Hi! Thank you for your comments regarding a possible interpretation of the Book of Job. You should be aware that Wikipedia has some requirements about content added to articles.

- Recently I submitted a table to be included on the Book of Job Wikipedia page. This isn't original research according to the guidlenes on the Wikipedia page. It’s simple a list of the names of the God(s) that the characters in the story invoked, and the order the God(s) were invoked.
- My question becomes what of the intent of the Wikipedia? Many Wikipedia pages have lists of books in various Bibles and the order in which they appear. Is this original research? Many pages on language and alphabets make tables of words and letters and group them in various orders. These tables are not published in other books; they are compiled by whoever wrote the Wikipedia page. Are these original research?
- The order of names in a publication such as The Sacred Name Bible, or any Bible Concordance is an undisputable fact. Anyone, anywhere, and at any time can pick up The Book of Job and find the exact same order of the names. Just like A, B, C, D, E, F, G, . . . .
- Any 10 year old who looks at the chart with the order of the names of the Gods in The Book of Job can easily see that the whole story is about one issue. It’s always one thing and only one thing in the Bible, worshipping the wrong God. Jobs friends never named YHVH. But forget that, that is interpretation, the chart however is fact.
- Again, nothing on the entire Book of Job Wikipedia page is as factual as the chart with the names. Nothing on the entire page is as non-original as the chart of names. However nothing on the entire page is as controversial as the chart.
- Now I can list at least 10 topics on the Book of Job Wikipedia page that are not published, speculative, not factual, not historically plausible, and unpublished religious opinion. Obviously I have a personal bias as do you. However my bias is simple. Personally (for what it’s worth) I believe in one supreme being, since there is only one it can only be you Shirahadasha. For all you know everything you see and touch is an illusion, yet you know that you are real. Therefore if there is but one God, it can only be you. Why did you create all of this? Are we just your nerve ending? Or were you so lonely that you needed to create something to love? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Amenta4u (talk • contribs) 13:26, August 23, 2007 (UTC).
The chart you added to Talk:Book of Job appears to contain a lot more information than just the order of names. You also proposed associating the chart with a theory about the book, which would definitely need to be sourced. Wikipedia discourages simple lists or context without explanation or context (See WP:NOT#INFO). Feel free to continue the discussion on Talk:Book of Job.

File format for Image:Job.jpg[edit]
Thank you for uploading the information in your image.
A PNG file format would be more suitable for this image.
This is something that would need to be done from an original screen shot (or possibly a bitmap image of the original screen shot).
Converting the existng JPG file to PNG format would be ineffective, as noted here:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_keep_image_file_sizes_as_small_as_possible#Do_not_save_diagrams_as_JPEG
- If you do not have an original file but only a JPEG that really should be a PNG, do not simply save the JPEG as PNG because this will result in an even larger file.
