Welcome to Wikipedia
 AFriedman has given you a Pork pie. Pork pies are full of meaty goodness, and are wonderfully delicious!

On Wikipedia, they promote love and sincerity. Hopefully, this one has made your day happier.

Spread the goodness and sincerity of pork pies by adding {{subst:Pork Pie}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message! Give one to someone you've had disagreements with in the past, or to a good friend.

Thanks for sharing the Category for deletion discussion. Yes, antisemitism is a real phenomenon on Wikipedia and I've encountered it more than once. Although I don't happen to agree with you about the category issue, it is very nice to see how committed you are to preventing Jewish topics from being treated unfairly. I am especially happy that someone with your outlook comes from Spain. I was just in Spain this past summer and there doesn't seem to be a lot of understanding of what Jews and Judaism really are over there. That's not surprising to me, because Jews haven't had a particular cultural or economic reason to leave our home countries and return to Spain in large numbers since we were expelled. Judaism in Spain was also suppressed for a very long time after 1492. Actually, the expulsion and forced conversion of the Spanish Jews is considered by Jews to be one of the major tragedies in Jewish history, possibly on the order of the loss of the Ten Lost Tribes. Spain had a very rich Jewish culture at one time. Nowadays, so many Spanish people are descended from Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity but because so few Spanish people are active Jews, it becomes more difficult for people in Spain to learn about this part of their cultural heritage.

Also, I'd like to know what else you would be interested in editing. I'd be happy to answer any questions you've got about the encyclopedia. -- AFriedman  (talk)  10:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

You wrote on my page
Jgarpal,

You wrote on my page about why I converted to atheism from Christianity. I would love to talk about this. If you're still interested, please write me on my talk page.

Your contributed article, King Jesus Ministry
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, King Jesus Ministry. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - El Rey Jesus. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at El Rey Jesus - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Cindamuse (talk) 13:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Alex Sink edits
The reason I changed your entries on Alex Sink was that you did not approach the article's political positions with an unbiased eye. There are several other political positions you could have also inserted and it appears to me that the four you used were biased against this candidate (abortion, gay adoption, immigration, health care) and could sway a voter. One should approach a subject with complete objectivity. Quotes are excellent in articles with sources. Happy editing and thanks: Review Editor, Noles1984 (talk) 16:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello
I would like to ask you, what do you know about Israel? thanks. --Ademsemir (talk) 16:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
