Response to statement made by you
Hi, Qumranhöhle. In response to your statement on the Talk:Paleo-Hebrew alphabet, here, where you wrote:
 * P.S.: From a traditional point of view 352 BCE is no less anachronistic than 516 BCE. Both those dates are "modern", insofar as they use "BCE" and that era was 'invented' in Christian late antiquity as you know."

This assertion is incorrect, insofar that my use of BCE has come only after converting the original Seleucid era counting. You see, the Jewish records of dating events date back to a time before the use of the Christian calendar (Gregorian or Julian). If you'd like to see the whole gamet of dates and figures, and how the people of Israel came-up with 352 BCE, I can show them to you. Be well.Davidbena (talk) 15:02, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi David, thanks for your comment, yet it seems we talk past each other. 352 BCE pre-dates the inauguration of the Seleucid era. Thus, whether Seleucid era or Christian era (or common era, if you wish), the date is calculated in any case. The calculation may be correct or not (I doubt the 516 BCE date as well, but this is not a matter of modern western scholars vs. Jewish sages, that's a false dichotomy, especially as there are some more dates debated among scholars of various backgrounds), yet it is calculated, i.e. not indicated in the sources themselves. Insofar it is anachronistic. --Qumranhöhle (talk) 18:01, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Dab link on Patrick W. Skehan
Thanks for your message about my edit to Patrick W. Skehan. I disambiguated St. Joseph Seminary to the same link as that already in the infobox. I have now removed the link & added a disambiguation needed tag. Do you know which one it should be & should we remove the link from the infobox?&mdash; Rod talk 08:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * This seems to have come from wikidata poulating the infobox - I have left a note on the wikidata ntry but don't know how to edit that.&mdash; Rod talk 08:55, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I see now that you had disambiguated - thank you & sorry for mucking this up. I should have checked more closely, but there is still the error at wikidata which will be reorduced on other language versions.&mdash; Rod talk 09:02, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The wikidata error has been fixed by another editor so should now show up correctly in the infobox as well.&mdash; Rod talk 10:45, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
