message: Isn't the final parapgraph here slightly misleading? I was under the impression that the new user account was created before this incident, and this another of the reasons for the presumption that Danny wasn't working under OFFICE. - Estel (talk) 19:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends when you're suggesting the incident started, I would say it was created during the incident. The account didn't exist when the pages were originally protected, and I'm not aware that anybody said the failure to use this particular account had anything to do with the dispute, although the suggestion was made at some point to have a dedicated account. The Dannyisme account is mostly relevant going forward, so I didn't want to confuse the narrative of the incident itself by mentioning it in a chronological context. --Michael Snow 06:27, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you guys really know what you're doing? I've never ever looked at the Community Bulletin Board or the Signpost pages before, nor am I really interested in the internal politics of Wikipedia. Reading something like this just holds the whole thing up for ridicule, in my opinion. Please don't delete these genuine views - I think of myself as an ordinary, Wikipedia contributor, which is what I am - one of many thousands who would be horrified to read all this.

What makes you think the others are less important than the ones you put emphasis? 227, do you have some kind of computation program to determine which saint has how much value in Allah's kingdom? So you write some of the names with bold font to emphasize but not others? Or are you using them to validate your master's sainthood? Do not put emphasis on any names. Because you can not present a scientific explanation for your choice. And the names of the previous masters, they include titles which must be removed.

Talk:Litany of the Saints

message: No doubt the litany of the saints is an important topic to be covered.  That's how I clicked here, I was curious.  However, the bulk of this article is the verbatim latin, and english translation.  I would have expected this article to address the meaning and signifigance of the litany.  The litany in its entirety would probably be more appropriate in a wiki sister project, like wikitext. --Garrettcobb 23:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed the text to be parallel. In the process, I noticed the translation of the psalms is wrong, because the number of verses in English differ from Latin. I have also noticed that in a number of places the translation appears to insert words not in the Latin original, e.g. the repeated translation of "Dómine" as "good Lord" when it simply means "Lord" (as in for example "Líbera nos, Dómine" or "Exáudi nos, Dómine" or "Parce nobis, Dómine".

message: I was a student at St.Andrews University in the mid 1980s and a term which was applied to a similar demographic was the 'Yah'.  This term was applied to people fitting under the 'Rah' definition and also those that might be called 'Sloane Rangers'.  The term clearly came from their pronunciation of the affirmative 'yes' as 'yah'.  I think such people are often to be heard braying yah or rah, the expansive 'ah' indicating their high status and control of the situation.
