Hello,
Have you guys considered redirecting users from "Paul Revere" to "Israel Bissell" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Bissell)? Or, more pragmatically, at least to include mention of him in the Revere article? In HBO's "Assume the Position," Robert Wuhl claims that Paul Revere only went 19 miles from Boston to Cambridge, and that "the only person he could have warned was the dean of Harvard." Don't know if that can be confirmed, but it seems worth noting.
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of this site!

Hello, thank you for your interest in the edits I made on Paul Revere. While I realize my removal of the unreferenced information was a bold edit, I feel strongly about keeping controversial articles clean of material that is not properly cited. This is not something I feel a need to keep repeating into any form of edit warring but I felt you deserved notification that I have removed some of the material again. As I have adopted this page now, I will be furthering it with more information and reliable sources. I was directed to this page from a political debate I was reading on another site and it was clear that people were using Wikipedia as a baseball bat or battering ram with unreferenced material that I decided to challenge as I read the article. While much of the information may well be accurate, too much was unreferenced. My intent is not to simply remove but to continue editing with source material as i find it. I am in no particular hurry and I would hope you are not as well. Please feel free to add any input you may have for me at my talk page.

Hey Hertz,
I saw your reversion of User:MZMcBride's template changes to the top of Talk:Paul Revere. While I'm not going to revert I would urge you to think about the other side. His change is the perfect example of ignoring rules that make it impossible to do the better thing for the specific case and the project as a whole. We have a lot of new users going to that page and a load of template that, as you admit, aren't very welcoming. By hiding them MZM has actually found a very nice way to keep the functionality (which is almost only for experienced users and just confusing for new users) while providing a more welcoming message for the high level of new users.

Hi Hertz. I thought I would inform you that Magnagr is again adding extreme POV edits and very pro-Marconi bias on the topic of Radio. As of August 6, he has added the same 5 edits to the article Guglielmo Marconi which last month were seen on the article Radio. I am wondering how we should go about addressing this reoccurring issue that Magnagr insists on pursuing. It seems every week or two, he cuts and pastes the exact same POV material and re-posts it.

I hope you are still keeping an eye on the Hebron article. Now that I'm back I'd like to give it a thorough reworking. I see the article as basically about 4000 years of history, with due regard for modernity, but that it shouldn't suffer from recentism, with a proliferation of newspaper reports on incidents, or politics. I.e. I'd personally like to see the recent history as cut back to just some general points, settlement, a generic note on the violence on both sides, the Oslo accords, and shift the incidental stuff, mainly the result of POV warring to 'achieve balance', over to that other article on the Arab-Israeli conflict in Hebron. I know this second article leaves much to be desired, and needs a clean up as well. But sub specie aeternitatis my feeling is one can't allow, however bitter relations are in these places, for a general overall view of the history of a town to be smutched by newspaper accounts of overly specific incidents. To do this, however, is 'tricky' and I trust your judgement, a very fair and precise one over the years, with more depth than mine there, to give advice on this. Any counsel would be most welcome.

I noticed your revert on the Madison page. The particular paragraph was either vandalism or not notable, or in other ways crap, so I approve of the overall deletion, but I disagree on the stated motive. Youtube can certainly be a proper citation for documentation of a historical fact (if the video shows the fact happening), or if produced by a notable source (news broadcast = newspaper etc). If its a random guy's video blog though, then that obviously is a much weaker case. See : Wikipedia:Video_links and Template:Cite_video Gaijin42 ( talk) 15:30, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I edited the Jordan River article, adding that the Jordan river is the only river in Israel. You reverted this edit, saying it isn't so because of the Yarkon River. However, the Yarkon is not a river, but rather a creek (hence its Hebrew name, Nahal Hayarkon, as Nahal means creek in Hebrew). I suggest we re-place my edit, and change the article for Yarkon accordingly.
Hello. You reverted my edit with the comment: "Existing wording stable long-term outcome of numerous discussions; unilateral change unwarranted." While the current wording may have been stable for a long time, that's because the long discussions which have taken place to try to find a more neutral wording (one which doesn't represent one viewpoint as correct or factual) have all been run into the ground. As the the archives show, the current wording is unacceptable to many editors besides me. The current wording isn't the result of agreement, but of stonewalling. What is objectionable in my edit? It's chief effect is to replace the statement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, which is a statement of opinion not fact (reliable sources argue the point), with the statement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel under Israeli law, which is undisputed. ← ZScarpia 17:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

... About how I had made stylistic errors, which you undid and then I put them all back, etc. Somehow your corrections coincided with the disappearance of about 3 hours work on that article(!!), so I was not in a particularly good mood when I tried to recreate what had disappeared. I see that you went back and re-corrected my punctuation errors (without any data being lost), and I am very appreciative. I might add that the Hebrew typing feature, although very clever, seems unforgiving of typos and is very vexing about some mixes of the Hebrew lettering and modern punctuation or other (non-Hebrew) characters.

Hello Hertz1888. As a new participant here at Wikipedia and someone with, it seems, some shared interests, I admire your experience and appreciate your contributions. So I bring this up, and offer a suggestion, respectfully.
For those just starting out, Wikipedia can be intimidating. A few accompanying comments you made to edits on the Davis Square article ("We certainly don't need two images of the same genre or a disruptive layout" and "Unconstructive") have an unnecessarily hectoring and dismissive tone. This doesn't serve to foster the collaborative effort that makes Wikipedia work. Good faith efforts by contributors should be welcomed even as they continue to be refined.
Your edits did improve the article... so, thank you.-- Vistawhite ( talk) 16:30, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear Hertz1888,
We are a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and AU Sharjah, researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Wikipedia. We are interested in your experiences of editing Wikipedia and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to.
First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Wikipedia in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Wikipedia, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Wikipedia and Wikipedia articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions.
Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in Cairo from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together.
We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions.
More details can be found by expanding our “Frequently Asked Questions” below.
We would be delighted to welcome you to either (or both) event. Please let us know (wikiproject@oii.ox.ac.uk) if you would like the opportunity to participate and we can send you more details.

Jerusalem itself is at an altitude of 750 m, so I don't think 790 m is so impossible if one is measuring elevation at the top of the gate and not its base. However, I have to agree the source I used was not the best Koakhtzvigad ( talk) 06:18, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Hertz1888, I think you would be a positive addition to Wikiproject: United States Public Policy, and I was hoping you would be interested in assessing articles with the Public Policy Initiative. There is more info about assessment on the 9/13/2010 Signpost. If you're interested or just curious you can sign up on the project page or just contact me. Thanks!

Hello,
Have you guys considered redirecting users from "Paul Revere" to "Israel Bissell" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Bissell)? Or, more pragmatically, at least to include mention of him in the Revere article? In HBO's "Assume the Position," Robert Wuhl claims that Paul Revere only went 19 miles from Boston to Cambridge, and that "the only person he could have warned was the dean of Harvard." Don't know if that can be confirmed, but it seems worth noting.
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of this site!

Hello, thank you for your interest in the edits I made on Paul Revere. While I realize my removal of the unreferenced information was a bold edit, I feel strongly about keeping controversial articles clean of material that is not properly cited. This is not something I feel a need to keep repeating into any form of edit warring but I felt you deserved notification that I have removed some of the material again. As I have adopted this page now, I will be furthering it with more information and reliable sources. I was directed to this page from a political debate I was reading on another site and it was clear that people were using Wikipedia as a baseball bat or battering ram with unreferenced material that I decided to challenge as I read the article. While much of the information may well be accurate, too much was unreferenced. My intent is not to simply remove but to continue editing with source material as i find it. I am in no particular hurry and I would hope you are not as well. Please feel free to add any input you may have for me at my talk page.

Hey Hertz,
I saw your reversion of User:MZMcBride's template changes to the top of Talk:Paul Revere. While I'm not going to revert I would urge you to think about the other side. His change is the perfect example of ignoring rules that make it impossible to do the better thing for the specific case and the project as a whole. We have a lot of new users going to that page and a load of template that, as you admit, aren't very welcoming. By hiding them MZM has actually found a very nice way to keep the functionality (which is almost only for experienced users and just confusing for new users) while providing a more welcoming message for the high level of new users.

Hi Hertz. I thought I would inform you that Magnagr is again adding extreme POV edits and very pro-Marconi bias on the topic of Radio. As of August 6, he has added the same 5 edits to the article Guglielmo Marconi which last month were seen on the article Radio. I am wondering how we should go about addressing this reoccurring issue that Magnagr insists on pursuing. It seems every week or two, he cuts and pastes the exact same POV material and re-posts it. I await for your response. Yoganate79 ( talk) 19:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I hope you are still keeping an eye on the Hebron article. Now that I'm back I'd like to give it a thorough reworking. I see the article as basically about 4000 years of history, with due regard for modernity, but that it shouldn't suffer from recentism, with a proliferation of newspaper reports on incidents, or politics. I.e. I'd personally like to see the recent history as cut back to just some general points, settlement, a generic note on the violence on both sides, the Oslo accords, and shift the incidental stuff, mainly the result of POV warring to 'achieve balance', over to that other article on the Arab-Israeli conflict in Hebron. I know this second article leaves much to be desired, and needs a clean up as well. But sub specie aeternitatis my feeling is one can't allow, however bitter relations are in these places, for a general overall view of the history of a town to be smutched by newspaper accounts of overly specific incidents. To do this, however, is 'tricky' and I trust your judgement, a very fair and precise one over the years, with more depth than mine there, to give advice on this. Any counsel would be most welcome.

I noticed your revert on the Madison page. The particular paragraph was either vandalism or not notable, or in other ways crap, so I approve of the overall deletion, but I disagree on the stated motive. Youtube can certainly be a proper citation for documentation of a historical fact (if the video shows the fact happening), or if produced by a notable source (news broadcast = newspaper etc). If its a random guy's video blog though, then that obviously is a much weaker case. See : Wikipedia:Video_links and Template:Cite_video Gaijin42 ( talk) 15:30, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello! I edited the Jordan River article, adding that the Jordan river is the only river in Israel. You reverted this edit, saying it isn't so because of the Yarkon River. However, the Yarkon is not a river, but rather a creek (hence its Hebrew name, Nahal Hayarkon, as Nahal means creek in Hebrew). I suggest we re-place my edit, and change the article for Yarkon accordingly.
Hello. You reverted my edit with the comment: "Existing wording stable long-term outcome of numerous discussions; unilateral change unwarranted." While the current wording may have been stable for a long time, that's because the long discussions which have taken place to try to find a more neutral wording (one which doesn't represent one viewpoint as correct or factual) have all been run into the ground. As the the archives show, the current wording is unacceptable to many editors besides me. The current wording isn't the result of agreement, but of stonewalling. What is objectionable in my edit? It's chief effect is to replace the statement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, which is a statement of opinion not fact (reliable sources argue the point), with the statement that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel under Israeli law, which is undisputed. ← ZScarpia 17:24, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Falafel". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by August 8, 2011.

Hello,
I have been editing the Somerville Community Path Wiki page as part of an assignment for one of my college courses. I have extensively researched the path and met with a member of the Friends of the Community Path group, and I believe that the information that I've published is quite accurate. I have also tried to include references and links in accordance to the Wikipedia standards, and to incorporate the relevant information from the original entry. I also added my own pictures that I took on the path a few weeks ago.

... About how I had made stylistic errors, which you undid and then I put them all back, etc. Somehow your corrections coincided with the disappearance of about 3 hours work on that article(!!), so I was not in a particularly good mood when I tried to recreate what had disappeared. I see that you went back and re-corrected my punctuation errors (without any data being lost), and I am very appreciative. I might add that the Hebrew typing feature, although very clever, seems unforgiving of typos and is very vexing about some mixes of the Hebrew lettering and modern punctuation or other (non-Hebrew) characters. Notwithstanding my stylistic bad form, I spent a lot of energy on expanding that article. Sussmanbern ( talk) 04:58, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Several revisions I have made to all three articles have been removed and had to be "remade". I have no knowledge of how your software works and I am certainly NOT accusing you of any vandalism. I am just wondering if one program could inadvertently interfere with another.

Hello Hertz1888. As a new participant here at Wikipedia and someone with, it seems, some shared interests, I admire your experience and appreciate your contributions. So I bring this up, and offer a suggestion, respectfully.
For those just starting out, Wikipedia can be intimidating. A few accompanying comments you made to edits on the Davis Square article ("We certainly don't need two images of the same genre or a disruptive layout" and "Unconstructive") have an unnecessarily hectoring and dismissive tone. This doesn't serve to foster the collaborative effort that makes Wikipedia work. Good faith efforts by contributors should be welcomed even as they continue to be refined.
Your edits did improve the article... so, thank you.-- Vistawhite ( talk) 16:30, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Dear Hertz1888,
We are a team of researchers at the University of Oxford and AU Sharjah, researching the experiences of editors of content about the Arab world on Wikipedia. We are interested in your experiences of editing Wikipedia and are organising two events that we think you would be an excellent contributor to.
First, we are hosting an online wiki focus group about contributing to Wikipedia in Arabic and to articles about the Middle East and North Africa. We are interested in what barriers you perceive to exist in Wikipedia, how articles can be made better and generally what can be done to expand and improve Arabic Wikipedia and Wikipedia articles about the Arab world. This discussion will take place on a MediaWiki hosted at our institution and be available in English and Arabic. We will allow users to create their own discussion pages in addition to our discussions.
Second, we are hosting face-to-face workshops in Cairo from 21st-22nd October 2012. If you are interested in this we should be able to pay travel and accommodation costs for up to twenty participants. This workshop will cover similar themes to the online discussion but will allow participants to meet one another and benefit from being together.
We will take care of the organization and planning and all you have to do is show up and be ready to discuss. But if you would like to help shape some of the discussion themes in advance, please let us know. We have booked time in the workshops for Wikipedian-led discussions.
More details can be found by expanding our “Frequently Asked Questions” below.
We would be delighted to welcome you to either (or both) event. Please let us know (wikiproject@oii.ox.ac.uk) if you would like the opportunity to participate and we can send you more details.
Sincerely,
Mark, Bernie, Ilhem, Ali, Ahmed, and Heather
