[edit] redirect
Perhaps a one-way link from Bart Simpson to his apparent namesake. Ed Poor
Sure; I just thought it funny to point out that because Ellmist had made "Bartholomew" a redirect to "Bart Simpson", the link to "Bartholomew" on the page about the 12 apostles went directly there. This is probably not what he had in mind. :-)
I agree, as per the discussion regarding "Margaret". And let's be nice to Ellmist, because he's a hard worker and his heart is in the right place :-) --Ed Poor
[edit] Material needing work
The following was pasted into the article, with reference to why Bartholomew was flayed:
- The reason being that St. Bartholomew and St. Thaddeus were preaching the new religion of Christianity in Armenia. Because of this the Armenian Church is called the Armenian "Apostolic" Church, since the two apostles were the first to bring the new faith to Armenia.
I'm not sure of its accuracy (no references given); I can't see how this explains why he was flayed rather than killed in some other manner; and the grammar of the first sentence is bad. If someone wants to clean this content up & get it back in there, fine. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:14, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre
I'm removing this link as it really has nothing to do with Bartholomew beyond the mere coincidence of his name. May as well put the Bart Simpson link back in. Jumbo 18:49, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Barto?
For American English, we say "Bartholomew (learned); Bart, Barto (vernacular)". Bart is roughly equally so in the UK, I would think, including referring to a church or hospital as "St. Bart's". "Barto" I've never heard in my life, what is the basis for this? - Jmabel | Talk 06:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Albanopolis
Where is the city of Albanopolis today? Is it in Armenia, Turkey, or somewhere else? -- Clevelander 19:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
