Requesting to be unblocked
User:Vanjagenije, my account is not blocked. It's the ip address of the computer that I use that is. I am sometimes able to use another computer that's ip address isn't blocked, but it would be nice if the blocked one is unblocked, as I am able to use that one more often.

Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich
The new article that I recently created, Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich, has a couple of errors. I intend to fix them as soon as possible, but due to blocking issues, I cannot until I have access to another computer. (I created the article on one that isn't blocked, but now do not have access).

--Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 00:05, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I came across your new article and did some wikifying and fixing of links. If you'd like, I could fix the references section, which is very repetitive. WP:SRF would be useful here. If you're interested, I could also nominate it as a new article for Did You Know? which features new articles on the main page of Wikipedia where they will get hundreds of views.
 * By the way, are you thinking of posting an article for Simcha Wasserman? That's been on my to-do list a long time. Best, Yoninah (talk) 10:11, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't realize someone posted Simcha Wasserman last month. Well, it needs work... Yoninah (talk) 10:12, 20 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. It would be very nice if you can nominate it for Did You Know? Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 13:51, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi again. The only thing I can think of to use as a hook is the sentence: Even students who had studied independently in other yeshivos and wanted to join the Baranovich Yeshiva would first need to join a shiur in Baranovich for several years before being able to learn by themselves. Could you add an inline cite to that sentence, and also give me the wording in the source that verifies it? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. I also changed that section a little bit, as you'll see. Thank you. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 17:05, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I just meant that I needed the wording from the source to submit the DYK nomination. I formatted the citation like the other ones. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * See Template:Did you know nominations/Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich. I decided on a different hook, though I daresay it won't attract a large audience. Could you provide me with the text from the book here? (The book is available at my local library, but I haven't had time to go up and borrow it.) If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


 * From Aaron Solasky's Reb Elchonon, page 106: "The Baranovich bachurim became renowned. They were singled out as the students possessing sound foundations in learning skills, who had the capacity to obtain a basic mastery on the Gemara text. They were accorded preferred status in all yeshivos." Thank you. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I got ahold of the Reb Elchonon biography and revamped and added cites throughout the presentation. While ArtScroll is writing in a very hagiographic way, it's important to be totally factual and "dry" when writing these encyclopedia entries. Now that all the statements are sourced, I'll start thinking about a different hook to suggest for DYK. Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of files proposed by Whpq

 * Sorry. I thought this was okay because I only put the pictures onto a userpage and onto an article that wasn't such a great article. I'm sorry for causing you distress. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 03:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Image uploads
Hi, I think you would be much better off going over to the Hebrew Wikipedia and finding rabbi images that have been correctly uploaded over there. Many are on Commons. This image of Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Shapira is obviously a scan and the photographer has not been dead for 70 years, so I nominated it for deletion. Meanwhile, the Hebrew page has lots of good images to choose from. You can also crop/enlarge the person you need out of a picture using CropTool. Best, Yoninah (talk) 22:14, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I never uploaded that image. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 22:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I know. But I saw some posts above about images, so I thought you might like to know. Yoninah (talk) 22:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Israel category
Hi, why did you remove people from the Israel category when it's clear that they moved there after 1948? I put that cat as a subcat of Land of Israel so that you can drill down but for those where it's clear that Israel is clear, that cat should be used. Sir Joseph (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Not all of them moved there after 1948. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 23:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I can remake it, only incuding those who moved after 1948. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 23:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I think I did already. Or caught most of them. Sir Joseph (talk) 23:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , right, but those that did should use the Israel category. That way we have it better compartmentalized, between the modern rabbis and then everyone else. The Israel cat is under the main cat so it all flows through. Sir Joseph (talk) 23:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs
Thank you for your recent articles, including Moshe Rosenstain, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Moshe Rosenstain, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice; I will try to add the templates from now on. As for the DYK nomination, I am not able to nominate it myself (as I have never reviewed other nominations), so if you can nominate, it will be great. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Yeshivos
Hello Charlie Smith FDTB. I noticed your new article at Pre-World War II European Yeshivos. While it seems well-organized, the plural 'yeshivas' is quite widely-used on Wikipedia and it's unclear why we should use two different spellings of the same entity. Could you take a look at and the sub-categories below it? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, one draft of your new article is still at Charlie Smith FDTB/More W.I.P., which in spite of its name is actually in main space rather than user space. Would you mind if I delete that under WP:CSD? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:34, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , yeshivos is grammatically correct in Hebrew, yeshivas is a bad plural or a Yiddish/Yeshivish plural. It can go either way. Sir Joseph (talk) 19:52, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * We currently have a main-space redirect from yeshivos to our yeshiva article. But the question is whether we should be propagating two different names through our own category system. Would you think that searches for 'yeshivas' and 'yeshivos' should bring up two different sets of articles? Naming of articles is controlled by WP:COMMONNAME which reflects the name for the thing that is most frequently used in English, not necessarily the appropriate name in the language of the original word. EdJohnston (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , the thing is that if you are looking for the plural, you'd search for "yeshivos" if you know.  Note the organizations have Yeshivos in their name. And COMMONNAME is interesting because both yeshivas and yeshivos are used and spoken, I think it might be proper to use the correct grammatical title. I have this discussion every so often where commonname is not necessarily correct, for example Chesvan. Although I think because yeshiva already entered the English language, that we should use that title, so it can go either way. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't have a preference, and if anyone would like to move the article, it's fine with me. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 20:10, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , the plural should be Yeshivas because 1) Consistency; we now also have Yeshivas in World War II. 2) The reader will think the singular is Yeshivo. While that might be (also) grammatically correct, the common spelling here and everywhere is Yeshiva, hence the plural Yeshivas. StonyBrook (talk) 23:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:RebiShimon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:RebiShimon.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Rabbis in the Holocaust


A tag has been placed on Category:Rabbis in the Holocaust requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Steven Spielberg and "spiel"
I have a personal rule of always explaining reverts of good-faith edits, and, while I didn't click "rollback" or "undo" to make this edit, it did have the effect of fully undoing an edit of yours from August.

My edit summary partly explains my reasoning, but, to elaborate: I cited WP:SYNTH off of the top of my head in the summary, but in retrospect the most on-point policy or guideline is probably WP:NOTEVERYTHING. In my opinion, that his name means something relevant in Yiddish—a fact that, I'll note, I do personally find interesting, having quite an interest in Ashkenazi surnames myself—only merits inclusion if RS think that it's significant. (Otherwise, do we mention every black-haired Schwartz, every short Klein, etc.?) If there are RS saying that it's significant (à la Usain Bolt), I would not object to you reverting me with those citations. I'm also happy to make my case at greater length on the article's talk page, if you wish. Tamzin (they/them) &#124; o toki tawa mi. 20:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Category:Students of the Mir Yeshiva
Hi, it's unclear why you keep creating these categories that are inappropriate, as they could potentially house thousands of pages. We already have Template:Mir Yeshiva to take care of these leading rabbis. I'll have to take care of nominating this for deletion after Shabbos, though if you could do something about deleting it, it would be appreciated. Yoninah (talk) 13:41, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Here's another inappropriate category: Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1942. Why are you doing this? Yoninah (talk) 13:43, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * And another: Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1943. I wonder how much time this will take to file deletion discussions for all of these. Please stop. Yoninah (talk) 13:44, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. I trust you implicitly and added "db author" to the new categories. However, it's hard for me to understand how "Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1942" can include more pages than Category:1942 deaths. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. To my understanding, Category:1942 births and Category:1942 deaths are catch-all categories. If someone cannot be categorized any other way, at least they can be categorized there. The only other broad categories I've seen are all the sub-categories under Category:Deaths by type of illness. If you would like to know if you're categorizing properly, you could start reading here, maybe post on that talk page. Best, Yoninah (talk) 16:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Kindly delete this category too: Category:Rabbis that emigrated to Israel. We already have Category:American emigrants to Israel and Category:Haredi rabbis in Israel. I understand that you are trying to promote a small group of Haredi Torah leaders, but you really need to understand the point of WP:Categorization first. Yoninah (talk) 18:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm having trouble understanding the page history on that last one., could you chime in here? What is the point of Category:Rabbis that emigrated to Israel? "Rabbis" could refer to any post-graduate rabbinical student. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , hi, IIRC it was just split from the main "Rabbis that emigrated to the Land of Israel" to make a better categorization for those we have an article for and moved after 1948. Sir Joseph (talk) 17:56, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Category:Students of the Mir Yeshiva has been nominated for discussion
Category:Students of the Mir Yeshiva has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming.

Tree chart
Hi, I hope I helped solving the problem with User:Charlie_Smith_FDTB/Even_More_W.I.P.. I noticed you have other plans with trees, so I'll share some thoughts in the hope that they will help you. The width problem seems to be a common problem/bug discussed at Template_talk:Tree_chart and probably elsewhere. To sum it up, adding "| " one or more times at the end of the longest row can help,... if you are lucky. If you really want the boxes to be narrower, not just proportionate, adding  's can work, not sure if that would also requires more adjusting. Otherwise considering the boxes three columns wide kinda works, but the documentation isn't exceptionally clear. I pretty much had to re-add one or two lines at a time and check if something went wrong on the way. Hope this helps and continue with the good work. Personuser (talk) 01:34, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Shlomo Simcha Article Draft
Hi Charlie Smith FDTB,

Thank you for contributing to the article I submitted on Shlomo Simcha. Still being new here, I don't quite understand the purpose of the changes you made, but I appreciate that you took the time to make what look to be code improvements for headers. If you have some time to explain the purpose of the changes, the information could be helpful for any future articles I submit.

Cheers, GreenEli (talk) 15:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm happy that the article was moved to mainspace; I feel that Shlomo Simcha is a notable figure and an article about him is important; thank you for creating it. To answer your question, Heading Level 1 is never used in articles, rather sections use Level 2 and subsections use Level 3. See Headings or Writing better articles. As for moving the citations from the Collaborations and Features title to right below it, I don't think I've ever seen citations included in a title. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. I'll have to use that going forward. In terms of the citations in the title/headers, I couldn't think of a better place to put them, but definitely felt them necessary to show that he really was part of so many works. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody had made an article on him until now! Thanks again! GreenEli (talk) 23:50, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Targum Press/Menucha Errors
Targum Press still exists -- Menucha Publishers is a separate company (see menuchapublishers.com vs targumpublishers.com and targum.press)

While Menucha reprints and distributes old Targum books, Ktav.com distributes Targum books published after 2011

Just taking the Targum Press page and renaming it to Menucha is wrong - it hurts the people involved with Targum

Could you undo the Targum redirect to Menucha and restore the old Targum page? And remove the claim that Targum became Menucha?

Full disclosure -- I currently run Targum.

Akiva Atwood


 * Akiva Atwood, I didn't realize that Targum is still around, a. for the reason you brought up, that Menucha reprints and distributes Targum books, b. the website domain Targum.com, redirects to Menucha's website (and the website Targum.com is the one on old Targum books as well as the website Google displayed when I made the move.), c. the website Kosheronbudget.com says says that Menucha Publishers is the former Targum Press.


 * I can revert the move, but I would first want to know why Targum.com, the website written on all books published before 2011, redirects to Menucha; why the new Targum website is "Targum Publishers" and not "Targum Press"; and whether the publishing company that you run, Targum, is indeed the same one that has been around for decades, or if it is a newer company created around the same time as Menucha. Maybe I can write about both your company as well as Menucha on this page.


 * I meant no harm to you or to any other people involved in Targum, and I hope we can clarify these points. I will then work to revert the page move. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks You can also check the ISBN numbers of the New Targum books published since 2011 (at ktav.com). You'll see that they are all registered to Targum Press even though we're using the Targum Publishers imprint (for legal reasons)

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ✗ plicit  01:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
