thread_title:  Hyperlink 

message: From the first archive, there's a specific editor who made it (presumably) his mission to mangle all the mentions of the city by removing its hyphenation. I get that the guy has his own issue; I get that the city, like English speakers generally, doesn't really know how to handle hyphenation and doesn't usually bother; but the article should at least include it in the running text as an alt form. Aside from all the sources who you can't help but already note used it, it was the more common English form into the 1940s and remains a major alt form of the city's name. No one is proposing a move but we should stop humo[u]ring that one guy's peeve and note an extremely common and perfectly acceptable English usage in our article on the place. — LlywelynII 11:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Nothing in the article on the city's previous problem with lead poisoning and historical importance for its diagnosis and treatment. See, i.a., 
* .
with the most important bit being on pages 8 and 9: "Similar statements were made in Britain, where the growing white lead industry in Newcastle-upon-Tyne caused waves of illness and even death among women workers: Dr Charles T. Thackrah had early on denounced the serious intoxications linked to the use of lead in industry and described the main symptoms allowing the disease to be diagnosed and patients to be distanced from the source of poisoning (1831), as had Henry Burton, who stated that a greyish coloration of the gums was an unmistakable symptom of lead poisoning, then known as the "Burtonian line" (1840)." — LlywelynII 11:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Secret Army Base?

message: Why Copernicus crater rather than Copernicus (crater) as the article title?  Do people really say "Copernicus crater"?  If so, I would think both words would be capitalized.  If not, the word crater is there only to distinguish this from the astronomer Copernicus and whatever other Copernici besides the crater and the astronomer may exist, in which case parentheses should be used. Michael Hardy 22:43, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen it called "Copernicus crater" in many locations, and I believe that it's similar to how things are named "Mississippi river" or "Mount Everest"; in casual conversation it's fine to call them "Mississippi" or "Everest", but people tend to include the feature type in the name when they're being formal. I don't know if there's a style guide about such things. The one thing I haven't been able to figure out from just looking around, though, is whether the "crater" should be capitalized; some Wikipedia articles on craters did that and others didn't.

:The Moon is only about a half degree (29') across the sky. It has a diameter of 3,476 km while Copernicus is 93 km. So about 46". But it varies slightly depending on the Moon's point in it's orbit. I'm not sure how this is useful to anybody... :) — RJH 19:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Epistle to the Hebrews

message: In May 2013 with this revision the following text was added, without citation:
In May 2017, the claim having been there with "citation required" for years, was removed with this revision.
In August 2021 the claim reappeared with this revision, attributed to a printed source.
In the article on Priscilla and Aquila: Hoppin and others suggest that Priscilla was the author, but that her name was omitted either to suppress its female authorship, or to protect the letter itself from suppression.Hoppin, Ruth. Priscilla's Letter: Finding the Author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. Lost Coast Press, 2000. Adolph von Harnack, "Probabilia uber die Addresse und den Verfasser des Habraerbriefes", Zeitschrift fur die Neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der aelteren Kirche (E. Preuschen, Berlin: Forschungen und Fortschritte, 1900), 1:16–41. English translation available in Lee Anna Starr, The Bible Status of Woman. Zarephath, New Jersey: Pillar of Fire, 1955, 392–415
So I think that it is too much to say "a majority of scholars hold that the author was presumably male" (the citations do not support "a majority of"), and we should also allow for the masculine form being used (originally, or as altered by a copyist) to hide its female authorship, which at the time could have been used to detract from its authority and/or acceptance.
Jinlye (talk) 11:59, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. I have removed that sentence as unsupported by its citation; if you're going to claim that a majority of scholars say something, your source needs to support that. Someone can re-add it as a point against Priscilla's authorship if it really is a significant point in the discussion (i.e., not WP:UNDUE), and as long as they don't push the claim too far.

I ask since the Greek style of Hebrews (as noted below) is considerably different and higher than Paul's Greek, and we don't have a sermon by Paul.  So, this doesn't seem to make sense to me.

'As a proof of the rapidly-growing activity of Englishmen, it may be pointed out that while before 1858 only four summits (the Mittelhorn, or central peak of the Wetterhorn, the highest point of Monte Rosa, Laquinhorn and Pelmo) were first ascended by Englishmen, in the case of the second list only six (Grand Combin, Wildspitze, Marmolata, Nadelhorn, Langkofel and Meije) were not so conquered (if the present writer, an American, be included among the English pro hac vice.).'

Talk:Yomi

message: So how do we fix this? There's a lot of information here, but if we cut out everything that does not have a citation we won't have an article either. For reasons that are obscure whenever an editor suggests we simply just delete articles like this for failing Wiki's own standards people get upset but when an editor says "I see a problem, how do we fix it?" the response seems to be: "why are you asking such a question? why don't you fix it?" I wouldn't mind simply deleting the Yomi page, not because it isn't important to understanding Japanese Mythology, but because no editor since 2005 seems to have cared enough to add a single line of reference here. What's the point of keeping Yomi alive if, as it stands now, it just looks like we simply don't care? Duende-Poetry (talk) 22:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Hmm, Another Article on Japanese Mythology Completely Unsourced

message: "Yomi" is also used in some Japanese Christian texts in places where "Hell" is used in the English versions. For example Revelation 6:8 from the Japanese Bible Society's 1954 translation http://ja.wikisource.org/wiki/%E3%83%A8%E3%83%8F%E3%83%8D%E3%81%AE%E9%BB%99%E7%A4%BA%E9%8C%B2(%E5%8F%A3%E8%AA%9E%E8%A8%B3)#6:8
そこで見ていると、見よ、青白い馬が出てきた。そして、それに乗っている者の名は「死」と言い、それに黄泉が従っていた。彼らには、地の四分の一を支配する権威、および、つるぎと、ききんと、死と、地の獣らとによって人を殺す権威とが、与えられた。
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_(King_James)/Revelation#Chapter_6
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Other versions of that passage, and some other Christian works like the Apostle's Creed, use a term "陰府" which is apparently pronounced the same ("yomi") but written differently. However I don't see that version on the current page so I don't know how it is related to the other "yomi".
