== Categories on Roubini ==
Many are already sourced at the "source" - at the wiki article on the person, to which they are linked. No need for double work on these (if this were a Wiki policy).--] 23:32, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


Since I had removed a few of the categories which you restored, I'll throw in a few cents of rationale.
== "User Jayjg's policy" ==


There seems to be a lot of overlapping and contradictory catagories used. For example: People from Istanbul; Turkish Jews; Persian Jews; Iranian Americans; Turkish Americans; and, Israeli-Americans. The article says he was born in Turkey and moved back to Iran with his parents soon after. He had a year of undergrad studies in Israel. So it seems that categorizing him as a Turkish Jew, Iranian American, or even Israeli American, is making the categories less meaningful.
Hi Wasserman. Please desist from using the phrase "user Jayjg's policy" or similar locutions in future edit summaries; it is a violation of an important Misplaced Pages policy, ]. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 22:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
:It was you that blanked the ] in a flash even though 90% of all the other ] don't have sources, right? That IS your 'new policy,' right? --] 08:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
::Like I wrote on the TP of the ] list, to which you never responded: "...if dozens if not hundreds of these lists still remain entirely unreferenced, why are you targeting this particular one Jayjg?" --] 08:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


The same could be said of his category in Jewish American writers, and American economics writers. Since he only wrote one book and is not noted for being widely published, outside of his website and newsletters, it seems again to degrade the category system by calling him a "writer." As for his being an alumni or faculty member, the numerous categories include schools where he only went or taught for a limited time. There are other categories which seem redundant to the point of looking like filler.
== ] ==


All in all, I feel that overlapping, redundant, or loosely-defined categories should be avoided, especially when religion is involved, as it may undermine the category system. --] (]) 20:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

:Categories can never be "filler" because they are the organizational backbone of Misplaced Pages, and as long as a category is factual it belongs in an article to help organize the chaos of this encyclopedia. None of the categories I reinserted overlap or contradict each other, and they are all valid. Roubini is all of those things listed in the categories I just reinserted. Therefore, the categories belong in the article. --] (]) 20:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm afraid you're misusing your talk page by holding the "Jewdar" deleted article there. What you could do is host it in your user space, however, I warn you that eventually, someone will come along and list that page for deletion too. In the meantime though, that's your best bet. You could click ] and cut and paste the material to the new page. Ignoring the requests of others not to misuse your talk page is a swift route to trouble and I'm sure you don't really want to start ignoring Misplaced Pages's rules and conventions. Yours helpfully, --] 12:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
:Actually... I'm thinking. Is it against the GFDL to post the deleted content without its history? In that case, the only way a version could be hosted in Wassermann's user space is if it was recreated by him (without using the contributions of others). That's assuming there are other contributors. <font color="#1874CD"><b>]</b></font><small><sup><font color="B22222">]</font></sup></small> 12:26, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
::Leebo is correct. Furthermore, WassermanNYC's persistence in posting this here without going through the proper channels is clearly ]. Consider this a warning; posting this content again here will result in your being blocked from editing. I've linked you to the instructions on how to request a deletion review.

:::I'm not trying to create controversy here, just trying to preserve a worthy page that was unjustly deleted. I had no clue that posting deleted material on my userpage was against the rules, so I do apologize for not knowing that. I still don't understand this "deletion review" process...all of that procedure and code is too complicated for an old guy like me, so if someone here knows how to work through the deletion review process please do so and let me know here. I don't know how to use many of the advanced features of Misplaced Pages yet, and I'm not sure if I ever will. --] 04:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
::::I will gladly help you. You will need to look at the old AFD (found ] and articulate what you object to. It does look like process kinda fell apart in the discussion, so that's on your side. Do you have new sources that attest to this word's use in the vernacular? If you can write out your reasonings for overturning this deletion, I will set up the review on your behalf. -- ] 04:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::First off, the word/concept has had an article in Wiktionary for a long time, but no one has objected to that. I also found a few new links that use the word and refer to the concept, including some sources from the Jewish '']'' magazine and others (also note that the original sources include the ''Washington Post'', Salon.com, the ''Weekly Standard'', the ''NY Press'', the American Dialect Society, and others). Someone also told me once that "Jewdar" is also a Jewish dating service of some sort (maybe it is local somewhere?), yet I haven't found it on the web (remember: not EVERYTHING is found on the web). Also, just glancing at "Category:Neologisms" shows that there are dozens of other words that are 'allowed' to have articles here on Misplaced Pages, even though "Jewdar" is more notable, widespread, and more widely known than most of the words in that category. I also believe that, for whatever reason, the article was unfairly targeted by a group of tight-knit editors that ganged up on the article and unjustly forcing its deletion. The article was and is more well sourced that 90% of the articles on Misplaced Pages, and yet it was still deleted. I'd like to know why. --] 04:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
(reset indent) Okay! I've listed it on deletion review ]. Good luck!
:Thanks...I really appreciate that. --] 05:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
::It's no problem -- I understand how convoluted some processes are around here. However, maybe next time you might not be so jumpy when an editor makes an edit you don't like? I try extremely hard to be patient and understanding with all the editors I work with, because I know that, unfortunately, I make a few of them angry. But there are reasons for what I do, and I'm always happy to explain them or even to restore articles to users to help them fix them up. Just something to keep in mind. :) -- ] 05:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Yeah, many of the processes on Misplaced Pages are indeed very convoluted, especially since I'm still learning many of them and don't know much about protocol, obscure policies, advanced features, and all of that. I do want to apologize again for being jumpy as you said; I wasn't really angry so much as mildly disturbed, because I didn't know that other people were allowed to alter the talk pages of other users unless it was a direct personal attack or something of that nature. But now that I know this policy, I won't do it again. And thanks for being very patient and understanding with such a Wiki-illiterate user like me. Take it easy! --] 05:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


I you want to add ] to an article, especially to bios of medieval scholars, you need to provide a good reference. --&nbsp;]&nbsp;]&nbsp; 00:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
== Ethnicity in bios ==


== Barnstar, etc. ==
It depends on whether their ethnicity was notable or relevant, particularly to them. For example, even though ] was not particularly religious, nor did his work involved Jewish topics, he was a Zionist, he was forced to flee Germany because he was a Jew, the Nazis tried to remove references to his work because he was a Jew, and he was also offered the post of President of Israel, because he was a Jew. Moreover, his Jewishness is regularly cited in reliable sources. That's notable. ]<sup><small><font color="DarkGreen">]</font></small></sup> 21:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
:How about ]?--] 21:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


Hey there. I'm more than a little embarassed that I'm only now leaving you a note to thank you for that Barnstar. Compared to my normal level, I've done very little editing over the last few weeks (due to R/L stuff) -- so the Barnstar really caught me by surprise, and I wasn't quite sure what had prompted it since I wasn't exactly feeling like a "Tireless Contributor". :) I puzzled over what to say for a couple of days, but then a freak hail storm blew through (I'm in a rural area) and knocked out our power for a few hours, which always causes me to lose track of all the stuff I'm dealing with on Wiki. Well, as luck would have it, I finally got around to looking back through some recent CFDs last night to see how they had turned out. I was really glad to spot a few of your comments, since I haven't seen your name around there lately. And of course it also reminded me that I hadn't ever replied. So thanks for the salute -- much appreciated. And after looking at your recent talk page archive, I think I understand why (in light of your recent travails). (Feel free to drop me an email if you like.) Regards, ] (]) 13:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
::That looks pretty out of place to me. ] 21:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
:That barnstar was very well-deserved and long overdue on my part. I am constantly impressed by your extensive (and of course tireless!) work with the categories here on Misplaced Pages -- thus a barnstar is the least someone could give you to show that your hard work and true commitment to a NPOV is much appreciated and valued here. Keep up the good work! --] (]) 08:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Don't try removing that material because the owner of that article won't allow it. My interest in bios began when I noticed that "Jewish-American" was added to the lead sentence of approximately 800 Misplaced Pages biographes. It seems that this was done out of some sort of ethnic pride I am guessing but darker forces could have been involved as well, who really knows. The problem is that certain editors then wanted to add the Jewish-American tag to every criminal of Jewish decent. Then certain editors wanted to add every Jewish person to the list of Jewish-American business people to prove that the world is controlled by Jews or something. I am going to take my own advice and not edit this article for a while and step back. It seems that folks have an agenda either for inclusion or exclusion of Libby's ethnicity.

Also, it is clear that the page was unfairly targeted for deletion, even though most of the other ] (and most of the articles on Misplaced Pages) aren't sourced at all. I might try to restore the list in the coming days; if this is blocked by those users that for whatever reason are trying to prevent it, I might have to start blanking other lists of Jews (even though I of course don't want to) in the interest of consistency and fairness. --] 06:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

::::Seems sort of a perversion of Misplaced Pages that people can bully their way into being "owners" of articles.

You need to read the category definition more carefully. "This category contains religious leaders w''hose main basis of authority'' was or is based on charismatic authority." <sub></sub> While somewhat charismatic, Dr. King did not fit that definition. --] 19:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
:It's obvious that King was indeed a charismatic religious leader and thus belongs in the category. Dr. King is, in fact, often described as one of the most charismatic religious AND political leaders of the entire 20th Century, at least in America. That category definition was written by a layperson/novice, and needs to be changed (I'll do that).

:"Last warning" huh? And what happens next time I question and/or expose your (often times) unethical/biased 'editing tactics'? Too terse, too brief, often rude, unworthy, unexplained, and pathetically unsubstantiated "responses" (either in the edit summary, but mostly on talk pages) does indeed seem to be a 'tactic' that you and others use in order to silence debate on a particular edit/topic/issue (trust me though: you're not the only admin. that uses this 'tactic,' though you are among the worst offenders). I'm just stating the facts, Sir -- I can't help but tell the truth, especially when it comes to the wrongdoings/shortcomings (and clear bias) of people in 'positions of authority' (is an administrator position on a 2nd-rate internet encyclopedia even considered a real 'position of authority'?). Sometimes the truth hurts a little bit (though I obviously didn't intend the "User:Jayjg tactic" comment to be a personal insult, it was more like constructive criticism).

I remember the first time that an article I created was nominated for deletion, and I went ballistic. How could they? In retrospect, it was a pretty poor article, but I know how attached an editor can be even to articles or categories he didn't create. One of my first contacts with ] was for a category about burials at a Bronx cemetery. I was able to show sources for all of the burials and articles in The New York Times and elsewhere about the connection between the individuals and the cemetery. All I saw in response was a lot of hand waving and contortions claiming that I didn't know the difference between notability (the well-defined standard for articles that can be satisfied by sources) and definingness (the undefined and arbitrary standard for categories). While I don't think that there is an anti-Jewish conspiracy at CfD, there are lots of problems there. I have provided sources to show that dozens of categories are defining only to be outvoted and seen the categories deleted, despite strong arguments for retention. What you've seen for the recent spate of Jewish-related categories is a symptom of the groupthink that prevails at CfD. This arbitrary process can be seen at ], where a well-sourced argument to overturn and recreate a category deleted by a borderline CfD has resulted in most CfD insiders voting to endorse the result, while every single outsider supports the recreation of the category and sees it as defining. Your work at ] to provide nearly a dozen sources showing the Jewish-connection of these surnames as defining was masterful, and the response that your sources can be ignored because of this undefined trait of definingness is typical of the "we know better, you know nothing" approach that often prevails. People whose clear logical views are rejected often get angry, and that anger can turn into actions that result in blocks and ultimately bans. It sometimes seems that a strategy is used to trigger arguments that can be used at ] reports to get users blocked. Don't fall into that trap. When your blood starts to boil, take a deep breath and use the power of your arguments based on sources and Misplaced Pages policy to help make the changes you want to see happen take effect. Don't allow yourself to be bullied or intimidated or pushed into a corner and lashing out, all of which accomplishes nothing. CfD needs greater participation from the community as a whole so that the consensus reached there can start to be representative of the views of the community as a whole. Use the power of your persuasive arguments to help make these changes. Feel free to reach me on my talk page or via email if you want to discuss this further. As you say on your user page about CfD, "CHECK AND COMMENT UPON THESE MUCH MORE OFTEN" and do so in productive fashion. ] (]) 14:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

*Wassermann, I want you to be aware of a forceful statement I made on ], in which I put on my administrator hat and advised him to stop painting ] as an anti-Semite. You allege a much vaster conspiracy which didn't specifically target Otto, but I'm concerned about your tone as well. I have commented as such on your ANI discussion. Alansohn, an editor who has leveled rather different negative charges at me and others on CfD, nonetheless is giving you some very good advice in the latter part of his discussion above. If you attack the editor, you also destroy any chance of your argument succeeding.

*Wassermann, I too would appreciate it if you could tone down your CfD comments.

Hey there. I noticed you re-categorized the ] and ].

Hallo, I see you've put the ] article into the Category: Anti-Judaism. I guess the reason is that Marx's essay is considered to take a standpoint hostile to Judaism. I've removed the article from that category again.
Please note that the article gives the sourced information that most critical scholars reject the argument that Marx would be an anti-Semit (I have not checked that source myself). So there must be a good reason to put the article into the category "anti-judaism".

:Actually, this category is totally appropriate considering Marx offers a radical critique of Judaism throughout the essay, coming to some fairly negative conclusions about Jews and Judaism. I'm not saying that Marx was an anti-Semite, only that this particular tract is very much against Judaism -- thus it belongs in the category. Have you ever read it? --] 07:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I've read the definiton of anti-Judaism in the ]:
''"a total or partial opposition to Judaism—and to Jews as adherents of it—by men who accept a competing system of beliefs and practices and consider certain genuine Judaic beliefs and practices as inferior".''
I don't think Marx accepted a system of beliefs and practices competing with Judaism. On the contrary, he advocated legal political equality for Jews. He probably believed that religious belief would become irrelevant in an emancipated society. Marx's main target of critique in part II of the essay is the ubiquity of
huckstering in bourgeois society. He then critisizes Judaism and Christianity as the interdependent ideologies of this society.
Since some have compared the essay with ]'s ideas, I would not object to put ] into Categories: ] or ].

The answer to your question is no: it isn't censorship to exclude ]'s work from ]. The ] is quite clear: "Exceptional claims should be supported by ''multiple'' reliable sources, especially regarding scientific or medical topics, ''historical events, politically charged issues'', and biographies of living people" . The ] is equally clear: "Articles that compare views should not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views, and may not include tiny-minority views at all." Toaff's work is an "exceptional claim" from a ''single'' source and represents a "tiny-minority view" and so doesn't belong in the article. --]<sup><small>(])</small></sup> 03:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

== Your account will be renamed ==

<div class="plainlinks mw-content-ltr" lang="en" dir="ltr">
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See ] for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wassermann. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wassermann~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can ]. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit ] to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Categories on Roubini

Since I had removed a few of the categories which you restored, I'll throw in a few cents of rationale.

There seems to be a lot of overlapping and contradictory catagories used. For example: People from Istanbul; Turkish Jews; Persian Jews; Iranian Americans; Turkish Americans; and, Israeli-Americans. The article says he was born in Turkey and moved back to Iran with his parents soon after. He had a year of undergrad studies in Israel. So it seems that categorizing him as a Turkish Jew, Iranian American, or even Israeli American, is making the categories less meaningful.

The same could be said of his category in Jewish American writers, and American economics writers. Since he only wrote one book and is not noted for being widely published, outside of his website and newsletters, it seems again to degrade the category system by calling him a "writer." As for his being an alumni or faculty member, the numerous categories include schools where he only went or taught for a limited time. There are other categories which seem redundant to the point of looking like filler.

All in all, I feel that overlapping, redundant, or loosely-defined categories should be avoided, especially when religion is involved, as it may undermine the category system. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 20:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Categories can never be "filler" because they are the organizational backbone of Misplaced Pages, and as long as a category is factual it belongs in an article to help organize the chaos of this encyclopedia. None of the categories I reinserted overlap or contradict each other, and they are all valid. Roubini is all of those things listed in the categories I just reinserted. Therefore, the categories belong in the article. --Wassermann (talk) 20:40, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Astrologers

I you want to add Category:German astrologers to an article, especially to bios of medieval scholars, you need to provide a good reference. -- Matthead  Discuß   00:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar, etc.

Hey there. I'm more than a little embarassed that I'm only now leaving you a note to thank you for that Barnstar. Compared to my normal level, I've done very little editing over the last few weeks (due to R/L stuff) -- so the Barnstar really caught me by surprise, and I wasn't quite sure what had prompted it since I wasn't exactly feeling like a "Tireless Contributor". :) I puzzled over what to say for a couple of days, but then a freak hail storm blew through (I'm in a rural area) and knocked out our power for a few hours, which always causes me to lose track of all the stuff I'm dealing with on Wiki. Well, as luck would have it, I finally got around to looking back through some recent CFDs last night to see how they had turned out. I was really glad to spot a few of your comments, since I haven't seen your name around there lately. And of course it also reminded me that I hadn't ever replied. So thanks for the salute -- much appreciated. And after looking at your recent talk page archive, I think I understand why (in light of your recent travails). (Feel free to drop me an email if you like.) Regards, Cgingold (talk) 13:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

That barnstar was very well-deserved and long overdue on my part. I am constantly impressed by your extensive (and of course tireless!) work with the categories here on Misplaced Pages -- thus a barnstar is the least someone could give you to show that your hard work and true commitment to a NPOV is much appreciated and valued here. Keep up the good work! --Wassermann (talk) 08:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Undelete

Can you help tell me how we undelete the deletion of the category of Jewish economists? I didn't even get a chance to blink, or input my thoughts. I think the discussion was uninformed as it missed that the Jews are a nation, not just a religion, etc.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, not sure if that is possible. However, I would suggest the creation of Category:Jewish American economists instead (as well as other "Jewish economists by nationality" categories). If you haven't noticed yet, there is a currently a major censorship campaign raging on Misplaced Pages wherein rabid censors are attempting to hijack the CfD boards and unjustly delete as many Jewish related categories as they possibly can. Let us be vigilant against their 'book burnings' and let us also attempt to save as much of this valid info as we possibly can before it is wantonly tossed in to the censorious flames. --Wassermann (talk) 10:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Tx. It's certainly an odd obsession, the felt need to delete those categories. I don't mind a thoughtful discussion, but when experienced editors start quoting half a sentence, and leave out a pertinent part, it does make one strain not to raise an eyebrow. Pls let me know if there are other attempts of this sort, as I believe they are wrong-headed. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:35, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:ANI

You are being discussed at WP:ANI. Otto4711 (talk) 23:11, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

Unfortunately, accusing others of being part of some crazy conspiracy makes you look bad and may lead to negative consequences. If you feel that deleting these categories is unjustified provide cogent, logical reasons why they should be kept. Triplestop (talk) 03:19, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, please understand that you can not put someone in the Jewish category unless you can cite a source to show that each particular person added is Jewish. This is along the lines of putting Category:Muslims on Obama. Would you like it if you were incorrectly classified as Jewish, or any other race/religion for that matter? This why it is important to have sources, especially for living people. Triplestop (talk) 19:54, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not recreate pages and categories that were validly deleted previously, as you did with Category:Jewish American economists. If you continue to do this, you can be blocked from editing. – Quadell 16:55, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Level-headedness at WP:CFD and elsewhere

I remember the first time that an article I created was nominated for deletion, and I went ballistic. How could they? In retrospect, it was a pretty poor article, but I know how attached an editor can be even to articles or categories he didn't create. One of my first contacts with WP:CFD was for a category about burials at a Bronx cemetery. I was able to show sources for all of the burials and articles in The New York Times and elsewhere about the connection between the individuals and the cemetery. All I saw in response was a lot of hand waving and contortions claiming that I didn't know the difference between notability (the well-defined standard for articles that can be satisfied by sources) and definingness (the undefined and arbitrary standard for categories). While I don't think that there is an anti-Jewish conspiracy at CfD, there are lots of problems there. I have provided sources to show that dozens of categories are defining only to be outvoted and seen the categories deleted, despite strong arguments for retention. What you've seen for the recent spate of Jewish-related categories is a symptom of the groupthink that prevails at CfD. This arbitrary process can be seen at Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review/Log/2009_June_9#Category:Fictional_Jews, where a well-sourced argument to overturn and recreate a category deleted by a borderline CfD has resulted in most CfD insiders voting to endorse the result, while every single outsider supports the recreation of the category and sees it as defining. Your work at Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_June_7#Category:Jewish_surnames to provide nearly a dozen sources showing the Jewish-connection of these surnames as defining was masterful, and the response that your sources can be ignored because of this undefined trait of definingness is typical of the "we know better, you know nothing" approach that often prevails. People whose clear logical views are rejected often get angry, and that anger can turn into actions that result in blocks and ultimately bans. It sometimes seems that a strategy is used to trigger arguments that can be used at WP:ANI reports to get users blocked. Don't fall into that trap. When your blood starts to boil, take a deep breath and use the power of your arguments based on sources and Misplaced Pages policy to help make the changes you want to see happen take effect. Don't allow yourself to be bullied or intimidated or pushed into a corner and lashing out, all of which accomplishes nothing. CfD needs greater participation from the community as a whole so that the consensus reached there can start to be representative of the views of the community as a whole. Use the power of your persuasive arguments to help make these changes. Feel free to reach me on my talk page or via email if you want to discuss this further. As you say on your user page about CfD, "CHECK AND COMMENT UPON THESE MUCH MORE OFTEN" and do so in productive fashion. Alansohn (talk) 14:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Wassermann, I want you to be aware of a forceful statement I made on User:Epeefleche's page here, in which I put on my administrator hat and advised him to stop painting User:Otto4711 as an anti-Semite. You allege a much vaster conspiracy which didn't specifically target Otto, but I'm concerned about your tone as well. I have commented as such on your ANI discussion. Alansohn, an editor who has leveled rather different negative charges at me and others on CfD, nonetheless is giving you some very good advice in the latter part of his discussion above. If you attack the editor, you also destroy any chance of your argument succeeding. And if you do it by implying an unwarranted and specifically racist conspiracy against certain types of content, you won't have the chance to comment in the future. I hope I'm being clear.--Mike Selinker (talk) 07:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry for not commenting sooner, but I just don't have the time to get too embroiled in all this Wiki-drama/Wiki-bureacracy. But thank you all very much for your kind suggestions, and I'll do my best to keep a cooler head from now on at the CfD boards. I'm just trying to save as much of this valid/factual data from being wiped out as I possibly can, and it often makes me angry that some people seek to completely delete/censor all of this factual data despite its accuracy, relevance, and encyclopedic worthiness. If all of this valid/factual info was good enough for the famous and highly accurate Jewish Encyclopedia of yore, why is it not welcome on Misplaced Pages (which is supposed to be an open repository for ALL HUMAN KNOWLEDGE)? --Wassermann (talk) 12:32, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Wassermann, I too would appreciate it if you could tone down your CfD comments. Deletion of a category is not the equivalent of "censorship", and your repeated claims of the existence of some sort of conspiracy to censor information makes you look kind of loopy, to be frank. Incidently, Misplaced Pages is not an open repository for "all human knowledge"—I think you're thinking of Google's stated goal. Here at Misplaced Pages we are just an encyclopedia, and we routinely delete information that a consensus of editors deem to be "not worthy" for WP or not appropriate for an encyclopedia: "unencyclopedic", as they say.

Proposed deletion of Sonneteer

The article Sonneteer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is a dictionary entry only, and for an "archaic term" at that. It should redirect to Sonnet.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:04, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wassermann. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wassermann~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
