Hi there, and welcome to the 'pedia! You may want to choose a new username, since we have a policy against those which can be considered offensive, and "PhatJew" may be one of those. You could also provide a rationale on your user page if you want to keep it. --Eloquence 05:48 25 May 2003 (UTC)

Heh. There's nothing wrong with being fat either. Thanks for providing an explanation - language is a funny thing - motives often make a big difference... Martin 22:38 5 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] BC/AD versus BCE/CE

There's a discussion and a vote on this topic going on at Talk:Jesus#Reversions & Consensus on BCE/AD; I thought you might be interested. Jayjg (talk) 17:44, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel

Hello: Please contact User:Humus sapiens who wishes to start a Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Israel See his request below. Thanks IZAK 06:31, 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)

[edit] Alternative claims of Jew, Judaism and Israelite and Alternative Judaism

User:Sirkumsize is suggesting these articles should be merged with Jewish denominations; I thought you might want to comment. Jayjg (talk) 21:05, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Radiocarbon dating

It sounds like the primary caretakers of the page accepted a mention of Creationism as regards carbon dating. So far talk page discussion seems to be going appropriately. I'd say that while controversy over a scientific practice should be included, it by no means should overpower the article or be misproportionate to its notability or effect on the topic in the world. And unless there is a noteworthy, deletion-safe article specifically about Creationism's crusade against carbon dating, more links are not warranted. In any case, your next step would be to refer the question to WP:RFC or WP:3O for outside input. - Keith D. Tyler 18:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chabad link in Minyan Article

Hello, PhatJew, I would appreciate your comments/opinions in the debate I am having with PinchasC here: Talk:Minyan#External_Links. Thank you. -- Avi 17:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please watch Nightline tonight, Feb. 15

Nightline is going to report on the "Saddam Tapes."

Reportedly armed with 12 hours of Saddam Hussein's audio recordings, the organizers of an upcoming "Intelligence Summit" are describing the tapes as the "smoking gun evidence" that the Iraqi dictator possessed weapons of mass destruction in the period leading up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has already authenticated the tapes. These are the same tapes mentioned in Duelfer's Report that had not been translated at the time of the report. For some reason, the tapes were released through a very unusual manner - possibly because some in the intelligence community did not want the truth to come out. Read news story here.

[edit] Succesion boxes

See King_Solomon for how a split is handled by succession boxes. Every lineage has splits and regroupings. Even Governor of New Jersey; Pope; King of Egypt; President of the US (split in the Civil War). The box allows you to see just the bit you need to navigate. The long columns of family-tree like charts are to complex and take up too much space when included with every biography, thats why we created the boxes. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 21:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, maybe when I have time, I will go through and fill in all the missing people in the succession line. I think the boxes will get unwieldy at times, though. Especially when we are talking about the Maggid. He was arguably succeeded by at least 5 different people. PhatJew 21:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Midian et. al

Hello, PhatJew. I would like your opinion and feedback regarding a discussion I am having with Briangotts here about various categories including Cat:Midian and Cat:Edom. This issue is whether the categories themselves should be subcategories of Cat:Torah people and Cat:Torah places, or whether just the articles which actually are about Cat:Torah people, such as the parent article Edom and Esau, should be tagged. Further explanation and a place to both voice your opinion and vote may be found on the talk page of Category:Midian. Thank you for your time and input. -- Avi 19:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
