Talk:Society for Old Testament Study

A couple of questions about the suggested improvements:

- the main source cited (Jarick 2017) is in fact an edited volume and as such does not represent the views of one person but the various views of the individual authors, five of whom are cited. five sources for such a short piece to me seems like a good number.

- I am intending in the near future also to add a reference to a history of SOTS to be found here: https://sots1917.org/history-of-sots/, which will improve matters somewhat, but like any scholarly organisation, the vast majority of people writing about it are members of the society. I do not see how to fix that, but am open to suggestions.

- also: I made a typo in the title. It should be Society for Old Testament Study (in the singular). I have not yet made enough edits on other pages to have permission to move this to the correct spelling. Could someone who can help with that, please. (thanks for dealing with this)
 * Thanks very much for this article, it's great. I apologise for misreading the reference; as you say, it is multiple authors not just the one. I will remove the 'primary source' tag accordingly. I have also moved the page to its correct title, as per your instruction above. I'd also like to clarify that the appearance of these tags on a page that you have clearly put a lot of effort into is not intended as a criticism of your work; all it is, is that the tags are recorded by the software bots that roam Wikipedia. The information is then used to alert editors with common interests to article that they might like to help with. So it's honestly not- although I can see how it could seem that way!- you being told, 'D-, get to back of class'! Wikipedia being a collaborative project, it just flags up areas of common interest. Hope you understand. Incidentally, I added a couple of other sources; you might like to add a list of the Society's presidents. They will almost always be mentioned (in a context independent to the society) as being or having been in such a position. For example,, , etc. Thanks again for the article! O Fortuna!  ...Imperatrix mundi.  12:50, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
