[edit] Category addition

Vulturell, you added this page to a British Jews category. Could you say what your source for that is please? SlimVirgin (talk) 22:39, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

"The collection was built up by the financier Ernest Cassel, who was born into a poor Jewish family in Germany in 1852, arrived in Liverpool in 1869 with a violin and a small bundle of clothes, and by the time of his death in 1921 was one of the richest men in Europe.

He was a friend and adviser to the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, and was such a regular visitor to royal homes that he was nicknamed "Windsor Cassel". A large part of his collection was inherited by his granddaughter, Edwina Mountbatten, and has remained in the family since.

And "Lastly, note that there were a number of European Jews who lived, or settled in India. Some examples: Lady Mountbatten, and Haffkine, after whom the famous Haffkine Institute in Bombay (Mumbai) has been named. The mother of one of India's most glamorous film actresses, Zeenat Aman is said to be Jewish." http://www.shamash.org/lists/scj-faq/HTML/faq/13-09.html

She doesn't have to be 100% Jewish (and isn't) to be under "Jewish-British people". Vulturell 22:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

You have to produce a source saying she was a Jew. Adding her to that category just because she had one Jewish grandparent is misleading and an example original research, which you've been asked elsewhere to stop. You're now engaged in disruptive editing. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
What are you talking about? "note that there were a number of European Jews who lived, or settled in India. Some examples: Lady Mountbatten," Can you read? Please? Vulturell 22:54, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Is this the only Lady Mountbatten it could be? SlimVirgin (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes.Vulturell 23:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
