The difference between our articles and an essay or a published paper
There's a huge difference. In an essay, etc you can use sources to build an argument that those sources don't actually make. Here we basically build on articles on sources that discuss the subject of the article. Please read carefully no original research. I struggled with this at first and had edits reverted because they were original research - which they were. Doug Weller talk 19:06, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Doug,

To write something with coherence you need to use some logic it seems to me. I did read the guidelines casually and concluded you are allowed to use original research to make a point.

In this case I mention the results of original research, namely that the Persian king Darius who in the Elephantine papyri is mentioned together with a Jewish high priest Johanan is Darius II.

Considering this combination of names and positions is quite unique and there hadn't been another high priest named Johanan before I conclude the persons in the book of Ezra and Elephantine paryri are the same.

I think using this kind of logic is within the wikipedia guidelines. Evert Wandelaar (talk) 00:49, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I suggest moving this to the article talk page. Evert Wandelaar, I just do not understand what you're trying to do. The article mentions Darius I, and you are talking about Darius II. What is the relevance?PiCo (talk) 12:28, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

How to recognize his POV
To whom it may concern: why the lady doth protest too much, methinks? Because he wants Jesus born exactly 480 years after the Temple got rebuilt, see. For him, Jesus has to be born exactly 480 years after the Temple got rebuilt. More precisely, since the altar of the Temple got consecrated. So, obviously, he cannot make his claim believable, that's why he has to play fast and loose with mainstream history. For him Koresh in Hebrew cannot mean Cyrus in English, because this rock-solid mainstream view of historians and theologians of all stripes and colors ruins his claim about the birth of Jesus. So, that's why he was pushing his POV piecemeal, in order to WP:Advocate his view that Jesus got born precisely 480 years after the Temple got sanctified. There is no way to achieve such result by playing fair (by the WP:RULES). Tgeorgescu (talk) 07:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
