Noah Weinberg

Hi, I read the article on Apologism and also saw the page Jewish polemics and apologetics in the Middle Ages, and I honestly don't see how Noah Weinberg applies to Category:Jewish apologists. Weinberg was a kiruv professional who founded a movement for kiruv rechokim; he didn't write texts to "defend faith against critics and recommend faith to outsiders". Yoninah (talk) 19:22, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the additional information on my talk page. I still believe that it's inappropriate to put modern-day Jewish kiruv professionals into a category that applies more to the Middle Ages (e.g. the Kuzari). Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:14, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Comparison of content-control software and providers

I left you a note at Talk:Comparison of content-control software and providers#I have replaced the content of another page with a redirect to this comparison. Please reply there, and definitely not here. All the best. —Unforgettableid (talk) 07:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Where to reply

(Sorry for taking so long to reply, I originally replied on the talk page where you left me the message. I'm a bit confused about how communications/notifications are supposed to work here. For example, when should I post/reply on the article talk page and when to do so on the individual's talk page. Is there a page that discusses this?)Yaakovaryeh (talk) 04:09, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

You were correct to reply on the article's talk page. If I ignored your reply, you could put a {{talkback}} template on my user talk page. Twinkle's "TB" tool makes it easy to add {{talkback}} templates; or you can do it manually. Kol tuv, —Unforgettableid (talk) 21:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:List of Islamist terrorist attacks, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. 220 of 05:16, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

220 of Borg Sorry about that, I know about that, but I often forget to do it.Is there a reason that wikipedia is not set up so that comments are signed automatically by default?
Yaakovaryeh (talk) 07:25, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Above signature moved right for 'clarity'. 220 of 08:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Not that I know of, but the MediaWiki software may not differentiate between talk pages and article pages. If that were done, then every time you saved an edit to an article it would also put your signature among the text! Some editors still manage to do that.
• Usually new editors get a message from a BOT, if you forget to sign. You could use the Show preview button so you can see what the page will look like before you save it?
  Note that I have moved your sig to right after your message. Otherwise it appears over on the left margin. (like this)

220 of 08:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC) (Over here, is not where your sig should be!)

You can put indents before it, or use a <br /> line break to put it on the next line, like I have done for you. Or just don't hit enter before signing! 220 of 08:18, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Opportunity for collaboration

Dear Yaakov Aryeh,

This is Yaakov W. I am reaching out to you for purpose of collaborating together on Messiah in Judaism page. The fact that someone linked us together is I believe 100% Hashgacha Protis!

In regards to your point where you advised starting small, I believe in the Chabad approach of L'Chatchila Ariber. As you can see from the posts, much headway has already been made. In regards to second point about wikipedia being primarily secular, this is correct. However, they want to know what the Jewish view of the Messiah is. And we have the opportunity to accurately express the Jewish viewpoint on Moshiach. I believe you have a lot of experience with wikipedia and we will make an effective team.

Blessings,

Yaakov W

I noticed this because of your post at Doug Weller's page. My intervention is not to replace his, although I wanted to suggest asking for temporary semi-protection at WP:RFPP if disruption by those multiple AT&T addresses persist. —PaleoNeonate – 01:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

July 2021

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Book of Lamentations. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Bettering the Wiki (talk) 00:09, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

@Goodone121: Thank you so much for your constructive criticism and following WP:GOODFAITH. Unfortunately, I haven't the faintest idea as to what you're talking about, as you appear to have forgotten to mention what was "disruptive" about my edit. If I may be so WP:BOLD as to ask what merited this accusation, I would greatly appreciate your sage wise counsel so that I may avoid such disruption in the future. I'm further confused by your accusations regarding being in a "dispute" being that I have never edited that article before (and no one seems to have had an issue with my edit besides you). Thank you so much, and have a good one.

P.S. Thank you for your "warning" about being banned. I see you have some experience with that, so I thank you for sparing me the same fate. (I almost mistook your warning for a threat, before I realized that you're not an admin and have no authority to be making such threats, so surely it must be a good faith warning.)

P.S.S. Your usage of the sig "Bettering the Wiki" is confusing (among other things). At first I thought I must be mistaken about this until I noticed that the same point was made on your talk page by a number of other Wikipedians, including DGG - an actual admin with actual authority.Yaakovaryeh (talk) 05:33, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Delphic maxims

Hi – regarding this edit, the article on Know thyself is currently in very bad shape. I've been trying to get around to working on it. You'll notice that it doesn't give a source for its English translation of the third maxim, only citing Plato. However, there's some information at Delphic maxims#Third maxim about the different possible meanings of it; "give a pledge" is ambiguous enough to encompass all of them.

The Wilkins source may be a hundred years old, but she is still considered an (or rather, the) authority on the subject; Google Scholar finds 35 citations of Delphic Maxims in Literature, the majority of them recent. The sources you added are written by philosophers rather than Greek language experts, and since they don't cite any sources themselves, I think it's safe to assume that they took their translations from Wilkins, directly or indirectly. I don't see any benefit to supplementing Wilkins with these other sources, and it has potential to confuse the reader about where the information comes from. Let me know what you think. Thanks. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 06:01, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sojourner in the earth:Thanks. You probably have more experience & expertise in this field, so I guess I would defer to your judgement. I would just say as a non-expert, whenever I see an old source, I always wonder whether the information may be out of date (especially if I'm seeing conflicting information elsewhere). While you and others in this field may know that Wilkins is the authority on the subject, a reader such as myself just sees a really old source and wonders if it is still accurate. Seeing that reliable contemporary sources (published by a university press) still use that translation, assures readers that this translation is still considered authoritative. So I generally like to supplement (tho not replace) older sources with newer sources to confirm that the information is still accurate. Yaakovaryeh (talk) 22:01, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I understand where you're coming from. My concern in this case is that people often try to replace these translations with their own preferred version, and strong sourcing is needed to combat this. The addition of multiple sources can actually make the content appear less well supported (see WP:Overcite), and might give the impression that anyone seeking to replace the translation need only supply more sources, rather than better sources. This is a hypothetical concern at the moment though, so I won't argue the point; we can revisit in the future if it turns out to be a problem. Thanks for your work on the article in any case.
