- .... In the Orthodox Church, the Feast of the Transfiguration commemorates this event. It is one of the twelve Great Feasts in the liturgical year of the Orthodox Church and is observed by it on August 6....
Is this date Julian or Gregorian ? If it's Julian, the Gregorian date would be August 19, right ? Can someone confirm the dates, please ? Thanks. -- PFHLai 08:26, 2005 August 17 (UTC)

- The date of the Transfiguration on the Orthodox liturgical calendar is August 6. So, whether one is using the Julian or Gregorian calendar the date is always August 6. For those who use the Julian calendar (the majority of Orthodox) the day their calendar calls August 6 is the day that everyone else calls August 19. MishaPan 14:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, MishaPan. This is now on MainPage, with other holidays on August 6. --PFHLai 19:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Does Nietzsche's opinion matter?
This section is being taken off the main article:
- The philosopher Nietzsche interpreted the painting in his book The Birth of Tragedy as an image of the conflict between Apollonian and Dionysian principles.
The article on the painting currently mentions nothing about this. JBogdan 10:46, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Does your opinion of whether Nietzsche's opinion matters matter? Surely more than yours. The lack of info in a different Wikipedia article in no way justifies the removal of info from another Wikipedia article. The mention is going back in until you can find a reason based on some rule to remove it.--Hraefen Talk 19:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Policy page on No Original Research, paragraph 1:
- Wikipedia is not the place for original research. Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: the only way to demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources which provide information that is directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say.
- Thank you for the correction. It will be moved from the article on the event to the article on the painting. As for the sentence on interpreting divine grace, it will be moved to the talk page about the painting until resources are cited. For ease of further research, the content was added by IP address 195.188.152.12 at 11:41 on February 12, 2005. JBogdan 15:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV Boxes combined into one
There were way too many POV boxes spread throughout the article so I removed them all and put it at the top of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.225.81.53 (talk) 23:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Pop culture references necessary?
The Transfiguration is a story that has been recorded for 1900 years. Are a couple media references to it in the last 5 years really significant enough to warrant mention? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joepinion (talk • contribs) 18:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok, nobody responded, so I just deleted it. 71.79.66.80 (talk) 15:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
