Orphaned references in Biblical terminology for race

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Biblical terminology for race's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested page-name change: Bible-based interpretations of racial and national origins

I'm not comfortable with the title of this page. For this reason: only the top-tier level of info (Shem, Ham, Japheth) is about so-called "race." The rest of the info -- the majority of the page! -- is about nationality (national divisions) rather than race.

Also, though the Gottingen / Gatterer references may be the first "modern" attempt to "scientifically" equate the Biblical scheme with the names "Hamite", "Japhethite" and "Semite", there is a precedent in the (medieval?) European equation of the Three Magi with three continents, and portrayals of them as three different races. The way it's presently worded, it sounds like this three-race concept came out of the blue in the late 18th century. Traversetravis (talk) 03:40, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Title

I think the current title is potentially misleading. This article isn't about the Bible's terminology for race but about Biblical terminology that is used for race. Srnec (talk) 22:34, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Onceinawhile: Do you have any thoughts? Racial terminology drawn from the Bible? Srnec (talk) 13:10, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn’t interpreted in that way; it has been intended to follow the structure of Color terminology for race. To my mind it is clear what is intended, but I may be too close to it. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:51, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
