Instead of bashing away in the edit summary, why not discuss your differences on the talk page? That is what it is for. To have all those warning headers in the article without corresponding discussion on the talk page seems inefficient, not to mention discourteous to readers.

[edit] Why the {} sign/s?

Why were one or more of these sign/s: {{NPOV}}{{expansion}}{{Cleanup}} signs placed on this page without any discussion, explanation or reasoning? (And why create a redundant category Category:Bible stories that is now up for a vote for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Category:Bible stories?) IZAK 06:48, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Check the User contributions of User:CheeseDreams. This is just one of a long series of articles that has been labelled. --Wetman 06:51, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• User:MishaPan's "qualifiction of the phrase "not found in Protestant Bibles" to "not found in modern Protestant Bibles" is intended to give the impression that this narrative is found in older Protestant bibles. A <ref></ref> footnote giving the edition where this narrative is given, other than in Apocrypha needless to say, will be needed here. I have started the Notes section to make it simple. --Wetman 22:48, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jews?

I couldn't help but notice that this page contains an extensive discussion of various Christians' opinions on the book's canonicity. Shouldn't there be some discussion of Jews' opinions as well? I mean, after all...they wrote it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.9.56.131 (talk) 14:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Unlike in Christendom, I don't think there's ever been a debate among Jewish people. It was included in the Septuagint, but was never considered to be canonical by Jewish believers at any point in time. --B (talk) 22:07, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
