Talk:Battle of Megiddo (609 BC)

unsigned
Isn't it a bit disrespectful that a cross symbol is used to denote the death of a Jewish king?

Aftermath section
Just to note that some of this has been copied with no edit summary attributing it to the original article (and thus the editor(s) whose work it is) at Jehoahaz of Judah. Technically this is copyvio.--Doug Weller (talk) 14:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Egyptzo's edits
I find I can no longer assume good faith with this editor. He has been found to have committed a number of copyright violations (copyvios) and was temporarily blocked for these. Most were quite flagrant from other websites, and I would be surprised if all have been found. Some are all too common on Wikipedia, such as the one I mentioned above which was his and his copy and paste of material from Armageddon in the discussion in this article on the topography of the battle. These would not be copyvios is he had provided a link in the edit summaries to the articles he took them from (and he needs to follow Wikipedia guidelines and use edit summaries more). The bit around the text "proceeding through the low tracts of Philistia and Sharon, prepared to cross the ridge of hills" has been plagiarised from an 1886 article by Professor George Rawlinson at. This not only brings Wikipedia into disrepute, but it makes for bad, unreliable articles when editors use uncited stuff from other articles or plagiarise 19th century publications. I'm removing most of his edits. --Doug Weller (talk) 09:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Having said the above, he has worked hard on Wikipedia and started a number of articles. If he could learn to keep his personal opinions out of articles, always give citations and use edit summaries,and never copy from anything else, I would probably be praising him instead of criticising him and he could be a very valuable editor. --Doug Weller (talk) 10:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Talmud and Jewish Works as Source to Information About the Battle
Would this (namely, the Talmud and other later Jewish Sources) be acceptable for use in information for how the battle possibly played out? I mean, in the article about the battle, how it occured, troop numbers, equipment, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paceinator (talk • contribs) 20:24, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
