Talk:Arba'ah Turim

message: Rabbi Yoel Sirkis wrote the commentary Bayit Chadash, not Beth Chadash as the article states. Beth Chadash would mean "the house of new." Bayit Chadash means "the/a new house." This title is derived from the verse in Deuteronomy (22:8): "When you build a new house, you shall fence off your roof...", or from the verse, ibid (20:5): "'... who is the man who has built a new house and not yet inaugerated it...'"

message: "The Tur is composed in four divisions ("Arba'ah Turim"); these are further organised by topic, by section (siman, pl. simanim) and by law (se'if, pl. se'ifim)."   There are no se'ifim in the Tur (sic.)  Rather, the se'ifim were introduced in later works (esp. Shulhan Arukh.)  Publishers have since inserted the Shulhan Arukh's se'if divisions into the Tur.  This is why occasionally the Tur will seem to skip a se'if.  Rather, this is a spot where the Shulhan Arukh added material between topics covered in the Tur.
Quite so.  I have altered the article accordingly. --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 14:43, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:A. Peter Dewey

message: If, as the article states, the Viet Minh and the French were not yet in conflict, and, as stated in that article, the Vietnam War was the Second Indochina War, with the First Indochina War starting in 1946, is there in fact any reason to consider A. Peter Dewey a casualty of that war? By the same logic, one might search for the first American killed in Japan and label him the first American casualty of World War II.
_______________________________________________________________________
That's right. Let's say Vietnam simply. Dewey came to Saigon in the South from Colombo ( Ceylon) as did the Free French Detachment in the impedimenta of General Cracey with his Indian Division to disarm the Japanese, while Archimedes Patti came to Hanoi from Kunming (Yunnan).

Talk:Lady Mary Whitley

message: I created this page in Wikipedia on 10 May, 2005 using the various references as stated on the page.  If anyone requires contact information for Judith Jane Darrell or other family members I can provide that.  I did not want to put it on the web-page for protection of the family's privacy.  ESQ24
I was caught-up in making sure the appearance was acceptable and making minor spelling corrections that I forgot to include Lady May's two youngest children; which I subsequently added (Sarah and Charles).  I apologise for the error.  ESQ24
In fact, most of the information available on Mary Cambridge and her husband Peter Whitley states that they were married in 1951 (not 1941) and that they had only two children (Sarah and Charles), and that the children bear their father's surname, not a hyphenated one. Some confirmation that the marriage date was 1941 and that they had six children from a written source would be desirable. - Nunh-huh 00:12, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Totafoth is not the same as tefillin. The tefillin are both the tefillin shel rosh (head) and the tefillin shel yad (hand/arm in biblical Hebrew).

message: "The obligation of tefillin is mentioned four times in the Torah:"
This doesn't sound right in wikivoice, IMO it's a statement of faith, and the lead says The biblical verses often cited as referring to tefillin are obscure. Also, per WP:RSPSCRIPTURE, some brilliant secondary sourcing would be good.
My suggestion is something like "The practice of wearing tefillin is based on these four verses..." but it should have a good non-primary source.

Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion/Archive debates

message: I see someone has (sort of) started an index on this page.  I think it would be worthwhile to build on this, and have an index where people can find specific discussions without searching through months worth of individual daily logs.  I think, perhaps, it should be on a separate page, though.  With links to all the daily logs, plus a full index, this could get extremely unwieldly.  The way I'd set it up would be to have the name of a category, the final decision and a link to the full discussion.  This way people can see the results at a glance, if they're interested, without going off to the log page.  Comments?  --Azkar 22:59, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ardhanarishvara

message: There is little information that I've found about Ardhanarishwara on the internet but is an aspect of Shiva and Shakti that I am very intrigued with.
What I know already about Ardhanarishwara [Also Ardhanariswara, Ardhnariswara, Ardhnarishwara and a couple others that are probably out there] is that this Deity is the combined entities of Shiva and Shakti [Shakti, which is also his wife in her many forms of Devi, Durga, Kali, among other names describing a different aspect of the same thing] thus one of the names "ShivaShakti." 
It would be interesting to see more information gathered here about this deity.
Ardhanaarinateshwara or Mohiniraaj is my family's kuldaivat. The main temple for us is in Nevaasa, Maharashtra near Shirdi. This avtaar is of Shiva and Vishnu to kill a rakshas who had a blessing that he cannot be killed by either a male or female. So Vishnu took mohini's avtaar and together with Shiva the avtaar is called Mohiniraaj or Ardhanaarinateshwara. I will expand on this shortly. BhooshanPathak 02:41, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The section was deleted because it was really about any kind of database abstraction, because the asserted complexity is actually a matter of taste, and because the asserted runtime abstraction penalty is simply not plausible: a DAO transforms data between objects and single columns, which is unavoidable, and executes the same queries as any other abstraction or non-abstraction, without adding excess baggage other than function calls and object references.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.208.61.202 (talk) 11:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pending issues 

message: The DAO pattern and the ActiveRecord pattern are quite distinct patterns for data access.  The ActiveRecord pattern is characterized by a domain model that "knows" it is persistent - each entity class has a Save() method on it. In contrast, the entire point of the DAO pattern is that the entities do not know that they are persistent objects.  This maintains a stricter separation of concerns. Each pattern has its advantages and disadvantages, but to merge the two articles, and lose the distinction between the two patterns, makes no sense. Compare Martin Fowler's articles on ActiveRecordhttp://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/activeRecord.html and DataMapperhttp://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataMapper.html (his name for DAO).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.188.66.141 (talk) 01:28, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
