[edit] Proposed Deletion

None of the other articles for Ramah Camps have been proposed for deletion. Why was this one singled out. Either it should not be deleted, or it should be, but togethr with the other similar articles. JMack 02:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

Sorry, I nominated under wrong criteria. It should be A1 (Little or no context) not A7 (Non-notable). I belive it is notable, however at it's current level it is not worth keeping as the content provides no more information in the title. You could provide as much information using the line "Camp Ramah in the Poconos" rather than an entire article. If the article is expanded, then this is no longer valid, however it is not stub quality as of yet. Matt - TheFearow 03:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Great Work

Great work guys, now this is a great article, with usefull information. Consider all my previous reasons for deletion invalid. Way to go ;) Matt - TheFearow 01:47, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] more content!

This article needs more content! Given that I'm spending another summer (my 19th at Poconos), I'll do my best to flesh things out and snap some more photos. Also, the Kesher program died shortly after the new director came into office. --yonkeltron 21:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I think I may have been the one who first put in the Kesher program. I think that it should be deleted now, or perhpas made just one sentence, and put in a miscellaneous section. Since it is discontinued, it doesn't deserve the prominence in the article that it used to have. IMHO. Thoughts?--Epeefleche 01:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Possibly...but there have been many programs (Family camp, Shabbat plus, etc.) canceled since Cheryl Magen stepped down. Perhaps a section full of discontinued and former programs should be included...also, we should def have a section on camp leadership where we list the former directors and their accomplishments. It'd be the perfect spot to have some information about Rabbi David Mogilner, Eli Havivi and others. I'll try to snap some photos this summer...any other ideas? --yonkeltron 18:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Possible, but I'm just concerned that this primarily represent the camp as it is now. Rather than a graveyard of canceled camp programs. Perhaps this is more than anything a matter of relative sizel. Camp leadership, etc., sounds fine. Eli Havivi -- he still around? Wow. Enjoy the summer.--Epeefleche 18:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

You might be interested in looking at the articles on the other Ramah camps. Not that they need all be the same, or follow the same template, but there may be sections in some of those -- for example, the names of the eidot, that might well be appropriate in this article as well, if you know them and have the time to input them. Just a thought. --Epeefleche 18:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eidot or Edot?

See (and join) the discussion on the Camp Ramah talk page on this issue.

Someone who has good reason for one form of transliteration over the other might make the appropriate change across all the Camp Ramah articles. Right now they differ, and people are RVing each other (as on the Camp Ramah in California article page).

Right now Camp Ramah publications use both forms of transliteration. For example, eidah is used at [1], [2], and [3]. But edah is used at [4], [5], and [6].--Epeefleche 21:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] i went

i went 2 camp ramah. it was a great experience. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.112.207 (talk) 01:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Carol Burnett?

Why is there a link to Carol Burnett in the See Also section? There's no other reference to her in the article, and no reference to the camp in her article, either. --Rpresser 19:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
