Reviews

  • I'm out of time here today, so I'll just comment briefly--I've reviewed more of your edits and comments than I was aware existed today, and, without meaning any condescension, ח"ו, I'm pleased with what I perceive as your excellent "growth" as a wikipedian since our first interaction...As I recall, there were some pretty rough waters when you first started editing, and, at least in my view, you've "learned the ropes" of getting through contentious issues to hash out consensus, on more than a few occasions. :-) So, all of that to say, "good work", and i"yH, we've only seen just the beginning :-) kol tov, Tomertalk 23:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I am impressed by both Shira's knowledge and composure. Even here she honestly admits some early long-forgotten mishaps - something all of us have been through (and that's why we have the rule WP:BITE). She has earned my utmost respect. Good job. ←Humus sapiens ну? 03:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I have the following semi-rhetorical questions (they should go in the Questions section, but Shirahadasha has insisted I place them here instead). --User talk:FDuffy 14:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
    1. Why do you think I used the website of some random minor Rabbi as the source for a significant view, when I clearly state in several places that the Jewish Encyclopedia is the source. I hadn't even heard the name of the Rabbi, or of his website, until you mentioned it, so I would like to know why you jumped to that conclusion?
    2. More generally, do you jump to conclusions often, or, on most occasions, do you carefully check your opinion with the facts first?
    3. A reference tag (<ref>....</ref>) in an article gives the source for an assertion; you delete the assertion saying that the source is not given in the article (and that the source is given elsewhere, and is something completely different to the one within the reference tag). Did you read the reference tag? Did you in fact delete it simply because it supported a stance different to your own?
  • Review for you, since I'm sitting at home with nothing else to do. ( :) ) You're looking pretty good, at least as far as your editing statistics, and kudos for keeping a reasonable spread between the various namespaces. You should probably try to increase your communication with other users in the User Talk space, although your involvement in Article Talk pages looks pretty good. I know nothing of the problems the others have mentioned, so I won't comment, although I will congratulate on your improvement from earlier mistakes like your first article.

  • Generally impressed about how Shirahadasha evolved from a single-issue editor into a veritable fountain of general knowledge on Judaism. Knows how to tell useful material from sheer garbage, and how to address difficult situations. Would love to cooperate on more articles together. JFW | T@lk 10:10, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Questions

  1. Of your contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
    Contributions on Role of women in Judaism and related topics Jewish feminism, Rachel Adler, and more), Jewish services, Amidah, Temple in Jerusalem, The Third Temple, Birkat HaMazon, Korban, and many more.
  2. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
    I've dealt with a variety of controversial topics including Temple in Jerusalem, Partnership minyan, Jews for Jesus, Role of women in Judaism, and others. My first attempt at an article was deleted. I believe I started somewhat imperfectly and have improved in Wikipedia policies and wiki skills over the past months.

[edit] Hi there, Hirahadasha

Excuse me if I am in the wrong page. I have worked hard and don't know if it is the right way. May you let me know, please? I remember you that this is the first article (Revelation) I'm working in. Thank you for your help.--Elianita 03:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


It's me, again. Thank you, and excuse me for being, once again, in the wrong page. I cannot find de right one! I would like you to tell me if I'm doing well or not. I've pasted any material that I think is related with the subject, thinking that 'better much more than less' (or whatever you [English] say it), and that you, (wikipedians, English Speakers, may resume or do what is needed), can select what you mean is appropriate, or more accurate. Cheers.--Elianita 21:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
