Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 05:07, 2 June 2009

West End Avenue

I'm enhancing West End Avenue and you appear to be a Misplaced Pages savant. Can you show me how to put the word historicist into a sentence, and have it link to the architectural syyle historicism (art), not the philosophical theory. Gratefully, Historicist (talk) 15:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Historicist

Take a look at Help:Pipe trick for more complete details, but if you look at the link here for historicist you'll see how it's done by typing ], which says to use the article for historicism (art), but display the text "historicist". I keep an eye on the article, and the easiest thing to do is edit away and worry about the formatting later. Alansohn (talk) 16:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Rabbi Lopatin

If the under construction tag hadn't been there, I would have nominated it for speedy deletion. The notability tag I put on it is a warning to the author that they need to provide some notability or it's going to be nominated for deletion. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 02:34, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Did You Know?

Among the features on the Misplaced Pages main page is Did You Know?, which highlights new articles. To qualify, articles must have been created (or expanded) within the past five days, be a minimum of 1,500 characters of prose and contain an interesting hook to draw people to the article of less than 200 characters. I took a look at your contributions and saw the article about Asher Lopatin. I did some cleanup, added a few sources and categories and took the liberty of nominating the article at Template talk:Did you know. I have seen some of your other articles, and the one for Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel, which would have been a great example of a hook with its creation over a straw hat. I will monitor the nomination and respond to any issues, and you can check the page at T:TDYK to follow the progress of the nomination. As you appear to have an interest in creating and expanding articles, this may be an outlet to reach a broader audience for your work. Alansohn (talk) 04:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Historicist: there's not a lot I can tell you, I'm afraid. I knew of the fact of its founding, prob. as a result of Jefferson's Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, but beyond that I know little.

DYK for Asher Lopatin

On 2 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Asher Lopatin, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

NYT

Have you have seen a paper or microfiche copy of the obit? If so, please remove the note. Otherwise, we need to mention that it has not been checked. -- Avi (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I am more than happy to take your word on it; I just like to ensure that someone is vouching for the accuracy of texts that are not instantly accessible. I could have made it to my local library on Sunday if necessary, but as you already checked it, that's fantastic. However, I guess we should source the Saudi citizenship to the obit, as opposed to now where it looks like it's supported by a different source. Thanks again, -- Avi (talk) 23:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Our job as editors is to ensure that accurate information is properly cited; which is why I placed the {{cn}} tag on the Saudi citizenship, since it was not found in the source supporting the rest of the sentence. Now that you have verified that information, the article is that much more accurate and complete. Thanks. -- Avi (talk) 23:50, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

DYK for Congregation Beth Israel (Scottsdale, Arizona)

On 3 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Congregation Beth Israel (Scottsdale, Arizona), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I appreciate what you're saying, but we can still only go with what the sources say. If the article eventually gets to GA status, any unsourced claim will be immediately challenged. Jayjg 03:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Very nice

Nice to see genuine attempts to resolve conflicts in a collaborative spirit and I give you full props for it. I hope we'll find an agreed upon final version sooner rather than later. Cheers, Jaakobou 19:30, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Synagogue

Hi. By including a pipe (|) with a space after it, the article Synagogue shows up as the first article in Category:Synagogues instead of appearing sorted under "S". That's often done with the "main" article for a category. For example, Judaism is the first article in Category:Judaism, etc. Thank you. — ] (] · ]) 04:21, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry about it - you've done the right thing. Speedying might take a little while, as I've found that long about this time of day things tagged for speedying end up staying around for a little while, regardless. But you've done everything that needs to be done. I don't think it'll be problematic. --User:AlbertHerring 20:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Kind regards, DVD 23:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Not at all. I was just looking at material online about the play and thought that Misplaced Pages ought to have an article and you had done the donkey work.

Nazi, Swastika References Being Purged from Syrian Social Nationalist Party

Would you mind having a look at the problem of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party's Nazi history and swastika flag being systematically deleted/vandalized? This removes an important aspect of neutrality from the article. References from many reliable sources are provided. See its talk page. The edits are being done by users with IP addresses from very similar domains. Thanks, Histopher Critchens (talk) 20:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

A land without a people

Thanks for the post on my talk page. I've now posted this . You're welcome to join that project though I don't believe I have officially added myself as a member. The project rose out of a particularly heated dispute which went to Arbcom as an attempt to bring together people with different POVs who were nevertheless committed to a collaborative approach. It's worth reading the main page if you intend to join.

I don't feel that well placed to produce the article I suggest myself. As for the addition you suggest to the existing article, I wonder whether there is a source other than Muir that says something similar. Citing her alone is hardly going to help with cerftain complaints.--Peter cohen (talk) 20:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Habonim Dror

Are you sure about the slogan? As far as I know, Habonim's motto has always been Aleh u'vneh (Arise and build). In fact, that's the title of the history of the American movement . — ] (] · ]) 04:11, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Ohel Jakob synagogue

Are you planning on creating a disambiguation page at Ohel Jakob synagogue? Agathoclea (talk) 23:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

No I was not planning on any as I don't know what articles are needed. Reason I brought it up was your pagemove to a disambiguated title. That is normally only done when there is more than one possible subject using that name. The only possible exception I can see is if a more unlikely candidate has an article and the article that should be there is not written yet ie Ohel Jakob synagogue (book) while Ohel Jakob synagogue isn't written yet. By all means create redirects in the form you want. Agathoclea (talk) 23:38, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Demographic threat

Thanks I like what you've done and it's made the article much more robust and well categorized. I'm really not an expert, so I can't critique it, but it appears to be good work. In addition, it is pretty well-sourced, so this is a strong start to an article. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Beth Shalom

Thanks for your note; I've taken a stab at it: Beth Shalom. Regarding Oheb Shalom, perhaps Ohaveth Sholum Congregation should be included as well? Jayjg 01:30, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

False 3RR accusation

Look I'm not going to try an include the Mashalha source again, but I'm frankly getting tired of the intimidation tactics on my talk page. I didn't violate the 3rr on this page. So stop lieing about me on my talk page. I felt that all the work Fatima put in deserved to be defended and no one objected to it until jaygj came along and deleted it. I've decided it isn't worth getting into another edit war on this article, but don't push me because I might decide to revert it back again just out of spite if the intimidation tactics continue on my talk page. annoynmous 01:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Violating the 3RR means you did it more than 3 times in a 24 hour period so stop lieing about me on my talk page. You are the one making threats. I have agreed to give up the edit in the article so this tone is rude and unfounded. annoynmous 01:50, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

The only stuff I reverted was redundant sources that were already cited in the article and one google book link where the relevant page number was omitted.

It seems to me that you should change your user name to revision-historicist because thats what your doing now. I was arguing for tags, I let you keep every edit you made except for the ones mentioned above.

Excuse me when editors lie and say I violated the 3RR rule when I didn't I get mad. I also get mad when instead of making arguments on the talk page for the article, cetain editors with the help of biased administrators use bully tactics to shut someone up even when there based on false claims.

I've agreed to not add back the section so let me decide what I put on my own talk page thank you very much. annoynmous 02:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Valley Beth Shalom --> Valley Beth Shalom (Encino, California)?_Valley_Beth_Shalom_(Encino,_California)?-2009-03-26T19:05:00.000Z">

Hi, I'm just curious why you moved the article Valley Beth Shalom to Valley Beth Shalom (Encino, California)? Is there another Valley Beth Shalom that it needs to be disambiguated? Or is there an equally major synagogue of the same name that would trump a "for other uses" on the Valley Beth Shalom page. If not we should keep it where it was as it just gets to be cumbersome. Valley2city 19:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)_Valley_Beth_Shalom_(Encino,_California)?"> _Valley_Beth_Shalom_(Encino,_California)?">

That makes sense. However I'm a little concerned about what sort of precidence it might create for articles that many more things will have locations attached to the titles. Unless there needs to be a disambiguation, I think it is sufficient for there to be the location in the first sentence of the article. As for Valley Beth Shalom, with 1,800 families and its over-reaching cultural influence I think merit a name without the necessity for a location attached to it. I also don't think there are any other locations that share the same name, at least those that would be notable enough for a WP article. I therefore am going to move it back, always with the future possibility, if needed, to be disambiguated, or as I mentioned above "this article is about the synagogue in Encino, California, for other..."Valley2city 00:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Leah Horowitz

You're welcome, and thank you for the assistance with the article. I felt a bit out of my league on that one, especially since I don't speak the language, but the subject seems very interesting and very deserving of an article here. Thanks again! Vulture19 (talk) 22:45, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Kate Baldwin

The article reads as if you would like to be (grin). I'm not prepared to restore as it stands, although I don't doubt your good faith. It needs some basic bio and career details to offset the hagiography. I'll put the text here soon so you can work on it. jimfbleak (talk) 13:01, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I've expressed my concerns, but you have the text so there is nothing to prevent you from recreating exactly as before at any time. If you do so, in the light of your comments I won't redelete in the short term, but that doesn't mean that no one else will. jimfbleak (talk) 05:43, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Kate Baldwin

A tag has been placed on Kate Baldwin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

On Chariots with Horses of Fire and Iron

Hi Historicist! Do you have this book? If so, I believe we should have a great collaboration on the Jaffa–Jerusalem article. I am going through the book slowly, and stopped at p. 26 for now, but there appears to be a lot of new information there which did not appear in The Railways of Palestine and Israel by Paul Cotterell. Please let me know. Thanks, Ynhockey 13:04, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Stanton Street Synagogue

Hi, hope i didn't cause an edit conflict just now. I saw your edit to the lower Manhattan NRHP list-article, and visited Stanton Street Synagogue to add an NRHP infobox. Seems you are editing it too, so i won't further now. Perhaps you can add the photo to article, that appears in thumbnail at the NRHP list.

About names in the NRHP list, the intention there is to show the NRHP program names for sites, so I set up a redirect from Stanton Street Shul and also put a pipelink in to show "Stanton Street Shul" in the NRHP list-article. Also that should stay as the title of the NRHP infobox in the article, as it is the NRHP name for the site. Thanks for making the connection to the NRHP list-article! Keep up the good work in developing it further. :) doncram (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I recently did about four NRHP-listed Orthodox synagogues from the rural Catskills, in eastern Sullivan County, New York:

• Hebrew Congregation of Mountaindale Synagogue
• Ohave Shalom Synagogue
• South Fallsburg Hebrew Association Synagogue
• Anshei Glen Wild Synagogue

Don't know if you've got anything in your books you can add to them. Just letting you know if you do. Daniel Case (talk) 05:12, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the people who write those things are occasionally known to make errors, but usually I have to trust them. And maybe they take the sukkah outside during Sukkot ... you know, why rebuild it every year? Perhaps I'll have to pay a visit during that time of year. Not being Jewish myself, when is it next? I might be able to pass by during that time. Daniel Case (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Richard Stirling

Hi there. Curious as to your move of Richard Stirling (cricketer) - as there is no other Misplaced Pages article under the name of Richard Stirling, I was wondering if you knew of any other Richard Stirlings which are missing articles? The only other name I can find on Misplaced Pages is Richard Sterling.

All the best. Bobo. 19:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Aha, problem solved, while I was writing that, you set up a new article! Should we change Richard Stirling into a disambiguation page? Bobo. 19:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Seven Other Children

Hi, I'm not sure that this play merits an article in its own right. It's life and encyclopaedic interest seems to be secondary to Seven Jewish Children. From googling, I can only find it receiving coverage in community press. By community I mean either Jewish or North London. If it gets a review or coverage in one of the nationals or one of the four big London papers (meaning the Standard, the Metro (London edition), London Light or the London Paper), I think it will have passed the threshold.

I agree that it is appropriate to mention the play in the SJC article and that the author's other work probably means that he merits an article in his own right. It's just the SOC article I'm uncomfortable with.--Peter cohen (talk) 20:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I believe my thinking is in line with this essay Misplaced Pages:News articles. Not a policy, I know, but I think it reflects the spirit of the policy. Will there be stuff written in five years time that mentions SJC? I think so. SJO? Only in the context of material on SJC.--Peter cohen (talk) 14:55, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Just and Unjust Wars

This is a major book that undoubtedly deserves an article. In fact, it had one until someone inexplicably (and unjustly, without an RFD) expunged the page. I have no idea how well that article was written. Can someone tell me how to retrieve it?{{helpme}}Historicist (talk) 00:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there.

I've moved this over to your own talk page, easier to deal with here.

Firstly, please have a read of Misplaced Pages:Notability (books), the guideline on these things.

Secondly, I will try my best to get a copy of the old article put into your userspace - where you could work on improving it (if you think you can get enough reliable sources to satisfy the above)

I'll put more here soon.  Chzz  ►  01:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Historicist, I couldn't find an admin online to do it, so I will ask below, with this;

{{adminhelp}} Per the above, is there an older version of the page Just and Unjust Wars please, and if so - and appropriate - please userfy it for this user. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  04:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The deletion was not inexplicable, nor unjust. We delete articles for all manner of reasons, including because they are attack pages, copyright violations, fail to assert importance in certain cases, have no content, are blatant advertising, and so on. The reason is usually set forth in the deletion log. The naked fact that a page is deleted is not a reflection on the worthiness of the subject to have an article but based on the actual reason it was deleted. In this case, the article was not an article at all. Rather, a user created the title not even as a reference to this book, but simply as an alternate name for just war (as a redirect to that title), and then asked that it be speedy deleted under CSD G7 for the very reason that he realized a book existed and it would be better to exist as a red link (an uncreated title), thus leaving it open for creation. All that is to say, the deleted title had no content on this book whatever.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, fair enough. Thanks Fuhghettaboutit. Historicist, good luck making an article; let me know if I can help further.  Chzz  ►  18:08, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Eric Nelson (scholar)

Re your message: I am sorry that you feel that my deletion was discourteous. It is usual practice for articles that are put up for speedy deletion and qualify under the appropriate category to not be held for several days so that the original author can come back to it at a later time. If the article qualifies for deletion (which does not seem to be in dispute here) and an admin gets to the article, it is deleted. I did notice that you tagged the article with an {{underconstruction}} tag, but you had not edited the article in over 7 hours when I deleted the article. Since the article had very little content and no claim to his notability per WP:BIO, I deleted the article. If you wish, I can restore the content into your user space and you can work on there without worrying about it being deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
