Needs organisation

This page is a mess. Obviously, the name was chosen for the video game only because it already had connotations resulting from its earlier uses, yet the video game is listed first. Moreover, it's one of the least important items on the list. Could someone write something coherent here? Michael Hardy 23:56, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Ariel (motor)

The Ariel (car) article which is linked here is completely different to the external URL which it links to (The article is about the no longer operative company Ariel, based in Birmingham, which the URL is to the ariel car company website, which is based in Somerset!) - UPDATE: after some research, i have discovered that the Somerset based Ariel is a re-encarnation of the original Ariel motor company. I've added a moderately sized article about the current Ariel company, and it's latest car the Ariel Atom to that page. Some expansion would be good ---Benbread 18:40, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Unisex

The name Ariel is a uni sex. Stop saying it's a man's name, it's a uni sex and that's it, ask the high acadamy for the hebrew language if you want to, but it's a uni sex name, so stop saying it's "for man's only". It's true that it has a more feminaized version of "Arielah" but a lot of names have that, And I personally know many women whose first name is Ariel and My name itself is Ariel.

For the sake of consistency, the pages with all of the "Angel" names should be similar. Compare the Ariel page to the Michael and Gabriel pages, for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deborrahh (talk • contribs) 00:07, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice if you mention that Ariel is also another name for Jerusalem.

there has been woman named ariel but most of them are a bit diffrent like ariela --Leira77 (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ariel (angel) is/was a person ?

Angel's name do not belong to people's names place. I would place it into Fictional characters division. --Tigga en 13:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that "Ariel is an Archangel name". Incidentally, the Hebrew angelic name is actually either pronounced "Oriel" or "Uriel" - Ariel has nothing to do with angels whatsoever, and is in fact only used in Scripture to refer to Jerusalem. --Franiel242 10:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact the HEBREW translation is Hearth of God; i.e. the temple; translated as ‘the altar’ in Ezek. 43: 15, second clause.

I believe the moon Ariel was named after the Shakespeare character.

Wouldn't that be Religious and Mythological - these carry more weight than 'fictional', and calling it 'fictional' trivializes the importance of it while miscasting it as a single author's invention. Wikivek 16:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

It says "Ariel (band), a group with which the electronic musician Kid 606 has worked". The Kid 606 article says he "was born July 27, 1979 in Caracas, Venezuela, raised in San Diego and later moved to San Francisco." But the Ariel (band) article says "Ariel is an Australian band" (mismatched hemispheres, possible but unlikely) and "The band...died around 1975." The latter is impossible altogether, if it is the same band named Ariel that worked with someone born in 1979. Art LaPella 04:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True - I'll amend this to refer to the band who have an article. -- Beardo 04:47, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution

The 1913 Webster's open reference says the Ariel gazelle is the Dorcas gazelle so I added the link in Other. Not sure how the attribution is supposed to be done, sorry! Wikivek 16:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish pronunciation

In Spanish, Ariel has two syllables. The "i" is pronounced as a consonant (y). elpincha (talk) 13:24, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation in English

Although I'm aware that Americans pronounce the name Ariel as "air-e-el", to suggest that it is pronounced as such by all English speakers is simply not true. I am aware of three girls named Ariel in Australia and they are all pronounced "ah-ri-el". I admit there are more American English speakers than Australian, but please don't suggest that all native English speakers pronounce the name as Americans do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Owencarter1973 (talk • contribs) 06:00, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
