William Tyndale first introduced the vocalization of the Tetragrammaton Jehovah in his translation at Genesis 15:2. Tyndale used Jehovah some 20 times in his English Translation of the Pentateuch. TrishN10 (talk) 13:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, William Tyndale did not "first" introduce the vocalization of the Tetragrammaton. That's a myth. The vocalization of Jehovah (and other various spellings in English, Greek and Latin, Spanish, &c.) existed long before Tyndale. The statement should be summarily removed since it is merely polemic against protestant reformation translators, as Tyndale was. 2601:647:6510:25D9:B480:E1CA:5572:FED2 (talk) 20:58, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please change X "William Tyndale first introduced the vocalization of the Tetragrammaton Jehovah in his translation of Exodus 6:3," to "William Tyndale first introduced the vocalization of the Tetragrammaton Iehouah in his translation at Genesis 15:2. Tyndale used this vocalization for God's name some 20 times in his English Translation of the Pentateuch. See Archive.org ENGLISH (1530) TYNDALE PENTATEUCH Genesis 15:2.

Not done: The passage is referring to when work was published, not order within the bible. See the footnote that cites a secondary source. Remsense ‥ 论13:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TrishN10, your question has been answered. We do not cite primary sources directly, because it leads to confusion like this. Please do not post the same question again; you will not magically get a different result. Remsense ‥ 论14:18, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is not why Wikipedia does not cite primary sources. It has to do with liability in legal matters. In true historical research, documentation from the "primary" and "original" sources are the best sources. Look at any real-world scholarly Dictionary, Etymological record, Encyclopedia, and actual academic historical research work. Secondary, Tertiary, &c., sources are always used as a last resort when no primary or original source is locatable. Wikipedia is the "primary" and "original" joke resource among academic scholars and researchers. As an example (not a real scenario), Why in the world would I cite Tyndale on what Luther said in German, when I can go to Luther in German and read the original source? Who cares that Tyndale repeated what Luther said, when I have what Luther said originally? 2601:647:6510:25D9:B480:E1CA:5572:FED2 (talk) 21:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is a well-oiled system, and we don't do any historical research ourselves as a matter of website policy. Take it or leave it, it is part of the package. tgeorgescu (talk) 03:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And the reason why we don't perform historical research: edit wars would increase by two orders of magnitude. At least now we obey who's who in the mainstream academia, and we still have edit wars about it. Hell would break loose at this website if we'd allow Wikipedia editors to perform original research. Wikipedia summarizes mainstream academic knowledge, it does not create it. tgeorgescu (talk) 04:51, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
STOP being a control freak in TALK section; do not undo items added, UNNECCESSARILY. They're placed in TALK for a reason.

Since you didn’t revert them after I collapsed then, I decided to archive them instead, in part to help keep future abuse references available. But feel free to delete from archives if you see fit. TiggerJay(talk)06:43, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
