[edit] Can you correct the spelling of my name?

Hi Pinchas --- this is Rooster613, real name Yonassan Gershom. I just discovered there has been a Wikipedia page on me since Oct 2005. Perhaps the reason I never found it before (egotistically, I have looked) is because my name is spelled wrong as Yonasson Gershom when you search for the correct spelling, the page does not exist! Google popped it up in a search recently -- their search deals with mispellings better. Anyway, I have corrected it in the article but do not know how to correct it in the title. Please correct: My first name ends in AN, not ON: Yonassan. The last name is spelled correctly. Thank you! Rooster613 15:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Rooster613

I moved it to the correct spelling. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 16:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Noahide Laws cleanup

Hi, I was hoping we could collaborate on cleaning splitting and writing up more articles related to 7mBn. I've tagged Noahide laws for a cleanup. I'm not rushing in, I've read them all up, I'm waiting for the readiness of a few others so we can take this on together, and have it featured on the main page sometime. Its possible, there are quite a few of us and will potentialy be a subject of interest. Again, I'm one for words and think the parent article should be Seven Laws of Noach, as in 'Sheva Mitzvas Bnei Noach'. Anything that is should be another 'ism'.

• Hi Chavat: Do not change that title, it is the accepted English name for it (why is it that you have this great urge to change the titles of long-establishe Wikipedia articles?) Not everything has to be a direct translation or transliteration from Hebrew. Many Judaic and Hebraic topics do and should retain their English titles. Please contact the following to help you: User:Noahlaws; User:Jon513; User:Dauster; User:HKT; User:PinchasC; User:Shirahadasha; User:Shuki; User:TShilo12, they all have knowledge of Jewish Law and experience as Wikipedians and may be interested in working on this with you. Sincerely, IZAK 21:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please join in the discussion on the Noahide Laws talk page about cleaning it up etc. Thanks! Chavatshimshon 08:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clerk for Requests for Checkuser

Hey PinchasC,

I am messaging you to ask whether you would be interested in reassuming your role as a Request for Checkuser clerk. Currently, the clerk duties are being shared among three experienced clerks, and we have added two new clerks, who are currently in the learning stage. We are currently experiencing backlogs and long waiting times for some actions to occur.

As you are currently listed under "inactive" on our clerk roster, we're asking that if you are willing to resume these clerk activities, please leave a message on my user talk page ^{(quick link)}. A number of things have changed, so we reccommend re-reading Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Guide. The guide is currently being rewritten, but the new and updated version should be available by 00:00 December 12, 2006 (UTC) at the latest.

If you aren't interested in being a checkuser clerk any longer, we accept your decision and thank you for your service; it would be greatly appreciated if you'd leave me a note that you're no longer interested. If you would like to resume your role in the future, but can't do so now, please mention so on my talk page, and I'll note this on our clerk register.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]}, Head Clerk, for Essjay (talk), 05:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why should an article from blogspot be removed?

Hello -

You removed an external link that I added to the Hanukkah page because it was from Blogspot.

First of all, I have not found anything in Wikipedia that prevents linking to pages from blog hosting sites.

Secondly, this page was not a journal entry discussing thoughts about Hanukkah, but a researched post on the etymology of the word. Had it been hosted on another page would that have been acceptable?

I ask that you please either explain your position more clearly, or reinstate the edit.

Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curwin (talk • contribs) 05:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Wikilogos

I've noticed you're very involved here, you might be interested in my proposal for Wikipedia use logo variations created by members of the wiki community to mark national and international awareness days, Remembrance Days, notable anniversaries, and observance days. Please comment on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Logo Variations and on my talk page. Thanks! frummer 03:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
