DYK for Emigration of Christians from Israel and Palestine
On 22 April 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Palmyrene inscriptions, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the first decipherment of a dead language in modern times was of Palmyrene inscriptions(first published example pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Palmyrene inscriptions. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Palmyrene inscriptions), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
I recently came across and read this article and knew immediately, even before checking the history that it was your work. Very well done, as usual. Tiamut (talk) 18:30, 9 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I wanted to ask you if you would be interested in taking a look at User:Tiamut/Coins and editing or critiquing it or anything you like. I want to move it to mainspace when it is more thoroughly fleshed out and make it a DYK nom. It could be a co-nomination if you agree. Hope you are well. Tiamut (talk) 18:42, 9 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Tiamut – I would like that. I noticed the draft a few months ago; it is a very important subject, that has been poorly represented to date. I have been doing the reading on "Canaanite and Aramaic" coins – which overlap with the Achaemenid and Hellenistic-Roman sections of your draft.
I will find some time to make a few edits to the draft and ping you.
@Tiamut: I am still planning to add prose content to the great Coins article you are writing. I have added a few sources and will add more, and will then get round to writing properly. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the source additions. I will get to integrating them soon hopefully. I wanted to ask you if you know anything about/would be interested in writing something about the tablet of Tell Taanach (Ti'inik). Found something about them here. Seems rather fascinating are underrepresented here. Tiamut (talk) 16:08, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
There is so much to read and write. I need another couple of lifetimes. But do ping me if you decide to get one started. Want to get the Coins page done first though. Have hit a bit of a motivational wall with it, and hope your additions will inspire me to finish it up. Tiamut (talk) 07:42, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote about it a bit in Malichus I and linked to Nabataean inscriptions from there too. Also discovered there was an earlier king possible named Malichus. There are other sources in the bibliography there you might find interesting too. Tiamut (talk) 10:21, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
