Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel

Shalom HG: Please contact User:Humus sapiens who wishes to start a Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel See his request below. Thanks IZAK 07:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi IZAK (and everyone else here :), Do you think it's time to create Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel similar to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/India, Wikipedia:Wikiportal/New Zealand and other Category:Wikiportals? I'm writing this here because it was you who made those wonderful templates and we don't have a portal yet where we could communicate. What do you think? ←Humus sapiens←Talk 05:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Hi Humus, it's only me here, but I will pass your message on to "everyone". Yes, your suggestion is excellent, it is certainly time for what you describe, but I have no experience with Wikipedia portals, and if you know how, go ahead and start an Israel portal and I am sure editors of Israel-related articles will support you and join in the effort/s. Behatzlachah. IZAK 05:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi HG, consider youself invited to WP:WNBI, spread the word. ←Humus sapiens←Talk 09:34, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Smoking

Hello HG!

1. I changed the headings. Hope it's the way you like it. By the way: == on either side makes it a main heading, === a sub-heading, and = a main heading that's extra large (so as to catch everyone's attention). :-)

2. I have no idea about the symbols; they're just meaningful stuff that the computer has converted to what seems to most people as gibberish.

3. You can contact anyone without hesitation. Just be polite (as you obviously are)!

4. Maybe Smoking in Judaism would be a good title. Ask around (you can commonly find out who interested users are by scanning talk pages of various Judaism-related articles. It may also be a way to find out who you'd like to gravitate towards and who you'd like to... not gravitate towards).

By the way, a good way to become familiar with formatting is by looking at well formatted pages in edit-mode (or whatever it should be called when you click on edit this page) and seeing what was typed by editors to get a desired result.

I'm also fairly new at Wikipedia. (Just a tip: Figure out what your goals are in editing, and don't waste time on any other addictive attractions on Wikipedia. Don't let it rule your life!). ;-)

Never a bother. Kol Tuv. HKT 05:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

By the way, I think the symbols might indicate foreign letters (e.g. Hebrew). HKT

Original research

Hi, HG.

Did you mean that you want to contribute original research within Wikipedia or elsewhere? If you mean within Wikipedia, I'm not sure what type of research you would like to contribute, but it might be a good idea to see the article No original research for guidelines on what you should contribute. (The name of the no original research policy may be a bit misleading; some of what you might call "original research" would be acceptable). HKT 20:27, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Category:Hebrew Bible verses

Hello HG: See the verses in Category:Hebrew Bible verses with the two samples so far: Genesis 1:1, and Genesis 1:2. Is this the way the Torah verses should be "presented"? (Compare with the verses in Category:New Testament verses.) At what point should the classical teachings of famous meforshim be inserted, and in what way and how much? The time to decide on this is now, because at this stage the "project" is still being "formed" by User:Neutrality alone. Thank you. IZAK 02:50, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Email?

Hi HG, do you have an Email address? Why not enter it on your private settings page (that way no-one will know your Email) and you can receive Emails when people (like me) want to send you an Email via Wikipedia by clicking on your "E-mail this user" in the "toolbox" (left)! Best wishes, IZAK 23:34, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gamliel

Hi HG: Would you like to add to the article Gamliel please? Thank you. IZAK 09:26, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Orthodox Rabbinical Biography Collaboration of the Week

Hi HG, thanks for voting in the Collaboration of the Week. If you have any skill at making templates, perhaps you could design some for the Orthodox Rabbinical Biography Collaboration of the Week. With thanks, Nesher 16:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for voting in the Orthodox Rabbinical Biography Collaboration of the Week. Why don't you also come and help edit the current collboboration, which this week is Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg? Also, you can vote for and nominate other candidates as well.
