[edit] Origen

An article may have the best intent in the world and be valuable BUT if it is sited on a .com web page it is presumed to be spam. As I was waiting for the Origen article to come up, the site displayed an ad for orange juice and Best Buy. This is not acceptable to Wikipedia. We are not a .com/spam site, nor do we wish to direct our readers to one. This should be covered in WP:EL. What you could do is identify unique content in the .com article and try to locate references for it and put it into the article, maybe. Student7 (talk) 16:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nova Vulgata

You wrote on my talk page:

Unfortunately, the new Latin translation from the original bible texts has been called Nova Vulgata. The name seems to imply a link with the previous editions of the Vulgate, as you erroneously assume. In fact, Nova Vulgata simply means a new common translation; it serves as reference text for Roman Catholics in worship and teaching.

There certainly is a link between the Nova Vulgata and the earlier editions of the Vulgate. This link is adequately described in the praenotanda of the work itself, here. Were there not such a close link between them, a work such as Novum Testamentum Latine would hardly be possible; it consists of the text of the Nova Vulgata with a comprehensive list of variations from eleven previous editions shown in the small critical apparatus at the bottom of each page. The apparatus could hardly be so small if the Nova Vulgata were an entirely new translation. It is, in fact, an emendation throughout most of the work. Those parts that constitute a replacement are mentioned explicitly in the article. Rwflammang (talk) 17:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
