Re: Argument from authority
Hi AlphabeticThing9 - with regards to this edit, which you undid, is being emptied, as noted at CfD, to allow for a slight change in the category tree. In the case of Argument from authority, the article is, in any case, already in a subcategory,. Grutness... wha?   01:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Two Births
The paragraph ’Two births’ gives a natural explanation of the divergence of the two genealogies i.e two boys with the same name. ‘Fringe’ isn’t an argument.--Tmajoor (talk) 20:10, 20 June 2018 (UTC)


 * There is a vast literature on the Two Messiahs (see Messiah ben Joseph) and on the Two Brothers (Pistis Sophia Ch.61). In the Two Jesuses-theory the "pious deduction" of ‘Mary's genealogy’ (Heli) is avoided, and his maternal grandfather Joachim established. Secondary literature on the Two Jesuses in: Welburn 1994, Childs 2005, Nesfield-Cookson 2005, Ovason 2013. Primary literature only in German (Lauenstein 1971, Zander 2007).--Tmajoor (talk) 06:35, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Why are you claiming in an edit summary that a source does not mention the "Tale of Court Contest" genre when it does?
a recent edit of yours to the page Belshazzar's Feast has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. You wrote that "(This source doesn't say anything about "tale of court contest". It specifically states ", and. more specifically, conforms to the subgenre Tale of Court Contest:". Doug Weller  talk 14:04, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

If you can't give a satisfactory answer, I am inclined to report this to WP:ANI given your earlier behaviour. Doug Weller talk 14:06, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing it. Link me to it, if you would. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 15:35, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I already cited it, page 67.


 * The story of Belshazzar's feast is a straightforward narrative. That it is Legend is shown by the marvelous writing on the wall, underlined by the panic-stricken reaction of the king and the moral lesson drawn by Daniel. Like Daniel 2 it resembles Aarne and Thompson's folktale type 922, and. more specifically, conforms to the subgenre Tale of Court Contest:

(1)	The king is confronted with mysterious signs. (2)	The wise men fail to understand. (3)	Daniel succeeds where they fail. (4)	Daniel is exalted to high rank.

If you couldn't see it because you couldn't read page 67, you shouldn't have claimed it wasn't in the source and editwarred over it. Doug Weller talk 16:18, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah now I see, thank you. I'll not oppose its inclusion. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 17:22, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Feral cat
Your edit summary This is based on popular science clickbait headlines which misinterpreted studies is misleading because it was a journal paper being cited, and the fact that conservation biologists do consider feral cats to be one of the worst invasive species that there is is easily verified, for example by the IUCN's 100 Worst Invasive Species list.

Shield of the Trinity
Your indiscriminate deletion action was rather annoying, since what you deleted deals with questions which many people would naturally have, so that the article is incomplete without it, or something to serve a similar function. AnonMoos (talk) 19:03, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Then add citations. No personal essays. AlphabeticThing9 (talk) 11:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
