New York City Meetup


Next: Sunday March 16th, Columbia University area
Last: 1/13/2008
This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates.
This has been an automated delivery because you were on the invite list. BrownBot (talk) 03:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


My RfA

Image:David,larry.JPG My RFA
Thank you muchly for your support in my recent request for adminship, which was successfully closed on 76%, finishing at 73 supports, 23 opposes and 1 neutral. The supports were wonderful, and I will keep in mind the points made in the useful opposes and try to suppress the Larry David in me! Now I'm off to issue some cool down blocks, just to get my money's worth!

Kidding btw. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 11:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Australia Youth Conference

and it's infinite incarnations. I just reverted to your version after re-directing another re-creation of the page back to the one you created following the AfD and merge. I think I got your cleanest version but if I missed something, please feel free to sweep up after me. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 22:09, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I just wanted you to know I wasn't reverting but rather restoring your change after the content forked out to become yet another incarnation of the page. It was just meant as an FYI. Sorry brain in two places and not clear in either. TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 22:22, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

nice!

Just had to say, AWESOME user name--Pewwer42  Talk  05:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, thanks. I was able to claim it off the scrap heap last June via WP:USURP. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 05:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Shalom, and Thanks for the tweaking of the Times Square bombing article. Additional contributions would be welcome.

I noticed that you are interested in the geography of Israel. I read that there been, over two thousand years ago, a waterway connection from the Mediterranean Sea, through northern Israel, passing to the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. Are you familiar with more details with this? (I had embellished some wikipedia article on a valley in northern Israel that had been that waterway in the past, but I can't remember the name of the valley.) Cheers, Dogru144 (talk) 05:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Waterway

The idea of a canal is interesting. Actually, my understanding was that this waterway was a naturally-created water connection [i.e., river] between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Galilee. Dogru144 (talk) 05:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for checking into the possibility of a Hebrew site on the matter. I should probably do more conventional research. I'm probably going to sign off now -gotta get up early for work. Dogru144 (talk) 05:52, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

My RfB

I wanted to personally thank you, Shalom, for your support in my recent RfB. I am thankful and appreciative that you feel that I am worthy of the trust the community requires of its bureaucrats, and I hope to continue to behave in a way that maintains your trust in me and my actions. I have heard the community's voice that they require more of a presence at RfA's of prospective bureaucrats, and I will do my best over the near future to demonstrate such a presence and allow the community to see my philosophy and practices in action. I hope I can continue to count on your support when I decide to once again undergo an RfB. If you have any suggestions, comments, or constructive criticisms, please let me know via talkpage or e-mail. Thank you again. -- Avi (talk) 15:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Keren Tendler

Hi, sorry for a 2nd intrustion, but I was hoping you could help me with a stub I just cleaned up. I found Keren Tendler while working through the backlog. A quick Google search seemed to make it apparent that she was notable due to her role as first female flight mechanic, whereas I think first woman to die in combat since 1973 probably heads toward WP:MEMORIAL/WP:NOTNEWS/WP:ONEEVENT. As I'm not familiar with Israeli military, I'm not too sure and was hoping you might have some insight or know someone who might through your Wiki work. Thanks! TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 16:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for reverting the troll on my user talk page last week: I should have said thanks before now. Best wishes, RobertG ♬ talk 13:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Obligatory RfB thankspam will come later, but for now I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. I hope you're holding up well, and I think it's a very nice gesture to dedicate your work to his/her memory. Take good care of yourself, ~ Riana ⁂ 14:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Editing

So we have to be a licensed to be able to edit a page or paragraph? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.230.2.190 (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks Shalom, That would be alot easier than making the manual edits. I was unable to fix the 2nd error because you locked me out. I am glad you fixed it though.... Peace EERattler —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eerattler (talk • contribs) 16:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Near Yokne'am Junction

Shabbat Shalom, Shalom! When you're back, please could you help me out? I stayed once at a kibbutz close to Yokne'am Junction. Can't for the life of me remember its name! It's just off a fairly busy road and I know it has a computer (software development?) business going, as I recall, and the usual little factories (might have been injection-moulded type, might not have been...). Ok, much more of this won't make any difference but if you have any suggestions off the top of your head or top of your reference stacks, I'd be ever so grateful. It was a nice place to stay and I'd like to check out an old friend who is now a member. Thanks, mate Plutonium27 (talk) 16:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

dyk well done re Hillel Yaffe Medical Center

Updated DYK query On 15 March 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hillel Yaffe Medical Center, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

User:Shalom/Drafts and archives/Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Sockpuppet tagging

You have some nerve. You start a draft for an RFC in order for me and everyone else on this project to to "[dis]continue this practice [tagging] in the future". IMHO, your not going to convience anyone since it's your accounts that were blocked and your userpages that were tagged. — Κaiba 18:17, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

There is a lot to cleanup in the three offshoot articles from the first one that they all came from - Aboriginal history of Western Australia - thanks for your help SatuSuro 03:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Ibn Ezra

Shalom Shalom, there were some letters (q,kh,) designed all by the same nonreadable sign ₳ or there is a secret I don't know and people could read it and I had to ask you before.Cpt.schoener (talk) 21:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC) Thank you, Yechiel, for the explanation, it really was a mistery for me. Nice to meet you.Cpt.schoener (talk) 21:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

You already have a lot of thanks on here; but I thought I would thank you anyway for your welcome! Keep up the hard work - it's an important job! JNSQ (talk) 22:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Done

Re-deleted. The only reason I tagged it as a sockpuppet of Molag Bal several months ago was because I found the account in the history of User:Molag Bal and assumed it was a sock of him. Regarding the restoration, that was done because I thought the deletion had been done by mistake, as I thought that a vandal had blanked the page. I apologize if this has caused you any trouble. Acalamari 15:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, and I'm glad my explanation was satisfactory. Acalamari 15:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Upper Galilee valley again

Hi and Shalom,

Here are some of the links that I thought

that you'd find interesting and pertaining to our present discussion.

Beit HaKerem has an intertestiong diambiuatiove;

and also, you might be interested in Upper Galilee valley.Dogru144 (talk) 23:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Israel articles

Hi Shalom. Sorry to hear you're leaving, even if it is for a short while - may I enquire why? Anyway, as you may have seen if you've checked my contributions recently, I have been going through all the articles on kibbutzim to clean them up. I guess once I reach the end of that I may start creating articles on the ones that don't have them yet, as well as stuff like Moshavim Movement or the Three lookouts. пﮟოьεԻ 57 16:28, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

You did it!

Shalom, I don't know what to say. If there were a barnstar for defending the falsely accused, I'd award you one. I was so stunned and outraged at having been mistaken for a sock puppet that I didn't know how to proceed. You stepped in to provide the calm and skilled investigation that was required; your selfless advocacy has cleared my name. Thank you.

(Edit: I just checked your barnstars, and noticed you hadn't yet been awarded the Barnstar of Peace. Well, you have now!) CreepyCrawly (talk) 20:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
