Hello, sir. You are very welcome for the grammar correction, and I thank you for your profference of aid. I'm not sure how much major Wikipedia I can do during this busy time in my junior year, but whenever I see something I can make better, I try. Thank you once again; I'll be sure to come to you if I have any trouble. I'm not sure if this is the proper way to "User talk", but hey, I tried. :)

Could you please provide a reference? I do not recall any such move... I could be wrong. elpincha 23:16, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
OK here you go: Van der Klaauw is de Nederlandse parlementaire geschiedenis in gegaan als de minister die, nadat Begin had besloten Oost-Jeruzalem officieel te annexeren, onder druk moest besluiten de Nederlandse ambassade van Jeruzalem naar Tel Aviv te verhuizen. "Evenals de andere landen erkenden wij die annexatie niet, maar Nederland had de pech als één van de weinige landen een ambassade in Jeruzalem te hebben. Alleen de ambassade van Costa Rica zat er en die van nog wat andere Zuid-Amerikaanse landen. De Arabische landen dreigden de relaties met Nederland te verbreken indien onze ambassade in Jeruzalem zou blijven. Uiteindelijk heb ik in de verhuizing toegestemd, toen ook de Veiligheidsraad een resolutie in die zin aannam. Overigens is één en ander in goed overleg gegaan met de toenmalige Israelische ambassadeur Ronn. Hij wist hoeveel moeite ik met die beslissing had". source - forelast paragraph
Automatic Babel translation (I can do this better, but the gest gets through...): Of of the Klaauw the Dutch parliamentary history has gone in as a minister who, after Oost-Jeruzalem had decided annex beginning officially, had decide the Dutch embassy of Jerusalem move under very nasty tel of Aviv. As well as the other countries did not recognise we that annexation, but the Netherlands had to have the breakdown as an one of weinige the countries embassy in Jerusalem. Only the embassy of Costa Rica zat of it and that still what other South American countries. The Arab countries threatened the relations with the Netherlands break if our embassy in Jerusalem would remain. Eventually I have agreed in the removal, then also the Security Council in that sense adopted a resolution. Moreover one and other one in good consultation has gone with the then Israelische ambassador Ronn. He knew how much effort I with that decision had. It may have been already early eighties by then.

No I do not know him so I would recommend if you feel that the article in question has POV issues then mark it {{POV}} and let people who know the subject better get to work on it.
:) I created that because it was listed as an Article for Creation and we a similar article in the NL language already. No other reason. --

Hi, did you accidentally place this page in the main space? Shawnc 13:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you reverted my last edit in the WS portal. Western Sahara is a territory disputed between Morocco and Polisario, each side has its own arguments which they think suffiscient, the UN is trying now to resolve the problem through a referundum. First of all, the problem is about neutrality of WP, the flag shown in the portal page is the flag used by one party of the conflict (polisario) and refused by the other (Morocco) and not recognized by the UN (the mediator in this conflict). There was an edit conflict about the flag in the Western Sahara page between me in one side and Koavf and Arre in the other, a survey was necessary and the results are here and here. The "no flags" option seems to be the least controversial solution, 2 flags was the second choice and the one flag options was the worst choice, can you explain me your point please? Daryou 20:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, actually the survey is already closed, thank you for your opinion, best regards. Daryou 21:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you, this flag is widely used as the flag of WS because there is a general confusion between WS (a disputed territory) and SADR (the self proclaimed Republic), the sources using this flag are either pro-polisario or ill-informed. The SADR isn't recognized by the UN and 147 states (over 192) neither is its flag. The conflict is under UN mediation, untill it's resolved, WP should be unbiased without any pro-polisario or pro-Moroccan stance. Daryou 17:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
You said that "there is harsh sentiment in Morocco towards Polisario and therefor they are unhappy with this widely accepted symbol for the Western Sahara". Daryou 20:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
I've more than clearly explained why Yom Kippur War is a POV title. Just because you don't agree doesn't automatically mean that the title is disputed; in fact the debate on the page has several others agreeing with me that it is POV, so there is an OBVIOUS dispute.
Unless you can explain better why you removed the POV template, I will replace it later this evening. Un focused 22:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Please be careful in your editing of this article. Do not break WP:3RR or you will be blocked; do not label content disputes as vandalism [2]; do not misrepresent "consensus" on the talk page. William M. Connolley 17:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC).

On my page, you asserted that you breaking the 3RR was a "mistake". In what sense was it a mistake? William M. Connolley 14:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC).
Sorry, I misread your edit [5]. I thought you were saying your 3RR was a mistake. OK, it wasn't a mistake, it was deliberate on your part. Apologies: no: your assertions that I have broken policy are absurd; please stop wasting my time with this. Your transfer this affair to another admin shows some mistunderstanding: I don't own this affair or any other ( User:William M. Connolley/3RR). William M. Connolley 15:09, 29 January 2006 (UTC).
Hi Gidon, I'm not sure if the moves of Elias Khoury and Elias Khouri and creation of a disambiguation page was necessarily the best way to approach this. The writer is far better known and more notable (after all, the article about him could be considerably expanded; it's hard to imagine that there is a huge amount more encyclopaedic material that could be added to the article about the lawyer), and a google search for "Elias Khoury" [6] turns up 366000 thousand results, the vast majority about him. A google search for Elias Khouri turns up 79000 results mostly about the lawyer. I'd be inclined to suggest reversing the move. What is your view? Palmiro | Talk 12:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

pls don't break the 3RR role. Official website should placed on top (in any article), quote is povish and not relvant. -- Haham hanuka 14:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
And very important think, pls don't add your points of view on wikipedia articles. I know you hate Yigal Amir and that's fine, but don't try to show it on his wikipedia article. look at September 11, 2001 attacks (attacks not "terror") or Tali Hatuel ("was shot at close range and killed" - the word "murdered" is not there) and learn who to write article clean of POV. -- Haham hanuka 14:27, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello. I see you deleted my modification.
I had the same feeling than you ie : it was not the right place. But this information is I think relevant and important in the context of Sabrah and Shatila.
Eitan was there the day before and both sharon and he met Hobeikka. It is "always" written Sharon but they were both.
In Mitla incident, this is also Eitan who was the leading commander on the field but these incidents are pushed under the responsability of Sharon.
How may we introduce these facts at best ?

Hello Gidon:Gut Voch. Please see and add your views to a very serious discussion at Template talk:Infobox Halacha#This infobox must carry a warning. Thank you. IZAK 05:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi Avi, I trust that people who use Wikipedia, know what it is. It says when you enter "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." There are other disclaimers. It is true that it is very available, but people also know editors can be from all dominations (Jewish and non-Jewish). I assume that those who look for piska'ot halakha info on the web turn to Jewish sites related to them. I do some writing for a certain chassidic movement myself (obviously not on Halakha) and the publication always refers to their websites and the telephone number of the rabbi is there to dial all day long. People are warned about the other synagogue ("where I will never set a foot"), including rachmana litzlan websites faking any (!) Judaism which are far off from any info we provide. Those who care even a little hear/read these warnings time again. On the other hand, I appreciate your and Izak worries, hence I say if you must do it not in font 48 on the top of the template. gidonb 15:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I would be happy that you have an eye on the contribution I made about Rotary. I forgot to mention that Bush family was involved in financing German banks and Oswiecim mines befor WWII and that a famous Rotarian, Charles Lindbergh was rather friendly to NSDAP.
Would you have the time to review the Wiki, why not in all the langages for Rotary ? I tried to let evolve about all langage versions, and it began when I read in the de.wikipedia that Rotary made discussions from 1933 to 1937 with NSDAP.
Thank you Pierre Larcin, pierre.larcin@ifrance.com 20JAN2006, 20H00 Paris time

Well I would like you to represent yourself a big organisation like Rotary, with let say some million of members, with montly report to the siege in Michigan, with local governors (look on the Rotary history, some legends there try to explain how much there were active and controlling what was going in Germany between 1930 and 1937). I would like you to represent about 30.000 Rotarians in Germany, and all the Rotary structure NEGOCIATING DURING FOUR YEARS WITH THE NAZI NSDAP STRUCTURE TO DECIDE THE FUTURE OF THE ROTARY CLUB, and, DURING FOUR YEARS, no one of these pretty Rotarians seeing that Gestapo was arresting opponents, people disappearing, protests against first Dachau concentration camp in Bavaria. Nuremberg laws published, and DURING FOUR YEARS, THEY DID NOTHING, as they say they were prosecuted, but lived all the war along and even met during the war (see witnesses I speak above). Were you ever prosecuted during FOUR years, GidonB, and you were seeing nothing ? Negociating with your enemy ?
Strange explanation of the Rotary for his 1933-1937 German FOUR YEARS of negociation with NSDAP, PLUS THE YEARS BEFORE 1933 WERE NSDAP WAS RULING BAVARIA, GidonB. Do not forget that Dachau, North of Munich, opens in 1933...and even a bit before. If you look to both three Rotarians, Pinochet, Prescott Bush and Lindbergh, you do not remark something ? Look to the central place of Rotary, Illinois, and the central place for Ford Company, you do not find strange that Rotarians never approached Henry Ford, GidonB ? Have a look at the wiki for Henry Ford, my dear. Have a look on GeneralMotors and Opel roles during WWII and nazi trucks, Ford Trucks also. So, you do not remark anything ?
Well, I will give you a clue : if you accept to place the Shoah view beside you, and look to the nazi concentration camp, you will remark something. Is the nazi camp not the perfect factory, were the worker becomes also some MATERIAL for the whole process ? A Rotarian world of perfection, my dear, so you can understand the OTHER reason why they negociated...
By the way, GidonB, if you know some Rotary club at your place, would you have a look into and see if there is some...I would say...colored people in the club (not the waiters of course :-) any Black member among the others ? Any Chinese or Vietnamese ? Would you make some correspondence between the repartition of members and the repartition of the population ? Can you look to the Rotary foundation and maybe understand WHY Hiram E. Shorey 'will leave quickly the Rotary, it seems for professional reasons ?'
Did you ever find these genealogies where Rotarians make Paul Harris, the founder, have a genealogy coming back to the pilgrims of the Mayflower ?
Thank you for your attention, GidonB and have that opinion from me : Communautarism is the enemy of the Republic.

I apologize for mass reverting, but you missed the part where it called Yigal Amir a murderer. He assassinated someone. Anyone who kills a political figure, especially a polarizing political figure commits an act that cannot be disconnected for the ideological or political motivation. I am sorry that I connected your edits to a mistake possibly made by others when referring to Yigal Amin.

Hello, Gidonb. I would like your opinion and feedback regarding a discussion I am having with Briangotts here about various categories including Category:Midian and Category:Edom. This issue is whether the categories themselves should be subcategories of Category:Torah people and Category:Torah places, or whether just the articles which actually are about Category:Torah people, such as the parent article Edom and Esau, should be tagged. Further explanation and a place to both voice your opinion and vote may be found on the talk page of Category:Midian. Thank you for your time and input. -- Avi 19:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

(in Dutch)[For other readers: This message is in Dutch.] Hoi Gidon, ik ben sinds kort zeer actief op de Nederlandse Wikipedia en ga die enorm uitbreiden. Zie mijn userpage (zelfde username op NL) voor een overzichtje van artikelen die ik onlangs geschreven heb. Ik maak alles overzichtelijker, duidelijker. Daarbij wijzig ik wel enkele dingen - zo gebruik ik Tora in plaats van Thora. Liefst nog Torah, want dat is gewoon de correcte vorm, maar absoluut niet 'Thora'. Verder schrijf ik een shin als 'sh', niet 'sj'. Namelijk, 'sj' geeft een foute klank voor mensen die dit alleen lezen. Je krijgt dan de klank die een Hollander gebruikt als hij 'koosjer' zegt. Dat is fout. Het is namelijk een veel kortere klank dan die 'sj'. Bovendien gebruikt haast de hele wereld 'sh' en leest het gewoon makkelijker. Ik hoop dat ik van de sectie Jodendom op wiki-nl een nog veel uitgebreider informatiever onderdeel kan maken, een onderdeel dat de strijd met de sectie Christendom zonder twijfel aan kan. Je hoeft trouwens niet te komen kijken op wiki-nl, ik begrijp dat je dat liever niet meer doet. In ieder geval weet je nu dat iemand de sectie op zich heeft genomen. Vannacht heb ik er alweer 10 uur (!!) aan zitten schrijven... Wish me luck! -- Daniel575 04:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Wow Gidonb! You really did your homework. I was pretty sure the media called him Deputy PM (I know. We can't trust the media). Then how come Olmert took over if he is the VP, wouldn't the President take reponsibility after Sharon's health problems instead of the VP? Anyways, you proved me wrong. Sorry for the revert. Regards. Gadig 07:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep, these all made the same mistake as you did. Meaning you are in very distinguished company. I also mentioned that it is quite confusing. How come? One of the reasons for confusion may be that in some or even most countries there are no separate functions of deputy and vice premier. In these cases the words may be used interchangeably. Your other question: the Vice Prime Minister is selected to be the replacement of the Prime Minister when something happens to him. The President is formally more like the "boss" of the Premier: he is the head of state. "Under" him serve the three heads of the three branches: legislative (in Israel the Knesset) is the Chair of the Knesset, executive (Government) - the prime minister, judicial - the president of the Israeli high court. In Israel the Chair of the Knesset also functions as vice president, but is not called that way. Under comes in quotation marks because all four institutions are separate and the premier has most actual power. Best regards, gidonb 08:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I kept thinking about leaving you a message as well. I have to agree that the main Germany article is overloaded and details of all the lengthy sections should spill into the sub-articles. That is a process I will support myself as and when I have time to do so. Just a point looking at the last revert diff: The shorter version is sharp to the point and will get people to look up the subarticle wheras the overloaded version will just loose peoples attentionspan. I think you want to get the point accross? Don't loose the focus of that goal by squabling on wordcounts. Agathoclea 21:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Gidonb. I agree that the Holocaust needs an adequate description on the Germany page. However, the version you just reverted from seems to provide the important points (that it was organized, industrial mass-murder with about 10 million victims). Indeed, you even contributed to it, which I understood as a kind of support for (or at least acceptance of) the shortened version. I can understand that the repeated deletion of all details annoys you. But I don't think retaliatory over-reverting is a solution. Apparently, even User:Haham hanuka was willing to let the core facts (and most of the wording) stand. Don't you think we can agree on that basis? Apparently even you agree that the overall history is to long. So let's make a start at a shorter, but not watered-down version. -- Stephan Schulz 12:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I am looking foreward to your involvement in this issue. I think you are just the sort of person that is needed to perhaps break some of the deadlocks we have been experiencing. Please take the time to scan the talk pages and archives - I think that this is important for you to understand and place issues (and contributor personalities) in context. I think that the article can and should be greatly improved. IMO it is paramount that the article be both historically accurate as well as avoid cheap and unsupported material. Additionally, it requires much better historical context - both within the Ottoman Empire and related to its politics and culture (and the context of the Armenian genocide in the transformation of such) and also including the issue of the denial to the present day. I find it shameful that Wikipedia has in a sense become party to denial of this genocide. The facts of this case are in fact readily accesible and accepted within the scholarly community as a whole. We cannot let a few Turkish hyper-nationalists hold this most important historical issue hostage. I am hoping that you will be able to contribute and bring your aparent sanity with you. I applaud your sucess in getting the Holocaust included in the German history article. Likewise the Armenain Genocide needs to be referenced in both the Turkish history and WWI articles - at a minimum. Considering its historical importance - and that it was the premier human rights issue of WWI (that essentially created the category of international human rights) it deserves a much greater role in the article concerning that conflict (which seems biased towards military battles and such at this time just in general). Unfortunatly I am too much a Wikipedia newbie to know how to proceed to get the Armenian Genocide properly included and referenced in these articles and I have no clue how we might achieve success getting it integrated into the Turkish history (and related) articles...your sucess regarding the Holocaust gives me some hope that you may know how to proceed in these matters. Again, looking foreward to your participation. -- THOTH 02:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I was not implying in any way that Iraq was evil and should not be listed as David Sassoon;s home country. I thought that since he lived most of his life in India and that he was part of a key Indian Jewish community of several Middle Eastern sources, I thought it would be best addressing that he was of the country where his ethnicity was centered. Nevetheless I understand that he was of Baghdadi origin always, and perhaps it's better this way. But I never implied that being from Iraq was something to be ashamed of. I respect Iraq and Arab culture greatly. - User: Afghan Historian
I'm very sorry if deleting the Israeli rabbis category was a bad move. However, since Amnon Yitzhak was the sole inhabitant of that category - and there are a least 3 more Rabbinical categories into which he could fit, I deemed it unecessary. Additionally, since there are Rabbis of virtually every nationality, it would be nigh impossible and impractical to categorise them based on such a factor. How would one decide what nationality Maimonides was - or a Rabbi whose birthplace is uncertain - or a Rabbi born in a defunct country/ country where borders changed eg Lithuania now Poland - or a Rabbi born in South Africa, moved to Israel but now living in USA - or a Rabbi in the Talmud/Mishna?. If you have practical answers to these questions and a strong motivation to categorise Rabbis basedon nationality, please let me know. In any event, I will not delete categories in future without prior consultation. Thank you Nesher 18:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
PS: I'm quite sorry - I didnt realise you only started the category yesterday! Nevertheless please access its practicality. Also, contrary to what you might think, I've been using wikipedia for a few months now and have written several articles already. See my homepage...
Just for your information, I wanted to let you know that I've nominated this article for deletion due to a number of issues, which are outlined on the discussion page and the deletion page.

Dear Gidonb Please let me know why you deleted my contribution to the "Talk: Baruch Goldstein"? Is it any less relevant than the other contributions which appear on this talk page? Simonschaim 11:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Dear Gidonb: I was rather dismayed to read your "reasons" for deleting my contribution to the talkpage on Baruch Goldstein. These you stated to be that they were my "personal opinion" and that they were irrelevant to the article on Baruch Goldstein.
However reading through one of your contributions to this very same talkpage you wrote "Goldstein was a terrorist". Since no Court of Law has found him guilty of being a terrorist, this is YOUR PERSONAL OPINION! In addition, if it is RELEVANT for you to make such a comment on the talkpage, it is NO LESS relevant for me to bring the counter view.
You also mention "Wikipedia policies". If you would study the "Key Policies of Wikipedia" you would see that one of them is "Respect other Contributors". However despite this you totally removed my contribution and when "Aiden" accused you of "censoring talk pages" you classed this as an "unpleasant accusation".
I consider my contribution to this talkpage no less relevant than your contributions and I am therefore restoring it. Simonschaim 08:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Many editors do this all the time. The talk pages are meant for discussing the editorial process and not meant for dumping/promoting personal opinions and websites. Per WP:NOT no part of Wikipedia is, although on personal talk pages this is usually allowed. Without bold editors all article's talk pages would eventually clog. Please refrain from making unfriendly allegations. Remember, I challenged you to provide one policy that underwrites that any text unrelated to the editorial process on talk pages should be kept there. So far you have not delivered. You only made new accusations. gidonb 16:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gidon, Thanks for the greeting on my talk page. I'm taking you up on your invitation for help. In my perusal of Wikipedia, I have come across a page to my mind appears to be a vanity page. However, being so new to editing, I am reluctant to report it. I requested citations for the Mrozinski article, but my requests were deleted. The most outrageous unverified statement was taken out, but the whole thing still seems like a vanity page to me. Would you care to offer a second opinion? GentlemanGhost 07:01, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Gidonb, you'll be pleased to know that I've created a new, objective category - Sephardic Orthodox rabbis. Unlike many other recently created categories that have been bitterly disputed, this category doesn't rank Rabbonim by how Frum they are or their political beliefs. In short, it's absolutely impossible to argue why any of the Rabbis have been placed in it - because of course they're all Sephardi. I hope you like it and that this simplifies matters.

OK here you go: Van der Klaauw is de Nederlandse parlementaire geschiedenis in gegaan als de minister die, nadat Begin had besloten Oost-Jeruzalem officieel te annexeren, onder druk moest besluiten de Nederlandse ambassade van Jeruzalem naar Tel Aviv te verhuizen. "Evenals de andere landen erkenden wij die annexatie niet, maar Nederland had de pech als één van de weinige landen een ambassade in Jeruzalem te hebben. Alleen de ambassade van Costa Rica zat er en die van nog wat andere Zuid-Amerikaanse landen. De Arabische landen dreigden de relaties met Nederland te verbreken indien onze ambassade in Jeruzalem zou blijven. Uiteindelijk heb ik in de verhuizing toegestemd, toen ook de Veiligheidsraad een resolutie in die zin aannam. Overigens is één en ander in goed overleg gegaan met de toenmalige Israelische ambassadeur Ronn. Hij wist hoeveel moeite ik met die beslissing had". source - forelast paragraph
Automatic Babel translation (I can do this better, but the gest gets through...): Of of the Klaauw the Dutch parliamentary history has gone in as a minister who, after Oost-Jeruzalem had decided annex beginning officially, had decide the Dutch embassy of Jerusalem move under very nasty tel of Aviv. As well as the other countries did not recognise we that annexation, but the Netherlands had to have the breakdown as an one of weinige the countries embassy in Jerusalem. Only the embassy of Costa Rica zat of it and that still what other South American countries. The Arab countries threatened the relations with the Netherlands break if our embassy in Jerusalem would remain. Eventually I have agreed in the removal, then also the Security Council in that sense adopted a resolution. Moreover one and other one in good consultation has gone with the then Israelische ambassador Ronn. He knew how much effort I with that decision had. It may have been already early eighties by then. Cheers, gidonb 23:37, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
No I do not know him so I would recommend if you feel that the article in question has POV issues then mark it {{POV}} and let people who know the subject better get to work on it.

Hi, did you accidentally place this page in the main space? Shawnc 13:50, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you reverted my last edit in the WS portal. Western Sahara is a territory disputed between Morocco and Polisario, each side has its own arguments which they think suffiscient, the UN is trying now to resolve the problem through a referundum. First of all, the problem is about neutrality of WP, the flag shown in the portal page is the flag used by one party of the conflict (polisario) and refused by the other (Morocco) and not recognized by the UN (the mediator in this conflict). There was an edit conflict about the flag in the Western Sahara page between me in one side and Koavf and Arre in the other, a survey was necessary and the results are here and here. The "no flags" option seems to be the least controversial solution, 2 flags was the second choice and the one flag options was the worst choice, can you explain me your point please? Daryou 20:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, actually the survey is already closed, thank you for your opinion, best regards. Daryou 21:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you, this flag is widely used as the flag of WS because there is a general confusion between WS (a disputed territory) and SADR (the self proclaimed Republic), the sources using this flag are either pro-polisario or ill-informed. The SADR isn't recognized by the UN and 147 states (over 192) neither is its flag. The conflict is under UN mediation, untill it's resolved, WP should be unbiased without any pro-polisario or pro-Moroccan stance. Daryou 17:50, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
You said that "there is harsh sentiment in Morocco towards Polisario and therefor they are unhappy with this widely accepted symbol for the Western Sahara". Daryou 20:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
I've more than clearly explained why Yom Kippur War is a POV title. Just because you don't agree doesn't automatically mean that the title is disputed; in fact the debate on the page has several others agreeing with me that it is POV, so there is an OBVIOUS dispute.

Hi Gidon, I'm not sure if the moves of Elias Khoury and Elias Khouri and creation of a disambiguation page was necessarily the best way to approach this. The writer is far better known and more notable (after all, the article about him could be considerably expanded; it's hard to imagine that there is a huge amount more encyclopaedic material that could be added to the article about the lawyer), and a google search for "Elias Khoury" [6] turns up 366000 thousand results, the vast majority about him. A google search for Elias Khouri turns up 79000 results mostly about the lawyer. I'd be inclined to suggest reversing the move. What is your view? Palmiro | Talk 12:38, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

I had the same feeling than you ie : it was not the right place. But this information is I think relevant and important in the context of Sabrah and Shatila.
Eitan was there the day before and both sharon and he met Hobeikka. It is "always" written Sharon but they were both.
In Mitla incident, this is also Eitan who was the leading commander on the field but these incidents are pushed under the responsability of Sharon.
How may we introduce these facts at best ?

Hi Avi, I trust that people who use Wikipedia, know what it is. It says when you enter "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." There are other disclaimers. It is true that it is very available, but people also know editors can be from all dominations (Jewish and non-Jewish). I assume that those who look for piska'ot halakha info on the web turn to Jewish sites related to them. I do some writing for a certain chassidic movement myself (obviously not on Halakha) and the publication always refers to their websites and the telephone number of the rabbi is there to dial all day long. People are warned about the other synagogue ("where I will never set a foot"), including rachmana litzlan websites faking any (!) Judaism which are far off from any info we provide. Those who care even a little hear/read these warnings time again. On the other hand, I appreciate your and Izak worries, hence I say if you must do it not in font 48 on the top of the template. gidonb 15:46, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I would be happy that you have an eye on the contribution I made about Rotary. I forgot to mention that Bush family was involved in financing German banks and Oswiecim mines befor WWII and that a famous Rotarian, Charles Lindbergh was rather friendly to NSDAP.
Would you have the time to review the Wiki, why not in all the langages for Rotary ? I tried to let evolve about all langage versions, and it began when I read in the de.wikipedia that Rotary made discussions from 1933 to 1937 with NSDAP.

Well I would like you to represent yourself a big organisation like Rotary, with let say some million of members, with montly report to the siege in Michigan, with local governors (look on the Rotary history, some legends there try to explain how much there were active and controlling what was going in Germany between 1930 and 1937). I would like you to represent about 30.000 Rotarians in Germany, and all the Rotary structure NEGOCIATING DURING FOUR YEARS WITH THE NAZI NSDAP STRUCTURE TO DECIDE THE FUTURE OF THE ROTARY CLUB, and, DURING FOUR YEARS, no one of these pretty Rotarians seeing that Gestapo was arresting opponents, people disappearing, protests against first Dachau concentration camp in Bavaria. Nuremberg laws published, and DURING FOUR YEARS, THEY DID NOTHING, as they say they were prosecuted, but lived all the war along and even met during the war (see witnesses I speak above). Were you ever prosecuted during FOUR years, GidonB, and you were seeing nothing ? Negociating with your enemy ?
Strange explanation of the Rotary for his 1933-1937 German FOUR YEARS of negociation with NSDAP, PLUS THE YEARS BEFORE 1933 WERE NSDAP WAS RULING BAVARIA, GidonB. Do not forget that Dachau, North of Munich, opens in 1933...and even a bit before. If you look to both three Rotarians, Pinochet, Prescott Bush and Lindbergh, you do not remark something ? Look to the central place of Rotary, Illinois, and the central place for Ford Company, you do not find strange that Rotarians never approached Henry Ford, GidonB ? Have a look at the wiki for Henry Ford, my dear. Have a look on GeneralMotors and Opel roles during WWII and nazi trucks, Ford Trucks also. So, you do not remark anything ?
Well, I will give you a clue : if you accept to place the Shoah view beside you, and look to the nazi concentration camp, you will remark something. Is the nazi camp not the perfect factory, were the worker becomes also some MATERIAL for the whole process ? A Rotarian world of perfection, my dear, so you can understand the OTHER reason why they negociated...
By the way, GidonB, if you know some Rotary club at your place, would you have a look into and see if there is some...I would say...colored people in the club (not the waiters of course :-) any Black member among the others ? Any Chinese or Vietnamese ? Would you make some correspondence between the repartition of members and the repartition of the population ? Can you look to the Rotary foundation and maybe understand WHY Hiram E. Shorey 'will leave quickly the Rotary, it seems for professional reasons ?'
Did you ever find these genealogies where Rotarians make Paul Harris, the founder, have a genealogy coming back to the pilgrims of the Mayflower ?
Thank you for your attention, GidonB and have that opinion from me : Communautarism is the enemy of the Republic.

Hello, Gidonb. I would like your opinion and feedback regarding a discussion I am having with Briangotts here about various categories including Category:Midian and Category:Edom. This issue is whether the categories themselves should be subcategories of Category:Torah people and Category:Torah places, or whether just the articles which actually are about Category:Torah people, such as the parent article Edom and Esau, should be tagged.

(in Dutch)[For other readers: This message is in Dutch.] Hoi Gidon, ik ben sinds kort zeer actief op de Nederlandse Wikipedia en ga die enorm uitbreiden. Zie mijn userpage (zelfde username op NL) voor een overzichtje van artikelen die ik onlangs geschreven heb. Ik maak alles overzichtelijker, duidelijker. Daarbij wijzig ik wel enkele dingen - zo gebruik ik Tora in plaats van Thora. Liefst nog Torah, want dat is gewoon de correcte vorm, maar absoluut niet 'Thora'. Verder schrijf ik een shin als 'sh', niet 'sj'. Namelijk, 'sj' geeft een foute klank voor mensen die dit alleen lezen. Je krijgt dan de klank die een Hollander gebruikt als hij 'koosjer' zegt. Dat is fout. Het is namelijk een veel kortere klank dan die 'sj'. Bovendien gebruikt haast de hele wereld 'sh' en leest het gewoon makkelijker. Ik hoop dat ik van de sectie Jodendom op wiki-nl een nog veel uitgebreider informatiever onderdeel kan maken, een onderdeel dat de strijd met de sectie Christendom zonder twijfel aan kan. Je hoeft trouwens niet te komen kijken op wiki-nl, ik begrijp dat je dat liever niet meer doet. In ieder geval weet je nu dat iemand de sectie op zich heeft genomen. Vannacht heb ik er alweer 10 uur (!!) aan zitten schrijven... Wish me luck! -- Daniel575 04:38, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Wow Gidonb! You really did your homework. I was pretty sure the media called him Deputy PM (I know. We can't trust the media). Then how come Olmert took over if he is the VP, wouldn't the President take reponsibility after Sharon's health problems instead of the VP? Anyways, you proved me wrong. Sorry for the revert. Regards. Gadig 07:37, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
Yep, these all made the same mistake as you did. Meaning you are in very distinguished company. I also mentioned that it is quite confusing. How come? One of the reasons for confusion may be that in some or even most countries there are no separate functions of deputy and vice premier. In these cases the words may be used interchangeably. Your other question: the Vice Prime Minister is selected to be the replacement of the Prime Minister when something happens to him. The President is formally more like the "boss" of the Premier: he is the head of state. "Under" him serve the three heads of the three branches: legislative (in Israel the Knesset) is the Chair of the Knesset, executive (Government) - the prime minister, judicial - the president of the Israeli high court. In Israel the Chair of the Knesset also functions as vice president, but is not called that way. Under comes in quotation marks because all four institutions are separate and the premier has most actual power. Best regards, gidonb 08:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I kept thinking about leaving you a message as well. I have to agree that the main Germany article is overloaded and details of all the lengthy sections should spill into the sub-articles. That is a process I will support myself as and when I have time to do so. Just a point looking at the last revert diff: The shorter version is sharp to the point and will get people to look up the subarticle wheras the overloaded version will just loose peoples attentionspan. I think you want to get the point accross? Don't loose the focus of that goal by squabling on wordcounts. Agathoclea 21:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Gidonb. I agree that the Holocaust needs an adequate description on the Germany page. However, the version you just reverted from seems to provide the important points (that it was organized, industrial mass-murder with about 10 million victims). Indeed, you even contributed to it, which I understood as a kind of support for (or at least acceptance of) the shortened version. I can understand that the repeated deletion of all details annoys you. But I don't think retaliatory over-reverting is a solution. Apparently, even User:Haham hanuka was willing to let the core facts (and most of the wording) stand. Don't you think we can agree on that basis? Apparently even you agree that the overall history is to long. So let's make a start at a shorter, but not watered-down version. -- Stephan Schulz 12:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I am looking foreward to your involvement in this issue. I think you are just the sort of person that is needed to perhaps break some of the deadlocks we have been experiencing. Please take the time to scan the talk pages and archives - I think that this is important for you to understand and place issues (and contributor personalities) in context. I think that the article can and should be greatly improved. IMO it is paramount that the article be both historically accurate as well as avoid cheap and unsupported material. Additionally, it requires much better historical context - both within the Ottoman Empire and related to its politics and culture (and the context of the Armenian genocide in the transformation of such) and also including the issue of the denial to the present day. I find it shameful that Wikipedia has in a sense become party to denial of this genocide. The facts of this case are in fact readily accesible and accepted within the scholarly community as a whole. We cannot let a few Turkish hyper-nationalists hold this most important historical issue hostage. I am hoping that you will be able to contribute and bring your aparent sanity with you. I applaud your sucess in getting the Holocaust included in the German history article. Likewise the Armenain Genocide needs to be referenced in both the Turkish history and WWI articles - at a minimum. Considering its historical importance - and that it was the premier human rights issue of WWI (that essentially created the category of international human rights) it deserves a much greater role in the article concerning that conflict (which seems biased towards military battles and such at this time just in general). Unfortunatly I am too much a Wikipedia newbie to know how to proceed to get the Armenian Genocide properly included and referenced in these articles and I have no clue how we might achieve success getting it integrated into the Turkish history (and related) articles...your sucess regarding the Holocaust gives me some hope that you may know how to proceed in these matters. Again, looking foreward to your participation. -- THOTH 02:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I was not implying in any way that Iraq was evil and should not be listed as David Sassoon;s home country. I thought that since he lived most of his life in India and that he was part of a key Indian Jewish community of several Middle Eastern sources, I thought it would be best addressing that he was of the country where his ethnicity was centered. Nevetheless I understand that he was of Baghdadi origin always, and perhaps it's better this way. But I never implied that being from Iraq was something to be ashamed of. I respect Iraq and Arab culture greatly. - User: Afghan Historian
I'm very sorry if deleting the Israeli rabbis category was a bad move. However, since Amnon Yitzhak was the sole inhabitant of that category - and there are a least 3 more Rabbinical categories into which he could fit, I deemed it unecessary. Additionally, since there are Rabbis of virtually every nationality, it would be nigh impossible and impractical to categorise them based on such a factor. How would one decide what nationality Maimonides was - or a Rabbi whose birthplace is uncertain - or a Rabbi born in a defunct country/ country where borders changed eg Lithuania now Poland - or a Rabbi born in South Africa, moved to Israel but now living in USA - or a Rabbi in the Talmud/Mishna?. If you have practical answers to these questions and a strong motivation to categorise Rabbis basedon nationality, please let me know. In any event, I will not delete categories in future without prior consultation. Thank you Nesher 18:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Dear Gidonb Please let me know why you deleted my contribution to the "Talk: Baruch Goldstein"? Is it any less relevant than the other contributions which appear on this talk page? Simonschaim 11:34, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Dear Gidonb: I was rather dismayed to read your "reasons" for deleting my contribution to the talkpage on Baruch Goldstein. These you stated to be that they were my "personal opinion" and that they were irrelevant to the article on Baruch Goldstein.
However reading through one of your contributions to this very same talkpage you wrote "Goldstein was a terrorist". Since no Court of Law has found him guilty of being a terrorist, this is YOUR PERSONAL OPINION! In addition, if it is RELEVANT for you to make such a comment on the talkpage, it is NO LESS relevant for me to bring the counter view.
You also mention "Wikipedia policies". If you would study the "Key Policies of Wikipedia" you would see that one of them is "Respect other Contributors". However despite this you totally removed my contribution and when "Aiden" accused you of "censoring talk pages" you classed this as an "unpleasant accusation".
I consider my contribution to this talkpage no less relevant than your contributions and I am therefore restoring it. Simonschaim 08:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Many editors do this all the time. The talk pages are meant for discussing the editorial process and not meant for dumping/promoting personal opinions and websites. Per WP:NOT no part of Wikipedia is, although on personal talk pages this is usually allowed. Without bold editors all article's talk pages would eventually clog. Please refrain from making unfriendly allegations. Remember, I challenged you to provide one policy that underwrites that any text unrelated to the editorial process on talk pages should be kept there. So far you have not delivered. You only made new accusations. gidonb 16:43, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Let's get this page off. It seems to have been the target of interest for people with no stake in its content. Now they can move on to objects of more legitimate concern and leave me alone. I do not know why everyone insisted on editing a page which is about me, but I guess I should be flattered. I hope they are happy to find someone else to harrass. Mrozinski 16:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I moved this comment from your userpage to your talk page. -- Zpb52 21:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Please stop proclaiming yourself as a self-appointed watchdog of information and keep your misguided opinions to yourself. God is the judge, not you. Mrozinski 21:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
You sadly overstimate your own importance. I can't explain your obsession with me, but back off and live your own life, such as it is. Mrozinski 02:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I notice that you are using Template:User wife, which has been moved to {{ User:UBX/wife}}. The link currently being used on your page is a cross-namespace redirect and will probably not last. It may be advisable to change the link. Thanks. — Mi r a 05:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the points raised merit wider attention and debate. Where do you suggest? Talk page for AfD perhaps? I am concerned at the adverse image created by careless/flippant/insulting remarks which seem to be quite acceptable now on AfD (I am not referring to you by the way).

Hi Gidonb, you'll be pleased to know that I've created a new, objective category - Sephardic Orthodox rabbis. Unlike many other recently created categories that have been bitterly disputed, this category doesn't rank Rabbonim by how Frum they are or their political beliefs. In short, it's absolutely impossible to argue why any of the Rabbis have been placed in it - because of course they're all Sephardi. I hope you like it and that this simplifies matters.

Sure, thanks for the notification! Cheers, Sango 123 01:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
