Revision as of 07:25, 28 March 2010
Why is the default TNIV? Wouldn't it be better to go to NET Bible or a similar (more impartial) resource? NET bible for example displays a range of translations automatically for any single Bible verse.
See, e.g. John 3:16 on NET bible:
This would be so much better IMHO.
Your thoughts? Mr magnolias (talk) 02:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- We can reset Bibleref2, Bibleref2c, Bibleref2-nb, Bibleref2c-nb to default to any version at bible.org, but a default version is required. The main advantage to Bibleref2 is that it is quick for an editor to enter a Bible reference with it. An editor can insert a different default on a per-insertion basis. When the user clicks on the verse's hyperlink, it brings the verse up in the default version, but right above it is a menu window to select any of the many versions available, and in other languages.
- Bibleref2 is in such wide use that we would not want to make such a major change to it. Thanks for your suggestion.
