<big>'''Now with 200% ''more'' Jewishness!'''</big><br>
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, ''and'' WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, ].

<big>'''A Special Dispatch'''</big><br>
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly ]) to call someone an anti-semite ''when'' they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a ]. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.<br>
<big>'''In the News'''</big>
*A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project.
*There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see ] to weigh in.
*Thanks largely to the efforts of ], a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: ] to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved.
<big>'''To Do'''</big>
* The ] is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is ] and a more extended list is ]. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: ] and ]. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list)
:* WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Misplaced Pages are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact ].
*WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...
<big>'''New Members'''</big>

*'''Kabbalah:''' None. Won't you ?

*There are some 40 odd standing requests for Judaism related articles. Please make them! I would, but I'm too busy writing this. ].

Hey, I just went and copyedited the summaries in the Season 1 list, as I am hoping to bring that up to FL as well.

Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar.

== Lau Gar ==

Whilst I understand you've edited some of the Lau gar page, I think you've been overly brutal in your edits. If you look at the sources on it compared to others, you'll see that alot of the more esoteric arts are scant on proper published sources - for obvious reasons. Just look at the ] page for example.

Do you have alot of experience in chinese martial arts? as I'm a little confused of your choices in what to remove. The section about the "lau gar" forms in hung gar is a very widely regonised fact, and is also VERY helpful for disambiguity between lau gar in hung gar, and lau gar proper.
also you've left things that now don't make sense as you've removed sections but not changed the preceding paragraph so it reads "There are three different styles of Kung Fu that use the name Lau Gar:" but only two are listed.
You've also removed the link to the newspaper article about Xiao Yong Ding which is an extremely useful source of info - though sadly in chinese... (what is the procedure for foreign language links?)

The list of forms in UK lau gar is quite handy too. Not sure why it's been removed, yes it's an uncited source but then so are the list of forms on other pages.

As for the controvsery section - i feel it IS important. whilst forums might not be reliable, they are useful for commentry. It's quite clear that the lack of evidence for jeremy yau claim has not gone unnoticed. Nor has the similarities between the second form in lau gar (jurn sau) and the first form in wing chun. If you are unhappy with forums, can we at least keep the bey logan comment?

Finally - Perhaps if we can't use forum/youtube links as source (though in the latter, it's quite clear from the comentry that it is Xiao Yong Ding perfomring) we can link them as external links? It seems a shame to not show footage of the art itself.

I didn't "just delete the thing altogether" -- I deleted the part that HAD to be deleted and left a tag so people would know to look for it. You might as well say why does anyone just tag anything when they could do it themselves... There are multiple steps involved in making any improvements, and it's odd to complain when someone doesn't do all of them. In this case that site was listed on a ton of articles and I made the effort to remove it from ''all'' the places it was. That's more than a little effort. Was I supposed to take the effort to redo sources on all the articles for all the topics? If you didn't know about that end of it, that's understandable, but leaving an odd edit comment isn't particularly helpful. ] (]) 21:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

As for Brian Kennedy, his ''Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals'' touches on Tang Hao's work on the ''Yi Jin Jing'' and is widely available. (I've seen it in Barnes & Noble and Borders.)


== Invitation to join the Fifteen Year Society ==
Kennedy seems to publish regularly in ''Classical Fighting Arts'' and has also had several articles published in the ''Journal of Asian Martial Arts''.

Also, the dubious nature of the ''Yi Jin Jing'' was suspected as early as the 18th century by Ling Tingkan (Shahar, p. 168).
