message: I recommend that inscription and evidence that is found in tamil literature must be given top priority when we talk about the tamil empires rather than promoting buddhist chronicles or information that are gathered from foreign sources.Please make some changes.Maybe sme of the buddhist works or the works that is done by the mauryans or etc may help current historians to interpret better about western civilisation but this matter alone cant be accepted that the works that is foreign to Tamil Country can be used to state the historic condition of Ancient and Medieval Tamil country and directly underestimate the historic accounts that is present in tamil literature or inscription--Tan Meifen (talk) 12:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bertha

message: The Word Barta in Aramaic means "daughter". Rendered into Yemenite dialect (which is used as the standard transliterations into formal English, etc..., ie. words like Beth, Sabbath) it becomes Bertha. I heard a few weeks ago about a connection to the name Bertha but I don't know of any text to back it up. I will say though that many Talmudic names come from the Hebrew and Aramaic terms for various roles in the family: Rav Papa (father), Abba (father), Rav Acha (brother), so I don't think it's too much of a stretch but I want evidence before proceeding.

replies: text: But note that "among" vs. "amongst" is a matter of vocabulary, not spelling, so I don't think it belongs into this article. Gawaon (talk) 13:19, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  it's funny because if one gets qualitative about it it's very borderline—there's no semantic distinction and very slight phonological and orthographic distinctions, so it very nearly functions as a mere spelling variant for many users. (Do a lot of people use the two in free variation? Americans tend to get roasted for being posh if they say whilst even though there's less than nothing posh about its usage.) Remsense诉 13:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have to go with Gawaon here.  "Among" and "amongst" are different words.  I would say  but probably ; the opposite choice in either sentence would sound a little off (for the second sentence probably just because it's a fixed phrase). --Trovatore (talk) 01:52, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Yes, let's have a source! I'm an OE user, but I'd prefer "yoghurt" and "foetus". "Fetus" just seems American to me. Johnbod (talk) 14:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

text: To add some  I think ultimately this whole debate might lead nowhere, since Oxford English is simply not so well defined that one could make detailed statements about specific words such as these. True, the OED seems to prefer "fetus", while Collins Dictionary and Cambridge Dictionary prefer "foetus". However New Hart's Rules, which is cited as another canonical reference for OE, complicates things by saying "In British spelling fetus is used in technical texts but foetus in general readership; US usage is always fetus." As for "yogurt", all of OED, Collins, and Cambridge prefer it; if a modern British dictionary recommends "yoghurt", I haven't found it. The OED lists "among" and "amongst" equally, and New Hart's says: "amidst/amongst/whilst These are generally not used in US English" (silently accepting their usage in British English as fine). So there's nothing here that can change the fact that -ize instead of -ise is the defining feature of OE compared to other British English usage. Gawaon (talk) 15:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Pinchas Kehati

message: An edit of the article in November 2006, later removed in December 2006 indicated an allegation of plagiarism.  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pinchas_Kehati&diff=91245337&oldid=91233904
the edit contains the following reference to scholars...
* "It has long been alleged in scholarly circles that..."
* "Kehati's commentary was subject to much scrutiny and suspicion by certain scholars of note." 
* "These men cross-compared..." 
* "The scholars concluded..."
Can anyone supply the information about the scholars who did this work?  I see "MegalehEmet", the person who supplied and then removed the edit, has some unflattering information to say about a number of other Rabbis on wikipedia. However in this case I happen to have information about Kehati's use of the Symcha Petrushka commentary and would be interested in facts that are behind the statements that were made above.  --Gil (talk) 04:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Misnayos Mvoaaros 

message: The article is a little unclear on whether Kehati published his commentary as a direct response to Holocaust survivors who wanted to learn Mishnah in memorial for lost relatives and friends.  Did Kehati's commentary happen to fill this niche or was his work directly inspired by the needs of Shoah survivors?  Also, the relationship between Kehati's work and post-Holocaust learning lacks any citation in the article.  A quick google in Hebrew and English did not turn up any clear sources.  If anyone knows more about this topic and could fill in the sourcing and content gaps, it would be greatly appreciated.

Since his father's levaya was on 7 December 1941, and surely he didn't take over the yeshiva until after shiva was over, the only way he could have still been 24 is if he was born after 13-Dec-16. But maybe the information I read was wrong, and he was really born in early 1917, which would allow him to be 24 when he took over, and 91 when he was relieved of his duty.  -- Zsero (talk) 21:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Yechezkel Sarna

message: The article says:
During this period, he developed close relationships with the Chofetz Chaim and Radin's rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Naftoli Trop. This brief period, Rabbi Sarna often said, was one of the most beautiful in his life. Recognizing Rabbi Sarna's unique capabilities, the Chofetz Chaim held him in high esteem. Thus, when the Chofetz Chaim was asked to travel to Memel to defend a student who had been accused of espionage on behalf of the Germans, he asked Rabbi Sarna to accompany and assist him.
Memel was a German city, ant it was never occupied during WWI.
Rabbi Sarna never revealed the details of this affair. However, he often related that when he informed the Chofetz Chaim that in the end, the student hadn't been condemned to death, but only to six weeks in prison, the Chofetz Chaim cried out, "Fools! Is the Czar's army certain that it will last even six weeks?" In truth, the young man had been sentenced to six years in prison, but Rabbi Sarna chose not tell that to the Chofetz Chaim so as not to upset him. Six weeks later, the Communist Revolution took place and the Czar was deposed. The student was freed a few days later.
Nicholas II abdicated 7 months before the Communist Revolution
