Psalm 30, Psalm 92
Thank you for beginning the articles Psalm 30 and Psalm 92. Much appreciated. I left a note on the main Psalms discussion page about their existence, and someone has already quickly picked it up and added your new article to the main Template:Psalms, so it is readily visible.

If you look at the other articles on individual psalms, you'll get an idea for the sort of structures that people give them. I have attempted some initial structuring of the psalm 30 article. I have also added tags at the top about citations and improving the article. This a positive thing: it lets others know that the article is being taken seriously.

So be encouraged. And you might want to try adding some structure to your Psalm 92 article.

Separation of males and females in Jewish law
Hi HertzP: How did you arrive at all the conclusions in the Separation of males and females in Jewish law article you wrote/posted? A lot of it is false and violates WP:NOR. Anyhow, someone has mominated it for deletion at Articles for deletion/Separation of males and females in Jewish law and you may wish to respond to it. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 19:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi HertzP! As the author of this article, you are welcome to join the discussion at the link IZAK pointed out and explain why you believe the article should be kept. You're also welcome to to improve the article to address any concerns mentioned in the discussion, and to explain how the article can be improved. One particular concern involves reliable sources. What halachic authorities are you using for the various positions you are taking in the article? It would be very helpful if you could identify who you are relying on and what sources you are using. Wikipedia has a WP:No original research policy that prohibits editors from publishing their own research and views, and this includes editors' own personal interpretations of halakha. Identifying your halachic sources and what poskim and teshuvot you are relying on would help alleviate these concerns and help ensure the article is verifiable. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 02:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
It might help you to appear as more of a serious Wikipedia editor if you have at least something on your User page so that it doesn't show up in red everywhere you edit :)  DRosenbach  ( Talk 06:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Cooking on Shabbat is overt vandalism! Your textual contribution was not only unsourced, but even worse, were completely false. Food cooked on Shabbat certainly does not become treif; in fact, it does not even become not kosher! Willing desecration of the Shabbat in a biblical manner will cause the food to become forbidden forever for the one who cooked it, but forbidden only until after Shabbat for the time it takes to cook it for all others, and the penalties are even less for that which was cooked inadvertantly. Vessels certainly do not become unkosher and do not require kashering, and none of this has anything to do with why one may or may not eat in the houes of a non-Sabbath observer. Patent falsehood will not be tolerated. By continuing to edit as you do (see warning comments above regarding your short-lived "separation of men and women" article), you not only come off as an extremist who besmirches the cause of all Orthodox Jews, but you seriously decrease your reliability as an editor in the eyes of other editors to whom you may appear as a nuisance. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me for assistance. If you continue to act in this manner, you may face a block on your account.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 17:41, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
