[edit] Your edit to Partnership minyan

Hello! A couple of questions about your recent edit: (1) Would you know if the JOFA conference paper cited is published anywhere? (2) Could you do us a favor and identify the sentence in the newspaper article cited that says the paper is the first to articulate methodology, ideology, etc? We're having a bit of difficulty locating the source for this statement. You could add the quote to the article if you'd like. Thanks so much! Best, --Shirahadasha 19:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Wikipedia's Attribution policy and Notability guideline require that in order to be included in Wikipedia, topics must have been described in multiple published articles in reliable sources such as peer-reviewed publications or mainstream news media. The edit you added, which contains a claim that an unpublished paper is the first paper to describe these minyanim in detail, has caused some editors to suggest that this claim is evidence that the topic of Partnership minyanim fails to meet Wikipedia's Notability criteria and accordingly have suggested that the Partnership minyan article should be deleted. If you have an opinion on this matter please enter the discussion at Talk:Partnership minyan#Notability. Thanks, --Shirahadasha 21:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Another user, user:140.247.10.136, deleted this material after some clarifying edits were made and it was assigned to an article section. I reverted the delete because ordinarily Wikipedia requires discussion before deleting whose sections of articles without explanation or discussion. However, I understand that both you and this user are operating out of IP addresses from a network on Harvard University. If you are the same person as the one who deleted the material, and you simply happen to be assigned different IP addresses by Harvard's network at different times, could indicate this? As the author of the edits you'd generally be entitled to delete your own edits if you don't want them made for some reason. To avoid being treated as multiple separate people in the future, I'd suggest registering a userid and logging on before making edits. This would enable you to be identified in a consistent way. If you wish to remain anonymous, it's very possible to do this, you can use a userid that has nothing to do with your real name and you don't have to publish your real email address.
