Goliath
Ed, could you add a link on the Talk page to the article that's your source? It would make talking about it easier. Thanks. PiCo (talk) 20:31, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The sources are in the diff; I've added a link to Google Scholar, which has several more! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 02:54, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The main source seems to be the Berginer/Cohen article in Ancient and Near Eastern Studies - I think it's the only one that would be an acceptable source in Wikipedia terms (TED talks aren't). Unfortunately the link is to the precise, and I can't find the article itself, which has some limitations for the way I can discuss it. Anyway, I'll make a comment on the Talk page. Thanks for your cooperation - people tend to get so hot under the collar about Wikipedia, which is pretty silly.PiCo (talk) 07:20, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I think we're coming at RS/V from different perspectives. My contention is that there are several sources linking Goliath with acromegaly, so much so that the claims have made it outside academia and into popular media; it would be strange for us to not acknowledge them. A TED talk is perfectly valid in supporting that statement. Your contention is that anyone who isn't a biblical scholar could not possibly be reliable source in the context of the article, something that has no basis in WP:V.

South Carolina-class battleship scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the South Carolina-class battleship article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 11, 2018. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/July 11, 2018, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:27, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notification, (and for the copyedit, —I figured this was coming! ;-) ). Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:31, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * How's it going, Ed? - Dank (push to talk) 03:33, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's going well! Thesis is still a work in progress, due to the whole part-time grad school thing, and I can't complain about work. How about you? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 15:22, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Grad school used to be cheap, back in the day, and in the humanities, there usually wasn't too much pressure. Things have changed a lot, and it's not so much fun now. I'm doing more with gardening than I used to ... amazing things are happening in plant genetics. John says hi. - Dank (push to talk) 15:53, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Regarding WP:ERRORS: sorry, I never do anything with images. Discussion at WT:TFA is always welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 12:43, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi John! Hope you're both doing well. :-) I can't speak for back in the day, but my professors frequently have too much on their plates. Lots of funding cuts. Plants sound interesting and new—you'll have to send me a photo of your garden!
 * Re ERRORS, welp. Stephen was quite right to call me out there; he has messaged me in the past, and I was moving a bit too hastily. (TRM, I generally ignore.) I've opened a Phabricator ticket to see if we can depreciate the current hacky method of protecting images on Commons.
 * PS I'm surprised anyone thought it was a good idea to use a surprise paparazzi shot on TFA, regardless of chronological distance. (Glad that wasn't you. ;-) ) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll write up the gardening stuff sometime, with pictures, and stick it on my userpage. - Dank (push to talk) 18:25, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes! Would love to read it, or if you'd prefer to be less public, you should have my email address somewhere. :-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * It's the gmail one, right? - Dank (push to talk) 01:38, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yup! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 02:48, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey

Do you think that USS A. Childs is below level of "this is ok stub"? Always when I check this page its supprise that this article is on en.wiki. PMG (talk) 07:47, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I've just redirected it. Thanks, and . Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:01, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
