Edit Fail?
"The position placed his life on the line every day yet gave Nehemiah authority and high pay., and was held in high esteem by him, as the record shows." What is this supposed to say? 71.206.217.214 (talk) 17:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Hieroglyph
Could somebody please tell me the source of the hieroglyph image? I have been unable to locate any source indicating the A9 was the symbol for "cupbearer." Please help me identify the source of this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.40.239.83 (talk) 05:52, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Cześnik
Cześnik is the Romanian cup-bearer. The article is a short and not unique. I propose merging into its "parent" article. gidonb (talk) 14:30, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Pinkernes
A pinkernes was a Byzantine cup-bearer. Cup-bearer contains this important chapter, however it is empty with just a message to look elsewhere for information. Annoying for the reader and no need for this, as the pinkernes article is short and the cup-bearer article isn't particularly long either. gidonb (talk) 11:52, 7 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose the Byzantine title is a very specific iteration of this court function. It has a clear scope, and can (and will some day) be augmented by a list of holders etc., therefore it should remain as a separate article. Wikipedia is full of country-specific instances of generic titles/functions. Constantine  ✍  13:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
