Talk:Wimple

Scan copyright
Regarding the issue of a scan of a print from the Maciejowski Bible that was linked to by this article:

While the original work (the Maciejowski Bible, Pierpont Morgan Library Manuscript m.638) is out of copyright, the image in question is a scan from a print in "Old Testament Miniatures", the earliest printing of which was in 1927. The image on Wikipedia is therefore not out of copyright, and cannot be presented as Public Domain. It may be fair use, but that is a different argument.
 * Trivial reproductions of publid domain art can't be copyrighted. From Public_domain_image_resources: "Note: Accurate photographs of visual artworks lack expressive content and are automatically in the public domain once the painting's copyright has expired (which it has in the US if it was published before 1923). All other copyright notices can safely be ignored." There are also some court cases regarding this, and at least in the US and in Germany these pictures are PD. Kusma (討論) 13:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Podwika?
Is this the same thing as pl:Podwika? If so, in addition to interwiki, we can get some good pictures.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Middle English
I'm deleting this claim:

"In Middle English, the word was wymple, and anyone wearing one would be Ywympled, rather than wimpled."

because it's unsourced and is based on a misunderstanding of the history of orthography. There was no uniformity in spelling in the Middle English period; a quick look at the OED shows that the Middle English spellings of the word included winpel, wimpel, wempel, wimpil, wympul, wompyll, and wympill. "Wymple" and "wimple" both apparently appear from the 14th century onwards.

Hebrew Transliteration
The bit of Hebrew here is strangely done. It says that "וְהַמִּטְפָּחוֹת" is the same as "miṭpaḥoth". The problem is that the Hebrew actually says "v'hamiṭpaḥoth", which means "and the miṭpaḥoth". It might be better to just make the Hebrew read "מִּטְפָּחוֹת", though this might not be appropriate if this is a quote from somewhere.
