Talk:Messianic Seal of Jerusalem

Age may be a hoax
While no one disputes that this is the current symbol, according to http://www.imja.com/Gershon2.html it was created in 1991, and according to http://fp.thebeers.f9.co.uk/messianic_seal.htm the entire pottery shard is a hoax. This must be mentioned in the article. I will try and rewrite some of it this weekend. -- Avi 00:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Tour websites
Per much discussion elsewhere, such as Holiest sites in Islam, tour-guide type websites are usually not considered reliable sources. It should not be too hard to find better sources. Sorry. -- Avi 05:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Recent edits to article
The recent additions to the article are inappropriate for a number of reasons:
 * 1) They are based on sources that do not meet wikipedia's requirements for verifiability and reliability. For example, all of the following have issues with acceptability, as they are all self-published blog-like sources:
 * 2) *http://www.goodnewsforisrael.org/
 * 3) *http://www.gnfi.org
 * 4) *http://www.threemacs.org/
 * 5) *http://www.biblediscoveries.com/
 * 6) *http://tsiyon.org/
 * 7) The additions were all copyright violation cut-and-pastes of various websites
 * 8) The additions were all patently unencyclopedic in tone
 * 9) There is enough criticism that the seal is a hoax that any additions, pro or con, need ironclad sources.
 * 10) *http://www.imja.com/Gershon2.html
 * 11) *http://fp.thebeers.f9.co.uk/messianic_seal.htm

The above two are not the best sources either, but they are equal to, of not more, reliable than the ones listed above, for what it is worth. -- Avi (talk) 05:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
