Geonim

Sorry about the tardiness in response; will look at article during my tomorrow :) Fintor 21:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC) talk

Category:Hebrew Bible verses

Hello Jay: See the verses in Category:Hebrew Bible verses with the two samples so far: Genesis 1:1, and Genesis 1:2. Is this the way the Torah verses should be "presented"? (Compare with the verses in Category:New Testament verses.) At what point should the classical teachings of famous meforshim be inserted, and in what way and how much? The time to decide on this is now, because at this stage the "project" is still being "formed" by User:Neutrality alone. Thank you. IZAK 02:52, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

RFAr against User:KaintheScion and associated socks

Since KaintheScion has not changed his abusive behavior and has created another sockpuppet (User:Enviroknot), I have now requested arbitration against him. Firebug 16:50, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

User:Zivinbudas

I've now officially requested an Arbitration against Zivinbudas. As one of the people who were involved in previous attempts at compromise with him, you might be interested in the case. Also, feel free to list yourself as one of the parties involved here. Halibutt 04:05, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

Cedar Revolution/Yuber

Hi Jayig! Thank you for drawing my attention to Yuber's activities. I fully agree with your stand on Yuber's edits, laced as they are with none-too-subtle POV. I have reverted his edit to your last version. Now that you've alerted me, I'll check this article for vandalism every time I log on. Yuber seems to have an understanding of NPOV that is very different from the one with which most of us are familiar. David Cannon 00:49, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Banu Qurayza

Hi, I received this request: "Banu Qurayza I'd be interested in your thoughts, and if you have time, your help in editing.Briangotts 02:34, 31 May 2005 (UTC)" Are you able to take a look at it, it's also being "disputed". Thanks. IZAK 03:34, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism

198.188.249.12 (talk · contribs) should be blocked quickly. He's on a vandalism spree. -Anonymous 21:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

your revert on Talk:Karaite_Judaism

I noticed the anon's deletion of that section yesterday, and didn't bother to revert it because I figured out what was going on by looking at his/her other edits. It apparently is the same person who wrote the original text, and who wrote the Qaryanism and Qaryanic stuff (read "rubbish"), who later admitted that it had all been essentially his/her own flight of fancy. Personally, I don't see that the talk page is hurt by its deletion, nor do I see that its staying there helps anything, especially not without an accompanying explanation of why my having put it there elicited no response (there), nor any discussion of why it wasn't reincorporated into the article.

Nicolas Sarkozy

You may remember that I cautioned you against concluding that Nicolas Sarkozy's mother (and, him, therefore) was a Jew on the basis that she was of "Greek-Jewish origins"? It turns out that his mother's father was a Greek Jew converted to Catholicism, and her mother was a Catholic. It follows that, according to Jewish law, N.S. is not a Jew.

Just to let you know about that and invite you to exerce caution. David.Monniaux 20:57, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Actually no, that is not me on the mailing list. Would you like to apologize? What exactly is your problem with me, anyway? Everyking 05:29, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Apartheid article

Sorry for the late reply, I was away. I've left a message to counter Anon's latest claims, but I doubt it will do much good. None of those like him can ever really see the logical flaws in their arguments. Impi 17:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gaza Strip, et al

You main objection to anon's posting of his pictures appears to be "self-promotion". I think linking the pics adds as much to the Gaza article as any of the other external links. What if *I* add the links? Would it then still be self-promotion? I ask this with a grin, of course, as the situation there has become rediculous. I'm somewhat tempted to wait until anon's been gone several months and renew the discussion without him, as he's not helping the situation. --Chiacomo 20:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As I said before, when visiting his collection of photographs, I can't find an option to actually buy anything. His email address is there, of course... His POV in the article edits is evident, but the photographs themselves, the captions, and the commentary accompanying them don't appear to have blatant POV problems -- or at least no more than other similar links. I too have doubts whether ANY photographs should be linked from the article, but if there will be links to photos, his collection is just as valid as the others. --Chiacomo 20:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
