Proposed deletion of Tractate
Hello, Chefallen. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Tractate, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Orphaned non-free image File:International March of the Living logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:International March of the Living logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:37, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for translating this article from Hebrew. I see that you left an under-construction tag, and I anticipate that you will address the lack of citations in the article.

Great Article
The other day I was poking around (I read talk pages to see what I can learn from more experienced editors) and saw the article you created Ancient Israelite cuisine. I read it and really enjoyed it. :) <span style="font-family:Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> // Timothy ::  talk  05:53, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

Israeli cuisine short description revert
Hello, you recently reverted an edit I made on the s/d of the article Israeli cuisine. The short description which you seem to favour restates the article title verbatim, which goes against MOS recommendations with respect to s/d's (Short description). Please peruse these rules and make the appropriate edit on the article's s/d. I would suggest restoring the s/d I had written or simply leaving it blank as the title is quite self-explanatory. Thank you. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 00:53, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for referring me to the SD guideline; I also surveyed a dozen or so cuisine articles, and it seems that the standard practice is to use "Culinary traditions of ..." for the s.d. (as in articles for the cuisine of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Lebanon, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom). I think that would be an appropriate s.d. here also. Let me know if you have an objection to that. --Chefallen (talk) 02:15, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly happy with that s/d, thanks for making the effort to reach a workable compromise :) Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 02:19, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

RE: Talk Page Warning
I'm not here to vandalize or disrupt wikipedia - I'm just removing a category that doesn't hold true to a book's content, which The Hoax of the Twentieth Century is not anti-semitic. Wikipedia's own classification of Holocaust denial/revisionism as anti-semitic is if the author alludes to a conspiracy - this book does not contain such libel or anything about hating Jews in it's own content. I am open to discussion if you feel differently, but please don't accuse me of doing these reversions to disrupt - I'm not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.127.137.206 (talk • contribs)

DYK
Hey, Chefallen! Not sure what this edit summary means? Valereee (talk) 17:11, 1 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @Valereee, I was replacing one jpeg file with another, thinking that the new graphic and DYK to which it related was of more global relevance. However, I now recognize that I should have been clear about my reasoning and that it was not the right place to make changes anymore. I have reviewed the procedures for the DYK and will make sure to follow them if I engage there again. --Chefallen (talk) 01:32, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * That was two edits, one of which you modified an approved hook, the second of which you switched what was the first hook and the image. Are you saying you did both of these things for global relevance? <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 01:37, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Chefallen, for the record, even a minor change to a hook in prep at minimum calls for pinging the nominator in an edit summary. The first change you made was not minor, and would require not only a ping but a much more detailed edit summary explaining why you thought changing "independent press agencies" > "some news agencies" fixed a neutrality issue. I'd recommend bringing that kind of concern up on talk first.
 * The second change was about as major as it can get and absolutely would require opening a discussion at WT:DYK with a ping to nom, reviewer, and promoter. Images at DYK, because they're destined for the main page, require multiple checks and layers of protection. We don't ever just swap out images willy-nilly at DYK; probably at minimum six different people have checked an image for various things by the time it gets to the main page. Beyond that, indicating in the edit summary that the change was an image swap ignores the fact you switched the placement of the image hook. Valereee (talk) 13:50, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

In what world do you think it acceptable to unilaterally change an approved hook and then demote which image is to be used in a DYK prep area? The only reason Im not reporting this to AE is that you dont have an up-to-date ABRPIA notification, and to that end see below. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 19:40, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Gilboa prison pimping scandal
Hi. I'm seeing all over the news that some corrupt prison officials offered female soldiers to the prisoners so they could have fun with them. And i'm not talking about playing chess. Could you make an article about it or at least write a line or two in '2022 in Israel'. I don't think this is related to ARBPIA but it's important that this information be registred in Wikipedia. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.142.165.24 (talk) 13:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * You don't need to ask me, or anyone else to do this. You are welcome to add anything if you have a reliable source for it or start an article if you think the topic is significant enough.

Jeziorka (river) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Jeziorka (river), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Tractate


The article Tractate has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "WP:DICTDEF, this is a dictionary definition for a close synonym to essay or treatise"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
