It is proposed on Talk:Psalms to drop the text of psalms from the individual psalm articles. If you wish to weigh in, please do so there. Tb (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Infobox

Please add the information from the box to the lede before including a box on this article. Once this has been done, we can then assess as to whether a box is of any benefit to this article. It's ludicrous that we as an encyclopaedia are now concentrating more on adding information to a sodding infobox rather than writing it into prose in the lede section. We seem now to be so far removed from being able to write an "encyclopaedia", in the OED meaning of the word, that we may as well start calling ourselves WikiInfobox. Let's not forget what we are truly here for. Cassianto^Talk 11:33, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Copyright problem

What was the last stable version before the addition of copyrighted text? -- Infrogmation (talk) 16:34, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

The text was introduced with this edit in June 2018. Nobody has found anything wrong until yesterday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:03, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Nitpick time! No extant Hebrew transcription is "thousands of years old". The Masoretic Text and Chapters and verses of the Bible are relatively modern innovations which make today's textual renditions of the original languages, at most, 500 years old. Not to mention, punctuation and lowercase letters are modern innovations as well! (Naturally, text that's only 500 years old is still public domain, but "Hebrew text is thousands of years old" is a canard that defies scholarly analysis._ Thanks.

Nitpick time: that comment seems not to be a response to what I said, replying to a question.

I understand that while I was out MLauba "cleaned" the article, for the price that mor than a year of editing are no longer visible to later readers, but so be it. I restored links now that the problem seems resolved. MLauba, will you do the same for the other articles in question? The list is on Elizium23's talk. 1, 23, 42 and 51 are most urgent. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

I understand further that User:Jonathan de Boyne Pollard replaced the text by a 1927 licensed translation. Jonathan, could you please do the same for the other psalms in question, see just above. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:37, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Actually, it's Alexander Geddes' from 1807, illustrative for more than just the reasons in the text, as his translation was for Roman Catholics. I was thinking of looking at the other psalms, although it all depends from what commentary I can turn up because I'm not bringing in texts where there is nothing to write related to them. I want to bring in the Book of Common Prayer here, and I think that I have found a way to do so. I have also found a note by de Wette. Jonathan de Boyne Pollard (talk) 13:56, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Is Anglican Protestant?

If Anglican is Protestant, we can return to simply Catholic and Protestants. However, a user - forget who when which psalm - said it is not, and needs to be singled out. Now what's right? "Anglican and other Protestant" is not right, - Lutheran came first, and should not be among "others". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Variant names (in infobox)

Imho,

• "Mizmor le-Toda" does not belong there. Have no clue what it means. Is nowhere explained in the article.
• German name doesn't belong there either: this is not choralwiki (and there's a reason for that)
• KJV incipit does belong, but as it spills over the length of a line, "plainlist" layout can not be used while too confusing.

All in all the infobox is not very suited to contain multiple variant names: it says "variant name", so more than one is confusing, certainly when formatted in plainlist format (seems like a single, multi-language name), so, imho it is probably best to remove all names from the box. --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:38, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

The variable is not "variant" but "other names", therefore the KJV name should not be included, only "other". (I restored KJV to the top, - don't know when we lost it there. Psalm numbers alone are too ambiguous.) For institutions, we list other names without confusion, we also list awards (often more than one line in a name) without confusion, - I don't see how it would be different here. The only purpose is to tell a reader at a glance that s/he arrived at the right article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

It says "Other name" (singular), which shouldn't be followed by a list but by a single name... or none, and omit the parameter.

Further, I see you chose not to reply to my other objections. Seems best to revert to the situation before you started to add anything earlier today, and start the discussion from there, tx. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:18, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm the editor who removed the text; see this thread on the original poster's talk page for more context. Graham87 19:36, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
