Talk:Qos (deity)

Pronunciation

Does anyone know how to pronounce "Qaus"? Apparently it's related to Hebrew. If anyone knows the pronunciation, could you please add it to the article? 50.149.70.182 (talk) 11:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Qaus should not be the title of the article, but rather Qōs. Whoever created the article used an old encyclopedia, and Qōs is now the default spelling. Anyone wish to make that change? I don't know how to do it.Nishidani (talk) 10:40, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nishidani: I would propose using Qos (deity), as all the English sources seem to be using "Qos" and "(deity)" is necessary for disambiguation. Relevant guidelines: WP:COMMONNAME, WP:PRECISION. Do you agree?

See Help:How to move a page for instructions about moving the article. But do note that you're expected to reach a consensus before making a move, per WP:MV. -- intgr [talk] 12:13, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm incapable of following any instructions so I won't do it myself. As to consensus, we have you and me. No one else edits or in all likelihood will edit this page. Your suggestion is excellent.Nishidani (talk) 14:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

@Nishidani: Ok no problem, I have performed the move. -- intgr [talk] 15:04, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Wonderful (thanks also for the ce, which I may have accidentally disturbed in my last edit). Nice to encounter fast, insightful, efficient editors around here.Nishidani (talk) 15:10, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Earliest attestation qos versus YHWH

The article asserts with citation(11) that the Rammesside theophoric names are attesting to qos and if true that would make qos attested 600 years earlier than YHWH.

This is inaccurate and appears to be outdated as if the Mesha Stele is the earliest attestation for YHWH. Reality is YHWH is attested in 14th century BCE Egyptian records. Accurately described by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shasu And https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh

I would fix this but all of my internet connections are blocked from editing

Reverting

Zhomron. You’re new here, relatively. Your talk page has 11 notifications, including two blocks, in little over a year and a half. A pretty formidable record. You came to this page and rewrote it to your liking, reverting other editors without discussion.

• (1) (Undid revision 1044048891 by Nishidani (i.e. no explanation. A statement of fact, meaning I Zhomron reverted.)

• (2) (Restructuring). A statement of fact. In fact, you removed (−722)‎ of text.

• (3) ((RV unexplained revert. It’s better to break them into two separate sections. All you did was keep the additional edits I made and put them in a jumbled order)

You reverted successive editors without any indication why. You reverted me without explanation. When I did likewise of your edits, you complained I had reverted you without explanation. You can’t have it both ways. Not explain what you are doing, and then expect that others explain what they do.Nishidani (talk) 19:26, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

@Zhomron: please explain your edits here.VR _talk 14:59, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Aye, thank you for the ping @Vice regent:

@Nishdani:, your additions were poorly phrased, improperly formatted (incomplete refs within the tags, interwiki links that were simply plopped into the text, called up named reference tags that didn't exist, etc.), cited sources which have been largely superseded by academia (such as one which claimed YHWH is Arabic for 'he blows', a source which, some time ago, a number of editors on Yahweh butted heads over, before it was agreed it was no longer reliable and removed altogether) and arranged the text in an order that was unsatisfactory to my liking. The first revert that you cited was me moving the piece about Baladan's conclusions back down several paragraphs to the place it originally was - since it makes no sense whatsoever to touch upon the similarities at the beginning of the article, talk about something completely unrelated for several paragraphs, and then go back to the claims at the beginning of the article; especially since this piece was discounting Baladan's hypothesis. The -722 in my restructuring was me rephrasing, not removing, the things you added weeks prior to any edit. When I restructured the article, splitting into more relevant subsections, you reverted my edits with simply "Derestructuring" - and refused to elaborate any further. I not only fail to see how using basic intuition and reorganization is unconstructive, but also how "derestructuring" is a sufficient explanation when "It’s better to break them into two separate sections." is considered an 'unexplained revert' Zhomron (talk) 15:38, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

National god of the Edomites

I mildly suspect that the statement that Qos was the 'national god of the Edomites' might be a purely biblical assertion, and that all that can be determined by non-religious sources was that they were one god among others in the Edomite pantheon. Iskandar323 (talk) 08:59, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Then you need to mildly submit your assertions with documentation to back them up so that people can see them, because those would certainly be helpful to me right now. 65.152.13.210 (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Just the opposite, The Bible does not directly refer to the existence of a god by this name at all, honestly if I went off The Bible alone I'd just assume they also worshiped YHWH only idolatrously like the Northern Kingdom did. KuudereKun 17:53, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Why was the depiction of Qos from a Cave on Maresha removed?

That image I was considering a clue in some research I'm doing, if it was removed because of some change in what Scholars think of it I'd like to know? KuudereKun 17:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
