Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to ] was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond ] ] 19:36, 17 March 2009

Hi folks I just noticed your comments here and I wanted to respond in my own "defense" to set the record "straight" (good pun, no? ;-})
<!-- EdwardsBot 0550 -->
So here goes: ] 09:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


== Misplaced Pages Takes Brooklyn! Saturday September 7 ==
*If an article deals with same-sex marriage, then as long as the comment/s on a talk page (yet!) deals with that topic it is connected to it, even though it may be phrased in a way that may not always please everyone... because according to the Bible it ''is'' a shame on South Africa and any other place that makes same-sex marriage "legal" since the Bible condemns that kind of behavior. What if a law was passed "allowing" theft, or murder, or adultery? Would that make them "legal" too? This is not about ], this is about understanding why the majority of religious leaders and people are opposed to such things, and that can, must and will be part of articles like this. What can I do, I didn't write the Bible! Honest!
*At no point did I re-insert my comment 3 times into the talk pae within 24 hours, and to say that it violates the 3RR is false. I did it over a few days, so there could not have been any application of the 3RR in this case under any circumstance.
*תועבה can be translated in a few ways, I was using only one from the JPS version. Indeed, I actually prefer one translation given by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan who said that the word means "mistaken act" תוע-בהbut regardless of how it translated into other languages, the Hebrew Bible clearly condemns this act.
*The list of "abominations" in the Bible is long, and homosexuality is most definitely one of the abominations, so we can't argue it away with other comparisons that are not to the point.
*I subsequently expanded the implications of what I had written on the talk page, but it was ''not'' written in "religious" terms, but that addition to the article was deleted because an editor there said it was "all made up".
*At that point, after someone threatened to block me, instead of practicing what they preached and engaging me in a serious dialogue on the issues and not as a distraction about what I was doing, I took the entire matter to Mediation Cabal where it has remained this past week. See ] and ], where you can read the series of events and when they took place. Please feel free to add your comments there as well, I'd love to hear from you.
*Finally, when the dust settles I will go back to work on the article and provide many more quotes and references, so that the article can reflect ''all'' parties views in South Africa, and not just those of the ]-]-dominated government, parliament, and courts. There are always at least two sides to every story, right? That is the essence of NPOV. ] 09:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

You deleted another users comments on the talk page whom you disagreed with. You provdied no explanation in the edit summary, and there was clearly no violation of wikipedia's ettiquette in the users remarks. Whatrsmore, the editors edit history indicated this editor was very new (only making a few edits) so if any action was warranted (and I don't think there was any action warranted) a simple explanation of what the editor had done wrong would have been sufficient.

== Status of Mechitza ==


New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.
Josh, I changed the ] article to say more about ]'s ruling that a Mechitza is required as a matter of ]. Feinstein's perspective is quite remarkable. The idea that there is ] out there that was never identified as such by the rabbis of the Talmud or the Rishonim may prove to be as capable of supporting radical innovation as it is of supporting existing viewpoints. I altered the definition of ] in the intro of that article (which had claimed that Oral law consists of things not in the written Torah but in the Mishnah and Talmud) to accommodate this concept of a late identification of Sinaitic law. I suspect other articles may need changes to accommodate it as well. There can certainly be an argument made against Feinstein's perspective, and also an argument that it doesn't apply to e.g. Torah reading, but it has had great influence. I would think that any contemporary discussion about whether a Mechitza is or isn't halakhic in origin or application would have to lay the viewpoint out and wrestle with it.

your edit to WIAJ was good, but now, in reading that third section, I have to wonder if that entire para is phrased right at all. It opens with the idea of how to ID jews who've walked or converted AWAY from the faith. However, it seems to end, again, with the Haredi assertion that only converts TO judaism who 'count' are those living orthodoxly.

Does anyone know what kind of "rabbi" and Torah scholar ] was (Orthodox, Reform, none-of-the-above, all-of-the above?)

Hi JoshuaZ: On 25 October 2006 , ] moved ] to ] with the lame excuse "moved Messianic religious practices to Messianic Halakha: As discussed in prior archives, with the creation of the new Messianic Judaism template, this page can now be targeted for clean up: This entire page is better split into two articles" thus opening up a whole new can of worms. This fits into this new pattern of vigorous pro-Messianic Judaism POV edits, moves, categories, projects and articles, basically without warning and ignoring the consensus that has been maintained for some time. '''The main problem is that the over-all thrust of the recent pro-Messianic Judaism activity is to mimic and and get as close as possible to any and all Judaism, particularly Orthodox Judaism, articles and efforts, so that anyone looking at the one will arrive at the other by sheer proximity and similarity'''. And I repeat this again, because of its relevance: *] (), self-described as "A mystery user with a point to be made" (wouldn't that make ''anything'' he does as automatically ]?), has added a number of features to ]. A month ago he evidently plagiarized the ] and created ] based on it. He also created ] also obviously plagiarizing the ] page. This may mislead unsuspecting readers and there ought to be some warning or guidance about this. I would suggest that a new template be develpoed that would be placed on Messianic Judaism pages with a "'''Note: This article deals with ]. It does not represent normative ] and does not have any connection with, or official recognition from, any ].'''" ] 03:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I see that you appear to not appreciate my preference to encourage inclusion of all valid and cited schools. I may be much more alone in this preference than I suppose. I guess I find it sad that underfunded schools that just get by, but do play important roles in their communities are not currently considered valid for wikipedia. Maybe that will change someday, as things have over the past few years here in wikipedia. I have read your comments to this end regarding statements made in 2003 by Jimmy Wales. Regardless...keep up your hard work...Best, ] 05:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
: It isn't an issue of valid, it is an issue of notable. There are all sorts of things in this world which should get recognition. There are people who come from rich countries and go risk their lives helping give out food in medicine in war torn countries. They should be honored and acknowledged. But that is not Misplaced Pages's job. Misplaced Pages is trying to be an encyclopedia. Similarly, I would agree that many underfunded schools do just get by and play important roles in their communities and that should be recgonized. But Misplaced Pages's job is not to recognize them. Not everything that is good or should be done should be done by Misplaced Pages. ] 06:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::"Not everything that is good or should be done should be done by Misplaced Pages." I ask you...why not? What harm is including all verifiable schools? Does it take up too much memory? I am not sure the rationale behind the passion to delete. Maybe if I understood better, I would join the forces of deletion. I dunno. -] 06:13, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::: Well, I'm generally in favor of the merger of such articles. But there are in general a variety of issues- 1) maintenance. School articles are some of the most heavility vandalized and recieving the most ] complaints and having many little school articles just exacerbates such problems. 2) General notability. One reason Misplaced Pages has even the tiny bit of credibility we have is because we have standards of inclusion which don't let random data get thrown in even if its verifiable (see for example, ],] and ]. 3) ] and many of these school articles end up not being any more than directories. To me at least these are the main reasons for reduction of school articles. ] 06:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::::Thank you for the detailed and respectful responses. Best, ] 06:36, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
::::: You are welcome. I think there are about 5 other reaons that also argue for deletion but I don't think of them as highly (I'd discuss them now but right now I require sleep and will be more than happy if you want to discuss them at a later date). ] 06:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Striver got an admin to undelete the two pictures. No actual discussion of the matter took place. You may want to talk to the admin and/or Striver.

Kip Kinkel

Hello Joshua Z, this is Marksdaman. The reason I redirected Kip Kinkel to Thurston High School shooting was because the article on the shooting gives information on the shooting and the background of Kip Kinkel, I just didn't think you'd need two pages about the shooting. Thats why I think we should leave the Kip Kinkel article redirect to the Thurston High School shooting. Thank you, and please respond Marksdaman My talk 19:36, 17 March 2009
