Jubilee names
[edit]Hi, it would be better to explain in the article body "According to the Book of Jubilees, his mother was n. instead of the infobox since not everybody accepts Jubilees... Also see Wives aboard the Ark, there are competing traditions for Arphaxad's mother... Til Eulenspiegel /talk/ 22:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Pronunciation of Ιησους
[edit]I read your comment on an archived talk page for Jesus (from, I think, Nov. 2013) about the pronunciation of the Greek name of Jesus. I wanted to tell you that your comment doesn't seem to make sense. The first three letters of the name are Iota Eta Sigma. These are pronounced "yee-ays." In Greek, an initial Iota followed by another vowel is always a "consonantal iota," being pronounced something like a vocalized soft J or a Y. "Yeh-" Greek words demand one syllable per vowel or diphthong, and here we have three: I-e-sous. There is no "T" or theta sound present in the word, so I don't understand why you would say "ethos" is a proper pronunciation of it. Matthew Baldwin (talk) 12:19, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Myth
[edit]If you would actually read the Myth article and learn how modern scholarship uses the term, it is used to refer to sacred stories without any judgement as to their reality. One particular subgenre is origin myths, which explain the origin of some facet of the world -- such as differences in language.
Also, the only source you properly cited on my talk page explicitly contradicts your use of the word "legend" -- the deity Yahweh is involved in the story, and only someone who doesn't know what the word "trivial" means could label a global flood as such. By the source you cited, it is not a legend because it involves a deity and it is not a trivial matter. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:52, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Sexism
[edit]Hi, I just reverted you on Sexism. It's genuinely refreshing to see someone use an actual argument about wording to justify removing that sentence, so thanks for that! Perhaps you're not aware, but there is a long-standing consensus to retain that sentence in the lede, which is why there is a note in the text asking editors to discuss on the talk page before removing it. If you genuinely think that it should be reworded, please visit the talk page and propose an alternative - the point you raised might perhaps merit discussion, and I would not be against the idea of rewording the sentence to avoid any possible confusion. Please do not attempt to simply remove the sentence though, against long-standing consensus. Thanks! GirthSummit (blether) 18:12, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, I now see that it wasn't me who reverted you - I tried, but I edit-conflicted with Galobtter when attempting to do so! This page gets a lot of vandalism (perhaps for obvious reasons), and a lot of editors (including numerous admins) have it on their watchlist. Please do go to the talk page if you want to argue for any change to this. Cheers! GirthSummit (blether) 18:16, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
