigns. Makes one curious if hecatomb & aśvamedha are related—particularly with the raised status the bull and the horse received early in each culture, respectively. 2604:2D80:DE11:1300:C513:F658:45E8:E528 (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

message: The translation used in the article now is of the JPS Tanakh.
It translates the Hebrew וְיַעֲשׂוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַפָּסַח בְּמוֹעֲדוֹ as "Let the Israelite people offer the passover sacrifice at its set time." I like the NASB translation better here, since it keeps more to the literal meaning of the passage: "Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time." It translates הפסח as "the Passover" rather than "the passover sacrifice."—Biosketch (talk) 05:33, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Biosketch, interesting - I hadn't noticed that (the verse wasn't my contribution), but presumably this metonymy of pesach for [korban] pesach is commonish? In ictu oculi (talk) 10:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Sacrifice" 

message: For all the fumbling and disagreement about Google Books search tails, the results for Google Scholar seem unchallenged:
* Google Scholar 84 hits for "korban pesach" - most of which occur in italics after the English
* Google Scholar 1,170 hits for "passover sacrifice"
* Google Scholar 352 hits for "passover offering"
+ consistency with main article Passover. 
So at some point this move discussion will come back to try and reach a more broad consensus of Wikipedia editors. Anyone reading this Talk page who wants to be the proposer feel free to do so.

thread_title: Small change 

message: Article currently says: According to some Talmudic authorities, such as Rav Kahana IV, women counted in the minyan for offering the passover sacrifice (B.Pesachim 79b). This is misleading. As written, the article implies that according to R. Kahana women were counted for the 30 required in each tranche of people offering the sacrifice. However, the talmud quoted talks of a situation where a major portion of the populace was levitically impure; if a majority is impure, then the paschal sacrifice is offered in an impure state. If the majority is pure, then the impure people need to make up the sacrifice 1 month later. The question is whether women count in determining whether a majority of the people are impure. It does not refer to the groups of people offering sacrifices. Pollira (talk) 04:48, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Stable bandage

message: It occurs to me that adding a section here on "how to wrap" such a bandage would be helpful to the general public.  However, the general public does not need to be wrapping legs, except in practise.  The author of this Very Nicely Written! article has said as much, but perhaps did not have time to complete the article with a "how to" section?
I would like to contribute such a section, as I have wrapped, oh my, too many legs to count, under the watchful eye of several different excellent barn managers, all with their own quite valid  "theories of wrapping", some of which are diametrically opposed.  There are also several textbooks on my shelves which describe the process, so citations should be easily obtained.
Seems like a combination of adding the "how to" with the possibility of lively debate would fit the purpose of Wikipedia.
Comment?  I know I should be bold (how do I make that hypertexted?) but this would be my first article contribution.  I'll wait and see if anyone responds.  Soltera 19:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The article George Augustus Eliott, 1st Baron Heathfield contains the following sentence.
He became an Engineer Extraordinary in 1744 and Engineer Ordinary in 1747 when he was stationed at Sheerness.
I had a vague idea what it meant, but thought it begged for a link to clarify it. Wikipedia has several occurrences of Engineer Extraordinary but only with the phrase Engineer Ordinary. However, by analogy with ships being laid up “in ordinary” I found an article with exactly that title. 
Unfortunately, my understanding remains vague. My working definition is that it was fairly common for officers to serve as engineers, but they weren’t permanent assignments. So they were an Engineer Extraordinary.
However, some officers subsequently obtained a permanent posting as an engineer so they became Engineer Ordinary. 
Rather than flagging it for further explanation, I could make a link to what exists for lack of anything better. But it remains a vague concept for most readers. Can anyone clarify my understanding or, better yet, offer a citation?
