From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Talmud, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Thanks.

You do not seem to grasp what "original research means."

FOR EXAMPLE, under the TALMUD, I ADDED THE CLARIFICATION "(known to Christians as the Old Testament)" to the sentence

Originally, Jewish scholarship was oral. Rabbis expounded and debated the law and discussed the Tanakh (known to Christians as the Old Testament)

and you objected to that as "original research."

DUDE... the entire concept of Wikipedia is that everyone adds content. That is the whole purpose of Wikipedia. If you are going to object to any new content to a Wikipedia article, then you just don't get the entire concept of Wikipedia.

The more sinister possibility is that you are intentionally using "original research" as a bogus reason to object to changes of others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.212.99.235 (talk) 21:47, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but content inserted into Wikipedia does have to comply with Wikipedia policies. Please take a moment to read them. (See Wikipedia:Policies.) Here's an example of something you inserted that violates the No Original Research policy:

[the Talmud...]whose purpose is to study and better understand the Torah (Bible). The Talmud has been most often understood as commentary on the Bible, while the Bible is the supreme authority.

Please take a momment once again to read our policies. Hope this helps. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 22:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
