Edits

Hi! Do you know why your first edits in your contribs list are dated back in January 4, 2003? Those edits were made in March 2005. I am really convinced that this was a temporary bug in the MediaWiki software. HeyMid (contributions) 13:26, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, there was a bug in the software for those two edits. How did you happen to notice? Jayjg 01:31, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
I was looking in the edit history of Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents when I saw that one edit was back in January 2003, weirdly. So I took a quick look at your contributions log, and saw an AFD which also had the wrong date. Are the edits still at the right clock? Is it just the date (January 4, 2003) that is wrong? For how long time was this bug in the software? And you didn't actually notice this bug when you made those two edits. HeyMid (contributions) 09:54, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if they're at the right clock, and I don't recall noticing they were improperly time-stamped until long after I made them. Jayjg 02:57, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Request for mediation of Ed Miliband

A request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to Ed Miliband was recently filed. As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. The process of mediation is entirely voluntary and focuses exclusively on the content issues over which there is disagreement. Please review the request page and the guide to mediation requests and then indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate. Discussion relating to the mediation request welcome at the case talk page.

Thank you, AGK 11:56, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Article on Holocaust Denial

Unsourced? Do you deny that the holodomor occurred? Or that Walter Duranty covered it up? Click on the links before you delete.John Paul Parks (talk) 16:23, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Your insertion was unsourced because it had not one citation; in fact, instead it had two tags. Please continue any further discussion on the article Talk: page. Jayjg 02:55, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Beth Israel Congregation of Chester County

Updated DYK queryOn 25 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Beth Israel Congregation of Chester County, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Beth Israel Congregation of Chester County, the first American synagogue to hire a woman as senior rabbi, is Conservative? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for letting me know, Materialscientist. Jayjg 03:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Re:

I'm pretty sure Mbz1 knows that article's neatness was your doing. He was trying to get me to nominate it because he thought it would spite you for having nominated so many Jewish lists recently. I can't think of any other reason why he'd leave me that message. In any case, I don't agree with random ethnicity + occupation lists but since that viewpoint isn't consensus (yet), I see no rush to dispose of them (when they are nice and sourced like that). Bulldog123 02:52, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, if that wasn't his intent, I really don't know what was, because his voting history (and general opinion) has been pretty wildly inconsistent on these topics. I know you're trying to WP:AGF but it's really, really hard to here. Also, if you actually want me to nominate the businesspeople list... I'll nominate it (even though there might be MEATPUPPET accusations flying after that). However, you'll have to give me a strong argument to put in the nomination rationale. Otherwise we won't counter all the "Keep - it's sourced and there's this one, fringey book: BLAH by BLAH" votes. I don't think "Irrelevant intersection" alone is going to sway anyone on the fence (even if we both believe in that). Bulldog123 03:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if you're busy in real life right now, but you are leaving all the heavy lifting to me and a few others on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of Jewish actors and Misplaced Pages:Articles for Deletion/List of Jewish American entertainers - despite stating how strongly you want the lists to go. We've had, as expected, a little underground CANVASSing campaign explode, and pretty much all the "regulars" are showing up. Can't really engage in discussion by myself here. I suppose it doesn't matter though, as they're all likely to close "no consensus" (AKA: no progress) by this afternoon. Bulldog123 21:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I was just going to suggest nominating the British article. Hive mind. Hopefully you'll participate a little more in this one. Bulldog123 09:10, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Bagg Street Shul

Hi Jayig, the Bagg Street Shul is no longer under the leadership of Rabbi Mann and he has not been replaced. I also don't have a source that can support this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason.Schwartz (talkcontribs) 03:05, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I've changed the article text to note that that was the situation in 2008. Thanks for letting me know. Jayjg 03:44, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for your support at my RfA last week. I'll do everything I can to live up to your expectations and trust. Panyd 22:35, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

My pleasure. Jayjg 00:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Antisemitism in Sweden

Hi, i was wondering if you knew how i add the "Antisemitism template" to the article about antisemitism in Sweden. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shalalal (talkcontribs) 23:07, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

No, I didn't, but the template can't include every single article on antisemitism, and particularly not articles on antisemitism in one country. Also, the material you added to the antisemitism article was far too long and specific. Antisemitism is supposed to be an overview of the topic, and the section you added was a very long description of a prolonged incident with one individual. Please review WP:UNDUE, WP:RECENTISM, WP:NOTNEWS. Jayjg 23:20, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Mibeis HaGenozim - Treasures From The Chabad Library

Hi Jayjg. Sorry for not responding to your message. When I got to RSN it seemed there had already been replies and I couldn't add anything. If it still needs attention let me know and I will try to look into it. Itsmejudith (talk) 11:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for looking. Jayjg 06:41, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Two old friends

Hi there, I'm currently in a state of semi-retirement on Misplaced Pages compared with previous activity. This isn't helped by recently when I visit the project I kept on seeing a picture of the man who doesn't like being described as a CO-founder of Wikiepdia.

Anyway what little activity I have done in the last week or two has been on articles where old friends of ours are active. Over at Talk:David Irving the man who likes to chat to Irving via email has made a reappearance and I have decided to call him on that.

In the mean time, I've been surprised not to see you at Jewish control of the media (Antisemitic canard) or whatever it gets called next which was started by another mutual acquaintance. --Peter cohen (talk) 20:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, he's continued doing this, and he also recently created Criticism of the Talmud. However, there's little I can do about it on my own, so I've focused on more enjoyable activities, like article creation and writing. What would you suggest should be done? Jayjg 06:19, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

thanks

Many thanks for your gracious note on my talkpage. Especially coming from an editor with whom I had an opposite view on 5 of the 6 AfDs at issue, it was highly appreciated. Your ability to disagree energetically and honestly, while abiding by core wikipedia principles and core personal principles such as honesty, is reflected in your note. It's exemplary, and the project would be the better for it if you could spread it, which you no doubt do by setting an example. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 08:17, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
