Have a nice day. ArticlesForCreationBot ( talk) 08:06, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 08:08, 8 January 2012 (UTC)Hello,
Thank you for your comment on my talk page. The detailed most important reasons for removal of the photo of Burek shop are:
I do agree with you that it is important to have a picture of Burek shop, but not with too big sign with the name of the shop or tables and chairs. I think that a photo of burek shop showing something more related directly to Burek like showcases with boreks keeping hot or place where a borek is prepared. That is only my opinion based on the above mentioned arguments. If you think I am wrong, feel free to let me know why.
All the best.-- Antidiskriminator ( talk) 11:34, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
excellent work. Soosim ( talk) 09:50, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Atefrat,
I have noticed that you have been re-assessing some highway articles recently, including upgrading many to B-class. Some of these have been changed or reverted by another editor (I assume that he's from WP Highways). I have further reverted some of the assessments, as I believed that they ranked the articles too highly.
While WikiProject Israel doesn't have an assessment scale that's as clearly defined as in WikiProject Military History for example, the guidelines are about the same, namely that B-class articles should be very high quality. Among other things, this includes referencing, which every single article about Israeli highways unfortunately lacks in. You might be interested to know however, that I've added materials sections to talk pages of a bunch of highway articles, with some relevant sources that can be used. C-class can be used more freely, but articles with outstanding tags (especially the unreferenced tag) probably shouldn't be C-class until the issues in the tags are resolved.

Thanks for letting me know about the discussion on eggah -- see my comments there.
As for eggah vs. ajjah, yes, 'ajjah is the standard transliteration of the Arabic, but for whatever reason, the name eggah seems more popular in English. Try the Google search "eggah" "omelette" vs. "ajjah" "omelette", for example. I don't know why, perhaps because it was introduced or popularized by Egyptians in general or Claudia Roden in particular in Europe and North America? But I have added ajjah to the lead. -- Macrakis ( talk) 18:29, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Whether to treat various things together or separately is a difficult judgement call. But I'm afraid I really don't have the time to discuss this now.... -- Macrakis ( talk) 13:52, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Do you have a version of the Israel railway map without the English station names? -- Redaktor ( talk) 06:56, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Atefrat,
I have fixed the formatting problem and corrected the English name (which should have the reserve numerical order, as in Hebrew grammar the first number in a list delimited by dashes is on the right). Cheers, Ynhockey ( Talk) 09:22, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi again,
Thank you for the warm words. I actually didn't remove the source but put it at the bottom of the table—this is a convention, although of course we are free to choose a different convention if it improves the article.
Hey Poliocretes, you reverted my recent edit to Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period. The name in Hebrew, per se, was not what was important to me. I was trying to provide a wikilink for various mentions of "the Third Wall" (HaHoma HaShlishit) in other Wikipedia articles. I ran into a problem when using the hash (#) to link directly to the appropriate second level section in "Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period". Second level sections titled "Urban landscape" are used five times in the "Jerusalem during the Second Temple Period" article. I was trying to link to the fifth use of the subsection, "Urban landscape" under "Roman Prefects, Procurators, and the Destruction of the Temple". I was unsuccessful. My wikilinks kept going to the first subsection labeled "Urban landscape". Apart from telling me to create a new article about "The Third Wall", can you suggest a solution to my linking problem? Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 13:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello Atefrat, it has some similarities and something in common. See my answer in the talk page. Lets help each other to find a summary how to feed the articles and link to each. You are right, I see there's something to do. -- Hans Haase ( talk) 11:02, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Atefrat, I saw you made
this update at
Maccabees, it looks like you removed the Maccabees template and replaced it with an in-article table of the same info, plus dates. Can I ask why it was done that way? It looks like it would make more sense to just update the Maccabees template directly. Appreciate your feedback...

15:46, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Highway 40 (Israel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Elishama
Hi Atefrat, assuming you weren't addressing User:Y ;), the answer is yes, it should be changed if this is what the manual of style says. It is also worth looking at the junction list to see that the kilometer counts go in the right direction. Please let me know if you need additional help.
