[edit] SHABAS

The following is copied from Portal talk:Israel as I think it is more relevant here. (Or maybe it should be going straight into the to do list without discussion.) jnothman talk 01:01, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm posting this here since I don't think it will get much attention on WP:RA. Basically there is still no article on the prison service, SHABAS, and I think that's pretty bad. It's possibly the most important Israel-related article that still doesn't exist. The other one being Education Minister of Israel (there is a Finance Minister of Israel even though there's nothing about the ministry itself). I don't think many Wikipedians work for SHABAS, or there would've been something, but anyone who knows anything about the prison service, please create an article; it would be greatly appreciated. -- Y Ynhockey || Talk Y 07:56, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You can also take information from he:שירות בתי הסוהר.

[edit] Better hatred

Are you tired of all those ill-designed racist and/or religious hatred sites accusing Jews of conspiring with God-knows-who-or-what to spill innoscent Gentile blood? You too? Well, it is my pleasure to present you an incredibly well-designed racist and/or religious hatred site accusing Jews of conspiring with God-knows-who-or-what to spill innoscent Gentile blood! Behold holywar.org! -- Heptor talk 19:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Idi Amin

I have some questions concerning some information that was added to the Idi Amin article on the polish wikipedia. Some annonymous guy claims that Idi Amin made an official visit to Israel and was awarded an Israeli paratrooper badge/award. He also claims that the Israeli goverment suppoprted the "early" regime of Idi Amin. I was unable to confirm or deny any of these claims. Can you help? Mieciu K 11:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

True, if you check out the english site Idi Amin, you can see his paratrooper wings on the portrait appearing on the money. --Shuki 13:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
I see a paratrooper badge (ugandan, british or israeli?) but I still do not know when and how he got it and who gave it to him. Mieciu K 16:50, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Standard naming scheme

[edit] Some articles that can be translated

Here's a short list of articles about people which don't exist on EnWiki yet, but do on HeWiki:

[edit] Help with translations

I'm currently working on a script intended to create short articles on political parties on a variety of wikipedias simultaneously. However, in order for the technique to work I need help with translations to various languages. If you know any of the languages listed at User:Soman/Lang-Help , then please help by filling in the blanks. For example I need help with Hebrew. Thanks, --Soman 12:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New template for articles needing Hebrew script

I have created a new template {{Hebrew script}}, to tag any articles about a place, name, or concept originally written in the Hebrew alphabet, but which does not include that version in the article. It adds these articles automatically to Category:Articles needing Hebrew script, where people knowledgeable in Hebrew can sort them out. The idea was based on {{Arabic}}.

[edit] Jewish WIKIVERSITY

NEW: On Wikiversity there is now a "Jewish Studies School." Will it become a "duplication" of many things on Wikipedia? What should it's goals and functions be? Please add your learned views. Thank you. IZAK 09:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jew Year's Eve

There is an article up for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jew Year's Eve which describes a social event claimed to take place in many cities the day before Erev Rosh Hashanah. Someone has posted some sources to back up the claims of the article but they are all in Hebrew:

Could a Hebrew-speaking person look these up and comment at the AfD as to whether they support the accuracy of the Jew Year's Eve article? Thanks! --Metropolitan90 03:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Article deleted. It's too bad some people tried to make it personal and try to make the discussion into the legitimacy of the event in question. --Shuki 20:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hatikva

Hello. I went to this page and based from what I read at [3], the title might be wrong. I was wonder how you guys determined the spelling of the article title and if it should be moved or not. Thanks. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 19:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revisionist Zionism

Talk:Revisionist Zionism#Removed cited material: Can someone understand what is going on here? Amoruso's explanations are doing nothing to alleviate my confusion. I tried contacting Zero who, like me, is a very experienced Wikipedian who is active on that page, and he replied, "'Fraid there's nothing to understand. Amoruso is here as a self-appointed representative of Etzel and Lehi. He is not interested in Wikipedia rules or processes."

I'm not particularly interested in staring into Amoruso's soul. I'm interested in understanding the purported reason for the removal of material. It seems to me that significant, well-cited information has been removed from the article. People are allowed to hold opinions, even extreme opinions, even repellent opinions, and remain active in Wikipedia. But it does not exempt them from the usual rules about editing articles. He has removed material that appeared to me to be well cited. He has given what at least has the form of a rationale doing so, but I literally don't understand his stated rationale. I'm not that interested in his deep motivations: I'm interested in whether the stated rationale is comprehensible to someone; I'm assuming good faith, but I've given up on his ability to explain his rationale in terms I will understand. Can someone here make sense of this and help sort this out? Thanks in advance. - Jmabel | Talk 16:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zaki, Israel

Could someone take a look on notability of this person? It is currently on {{PROD}}. It should be also renamed. Pavel Vozenilek 13:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

The DYK section featured on the main page is always looking for interesting new and recently expanded stubs from different parts of the world. Please make a suggestion.--Peta 02:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yemach shemo vezichro

Could someone take a look on this newly created page about a Hebrew expression? Pavel Vozenilek 17:19, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help on Palestine Communist Party

I'm trying to expand the section on the early history of the PKP, but at this point I'm just getting more and more confused. I've encountered 2 separate sources, with somewhat contradicting info. In Early Communism in Palestine, Fred Halliday, Journal of Palestine Studies, Vol. 7, No. 2 (Winter, 1978), pp. 162-169, the following picture is presented:

  • MPS formed in 1919
  • MPS becomes MPSI (what would have been the full name of MPSI?)
  • MPSI becomes Jewish Communist Party in 1921
  • Jewish Communist Party splits in 1922, PKP and CPP are formed
  • PKP and CPP unite in 1923

In The Palestine Communist Party 1919 - 1948, Joel Beinen, MERIP Reports, No. 55 (Mar., 1977), pp. 3-17, doi:10.2307/3010830, there is a somewhat different picture. MPS gives birth to PKP in 1922 (no mention on MPSI or Jewish Communist Party). Minority leaves PKP at its founding congress, in 1923 there is reunification.

Would there have been any connection between the Jewish Communist Party in Palestine and the Jewish Communist Party in Russia at the same time? (for example sections of the same international structure?)

Any clarifications on this would be welcome. --Soman 19:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
