Basque???

The following was recently and anonymously added to the article. I doubt it, and it has no cited source, so I have brought it over here pending citation.

Note: Although Tevye, the character in Aleichem's famous folk stories is yiddish, the name itself comes from basque origin. Apparently the name Tevya or Tevja musn't be confused with Tevye since both names have different roots regardless of their similarity. *basque: relative to the people and language of Pais Vasco (Euskadi), in northern Spain.

• I see it has now been re-added, citing two large books, without indicating page numbers, which makes it impossible to check. I am trying to understand: are you just claiming that the name exists in Basque (in which case, I believe you, but so what?) or saying that Shalom Aleichem was aware of the Basque name? As far as I know, Tevye is a perfectly normal (if not terribly common) Yiddish name. The fact that a similar name exists in another language is neither here nor there. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:04, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Tevye is a Yiddish form of teh Hebrew name Tuvya (טוביה), literally "God is good." The fact that there may be a similar sounding name in Basque is highly irrelevant. Danny 11:01, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

I cannot possibly understand the attitude of disclaimers, I mean the entry for which I have written the lower note was simply "Tevye" not "Tevye in Shalom Aleichem's literature" nor "Tevye as a character in stories" but simply "Tevye", for what I would appreciate if my note was accepted. I?m not trying to make a judgement on Aleichem but merely on "Tevye" as an entry. If I've caused any trouble then I offer my sincere excuses. I understood this was a free place to remark assertions in order to make information extensive for users. Iñaki Ibarreche (from Bilbao, Spain). (anon 27 July 2005)

OK, I can see now that this was done with good intention, but I can also see that you are confused on one aspect of how Misplaced Pages works. (By the way, if you open an account people can address remarks like this specifically to you on your user talk page, instead of on an article talk page.) Misplaced Pages is not organized like a dictionary that puts all uses of the same word in a single entry. Each page has a single topic. The topic of this article is the Shalom Aleichem character. It merits the simple title Tevye because in the English-speaking world, references to Tevye will overwhelmingly be to this character. If there is another article that logically would have Tevye as a title, we should add a page Tevye (disambiguation) that would lead to those, and add a link from this article to the disambiguation page. For an example of how this works, see John Ford and John Ford (disambiguation). (However, in general, forenames as such don't merit articles.) -- Jmabel | Talk 05:03, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Shouldn't the movies have separate articles? Celcius 13:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • It would be perfectly acceptable to write such articles, but right now this is certainly not big enough for there to be a reason to split it up. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Alfred Molina

Cut from article: "Currently Alfred Molina Plays Tevye In "The Fiddler On The Roof". He Has Been Tevye For Two Years Now." If it was just the weird capitalization, I'd have fixed it. But:

1. Where?
2. When (currently as of what year?)

In particular, is this notable? Zero Mostel and Topol pretty much created the role, so they merit mention. Is Molina in a production that is likely to have a similar impact on the role? - Jmabel | Talk 04:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

observations

"Most famously" is used, twice. Also, the article appears to begin with a run-on sentence. Brian Pearson 02:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I just addressed most of this. I think "most famously" with reference to Fiddler is probably appropriate. - Jmabel | Talk 17:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yiddish spelling

In this article, Tevye's name is spelled in Yiddish as טעוויע. In Yiddish language, the spelling used is טבֿיה. Does anyone know which one was actually used by Sholom Aleichem? AJD 14:56, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Follow the link to the corresponding article on the Yiddish Misplaced Pages (yes, there is such a thing...) and you'll see this image. Evidently טעוויע is how it was spelled by Sholom Aleichem, though the name is a variant on the Hebrew טוביה. --woggly 15:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

(At least, it's widely believed to be a variant of טוביה. It may also be a variant of "David".) AJD 19:02, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Soviet editions used the phonetic orthography טעוויע, but the initial publication used the etymological טבֿיה. (I have a 1919 edition at hand.) --Futhark|Talk 21:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Here's the way it appears in the 1939 film (despite this image being from the cover of the DVD release) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B0007G8W48/ --Futhark|Talk 21:16, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, that's good enough for me. Sorry I reverted you, it was just that your edit flew in the face of the evidence I had just seen, but your explanation makes sense. --woggly 21:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for having called my attention to that image. You might want to take a second look at it, though, and see if you feel that it provides evidence for changing the way the author's own name should be spelled in the article on Sholom Aleichem. I've added a few words about this to the article on Yiddish orthography together with links to the Soviet title page and that of a U.S. edition. --Futhark|Talk 21:01, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Characterization of Tevye in the 39 film

I watched the 1939 film, and the characterization of Tevye's character here is baseless. If a critical review is produced that gives that assessment, it can be added, but I will delete it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.164.64 (talk) 07:10, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

About Lord Our Righteousness

                                                 "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS"

"LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" name was given on 6th Oct,2005. According to the verse in Jeremiah 23:6 by HOLY LORD to Rev.Dr.Prince Oliver. HOLY LORD spoke to Rev. Dr. Prince Oliver on 6th Oct,2005,"I am the Father of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob. My name is LORD JESUS CHRIST." After some time on 6th March,2006, second time the LORD spoke to him and said, "I have called you by name; you are Mine! "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you, in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me," declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 and I will give you my name "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" and He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 2 Samuel 7:13-14, And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the Lord, and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God. Zechariah 6:15, And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Zechariah 6:12-13 After 6th March,2006 the training from the Bible continued for next two years meanwhile the ministry also continued and it worked according to Matthew 4:17 from the Bible "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."LORD said to him according to Matthew 10:6 where it is written "Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. According to this verse JESUS CHRIST found me,the lost sheep and gave me the work to find other lost sheep of JESUS CHRIST and to bring them towards our LORD. "Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Isaiah 43:4-6 Taught by the LORD JESUS CHRIST. LORD JESUS CHRIST filled him with the anointing of Holy Spirit on 10th September,2006 between 3:30 am to 4:30 am after doing two years of ministry. HOLY LORD said to Rev.Dr. Prince Oliver to register this ministry by his given name on 08th August,2008 it was registered by the Rajasthan Government of India in the form of "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" Society, Udaipur. He, by the grace of our LORD completed him Ph.D. in the Biblical studies in the year 2012 and in the same year Lord extended this ministry to "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" International Religious and Charitable Trust. And by the grace of our LORD it is now registered on an International level, under which we perform all the religious and social work. And on the basis of the work that we are doing "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" is certified by ISO 9001:2008. And due to our social activities he is awarded the Life Time Achievement Award.

Since 6 years "LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" is doing works according to the meaning of Righteousness. HOLY BIBLE says in Matthew 25:42-43 "For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordourrighteousnesstrust (talk • contribs) 15:28, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
