[edit] A missing word

In Controversy, line 6, there is a missing word (between 'a' and 'in'). I'm not quite sure what it is from the context, can someone please fill in the void? Thanks. -- Y Ynhockey || Talk Y 14:40, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I added the word "building". I hope it's correct. -- PFHLai 14:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
yes, thanks! It is so cool to see people fixing the page I started and making it better. This is my first Wikipedia entry--what a great experience. elizmr 16:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] A few wikipedians express opinions

This is very disturbing--with so many wealthy Jewsih people, especially in the US and the UK, and so many religious (and otherwise) philanthropies devoted to Jewish and humanitarian causes, there should be no problem with helping buy and build a new building, and even perhaps paying for a bus and driver, to get the elderly congregation to the new synagogue.

Of course there is anti-Semitism involved in this matter, but what can you do. Perhaps those Jews remaining in Tajikistan, should have fled to Israel or gotten asylum (not difficult under their circumstances) in the US or Canada. Trafalgar007 23:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

How can you say that they should have fled to Israel or gotten aslyum? I agree that those are completely reasonable options, but no one should have to leave their home country in order to live normal lives. I'm sure that a substantial amount of money will be donated to rebuild, but that doesn't change the fact that a government has wrongfully destroyed the original building. -Bottesini 23:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Discussion about whether or not opinions should be included on discussion pages

Hi Trafalgar. I am new to Wikipedia, but I think these talk pages are intended to discuss Wikipedia content in the sense of whether or not it should be included, if it is accurate, if it is cited correctly, etc. This comment above is more in the sense of how you feel or analyze the event and I don't think it belongs on this particular page. elizmr 23:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I think that in the Talk pages, anybody can comment on ANYTHING he/she likes.--AAAAA 12:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Nope AAAA, that isn't true. Wikipedia is NOT a soapbox. This page is for discussion of how to improve the article. Welcome to Wikipedia. Feel free to put your views on your user page. Maustrauser 13:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
True, though it's pretty easy in my observation to discuss opinions that other notable people or organizations have or facts with the sincere intent of adding, keeping, removing, rewording, atttributing etc. content in the article. TransUtopian 14:28, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] are the dates overlinked?

I'm pasting this from a discussion on a user page I had with bobblewik after he had taken out a bunch of date links and labeled "MoS". The links were revered by another editor.

Thanks for collaborating on the Dushanbe synagogue page. I noticed you make some edits characterized as above, but I don't know what it means. These were subsequently reverted, but please explain if you could. elizmr 17:48, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, it is a nerdy abbreviation for Manual of style. The guidance on when date links is at:
       Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context
       Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)
       Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)
If you like what I did, you can always reset the article back that way. If you don't like what I did, then so be it. I hope those references help explain it for you. bobblewik 17:55, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I am pasting this here to remind me and anyone else who wishes to do so to read the style sheets and think about links appropriately. elizmr 18:37, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
