Talk:Ecclesiastes

Restorations
Recently, I have not had time to even monitor many things on the project so regularly as I once used to do regularly, let alone do much editing, but I have just restored major quotations from the KJV which had existed on the page since February 2011, as well as images relevant to them, until some recent removals by a single editor. I have retained many sectional headings, with links I had provided to the texts in the original hebrew, the KJV translation — and many other translations available for reading in a dual pane framework for each chapter.

I am currently in a bit of a rush, and must be leaving again in a few minutes, but will note that I do not believe these quotes, translations and images should be removed without discussion on the matter. I should be bake within about 12 hrs or so, and have many things to attend to now. So it goes… ⨀∴☥☮♥∵ॐ … Blessings. ~ ♞☤☮♌Kalki·†·⚓⊙☳☶⚡ 12:42, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Merge proposal of Wisdom of Sirach to here
The Wisdom of Sirach and Book of Ecclesiastes are the same thing and the earliest created article should have been extended rather than a duplicate created. On the English Wikipedia is a redirect to. @, as creator do you have any comments? Thankyou. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 05:56, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you don't mean Ecclesiasticus? Antandrus (talk) 05:58, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * You're probably right. I'm not going to try to immediately fix as I could make a worse mess of it as I'd be rushing at the end of a session. Anyone else is welcome to fix. If I've unwittingly offended anyone I apologise. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 06:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Easy mistake to make - no worries. Ecclesiasticus and Wisdom of Sirach (book of Sirach or just Sirach) are all the same thing, as far as I know. We absolutely should merge them; I'm surprised I didn't notice that myself when adding a bit to Sirach a few weeks ago. As far as I know Ecclesiastes, the canonical Jewish/Christian Old Testament book has no other name. Antandrus (talk) 15:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * . But have created the alternative suggested merge proposal at : Talk:Ecclesiasticus. ✅ -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 21:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

From a point of view of status
Background: w:Apocrypha which I don't understand might need a dispensation from Philip to study and w:eccles cake which I do understand but probably isn't of much help here unless I choke on one trying to sort this out and it gets me to my heaven and not to CIR hell. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 13:16, 9 January 2023 (UTC) This status was actually slightly inaccurate so striking. -- User:Djm-leighpark(a)talk 21:30, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
