Questions for you on "Hasmonean royal winter palaces"
"This is the most important archaeological site to have survived from that period in Jewish history."


 * I assume this means from the period of King Herod (needs to be clear on this).
 * The identification of this site as "most important archeological site" has no context. This should either be sourced or reworded -- is it the biggest/most expansive area found to date? Etc. Needs clarification.

"After excavation of the palace, it was covered over." Covered over with what? A tarp? A museum? Sand? --Agamemnus (talk) 18:16, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I edited accordingly. As for the unsourced claim of importance, it was added by user User:Gilabrand - ask them for a source. Ar2332 (talk) 22:35, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Merger of two articles treating on the exact same place

 * Actually, the merger that we requested for Beit Zakariah and Az-Zakariyya is a different merger than the one that you thought about. We are not talking about the old merger, which indeed are two different articles. If you browse further down this Talk-Page on Az-Zakariyya you'll see that we are referring to a different merger, one that involves two articles about the exact same place.Davidbena (talk) 00:21, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Hannopil
Hi, I'm Boleyn. Ar2332, thanks for creating Hannopil!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This has been tagged for several issues, the most important that it has no references verifying its information. It is at risk of being tagged for deletion.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Esau
I reverted a recent edit of yours to Esau:
 * Since Esau's descendants (the nation of Edom) were in rabbinic literature identified with Rome, this tradition may reflect the idea that the intellectual accomplishments (the "head") of Greece and Rome could be incorporated into Judaism, but not their allegedly immoral and promiscuous cultures (the "body").

because it looks to me like WP: Original research. That's because it does not cite any sources. I am in no position to question the accuracy of your statement, but it does require citation of a WP:Reliable source.--Quisqualis (talk) 21:15, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Copied text at Shimon bar Yochai
Hi, It is permitted to copy text from public domain sources like the Jewish Encyclopedia, but you must label it with that source. You can't just copy text and sources from an intermediate source without identifying the intermediate source. See WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT. Please adhere to this principle, as readers need to be able to trace the text in our article back to a reliable source that confirms it. Zerotalk 12:42, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Elisha ben Abuyah
I don't think you understand the problem. The article quotes from the English-language Jewish Encyclopedia. There is no reason on earth to change it, unless you found that it was misquoted. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 11:48, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, Jewish Encyclopedia (JE) is one source, but Sefaria's translation (published elsewhere as Steinsaltz/Koren) is another source. I don't either one has a presumption of being more accurate than the other (and many other translations exist which translate similar to Sefaria not JE, lending credence to Sefaria's translation). And a glance at the original Hebrew, or even a comparison of the JE translation to the Sefaria translation, makes clear that JE is not a translation but a paraphrase. I'm sure JE had its reasons to paraphrase (for example, to save paper), but I don't see how they apply in the context of Wikipedia. If you prefer JE's phrase "destroyed the plants" to "chopped down the saplings", I can accept that. But the ellipses are necessary for it to be an accurate translation. Ar2332 (talk) 12:09, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm specifically referring to the paragraph in the section titled "The Four Who Entered The Paredes" that starts with "Ginzberg comments that". Beginning in the second sentence of that paragraph, where it says the Jerusalem Talmud "makes no mention", every word from "makes no mention" through the end of the paragraph is a quote from the Jewish Encyclopedia article about Elisha. There is no reason why you should change it, even if you think Ginsberg was wrong or that his translation stinks. We don't change quotations of other people's words. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 12:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires attribution
In the future, please add attribution when copying from public domain source. I have done so for the above article, using the Template:Jewish Encyclopedia. Please do this in the future so that our readers will be aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself, and that it's okay to copy verbatim.

Kareth
My "short description", which you reverted as inaccurate, is the first sentence in the first section (Kareth) of the article. Editor2020 (talk) 17:52, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * That sentence is bringing various speculations as to the meaning - "may mean killing or excluding from the people" - not an agreed-upon meaning. Also, "killing" is a bad word because one could understand it to mean a death penalty, when the reference instead says "premature death", presumably referring to a predicted Divinely inflicted punishment. For these reasons it is inaccurate, and thus it's better to go with the first sentence of the entire article, which is a straightforward and uncontroversial translation of the word.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mata Mehasya
Hello Ar2332,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mata Mehasya for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Spellings
Hi, User:Ar2332. I wanted to ask you why, in your opinion, is it so important for you to change the spellings in articles such as in this edit here, and in this edit here? I am sure that you are aware that today, in most scholarly articles, and, especially, in encyclopedias, they make use of this new spelling system where Semitic names and words are transliterated with diacritical points. It was developed by the Deutsche Morgenländische Gesellschaft (German Oriental Society), and its use is vital in Semitic languages where sounds are different to those in English. For example, "ch" in "Ba ch " is different than "ch" in " ch air." Neither sound is the same sound as the lightly aspirated ḥet phoneme in Hebrew. In this system of transliteration it is more precise; where they make use of š for ש, and ḥ for ח, and ṭ for ט, and ṣ for צ, and which same letters have their equivalents in other Semitic languages. There is nothing wrong with using the "ḥ" in some cases here on Wikipedia, just as we find its use in the Soncino edition of the Hebrew-English edition of the Babylonian Talmud, translated by Dr. H. Freedman under the editorship of Dr. I. Epstein, and just as it is used extensively in Encyclopaedia Judaica. Just to show you a few examples, you may wish to see Tractate Shabbath (in the Soncino edition), where "R. Ḥisda" is written with "Ḥ" (100b), just as we find there "Naḥman" (not "Nachman"), and R. Ḥiyya (98a) and R. Joḥanan (100a), and R. Aḥa (instead of R. "Acha"), as well as many, many more names spelt in this way. It would be too time-consuming to show you how the Encyclopaedia Judaica (published by Keter Publishing House, Jerusalem 1971) also makes use of this spelling system (e.g. "Minḥat kena'ot"), on p. 146 in vol. 2, under the entry Abraham ben Isaac of Montpellier, or ḥaṭṭaʾt, the transliteration of the Hebrew word חטאת (= "sin-offering") (see p. 766 in vol. 2, s.v. Altar). Hag sameah!Davidbena (talk) 12:04, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that the pointed version is better at avoiding ambiguity. However, I think that the non-pointed version is better in some ways: 1) more familiar and more easily pronounced by readers, 2) part of the standard keyboard and thus available for users to type and search 3) already used in article titles 4) I think non-pointed is used in most works of the computer age, both web pages and printed books (both religious-oriented books and IIRC most academic-oriented books, though this last bit requires more checking). So those were my reasons. However, as I think about it more, I think we need to bring this up for a discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism (if it hasn't been discussed already) and make the result of the discussion (whatever it is) visible in the manual of style for future reference. In the meantime, I will try to stop making edits that change pointed to non-pointed. Ar2332 (talk) 16:59, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You are right when it comes to article titles, but that wasn't my argument. We can leave the regular spellings in the titles, but in the body of article where we do find its transliteration by making use of the academic spelling system, now used in most peer-group academic journals whenever referring to transliterated Hebrew or Arabic words, it really shouldn't bother anybody. In fact, in those journals, it is more common to see its use than not. Yes, perhaps we can bring it up in discussions in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and make the result of the discussion visible in the manual of style. For your information, it is already mentioned in Naming conventions (Hebrew), although since this system of transliteration is used extensively in a technical sense, there is room in my opinion for its expansion in that general overview and guideline.Davidbena (talk) 17:20, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi I’m just reviewing some new pages you’ve recently created or recreated from redirects on Jewish topics. I’ve tagged a couple because they don’t have any sources at all. If they don’t get sources within a reasonable time they’ll be deleted or redirected eventually.

Superstition in Judaism?
Hi Ar2332, is there anything you can please do to clean up all the blatant inaccuracies in this abomination: Superstition in Judaism. Thanks so much, IZAK (talk) 23:23, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I haven't seen this article before, I'll try to fix it up. BTW are there any other articles you think need attention? Ar2332 (talk) 17:37, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I think I'm done. That was crazy, the sheer quantity of claims with irrelevant sources given as references. Ar2332 (talk) 19:03, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

It was terrible before and now it is atrocious. I could put "citation needed" or "fails verification" on most sentences. How on earth can this anecdote be called a reliable source? Why not get a proper source, such as Joshua Trachtenberg's highly cited book "Jewish Magic and Superstition" and write a proper article? Zerotalk 05:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Don't give up so easily, it is clearly in violation of lots of WP:NOT, and can easily be re-written without all the sheer nonsense. IZAK (talk) 19:19, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Great job on all your amazing work! IZAK (talk) 02:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the problem is. I prefer quotations from the Talmud and from classical Judaism. By the way, "magic" and "superstition" have nothing to do with each other IMHO. IZAK (talk) 18:33, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Articles should be based on reliable secondary sources, not on quotations from primary sources. As for magic versus superstition, neither have precise definitions but they can't be properly separated. Some restrict "magic" to invocation of supernatural beings (angels, demons, etc), but belief in the power of such invocations is superstition. Others expand the meaning of "magic" to include things like amulets, but again belief in the power of amulets is a common superstition. One of the problems with the article is over-emphasis on injunctions against superstition at the expense of a discussion of superstitious beliefs among the general Jewish population.

Judaism and sexuality
Hi. Are you still working on this article? Because I noticed that in this edit you removed material that I think should stay. For example, female masturbation is mentioned not just by a "few" rabbis, but by many, and not just "frowned upon" but also explicitly forbidden. I completely miss the part where it say that homosexual relations are the same. And the worst thing, from an encyclopedical point of view, is the lack of sources, which makes all the statements prone to deletion. Talk about levatole. Debresser (talk) 11:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am done working on that section of the article. My intention was to put as much as possible of the content on the "main" article, while leaving a summary here. In the process of doing that I deleted most of the sources, but in response to your comment, I just added some sources back to support the text that remains. As for lesbianism, I am not an expert on the subject, so I tried to be conservative and leave the claims that were already in the text, specifically that it is frowned upon but not forbidden. If you have more knowledge on the subject, please edit accordingly, both on this article and on the linked main page. Ar2332 (talk) 18:23, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding some sources. Yes, I'll change the sentence about female masturbation. IMHO the new text is not in accordance with the previous text. Debresser (talk) 22:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

You are doing good work on these articles. Thanks. Debresser (talk) 14:41, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

November 2021
Your recent editing history at Amiram Goldblum shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 13:18, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Please consider replying to this complaint. An administrator would like to hear from you before deciding what to do. Was Amiram Goldblum correctly quoted? If you think the translation of his remarks from Hebrew was wrong, can you provide your version? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 22:30, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I just saw this. The debate was archived shortly after you sent your message. Where can I reply? Ar2332 (talk) 07:38, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I've restored the complaint from the archive, so you can now reply to the original report at the above link. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Attribution for merges
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Tekhelet in Judaism into Tekhelet. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 15:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia
You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Kohen. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  12:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I made a note. I'll try to remember this for next time but don't promise. It's an easy rule to forget - copying between pages does not "feel" different than moving within a page. Ar2332 (talk) 12:22, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
