Disambiguation link notification

Hi. In Tallit, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Ashkenasic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Judaism Portal

Hi, I was just wondering what you were adding to Portal:Judaism? Are you having technical difficulties? Magister Scienta 14:57, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Happy Chanukah Chesdovi!

Hello Chesdovi, have a happy, gelt and latke filled Chanukah! -Magister Scienta (talk)

Maariv→Arvith

If I were to initiate a WP:RM to move Maariv to Arvith, would that be something to which you would object?—Biosketch (talk) 17:31, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

It is so called in the diaspora by Sefardim, who spell it: Arbit. I prefer evening prayers or service. Chesdovi (talk) 17:37, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Judaism Portal

Hi Chesdovi, I was just wondering why you were taking some of the Judaism FAs off of the portal page that gives a list of them (e.g. Anne Frank). Thanks, Magister Scienta 18:57, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

What does Anne Frank have to do with Judaism? Was she a rabbi? Chesdovi (talk) 19:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

She was Jewish and is perhaps the best known victim of the Holocaust. Magister Scienta 21:34, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Judaism and Jews are different. Judaism is the religion, Jews are people of semitic appearance who enjoy eating chopped liver. I agree the wikiproject scope os blurrred, but it is like that as no other project or portal has been created. If this was called "Jews and Judaism" it would be different. Chesdovi (talk) 22:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that article about Jewish people should, in their own right, not be included in the scope of WikiProject Judaism? Magister Scienta 23:05, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes. (But I think User:Busstop disagrees). Chesdovi (talk) 01:19, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Since it is currently WikiProjects Judaism's de facto policy to consider most articles pertaining to some form of Judaism, Jewishness, etc. part of the scope of the project, I think you need to have an RfC (most likely on the project's talk page) to clarify what WikiProject Judaism's policy on scope is. Otherwise, I think it's fair that I reinsert the FA articles that you took off of the portal section. As a courtesy I will not male an action pertaining to any of this until either a) a consensus has been found concerning this issue of b) you tell me you don't want to continue this issue. Thanks, Magister Scienta 03:23, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited History of the Jews in the Land of Israel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Temple of Jupiter (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

More uploads from Hebrew wikipedia

Hi, I was wondering if you could upload these images from the Hebrew Misplaced Pages for inclusion in articles about the Sochatchov Hasidic dynasty. (I'm currently writing the main page for the dynasty, though I already have all the rabbi pages up.) If you don't have time for this, could you direct me to some kind of instructions for uploading these images?

• Ohel of the Avnei Nezer
• Shmuel Bornsztain, Sixth Sochatchover Rebbe
• Menachem Shlomo Bornsztain

Thank you very much, Yoninah (talk) 22:31, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

You save the image (use the same name or choose a better one in English), then upload it to commons retaining all the details of the original uploader. Chesdovi (talk) 22:42, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, I have spent a few minutes back and forth with Commons Helper and TUSC control, and I have no idea how to upload Menachem Shlomo Bornsztain! Do you mind? Yoninah (talk) 17:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I suggest cropping out the right book shelf on: Shmuel Bornsztain, Sixth Sochatchover Rebbe.jpg. Chesdovi (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

OK. I don't know how to crop pictures, either :( Yoninah (talk) 15:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Notice of discussion at the Administrators' Noticeboard

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:40, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

... and it's been closed. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Well its very lucky, because I did not check the history. Chesdovi (talk) 15:13, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Sochaczew Jewish cemetery

Thanks for the heads-up on these images. They're excellent for the Avrohom Bornsztain page, where I see I added a whole discussion about the restoration of the ohel and the cemetery. Yoninah (talk) 15:45, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

I agree, and thanks, it makes interesting reading. Chesdovi (talk) 15:57, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

History of the Jews in the Land of Israel

Hi Chesdovi. I really appreciate the superb job you are doing on this article.

Since I understand you have a lot of knowledge in this topic, I'd really appreciate any help you can provide in the improvement and expansion of the article Timeline of the history of the region of Palestine (I mostly need help completing all the missing reliable scientific sources to the events occurring prior to the 1st millennium). TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:33, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

It's a matter of having the time and will I'm afriad. Chesdovi (talk) 21:23, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Israel Friedman of Ruzhyn

Hi, I noticed your latest edit, removing "Yisroel" from the page. Did you see my comment here on the talk page? I really think this article should be retitled Yisroel Friedman of Ruzhin. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 19:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

I am all for consistency, but in this case I feel Israel is better. Chesdovi (talk) 10:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Alfandari

I don't think it's him. He was Turkish, not Yemenite. Yoninah (talk) 12:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Response

Lemme know if you have a response to this. Silence would mean you agree.VR _talk 00:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Nabi Yahya Mosque

Greetings old friend! Just wanted thank you for adding that picture to the article ;) --Al Ameer son (talk) 19:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I saw it and couldn't resist, and it looks much better in the box you put it in. Chesdovi (talk) 20:57, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Jerusalem Naming Conventions

Hi, I've put up a proposal re: Naming Conventions for Locations in Jerusalem here (http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Israel_Palestine_Collaboration/Current_Article_Issues#Naming_Conventions_for_Locations_in_Jerusalem) and would very much appreciate any comments you have on this issue.

Arbitration Enforcement

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

Further, given the number of bans you are currently under and your continued violation I have proposed an indefinite ARBPIA topic ban for you. As you are currently blocked you won't be able to respond at WP:AE but I will post any comments or response you have for there if you post them here on your talk page or email them to me. --WGFinley (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Sorry about your block. You're doing a terrific job for the project, so your services will be missed. Please enjoy your vacation! Frederico1234 (talk) 21:29, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Arbitration Enforcement

Per this AE report this is to notify you that you are topic banned from all articles, discussions, and other content related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly construed across all namespaces indefinitely per this AE report. This replaces all previous ARBPIA sanctions against you. Your block for 30 days remains in place. Future violations of your TBAN will result in long term blocks. --WGFinley (talk) 17:43, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
