:: ''Pronouns'', not names.

Misplaced Pages style does not capitalize pronouns for monarchs, either. -- ] 16:43, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)

Which movie of ''Ben-Hur''? There were several. -- ] 19:08, Sep 20, 2004 (UTC)

There may be some relevant individual who holds this belief, but I son't know who. Most scientists -- those who would study a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction -- presumably reject the historicity of the account of the Wise Men visiting the infant Jesus. Unless someone turns this into something clearer within 48 hours, I intend simply to delete it. -- ] (17:34 PDT, Sep 25, 2004; failed to timestamp this when I wrote it)
