(Was there an actual question in regards to Jewish law? Your ref desk post seemed a bit run-on and vague. DRosenbach (Talk  | Contribs) 00:09, 17 February 2010 (UTC))

I'm posting my response to your discussion page as it will be more stable than my dynamic IP address...

Let em begin with the fact that variables and states of those variables are what constitute all matter of law like letters in an alphabet while the law itself represents the relationships between all relevant variables and states. The laws might be said to be like words which take on new senses and refinements in meaning which serve as basis for even newer words. All law then is temporal and when one speaks of law one must consider the boundaries of time. For example: Were Adam and Eve obligated to obey the Ten Commandments?

Time frame is then a hidden variable but a valid variable none-the-less.

If one is going to treat the law logically then one must define all variables and their states including hidden variables. Once that is begun one can then define the law more accurately by showing the valid and invalid relationships of all variables and states.

My question is simply whether this has been done for Jewish law and if so where may I find it posted?

71.100.8.16 (talk) 23:02, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with your questions above are that they are, still, so ambiguous and drawn into analogy that I can barely understand what you are asking. Your direct question regarding Adam + Eve, however, is different.  It's completely within the realm of Orthodox ideology to assert that neither Adam nor Eve actually existed -- i.e., that the story about them is an allegory, and my position would be congruous with this assertion.  But even for one who does not agree with this, and suppose you were to ask, "Given that they existed in the form and manner described by the text..." were they obligated to observe the Ten Commandments?  The answer would be a resounding no.  The Ten Commandments are no different than the other 603 commandments mentioned in the Five Books of Moses in that all 613 of them apply to members of the Jewish nation who practice the Jewish religion.  Therefore, in general, no one had to keep any of the laws prior to the revelation at Sinai.  Those that did, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, their wives and immediate children are said to have kept the tradition as passed down to them from Abraham -- but not by commandment.  There are notable exceptions, such as the law of brit milah, which was given to Abraham and was therefore compulsory.  Adam + Eve, being non-Jews (because Judaism hadn't been established yet by revelation at Sinai), would not be obligated in Jewish law.


 * Certainly, though, your question is much deeper than that, and perhaps if you could ask it in a more focused, less oblique manner, I could answer it in a better fashion. Perhaps you should make it more long-winded and less terse (if necessary), such as not using the word 'variable' -- I think that throws the reader off, because it makes your wording so esoteric.

Nankali Post-system
Did I ever edit this article? If I did I don't recall. Either way it seems fairly valid to me. Just because a technique is not effective or should be used doesn't prevent there from being a wiki page about it. Although the article has a ways to go before its ready.

Hi! Could I ask you to take a look at this? I don't have the background necessary to answer it beyond the small bit I posted.

I appreciate your response regarding ritual sacrifice posted to my talk page. One of the many benefits of Wikipedia is the opportunity to learn and explore new ideas.

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it.

Vegetarianism
I have to admit I'm surprised people were genuinely unaware there are ethical reasons for vegetarianism but I'm still not interested in a discussion (I'm not a vegetarian myself although understand and even agree with some of the reasons).

Note Environmental vegetarianism and other things like religious reasons and labour conditions may also related to ethical reasoning. Nil Einne (talk) 10:47, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Hutchingson
Hi there! I see you nixed my first contribution because of advertising? Yes, I am a writer and I did write a piece on Hutchingson, but the people I wrote it for have no affiliation with Hutchingson. They are a review website and my article for Wikipedia had not affiliation with Hutchingson or that review site. I simply had gathered information for a different project and thought I'd contribute it to Wikipedia also. I have quite a few companies I would like to start pages for on Wikipedia simply because there isn't a page for them here yet and I have the information. Since I'm new and apparently was doing something wrong, could you advise me on how I can post this info without it getting removed? Thanks! Newtliest (talk) 18:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)Newtliest

Please look at an article for me
I've been doing some small edits here and there on Wikipedia for a little while now but when I first joined you offered me help on my user talk page if I ever needed it. To sum it up quickly, the artcle Oksana Grigorieva (the pianist linked with Mel Gibson in the news a lot now) had information that could have been more accurate. If you get a few minutes, please read and consider what I've said in the talk page for the article Talk:Oksana_Grigorieva. Basically, anyone born in the USSR on Wikipedia is listed as being born in the USSR (most of the time the Russian SFSR or its equivalent because that was technically the country while the USSR was technically a union like the EU). User:Cirt insists on changing it back to Russia or Mordovia which is even less clear to the regular reader. It's all in the talk page though. Thank you very much for your time and help!

Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Potasnik


A tag has been placed on Joseph Potasnik requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Autopatrolled
Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:
 * This permission does not give you any special status or authority
 * Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
 * You may wish to display the Autopatrolled top icon and/or the User wikipedia/autopatrolled userbox on your user page
 * If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it
 * If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 21:29, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi DRosenbach; a couple of users were interested in seeking out article creators who created decent articles and were prolific creators but did not have the autopatrolled right yet, and they found a way to generate lists a few hundred users who fit into this category. For example, one such list is Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled candidates 2. I and another admin merely helped review the users on the list to make sure the candidates met the proper criteria. Hope that helps. Best. Acalamari 09:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Natan Slifkin
Thank you for the invitation to talk. The external links that I provided give balance to the entry by providing a challenging view to that of Rabbi Slifkin's. In fact, Rabbi Slifkin himself has engaged these challenges, either directly or indirectly - i.e., on one of those websites he himself has contributed, and for the other two, he has addressed their claims on his own website and blogsite. To continuously delete these links that a) provide new information to the entry, and b) provide a dignified balance is, in my opinion, the real disruption here. I welcome your comments.

Question
On WP:ANI, there is a discussion about a user who posted a Nazi symbol and claimed to be a racist, along with a ridiculous disclaimer that he doesn't believe in racial hatred. Yeh, and I've got a bridge for sale. However, I've occasionally seen attempts to defy the stark ugliness of Nazism by reconfiguring it. There's also the fact that the swastika in some Asian cultures is actually a positive, which Hitler hijacked and turned it ugly. So I took a couple of wikipedia icons and fiddled with them to create File:Peace Nazi.png. I was thinking I could create a user box that says, "This user is a Peace Nazi". I'm not exactly sure what that even means, it just kind of came to me. In any case, I'd like your opinion on whether this symbol is tolerable, or whether I should ask for it to be zapped. I don't want my good intentions to be taken the wrong way. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 19:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So you don't veto it, but you're advising to use with caution, yes? I use "NG" to mean National Geographic, but I'm guessing you're using it as "No Good" or "No Go"? I wanted to get your opinion first before posing it at ANI, where I'm sure I'll find out very quickly if it's a bad thing. I'm honestly not sure. There can be a fine line between satire and inadvertent endorsement of something bad. And sometimes I don't know where that line is. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:38, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

How is it that you have procured a free-use R' Tendler photograph, and why can we not use other photos of other roshei yeshiva under the same permission?  DRosenbach  ( Talk 05:10, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

YU's policy was to only release photos where the faculty member gave their approval for the release. Once approval was given, they sent it to me and I uploaded it. Many faculty members were contacted, but only a few gave their approvals.

I haven't worked on this for over a year; it's possible YU's policy has since changed. Contact Matt Yaniv from YU if other roshei yeshiva, faculty, or YU administrators that are OK with having their YU photo appear on their Wikipedia page.Wizir01 (talk) 13:58, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

Mini Dental implants
You are advocating that the Dental implant and Mini dental implants pages be merged, however you have just removed all references to mini dental implants from the Dental implant page, which prevents the merger. You deleted a statement, backed by clinical evidence, that the mini dental implant procedure is minimally invasive. Your comment for the revision states that conventional implants may be and are frequently loaded immediately. However, your opinion is contradicted within the first couple of sentences of the section that you edited. It states that generally it takes a minimum of two months to load conventional implants. Do you have any sources to back your opinion that conventional implants are frequently loaded immediately?

Thanks for your improvements to the Mini Dental Implants page. As you can see your spam notice has already been removed by another user.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Jacqueline Lord, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Model (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Sinus lift procedure
Hi. I see you've been a major contributor to our article on the maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure. Against the possibility that you may not have the article watchlisted, I hope you won't mind a request to have a look at a couple of concerns I raised on its talk page. Many thanks, –  OhioStandard  (talk) 01:13, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much -- as pointed out on the sinus lift talk page, these are really issues that will become non issues once the article is actually written. As of now, it's really just a stub, even if it looks like an article.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 03:04, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thought you'd want to know
I thought you'd want to know that I edited your user page to link to an identical edit counter to the one you had linked, as it (the soxred93 one) has expired (Tparis has taken over the tools). Hope you don't mind. :-) -- Gilderien Talk|Contribs 20:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Sunmodified.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Image copyright problem with File:Shviti.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Shviti.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 16:30, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
Hi! I am brand new to wikipedia but I am interested in joining the Dentistry WikiProject. Before I get too involved I plan to look at some of the other users work and practice my editing. Anyways, I saw your username on several things and thought I would introduce myself. Any advice you have for getting started is welcomed and appreciated. DrPrentice (talk) 03:29, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a pretty loosely organized project as projects go. You work on what you want to work on, try to stay out of controversy and make things better by writing articles.  Because dentistry is such a common thing but information for the layman and dental student is so scarce, I try to start as many articles as I can, even if all I can do for the moment is start a stub.  Things grow over time.  Sometimes I go on a WikiDragon spree and write a complicated, well-cited article with 15 peer reviewed sources in a day or two, but that's rare because I'm pretty busy.  Any constructive help is welcome!  DRosenbach  ( Talk 04:08, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Meth mouth
Hi DRosenbach, I just expanded our article on Meth mouth and was wondering if you could give it a read. I know very little about dentistry (and not a whole lot about Meth, but that's a separate issue) so I was hoping you could point out if anything I wrote is problematic. No problem if you don't have time. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 20:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look, I appreciate that. Mark Arsten (talk) 04:24, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure thing!  DRosenbach  ( Talk 00:58, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gingivectomy


A tag has been placed on Gingivectomy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Peter.C •  talk  •  contribs  03:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Meth mouth again
Hi DRosenbach, since you last helped me out on meth mouth, I've expanded the article a bit. There's a peer review open at the moment, your comments there would be very welcome if you're interested/have time. One user has asked some questions there about dental sources, I'm not sure about all the details, you might be able to clue me in a bit. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 16:44, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Belated thanks for your help on that, much appreciated. Mark Arsten (talk) 02:34, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Dentistry WikiProject
Hello DRosenbach,I am interested in editing a Dental wikipedia article to make it better sourced. Would you be able to recommend an article that needs to be improved? Thank you! Dexter2358 (talk) 14:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow -- thanks for the offer! Perhaps Removable partial denture?  If you don't care for that, I'd recommend checking out the articles on various dental specialties (ortho, endo, etc.) and checking out the many articles linked by the navigation boxes towards the end of the article.  If any of them seem incomplete or poorly referenced, you can help there, too!  DRosenbach  ( Talk 21:42, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

I want to start a task force of WP MED or DENT called oral medicine or oral pathology or something. It seems to me that WP:DENT is not active anymore, is that correct? Lesion ( talk ) 18:18, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Why would your WP MED or DENT task force be called "oral medicine" or "oral pathology"? Those don't sound like task force names to me.
 * And you'd really have to define "active" for me to answer that question. I consider it active, but some other may not.  I mean, I do what I do to author and edit articles on Dentistry, but we don't have member meetings or points of focus and people do whatever it is they want to do.  So in a sense, we don't have an active project group, but there is certainly still a project and that project is certainly active -- so please don't go deleting anything! :)
 * Let me know if that answers your question.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 19:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess the exact name would depend upon whether this task force would be under WP:MED (e.g. like WP:WikiProject Medicine/Cardiology task force or under WP:DENT (which currently has no task forces, that I can see). I understand task forces are sub groups of the main wikiprojects, and therefore would not seek to replace the main group. This task force would focus on oral medicine and oral pathology type articles, which I have been working on recently. Also to reassure you I have not been deleting, rather adding significantly to the articles I work on, following WP:MEDRS and WP:MEDMOS of course. I notice that currently most of this type of article that I work on are tagged with dermatology. I raised this issue here WP:DERM proposing that the gastroenterology tag would be more appropriate, but now I am thinking just to start a specific task force for oral med. Do you know of anyone else who might be interested in starting such a task force? (I think by definition a task force needs to be a group of people rather than one editor)...
 * I thought WP:DENT was inactive since it is described as semi-active here, WP:WikiProject Medicine. Now I go to the talk page of WP:DENT I see that there is indeed fairly recent activity. I will keep a better eye on this page in future. Lesion  ( talk ) 20:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

File source problem with File:MenachemKellner.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:MenachemKellner.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.
