[edit] Shalom
Hi David and welcome to Wikipedia. Feel free to contact me. Best wishes. IZAK 04:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flatbush
David, I made some changes at the Yeshivah of Flatbush article. It came to mind that there is no article as of yet on Syrian Jews, or on the Syrian community in Flatbush. If you have the time, please go ahead and start one - you are more qualified than I am to write about it. I would call it Syrian Jews and include all the information (Flatbush, Deal, Magen David, important rabbis, ethnic food, customs, etc.) I'll fill in what I can.
Also, see if you can find a picture of YOF (one that fits copyright restrictions). That's really all the article is missing. Take care, DLandTALK 00:42, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that the article looks very nice now, but the very nature of Wikipedia dictates that an article is never "done." Anyone, anytime, can edit any article and try to improve it. That way, the longer an article exists, the better it becomes - through the efforts of a collective group of editors. You don't have to take it upon yourself to improve an article, because in Wikipedia, it will improve "on its own" so to speak. That said, yashar koach (or should I say, hazak u'baruch...) on the article and keep up the good work. --DLandTALK 17:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ethiopians
There are Ethiopians in Flatbush? Are you sure? --DLandTALK 20:42, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Interesting. By the way, you should sign your edits on talk pages with ~~~~. That will automatically put in your user name and the date. As for making things look professional, it takes some experience with Wikipedia. You learn more and more about proper coding and Wikipedia:Policies and Guidelines as you go on. --DLandTALK 02:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kahane
Do you know for a fact that Kahane went to Flatbush? I can't find a source for that anywhere. --DLandTALK 22:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pizmonim
Do you think you could let me have the Hebrew wording of the Nahawand entry in your table? As it now appears it is hopelessly garbled, but if we could have a revised version the table could be a very useful addition to the article. I'll try to get round to translating the second "Baqashot" article eventually! --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) 09:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] West Bank
I'll take a look, but sometimes you have to choose your battles, if you know what I mean. --DLandTALK 03:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd be glad to help, but there are two things to consider. 1- POV problems, such as "Judea and Samaria do not necessarily correspond to the modern West Bank land area" or the simple fact of redirecting Judea and Samaria to West Bank might be offensive to both Israeli and Palestinian supporters. 2- Length: WP had a recommended article length that it's advised not to go over. Perhaps it might be worth placing merge tags on the articles you are proposing and seeing what responses we get.
On a separate note, and just out of curiosity, how are pizmonim related (if at all) to Klezmer music? And another question which you may be able to answer since I can't find it anywhere: Have you ever seen (or heard the theme song of) the movie Pulp Fiction? I actually heard that theme song sung with Yiddish lyrics by an elderly rabbi who knew the song since his childhood. Do you know the origins of this song, by any chance? Thanks, Ramallite (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Parasha Pages
Thanks for your kind words on the Torah parshah pages. That kind of positive reinforcement will just keep me expanding them! Thanks again. Dauster 12:50, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Yemach shemo vezichro
I will be proposing Yemach shemo vezichro for deletion. It's not an encyclopedic topic, no scholarly literature exists about this term - and it's a bit of an eyesore to boot. Perhaps, if you agree, you could just consent to its deletion, and I would zap it under CSD G7. Kol tuv, - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- Good man. Chag same'ach. If you see a fat ashkenazi guy walking around flatbush on shmini atzeret, say hello. - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:41, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of content
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia.
[edit] Further removal of content
Please stop. If you continue to remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Emanuel Jaques, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
- "The reason why I have removed those items is because the information presented is false."
- I'm afraid I don't follow you at all. It is a matter of public record, and is documented in the article with references to newspaper articles.
[edit] Removal of warnings
Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history.
Some of the people, places or things you have written about may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. Wickethewok 21:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
