There are a few of us around. You could take a look at Category:Jewish Wikipedians, but even most of those who declare it on their user page aren't listed there. I've chosen not to list myself under Category:Orthodox Jewish Wikipedians as I'd rather not separate there. Another place to find Jews and Jewish topics is at WikiProject Judaism which focuses on religion / halacha / etc, and WikiProject Jewish culture which focuses on, well, Jewish culture and related topics.

Welcome aboard!

(You might want to take a look at the welcome material as well.)

 * PS: Is your username your personal name? I've never heard it before. Is it "אֵשׁ אֵל" or "אֶשֶׁל" or something entirely different? jnothman talk 02:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * No, but I went to a camp called Camp Aishel, which was for special needs. One of the meanings of aishel is taking care of people, be it by giving them food, drink, or lodging.  Also, as a future occupational therapist, thats one of the things I strive to do...help people.  So I thought it was a very appropriate name. --aishel 02:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * . ויטע אשל, בבאר שבע. That meaning is an allusion to the commentaries on this verse. I think Rashi says upon that verse "achila, shtia, lina". jnothman talk 02:33, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Check out the wikipedia article I wrote on aishel :-D --aishel 02:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)


 * It's nice, but a couple of things about Wikipedia articles in general:
 * Wikipedia isn't a dictionary, and this article could be seen as a mere dictionary definition, although it borders on giving encyclopedic knowledge.
 * The word could be spelt "eshel", "eishel", and if that is common enough, we should create redirect|redirects from these names to the article.
 * I hope it isn't copied verbatim from the Stone Chumash. I don't think that's the appropriate way to cite it, rather the Stone Chumash should be listed under references, as the linked page doesn't contain the information. Either way, you need to rewrite the content and can't copy it.
 * I actually am of the opinion that this is the sort of topic that should not have its own article. No one would expect to look up the topic of "eshel" in an encyclopedia. Where it should be (and I would push this to be the result of an AFD if this was selected for AFD) is merged into the Abraham article (which is fairly messy and long) in a section under "Abraham in Judaism" that talks about Abraham's characterisation in Judaism, particularly on hospitality, where the commentary on the planting of the eshel could be used to explain the characterisation. jnothman talk 03:05, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think the image can be used. It looks like it really is copywrited.  But thanks for looking into it! --aishel 00:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

ADLs
Good work on cleaning-up the activities of daily living article. :) Nephron T|C 04:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Why thank you! :) --aishel 05:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Activity of daily living - references
My usually approach is copy and paste the reference from PubMed, as that is the fastest and easiest. I changed the ref. 'cause I was doing that-- I copied and pasted.

As for how you referenced it-- it wasn't that much different. That said, personally, I think the year of publication ought to be there as should the PMID (if it is from a PubMed listed journal).

There is a guideline/policy for references WP:REF-- really that ought to be followed. AFAIK the specific format (i.e. order doesn't really matter). Nephron T|C 04:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I didn't really answer the question... Does that make any difference vs. the Wikipedia standards? -- I'd go with the Wikipedia standard (which isn't defined that well) over what the journal says. That is what I have done in the past with the journal called Postgraduate Medicine 'cause I thought their suggested format wasn't that great.  As I said above--I think the PMID (& PMID link) should be there as should the year.  Aside from that I think the note about the Errata is useful. Nephron  T|C 05:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Hashkafahscreenshot.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Hashkafahscreenshot.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 12:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know. It can be deleted, as the articled that used the screenshot has been deleted. --aishel 13:01, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Aishel, great to find another occupational therapist on Wikipedia. Very impressed with your contributions. I started in 2023 so I am a newbie - enjoying all the learning.
