Moses birthdate
You want to use T. J. Manetsch, W. Osborn: Can the Date of Moses’ Death be Determined Astronomically? The Observatory as a source. Let's see if it meets WP:RS and WP:VERIFY. First, it's not published in a peer reviewed journal.. Not an impassible barrier, so who are the authors? This is Osborne - he may be considered an expert on observational astronomy but not having read the paper I don't know what expertise is basically used in it. Who is the main author, "T. J. Manetsch"? Then there is WP:WEIGHT - does anyone actually mention this in a book or journal that meets our criteria? I can't find anything for that. What you can do of course is ask at Talk:Moses what others think, or WP:RSN. Oh - don't leave contact information lying around. Dougweller (talk) 16:07, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Ozzie42 FOLLOW-UP [this seems never to have appeared in this talk. Added now so record is complete]

I don't want to quibble, but we should be correct in our facts. "The Observatory" IS a peer reviewed journal. That is what (in my field) "refereed" means when I commented on the journal in my first post. This can be easily checked. The suitability of referencing the Observatory article in the Wikipedia Moses piece can best be judged by reading the paper. A link was provided. Following your suggestion, I'll post this to the talk:Moses site to see what comes up. Ozzie42 (talk) 02:11, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
