Translation

Currently (2/18/10) the translation is a bit of a mishmash. I think we should use one translation and then where there are varient opinions as to specific phrases insert a footnote with the alternate reading/translation. Does anyone have any objection to this? Guedalia D'Montenegro (talk) 16:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, an anonymous editor changed the translation that appears in the article. This is unnacceptable, because the translation was taken verbatim from Klaas Smelik's book, as indicated in the article. Also, the changes are unsourced. I think it would be appropriate to put alternate translations in a footnote with the source for the alternate translation.Guedalia D'Montenegro (talk) 19:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Photograph

Is it possible to include a picture of the ostracon? I am unclear on the fair use policy for this type of image. I have included a link to the Center for Online Judaic Studies where two photographs are represented. However, that site is also wiki based and include their photographs under fair use doctrine. Can we simply include those images here? Or is the external link good enough? Guedalia D'Montenegro (talk) 16:28, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong title - Hoshavyahu, with an 'o'?!

Throughout the page, that's how it's written. It's only the title that starts with a Ha-! Either-or, and pls. explain how the vowel was guessed and if indeed there are - or can concievably be - doubts. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 04:56, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the article as it now stands has "Hoshavyahu" as the name of a person in the inscription and "Hashavyahu" as the place name. Both the Hebrew Wikipedia article and this one have הושעיהו as the name of the person, but חשביהו as the name of the place in Hebrew Wikipedia -- I don't understand the discrepancy. 17:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
