[edit] Oil -> Petroleum?

Why You corrected Oil -> Petroleum? It is not "petrol"! Alexandrov 13:28, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On the name

The Arabic word of milk is laban not lubāan. Unless this is verified as the pronunciation in a local dialect or the Shehri language, then the Arabic etymology described as "which is derived from the Arabic al-lubán ("the milk") a reference to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree" is not correct. --Alif 19:59, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What deritualisation of religion?

Do you have a footnote for that assertion? I'm not saying that its wrong, but strikes me as odd. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jleecbd (talk • contribs) 21:41, 20 January 2007 (UTC).

I added the {{fact}} tag. Stale Fries 03:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Frankincense as a fictitious name

I removed the "Frankincense as a fictitious name" section, as it provided very little to the article, and was something more suited to the article page for the movie it referenced. Stale Fries 03:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
