Additions to Israfel

edit

Hello. Thank you for your addition to the Israfel article, particularly the Arabic equivalent of the name. I did, however, remove the statement that the English for Israfel is "Raphael," and indicated the equivalency lower in the article. The information just as it was stated is incorrect linguistically (they are from very different semitic root-words). In the traditional lore, Israfel is, as the article on him indicates, associated with judgment and often with music. Raphael, as demonstrated in his role in the Book of Tobit, is generally associated with healing, which is what his name means. On the other hand, Israfil is associated with several other angelic names like Uriel and Sarafiel, so I have included a section on the other names with which he is equated.

Request for wider input on discussion at WikiProject Tennis

edit

Hi, there is an extremely long and muddled discussion going on at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found on tennis player articles (i.e. this type of table), and I'm notifying you as you identified yourself as a member of the project. The dispute is over the "Tournament Name" column, with the options being to either use the "sponsored tournament name" - in other words, the name involving the sponsor, for example Internazionali BNL d'Italia - or the "non-sponsored tournament name" - in other words, Rome Masters. I appreciate that this conversation is very long and convoluted, so a brief summary can be found here, which is also where I request the discussion continues. Thanks, rst20xx (talk) 23:05, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
