Hi. Last week, I made a request on the WikiProject Judaism talk page for some help in finding a transliteration of part of the U'n'taneh Tokef, specifically the section beginning and ending "Truly, You alone judge and reprove, discern and witness, record and seal, recount and measure. You remember all that is forgotten ...... who have come into this world must pass before You like a flock of sheep." Would you be able to help, please? 212.84.120.40 ( talk) 07:39, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I chose you at random among users who know Hebrew; I hope you won't mind me asking for your help. I'm trying to decide whether this is vandalism or a good faith (but really unnecessary) edit. Could you possibly tell me if it's at least correct? I'd really appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks. :) -- edi (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello IZAK. I have started to construct an article on former Knesset member Rabbi Yaakov Yosef. My question is - Among the sons of Ovadia Yosef it appears that at least three are notable; Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef (author of Yalkut Yosef), and Rabbi Avraham Yosef ( Chief Rabbi of Holon) - do you agree? I think there is enough sources for an article on each. I would appreciate any thoughts you have. Thanks. Ism schism ( talk) 23:59, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Rebbe Nachman s grave.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
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
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I've been listing the categories at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Judaism as you requested, but have noticed you've been missing lately. Have had quite a bit of success! Am I supposed to update your internal final results list, too?
Meanwhile, there's a Deletion Review of a year+ old decision:
IZAK, I've been looking at the [ Feast of Trumpets] page and the entire thing needs to be reformatted. There's alot of POV in it, there are alot of claims that need citation. I don't know what to do; I don't have the time needed to dedicate to its clean up. The page indicates that there is already a page for the Christian adherence to the Feast of Trumpets. That, to me, says that this page is intended to be about the Feast of Trumpets in the Tanakh. I'd like to just delete the majority of the page, but I am afraid I will hurt feelings and cause a fight. What, if anything, should I do? Or should I just leave it to those of you who are working on Jewish items? Thanks in advance, Rivka ( talk) 03:45, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi IZAK -Good work on all your Yom Kippur edits! I would ask a favour though: kindly add at least a short edit summary to every change being made. I and others scan dozens of edit changes to articles regularly for vandalism, and the lack of edit summaries is one of the tip-offs I use to check edits for that nonsense. Edits not having a change summary means spending more time manually scanning them. One way to lessen the burden of the summaries is to compile all the changes you'd like to make into a single edit, b.t.w. Thanks and keep up the good work....

Hello there. The Yom Kippur War site is currently filled with revisionist rewrites of history, pushing an Egyptian POV and the article need lots of work. I'd like to collaborate with you on this. If you're interested. just leave a message on my Talk page. I've already made some corrections but encounter lots of reverts for no apparent other than expressing NPOV.-- Jiujitsuguy ( talk) 17:55, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Jiu, thanks for contacting me. There must be a split between the views of the two warring sides, this was a war after all between enemies so it's crazy to think that one synthesized view can be hashed up. Create sub-sections like "The war from Egypt's perspective" and the "The war from Israel's perspective" -- as in any war both sides had their views for what happened and how they responded and what the results were etc. IZAK ( talk) 07:55, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Izak: I was just drawn by another editor’s comment to a discussion in which I saw you make the following comment: “Nominator is also injecting gay isssues that have no evident logical or any other connection to this category beyond emotional hysteria value in violation of Wikipedia:Etiquette that have nothing to do with the reality of antisemitism which is not the same thing as being anti-gay.” This made me think. Let me say I can see that comparing types of prejudice is thorny, at the least, and I might also question whether the nominator has fully considered the rather unique history of anti-Jewish propaganda. I simply have to ask: “Emotional hysteria value,” for asking that a ruling as to articles on one minority group not be limited to that minority group? This seems to me a fairly common way of thinking. I wonder if you would stand by your remark. Regards, Mackan79 ( talk) 08:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering if an administrator can help with the Jewish philosophy article. This once fine article has been hijacked for many months by one person, who makes edits every few minutes, and has turned it into his own personal belief system.
This person made edits anonymous, many times a day, and simply rode roughshod over all others. Then he made a username, and now he does the same thing - sometimes every few minutes - for days and weeks on end. He is exhibiting bizarre, near pathological behavior with this article.
Nothing he is doing has anything to do with philosophy, nor does he cite references, nor does he follow any Wikipedia standards of community and cooperation. He has just totally taken over.
We need an admin to lock this article; find a reasonable, stable version, from about a year ago (or more) and then lock that version in until we can find out what is going on with this article & user.

Is there a specific age, in Judaism, for divorce, then? - Can a person be married but not be able to divorce simply on grounds of their age? Newman Luke ( talk) 11:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
In regards to your point about marriageable age would lead to articles on divorceable age, child rearing age etc. I think it fails, on the grounds that marriageable age is a distinct recognised sociological/legal thing, whereas divorceable age, and child rearing age are not. Newman Luke ( talk) 16:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
I recognize that there are some pejorative connotations to the word pedophilia, but changing the wording there changes the meaning. If you have a source that indicates that these pre-pubescent marriages forbade sex until after they attained majority, that's one thing, as pedophilia would presumably not be a concern in such a case. But if there was sex, and it was not a concern at the time (which would not be unheard of, this was a long time ago, and marriages like this were not unique to Jews), then you are changing the meaning of the sentence quite significantly. Can you explain why your wording is more appropriate? -- ShadowRanger ( talk| stalk) 17:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
I nominated an article about what seemed to be a straight advertisement: Open Happiness. So watching the AfD boards I chimed in on a few. Ended up in the Marriageable age in Judaism debate. It's like a Wikipedia soap opera and I'm enthralled. Ended up looking at Jewish fundamentalism page and it is so full of weasel and peacock words and lacks so much citation; I haven't a clue where to start clarifying. You are more suited to that and wonder if you've looked at it before? Alatari ( talk) 02:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I took a Wikication (what!?!, There is no Wikipedia Vacation slang?) and came back and it was already deleted. here are some sources I found in a few minutes. Is any of the original page usable? Alatari ( talk) 07:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Izak: I was just drawn by another editor’s comment to a discussion in which I saw you make the following comment: “Nominator is also injecting gay isssues that have no evident logical or any other connection to this category beyond emotional hysteria value in violation of Wikipedia:Etiquette that have nothing to do with the reality of antisemitism which is not the same thing as being anti-gay.” This made me think. Let me say I can see that comparing types of prejudice is thorny, at the least, and I might also question whether the nominator has fully considered the rather unique history of anti-Jewish propaganda. I simply have to ask: “Emotional hysteria value,” for asking that a ruling as to articles on one minority group not be limited to that minority group? This seems to me a fairly common way of thinking. I wonder if you would stand by your remark. Regards, Mackan79 ( talk) 08:22, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I was wondering if an administrator can help with the Jewish philosophy article. This once fine article has been hijacked for many months by one person, who makes edits every few minutes, and has turned it into his own personal belief system.
This person made edits anonymous, many times a day, and simply rode roughshod over all others. Then he made a username, and now he does the same thing - sometimes every few minutes - for days and weeks on end. He is exhibiting bizarre, near pathological behavior with this article.
Nothing he is doing has anything to do with philosophy, nor does he cite references, nor does he follow any Wikipedia standards of community and cooperation. He has just totally taken over.
We need an admin to lock this article; find a reasonable, stable version, from about a year ago (or more) and then lock that version in until we can find out what is going on with this article & user.

Is there a specific age, in Judaism, for divorce, then? - Can a person be married but not be able to divorce simply on grounds of their age? Newman Luke ( talk) 11:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
In regards to your point about marriageable age would lead to articles on divorceable age, child rearing age etc. I think it fails, on the grounds that marriageable age is a distinct recognised sociological/legal thing, whereas divorceable age, and child rearing age are not.

I recognize that there are some pejorative connotations to the word pedophilia, but changing the wording there changes the meaning. If you have a source that indicates that these pre-pubescent marriages forbade sex until after they attained majority, that's one thing, as pedophilia would presumably not be a concern in such a case. But if there was sex, and it was not a concern at the time (which would not be unheard of, this was a long time ago, and marriages like this were not unique to Jews), then you are changing the meaning of the sentence quite significantly. Can you explain why your wording is more appropriate? -- ShadowRanger ( talk| stalk) 17:57, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
I nominated an article about what seemed to be a straight advertisement: Open Happiness. So watching the AfD boards I chimed in on a few. Ended up in the Marriageable age in Judaism debate. It's like a Wikipedia soap opera and I'm enthralled. Ended up looking at Jewish fundamentalism page and it is so full of weasel and peacock words and lacks so much citation; I haven't a clue where to start clarifying. You are more suited to that and wonder if you've looked at it before? Alatari ( talk) 02:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I took a Wikication (what!?!, There is no Wikipedia Vacation slang?) and came back and it was already deleted. here are some sources I found in a few minutes. Is any of the original page usable? Alatari ( talk) 07:33, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
Can you please take a look? - Lisa ( talk) 16:01, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
