Hi IZAK. User:PiCo and I are having a bit of a dispute in The Exodus. Much of it has been discussed on the talk page under "Dead Reckoning".

Thanks for uploading Image:Nixon_Eisenhower_nominated_1952.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 17:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I see that you were the nominator in the recent AfD on the article Christianity and Judaism. That AfD recommended (in a snowball result) that the article be merged into Judeo-Christian. However, since the AfD concerns have been raised, most notably
Having contacted the closing admin, his advice was to open a new discussion at Talk:Christianity and Judaism, advertise the discussion widely, and if a new consensus can be reached in that discussion [his emphasis], then per WP:CCC the new consensus should be followed, rather than the AfD decision, without the need for a DRV or a new AfD.
Concerns about the proposed merge have also been expressed by Slrubenstein ( talk · contribs), LisaLiel ( talk · contribs) and SkyWriter ( talk · contribs).
This post is therefore to let you know that that discussion is underway, at Talk:Christianity and Judaism#Overly speedy deletion, with a view to perhaps setting aside the AfD decision.
Of course, some significant issues were raised in the AfD about the article in its present form, so the best way forward is a question that needs some thought. Please feel welcome to come and participate! Jheald ( talk) 07:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Izak, I would like to wish you and yours a joyous Sukkos. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the advice you gave me in January regarding making several short visits before making the big move. I did so and it's helped me to understand what I'm doing better. I have one more test to take before I can practice in NYC, it's scheduled for the day after Simchas Torah — so I should be down there very soon. Thank you again for your help! — Elipongo ( Talk contribs) 14:33, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Regarding my credentials, I have PhD in Religious Studies and I have studied this particular topic extensively before submitting my nomination. For such a lauded and prominent figure as you claim he is, it is odd that in the one year of the articles existence, not one reliable reference has been added, and the only so-called reliable material that exists is from Yeshiva websites of highly questionable reliability, which themselves are not sourced, and most likely someones opinion. Perhaps religious Jews and followers of the Rabbi, or people with a bias towards Judaic topics consider Aish HaTorah a reliable, independent source for an encyclopedia, but I find that to be dubious. Your thoughts are welcome, but I completely disagree that this is a notable figure suitable for an encyclopedia. This is the reason I nominated the article for deletion. If you and other supporters of the Rabbi disagree, so be it. That's what the debate is for.
Please remember to
assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on
Yaakov Weinberg. Thank you

Regardless, no matter how much you may like a topic and admire a figure, it doesn't mean you should make personal attacks as you have on me here. Need I remind you of Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks?
You should also understand a very basic fact: I simply don't agree with you. Perhaps it's because you feel so passionately about Judaism that you fail to see that I am allowed to have an opinion contrary to yours, even if you think you are really, really right and just in your quest to protect this article, seemingly at any cost. And this fact holds true even if my opinion doesn't mesh with yours AND 5 or 6 supporters who may be biased toward a topic. Should I just say I suddenly agree with you because you personally attack me, use bold font or cryptically say "it would be wise" to do so? Personally attacks and attempting to bully me doesn't make this figure notable and it also doesn't negate Wikipedia guidelines.
I'm not withdrawing the nomination because I don't feel it is a notable topic, based on the stated criteria for notability on Wikipedia. Your deep emotions aside, this topic has NOT received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it does not warrant inclusion for a stand-alone article according to my interpretation of the Wikipedia guidelines.
The lofty claims you make about mysterious sources that can't be found anywhere online, are not sources at all, it's what's called original research and unsubstantiated claims. If another non-Judaic article on Wikipedia made claims like "he was interviewed by this newspaper" or "he was a great man in this organization" without one single reliable and verifiable source, would you be of the same opinion? And if so, then what's the point of having a guideline if anyone can claim anything about anyone with the only support being a handful of users potentially sympathetic to the person in question and very weak unsourced online information?
Perhaps in Yeshiva you can't question unreliable sources, but I think on Wikipedia it must be done with a clear head and without emotions. You can't just write or claim anything you like (or skirt what is clearly written in the notability guidelines) and have a temper tantrum and launch personal attacks when someone questions that.
Finally, putting things in bold and personal attacks on me will not make me agree with you (though actual reliable, independent sources of your claims could). Sorry. And for the record I will not become hostile and confrontational as you have, even in the face of your abuse.
Please see Wikipedia's
no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to
blocks for disruption. Please
stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Hey. As I was the nominator, perhaps it would be less uncouth if you merge this into sukkah. I was really hoping for a response from User:Xyz to my last multifaceted point, but I suppose I won't get one. As I stated, there really isn't much in the article that would get merged, other than a mention of "sukkah hopping" as an as-of-yet loosely defined (or rather, quite undefined) "phenomenon" -- and that would be it. Have a good Shabbos!
Ah...and that was a great rejoinder you had in the discussion over at Yakov Weinberg. DRosenbach ( Talk | Contribs) 01:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Unless someone likes to read HTML, there is really nothing redundant about doing what I've done. I find it neater to have someone's title included in the link, but I suppose it's personal preference and a matter of opinion. Whether or not Wikipedia policy or convention is one way or another is merely a function of conventionalizing one esthetic or another. DRosenbach ( Talk | Contribs) 13:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Edmund Allenby.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Any idea where it came from, or how old it is? The copyright-patrol people seem to be after it. I'll try writing fair use rationales for all uses, but it seems silly if you can establish that it's PD-old, or if we can find one that is. -- Zsero ( talk) 06:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (
CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

A tag has been placed on File:Gen Eisenhower at death camp report.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Gen Eisenhower at death camp report.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi IZAK; thx for commenting in the CfD. I responded and asked you a question of opinion on the category's appropriate application; if you could respond to it in the discussion I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the matter. I hope you're well, as I haven't seen you around much. (Thanks also for responding to the nomination in the same spirit it was presented.

Hi IZAK, This editor is adding categories to alot of bios. You seem to have been involved with "Jewish" categories and there deletion. Is there a standard or policy or way this should be treated? My gripe is more about whether the category is sourceable and if the person's ethnicity or religion has already been covered in the bio. This editor claims no malice but I did notice a POV edit in the Larry Page article that does raise a flag. Also, which board would you bring this too?

Greetings! I've been conducting interviews for the Signpost's WikiProject Reports lately. My most recent report was on WP:ISLAM, and I really liked the way it turned out. I'd like to continue my coverage of the major religions with either WP:JUDAISM or WP:CHRISTIANITY. I contacted someone from Christianity a few days ago, but I haven't gotten a response yet. So, I extend the invitation to you. Would you like to be interviewed for the Signpost? If you're interested, just drop a "yes" either here or on my talk page, and I'll walk you through the rest. If not, would you mind recommending someone else from the project who might be interested? Thanks! -- Cryptic C62 · Talk 04:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Your thoughts are welcome, but I completely disagree that this is a notable figure suitable for an encyclopedia. This is the reason I nominated the article for deletion. If you and other supporters of the Rabbi disagree, so be it. That's what the debate is for.
Please remember to
assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on
Yaakov Weinberg. Thank you

Regardless, no matter how much you may like a topic and admire a figure, it doesn't mean you should make personal attacks as you have on me here. Need I remind you of Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks?
You should also understand a very basic fact: I simply don't agree with you. Perhaps it's because you feel so passionately about Judaism that you fail to see that I am allowed to have an opinion contrary to yours, even if you think you are really, really right and just in your quest to protect this article, seemingly at any cost. And this fact holds true even if my opinion doesn't mesh with yours AND 5 or 6 supporters who may be biased toward a topic. Should I just say I suddenly agree with you because you personally attack me, use bold font or cryptically say "it would be wise" to do so? Personally attacks and attempting to bully me doesn't make this figure notable and it also doesn't negate Wikipedia guidelines.
I'm not withdrawing the nomination because I don't feel it is a notable topic, based on the stated criteria for notability on Wikipedia. Your deep emotions aside, this topic has NOT received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it does not warrant inclusion for a stand-alone article according to my interpretation of the Wikipedia guidelines.
The lofty claims you make about mysterious sources that can't be found anywhere online, are not sources at all, it's what's called original research and unsubstantiated claims. If another non-Judaic article on Wikipedia made claims like "he was interviewed by this newspaper" or "he was a great man in this organization" without one single reliable and verifiable source, would you be of the same opinion? And if so, then what's the point of having a guideline if anyone can claim anything about anyone with the only support being a handful of users potentially sympathetic to the person in question and very weak unsourced online information?
Perhaps in Yeshiva you can't question unreliable sources, but I think on Wikipedia it must be done with a clear head and without emotions. You can't just write or claim anything you like (or skirt what is clearly written in the notability guidelines) and have a temper tantrum and launch personal attacks when someone questions that.
Finally, putting things in bold and personal attacks on me will not make me agree with you (though actual reliable, independent sources of your claims could). Sorry. And for the record I will not become hostile and confrontational as you have, even in the face of your abuse.
Please see Wikipedia's
no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to
blocks for disruption. Please
stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Hey. As I was the nominator, perhaps it would be less uncouth if you merge this into sukkah. I was really hoping for a response from User:Xyz to my last multifaceted point, but I suppose I won't get one. As I stated, there really isn't much in the article that would get merged, other than a mention of "sukkah hopping" as an as-of-yet loosely defined (or rather, quite undefined) "phenomenon" -- and that would be it. Have a good Shabbos!
Ah...and that was a great rejoinder you had in the discussion over at Yakov Weinberg. DRosenbach ( Talk | Contribs) 01:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Unless someone likes to read HTML, there is really nothing redundant about doing what I've done. I find it neater to have someone's title included in the link, but I suppose it's personal preference and a matter of opinion. Whether or not Wikipedia policy or convention is one way or another is merely a function of conventionalizing one esthetic or another. DRosenbach ( Talk | Contribs) 13:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Edmund Allenby.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Any idea where it came from, or how old it is? The copyright-patrol people seem to be after it. I'll try writing fair use rationales for all uses, but it seems silly if you can establish that it's PD-old, or if we can find one that is. -- Zsero ( talk) 06:29, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (
CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Category:Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Hi IZAK! Great to see you're still here, I thought you retired. It's rare to see such long-time Wikipedians anymore. Thanks for the cogratulations :) the admin thing came at a good time, because I'm being released from the IDF, and will have more time to contribute and do admin tasks in the next month or 2 (taking a break for real life).

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Himmler Hitler.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted.

A tag has been placed on File:Gen Eisenhower at death camp report.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:Gen Eisenhower at death camp report.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi IZAK; thx for commenting in the CfD. I responded and asked you a question of opinion on the category's appropriate application; if you could respond to it in the discussion I would be interested in hearing your opinion on the matter. I hope you're well, as I haven't seen you around much. (Thanks also for responding to the nomination in the same spirit it was presented. I did not intend to offend anyone or de-value the experiences of any survivors. My (now deceased) Jewish survivor great-grandfather would rise from the dead and kill me if I ever did!)

Hi IZAK, This editor is adding categories to alot of bios. You seem to have been involved with "Jewish" categories and there deletion. Is there a standard or policy or way this should be treated? My gripe is more about whether the category is sourceable and if the person's ethnicity or religion has already been covered in the bio. This editor claims no malice but I did notice a POV edit in the Larry Page article that does raise a flag. Also, which board would you bring this too?

Greetings! I've been conducting interviews for the Signpost's WikiProject Reports lately. My most recent report was on WP:ISLAM, and I really liked the way it turned out. I'd like to continue my coverage of the major religions with either WP:JUDAISM or WP:CHRISTIANITY. I contacted someone from Christianity a few days ago, but I haven't gotten a response yet. So, I extend the invitation to you. Would you like to be interviewed for the Signpost? If you're interested, just drop a "yes" either here or on my talk page, and I'll walk you through the rest. If not, would you mind recommending someone else from the project who might be interested? Thanks! -- Cryptic C62 · Talk 04:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
