Talk:Placebo (at funeral)

This article is a bit rambly. Sadly I am not in a position to improve it. --Surturz 14:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Too much information

And some of it is wrong.

Let's start with the wrong.

The text is from the Vulgate psalter, which is Jerome's Gallican Psalter, a revision of his first psalter. The article states that the 2nd psalter is irrelevant to this article. In fact, it is the 1st and 3rd psalters that are irrelevant.
The text states that the numbering is different in each of Jerome's psalters. This is incorrect; all three psalters use the same numbering.
The eight century form is not final. A new form was released in 1970.

Now for the irrelevant:

A discussion of Jerome's 3 psalters is off-topic. Only one psalter matters here.
Only a simple note needs to be made that the Vulgate psalter's numbering is different from that of most English versions. A long winded discussion of LXX and massoretic numbering schemes contributes nothing to the subject.
The Latin and Greek texts of psalters other than the Vulgate psalter are off topic and not needed.
On a related note, much of the discussion of the LXX is off topic and better covered elsewhere. I concede that some mention must be made though, as it is needed to link the quote from Chrysostom. Making such a link does not require the inclusion of discussions of Greek verbs, though.

Thank you for your attention. Rwflammang 15:33, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
