Hello. One of the editors is vandalising the article by removing a pronunciation variant listed by both sources. He keeps lying that this variant is unsourced, which is not true. The details can be found here. Peter238 (talk) 01:35, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Please change 'Fearing libel suits in his own lifetime, it would have been foolhardy for Beaton to have included some of his more frank and incisive observations.' to 'Fearing libel suits in his own lifetime as well as public discontent at devious and sometimes illegal sexual practices, it would have been foolhardy for Beaton to have included some of his more frank and incisive observations.' because it is common knowledge and likely in the current context that Beaton's dark side will come to the front. It gives a more balanced image of who Beaton really was. 217.174.210.17 (talk) 11:10, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

The major issue for calendrical split is not the Julian calendar per se, but the Ecclesiastical (Paschal) calendar that is closely associated with it. The best description of the Paschal calendar was made by Otto Neugabauer (1979) who found support for its use by the Alexandrian Church in the fourth century Ethiopic sources. (ref. 1). Neugebauer argued, the Paschal calendar was a copy of the lunar calendar of the Alexandrian Jewish community. This idea was extended by Ari Belenkiy (2010) who deciphered a similar calendar (known in rabbinical sources as the "Theory of Others") in the Palestinian Jewish community of the second century and traced it to 104 BC. (Ref. 2) A new conjecture is that it originates from the time of Canopus Decree (238 BC).

Doc Sagansky's sister was Rhoda Sagansky, and she married Leonard Lewin, who owned Boston and Taunton Transportation Co. Doc Sangansky's brother was Al Sagansky, who was part owner of Boston and Taunton Transportation. They called themselves Bos-Taun, and they were my landlords when I was in the electrical wholesale business. Doc Sagansky's first cousin was my grandmother.

Reference links to web page without the cited information

Hello, I am a relatively new Wikipedia editor and found a situation I don't know the protocol for.... in the article: List of unproven and disproven cancer treatments there is a reference about Apitherapy that says it's a statement from the American Cancer Society. However, when following the link, the quote cited does not exist, nor can I find it at any of the sites linked on the page the reference goes to. I also searched to see if I could find another valid reference for the quote and I cannot. What is the protocol? Remove the statement? Remove the link? Note that the statement is unreferenced/unverified? Thank you in advance for your help.AskJoanne (talk) 13:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
