[edit] Potential edit war
205.188.116.201 from Ames, Iowa, please sign in and state your reasons for consistently wiping edits made to this page. אמר Steve Caruso (poll) 13:17, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current state of this article, edits flying
Ok, everyone, I think we need to sit down and actually go over what's happening here. One does -not- need to discuss every edit that people go over and make. WP:BOLD outlines this. If there is a problem with the edits that some one has made, the onus is on the person who is complaining to bring their issues to the Talk page and not start an edit war. :-) So, what are the problems with the edits that I have made? What are the problems with Clinkophonist's edits? Let us discuss this, and not squabble back and forth over restoring edits, as of this moment I believe that all of the recent edits that I have made have been reverted, and from other people I'm not sure which edits survived. Let's talk. :-) אמר Steve Caruso (poll) 21:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would like to know what the problems are with my edits. Its now half a month since Thadman asked for someone to explain what the problems are. If no problems are raised here I shall assume that all reasonable editors consider my edits justified, that they should remain in the article, and that all the editors removing them are committing acts that the wider wikipedia community regard as vandalism; i.e. acts that should be reverted on sight.

[edit] What do we know for sure?
The present article states quite emphatically: "What we do know for sure is that it originates from the Hebrew יהושוע [yehoshua`]". Apart from the fact that no source is cited for this claim, it is rather stronger than warranted; at best this might be a generally accepted theory. But I further see a contradiction with our article Joshua, which renders the name in Hebrew as יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, where the difference in spelling cannot be a simple mistake, as the text proceeds to discuss the "missing" vav. One can also check here that the name for Moses' companion in Exodus 17:9 (not 17:8 as the present article has) is spelled without vav. In contrast, Yeshua is spelled with a vav (see, e,g, Ezra 5:2). --LambiamTalk 18:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Half the article was dominated by this POV material on the Old Testament. By the way, this is Watchtower (Jehovah's Witnesses) material and does not meet Wikipedia's standards either in quality of writing or in matching scholarly consensus. Specifically, it violates Wikipedia's prohibition against giving WP:NPOV#Undue_weight] to tiny minority viewpoints. But this article was dominated by it. - Cestus Cd

[edit] Reference #1
I assume that there's supposed to be a yod in the Title of the article given as reference #1... is that right? --rmagill 18:42, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Son of God
Reading the bit on "Son of God", I read the following:
The phrase itself is thus taken by many to be synonymous with divinity
Why is this marked with a citation tag? I'm removing it; if you want a source (I don't know how to do the little source tag that redirects to the bottom of the page) check the Westminster Confession of Faith chapter 8 section 2 — it's a document to which many millions have and do adhere.

[edit] Personal name
YHWH šuā actually stands for Indoeuropean Dīāvā sūnah 'the son of the god', cf. Skr dyāvah 'god', Lith. sūnus 'son'. Roberts7 18:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
