On heritage
Hi Kari, somehow I found your page after looking at some edits. Very nice. About your heritage, and the term "mutt," I use that myself, and sometimes use the description "Fancy Mixed Assortment" (once used to describe a premium grade mix for chocolates, nuts, and candies). It works. I saw that you had only passed through the state of Vermont (my home state). Hope you get to spend more than a few hours there one day. Best, Jim CApitol3 13:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Conservative Judaism WikiProject== ==

Kari, if you are interested in helping me start a WikiProject for Conservative Judaism, let's get started!. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yonkeltron (talk • contribs).


 * Part of the "lack of airtime" thing is that the Conservative Jewish viewpoint on issues is not just one of being "in the middle". Also, one of the problems with articles relating to Judaism in general is that Orthodoxy is portrayed as being the only traditionally authentic form of halakhic interpretation and genuine "Jewishness" in general. As such, it is important not only to make the distinction between movements, but also to distinguish between the practices, beliefs and interpretation in the context of halakha. Moreover, articles about Conservative Judaism just need lots of work. --yonkeltron 00:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Tanakh
Good job starting the WikiSource Tanakh material! -- Dauster 20:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Reversion Orthodox Judaism
I'm trying to avoid out-and-out reversion without explanation absent clear vandalism. Concerned that a cold RV for just an ill-considered edit could turn a well-meaning newbie off unnecessarily. Realize I haven't been keeping this myself consistently. Shavuah Tov, --Shirahadasha 19:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

My Post
Yes, I was a hyper idiot yesterday evening, and I apoligize sincerely. Alright, I have severely toned down my topic in Talk:MJ, made it completely fact-dense, and re-posted it. 12.65.216.68 19:30, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Added a response to your criticism. Thank you for your patience, Kari. 12.65.216.68 20:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I saw the experimental vandal edit to the article. Thank you for rving it. It is sad and it pains me to see that there are there some closed-minded, ignorant extremists that still believe Messianic Judaism is some sort of a vast conspiracy missionary effort (had they attended any of the links of websites about MJ, they would see how profoundly far from the truth that is; they haven't done that of course, perhaps they believe the Jewish Moshiach will corrupt them), rather than the branch of Judaism that it is. Shalom 12.64.228.158 01:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I will be making little to no editing until my account, Zorkfan, is reopened in a week. When I return as an editor, one of my first undertakings will be a treatise set forward in the talk page that will give the editors (almost none of whom know a salt's worth about Judaism or Messianic Judaism) a better idea of what MJ is by explaining what groups have no actual connection to Messianic Judaism. These groups include Hebrew Christians, J.f.J., anyone that teaches that the Torah is non-normative, Trinitarians, anyone that attempts to pronounce the Tetragrammaton as part of their doctrine, anyone that teaches that the Moshiach is somehow equal to G-d, and anyone who claims that the Moshiach did away with a part of the Torah as a teaching. None of these groups are M-Judaism (though some may think they are), and I will explain why and how. Shalom and much appreciated 12.65.204.74 04:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Jewish services -text and language

 * In Jewish services, it says "most communal prayers may be recited in any language the worshiper understands" does this mean a halakhically observant Jew who doesn't understand Hebrew or Aramaic but attends an Orthodox shul where no local language is used, is halakhically forbidden to participate in most prayers? If not, what is the exception and what is its halakhic basis? My grandma went to a large and poor orthodox shul in the Lower east side in her youth and according to her most people there didn't know any Hebrew at all.. a Hebrew education was only available to those who could pay for it or who had it in the family, which was very few.
 * It says certain prayers must be said in Hebrew.. do you have any idea which ones they are.. is it just the Shema? Can you help provide a reference? Zargulon 15:38, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I moved the discussion of the Shema language to Shema. It seemed more appropriate there. In Jewish services the general statement covers everything and restating the principle for selected individual prayers didn't seem to belong there as much as in the Shema article. --Shirahadasha 18:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Added a footnote with the mention of Shema and the reference. Also added a footnote referencing Sotah 7:2 for a list of prayers that must be said in Hebrew. Best, --Shirahadasha 03:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

What's your objection to describing Israel as a colony?
I editted the Israel article to say that the Zionists intended to establish a colony, and quoted Jabotinsky.

Why did you revert such a straightforward observation, amply proven by the source I quoted?

PalestineRemembered 22:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I can cite plenty of books or websites of fabricated information about what Israel is or isn't. Remember WP:V and WP:NOR. You also might want to remember that Wikipedia is not a soapbox. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 22:15, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sure you can quote mass fabrications about Israel - I see such things constantly. But I quoted one of the top Zionists, memorialised by Israel in Jerusalem.
 * These are his words in his own book "The Iron Wall", 1923:
 * ....... A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else - or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE! ... Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important ... to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot - or else I am through with playing at colonizing.
 * There you go - the words of the founder of Revisionist Zionism (the precursor of Likud) - do you dispute what Israel is based upon?
 * I'm strongly against getting involved in some kind of edit-war, but the evidence for Israel being a colony is clear for everyone to see. Americans and others can travel there freely, and the right sort of settlers are very welcome, with assistance given (Flimsiest of connections needed, eg the Russians). People born there cannot get in atall. This is "colonising" far more extreme than anything that took place under the British Empire (even apartheid South Africa!).

Linux project banners
Hi, Karimarie. I notice that you've been adding to various Linuxy topics. However, speaking as a founding member of WikiProject Linux, I don't think this is too useful for these articles. Since it was started, the project hasn't really done anything of consequence, so I don't think it's advisable right now to stick links up on lots of talk pages. Maybe if the project gets more active, it will be more useful to put these banners up. Twinxor t 07:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You're correct that the articles are relevant to the project, but I don't believe that the reverse holds. My point is that the project hasn't done much, and linking it is unlikely to benefit the articles at this point. I'm not going to go reverting your edits; I just wanted to advise you.

In your Honest Oppinion
Just because you don't like my oppinion (the leading oppinion)about reform rabbis, doesnt mean that you have a right to remove my comments. for starters what makes you an athority on Judaism in the first place? I am jewish since the day i was born, and I studied to be a rabbi, (though I am not a rabbi) You on the other hand have very limited knowledge about judaism, though Im sure you think that you are all knowing about Judaism and its practices, and maybe you even want to be a rabbi in teh Jewish Club called reform Judaism, the problem is that the term rabbi was coined, way before reform Judaism ever existed, so who gives reform Jews a right to change the meaning of the word, and what training is needed, call it a Reform Counsler.

Ohh, maybe its because you are a woman, (btw Judaism doesnt directly prohibit lesbionism, it only brohibits Male Homosexuality).

You Are not an authority, and I am speaking my oppinion, which in this case is no doubt corret, so what gives you the right to remove my comments, waiting for a reply,

best regards,

Please think more about how to be civil
Your comments in the discussion on the proposed deletion of category:anti-Semitic people are intimidatory and a serious breach of Civility. You really have things the wrong way round. It is not deletion of this category that would be an exception to general practice, but keeping it. You are asking for this subject to be given special treatment. Note that you comment is an example of how often supporters of this sort of category fail to resist the temptation to infer that those who disagree with them are anti-semitic. That habit is intimidatory and it isn't acceptable. So is your completely groundless allegation that the nominator acted in bad faith. Hawkestone 17:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

deleted categories
Thanks for commenting on the deletion of the Jewish American businessman category. I hope more people get involved with categories, otherwise the small cabal in-charge will have no oversight, and will be making decisions without being aware of the consequences. Do you know any admin people you can get involved? I have no clue how many people have lost their ethnic tags from their deletion. I restored tags to the two biographies I wrote. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 18:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I borrowed your box on traveling, because it was fun. And besides, you're from Rochester (or at least you're at RIT), and you'll forgive me. If not, I'll delete it. OrangeMarlin 02:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Accusation
Your accusation that I "used my admin flag to circumvent consensus" is gratuitous and insulting. You may wish to consider apologising. --RobertG &#9836; talk 09:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your advice. It's all very well, but "direct violation" of which category guideline?  I do not see the word "ethnic" on WP:CAT.  On WP:CATGRS it appears a couple of times, but none seems directly relevant.  I see where you are coming from about "soapboxing": perhaps in retrospect, despite the severe CFD backlog at the time, I should have relisted it for further discussion, although it seemed clear-cut to me.  If I was on the verge of being convinced of your logic, however, I now find that any regrets I have in this matter are actually a direct result of the tone of your intervention which still appears to me to impute base motives baselessly.  I will certainly avoid citing WP:AGF in future as you advise.  I was insulted because "circumvention of consensus" was diametrically opposed to my intentions.  WP:AAGF tells me to "allow for the possibility that one can incorrectly judge another's intentions or assumptions".  Were you trying to say that you think you misjudged my intentions?  Have I misjudged your intentions or assumptions?  If so I am sorry.  Have I angered you?  I am always sorry to make anyone cross.  Please treat these as rhetorical questions.  No reply is required.  --RobertG &#9836; talk 16:00, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Your revert of Halakha
Why did you revert the removal of the content "(and to some extent within the left wing of Orthodoxy )" This statement was unsourced (hence the tag) An unsourced statement can be removed at any time per WP:V. Such a statement (not its removal) violates WP:OR. Leaving unsourced statements in place and tagging them as opposed to simply removing them is a matter of an editor's discretion. The tag had been there for a while, there was time for people to come up with sources, so courtesy was complied with and removal was appropriate. If you want an unsourced statement which has been removed back in, you need to supply a source. To avoid WP:3RR I'll personally leave things as they are for a couple of days (can't speak for others). But if there is no source for this statement, it can be removed again. Best, --Shirahadasha 04:34, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The Japanese and the Jews
Kari, given your interest in both Judaism and the Japanese language, you might find it interesting to find a copy of the book "The Japanese and the Jews" by Isaiah BenDasan. I came across this book as a U.S. exchange student to Japan in the 1980s. The author finds many interesting cultural similarities between the Jews and Japanese, along with a few contrasts, and cites geographical and historical factors that may have factored into these similarities/differences. My sociology professor in Japan recommended this book to our class, and commented that while the ideas are speculative and not really academic, the ideas are intriguing and insightful. So you might want take a look at it sometime. Best wishes on your studies and your spiritual journey. Timotheos 03:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

"Wikipedians against censorship" huh?!?
Then why the heck do you insist on censoring BC and AD with "BCE" and "CE"? As if somehow we magically no longer base our time division on the birth of Jesus Christ? That sounds like censoring to me!. &mdash; RunningAway 18:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * First, WP:DATE says nothing about BCE and CE being any more or less appropriate than AD and BC. It merely states that both are acceptable within Wikipedia. As for the censorship issue, if you believe CE and BCE aren't a form of censorship than I do believe that your definition of censorship is flawed. If the CE system had a different pivotal year 1 than the AD system, then it wouldn't be a censorship of the AD system. But the CE system does nothing to change that year. The CE system is still based on the perceived birthdate of Jesus, so how is it more neutral if it's still dividing time with that particular religious event? It's all just political correctness (i.e. censorship) gone amok, just like the word "holiday" instead of "Christmas"—both are the obscuring of history for the purposes of "not offending" some people who probably wouldn't even be offended. In a century or so after this PC hype is gone, people will look back and laugh at how we obscured history just for those reasons. Why was AD, BC, and Christmas okay for the past hundreds or thousands of years but all of a sudden now we must pretend they don't exist?. &mdash; RunningAway 20:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you think BCE/CE is synonymous with WP:NPOV then why does Wikipedia still allow and merit usage of BC and AD? In fact, in the policy articles they use BC and AD with BCE and CE in brackets, suggesting they prefer BC and AD. &mdash; RunningAway 21:32, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Admin. Antics @ "Category:Jewish-American businesspeople"
Hello -- you may recall that in mid-December 2006 you and many others voted to undeleted "Category:Jewish-American businesspeople" which had been unjustly and swiftly deleted by a rogue administrator in early December 2006; proper debate/voting was not done and huge amounts of data was lost when this category was deleted, many of the people in that category losing their Jewish identity entirely because of this. This particular unjust category deletion happened in early December 2006, see:.

This unjust category deletion was later rectified when you along with others overwhelmingly voted to overturn the deletion and relist the category, see: . However, at this time neither admins. nor others bothered to begin re-adding the names that had been lost/merged when the category was originally deleted.

However, the category was not immediately recreated -- it wasn't relisted until many-many days after it had been voted back in to existence, and I had to bug User:RobertG in order to get it relisted, see:. Also, since that category's former data had already been entirely merged in to "Category:American businesspeople" it effectively meant that in order to rebuild the unjustly deleted category the people that had built it up over many months had to start from scratch since a list of the former names in the category were never provided so that users could re-add them. The category nor a list of the names that were formerly in it is no longer available, or this info is only accessible by admins.

Finally, even though the category deletion was properly overturned by you and others, it was renominated for deletion AGAIN on the 10 of January 2007 (only days after it had been recreated) -- it was then deleted 17 January 2007, with NONE of the people that had formerly voted to relist the category voting this time around; see: .

I am wondering if there is anything that can be done about this? Are you able to obtain a list of the names that were formerly in the category, or are only admins. able to do that? Can you or someone else try to have the category relisted? Is there a way to undelete the category again, given that it was deleted BOTH TIMES under rather dubious circumstances, with those that voted to undelete it the first time not even knowing to vote the second time or even that it had been renominated for deletion?

Thanks for any info/help that you can provide. --172.161.68.238 15:08, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Kari, nice colors :)). RobertG's page says that he "is away on a lengthy business trip", so I am not sure RFC is timely. Also, only someone who's been involved in the dispute may certify an RFC. I think I actually missed the entire ordeal (I've been busy in RL lately).

Your reversion re Israel
Thanks for explaining your reversion (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan etc.)

I don't think you are correct - if I am a Jew, then I can automatically become a citizen of Israel. However, if I am a Muslim, that does not make me a citizen of Iranm/Arfganistan/Pakistan etc.

The only parallel I am aware of was the German situation whereby any German speaker after WWII could automatically get BRD citizenship.

Please will you unrevert your reversions?


 * Johnbibby 23:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

You say: ''A "Jew" is not necessarilly an adherent of the religion Judaism. See Who is a Jew? for more information about that. The point is that Israel being a Jewish state has less to do with the Jewish religion (Judaism) as it does with the defined ethnic groups identified as being compnents of the Jewish people. It's more of an ethnic or cultural definition than a religious thing. Kari Hazzard (T | C) 23:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)''

This is a very legalistic point - it may be that my edit needs refining, but it is substantially correct i.e. Israel is a Jewish state; it is defined by religion; no other state is like this. (By being a Catholic, you can't become a Vaticonian; by being Muslim you can't acquire citizenship of a Muslim state; but by being Jewish/a Jew you can become Israeli.)

Please refine my edit rather than delete it.

Adonai
Adonai is the 1st singular possessive as attached to plural noun (literally "my lords"), while Adoni would be the 1st singular possessive as attached to singular noun (literally "my lord"). Adonei would be the construct state plural (not the ordinary plural). See User_talk:130.91.237.167. AnonMoos 20:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Consulting standard lexicons and grammars is not "original research", and the article said "plural" for many months before anonymous IP 130.91.237.167 came along. Unfortunately, my browser doesn't really support input of Hebrew vowel points as text, but look at image Image:Tetragrammaton-related-Masoretic-vowel-points.png -- the little red "T" symbol under the right-bracket-looking letter on the line "Adonai, with its slightly different vowel points" would be a dot (not a "T") if the word were a singular noun with 1st sg. possessive suffix (instead of a plural noun with 1st. sg. possessive suffix) -- and would have the corresponding pronunciation "Adoni".  I really don't feel like making up an image with all the typical forms of possessive pronominal suffixes as attached to singular nouns as contrasted with all the typical forms of possessive pronominal suffixes as attached to plural nouns in Hebrew, but you need to consult a reference work with this information before making further similar edits to the article. AnonMoos 21:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)


 * If you're not familiar with this ancient Hebrew morphological paradigm, why are you continuing to edit outside your area of Knowledge? AnonMoos 20:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I said it before and I'll say it again,  consulting standard Biblical Hebrew reference works such as lexicons and grammars is not "original research"[sic]  . Meanwhile, you appear to have no applicable relevant knowledge or sources whatsoever to bring to bear in your attempts to contradict the state of the article as it was for many months (before your little buddy anonymous IP 130.91.237.16 came along and started meddling...).

Hi Karimarie. I'm seeking opinions and possible support for an issue in which I'm in a debate with other Wikipedians. I'm trying to change indiscrimant use of the term "deaf-mute" in describing deaf people in general. To see some comments related to the issue, see Talk:The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, as well as my own Talk page, User talk:Ward3001. You can also follow the links to other discussions. Right now I'm about the only person addressing the issue because deaf people are such a small minority. Other Wikipedians, with apparently no prior knowledge of the issue, are reverting my edits.

 * Jewish reactions to intelligent design
 * Jewish opposition to evolution

 * I really need your help here. ZayZayEM is engaging in troll-like behavior, such as making edits on the very materials I am editing, removing sourced materials immediately after I add them, and so forth. It is a harassment pattern that extends across multiple articles.  The main articles involved are:


 * * Jewish reactions to intelligent design
 * * Jewish opposition to evolution
 * * Natan Slifkin


 * It is bizarre behavior, because I can see no reason why he is even interested in this material. As you and I both know, it is material you have to really understand well to edit. Over the last week, I have substantially rearranged all the materials on Judaism and evolution in an effort to clean up the main Judaism and Evolution page first of all, so that it can be turned into a page that is not dominated by issues (such as the Slifkin affair) that would have undue weight.  ZayZayEM has simply made it impossible for me to work. He has followed me from one article to another, demanding arbitrary changes. many of his edits, and his changes, show that he knows very little about the subject, which as you and I both know, is quite abstruse at times. --Metzenberg 16:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The article as written doesn't really explain WHAT IS IN THE MISHNA very well, so I can't piece that together even after copyediting it. I think it reads more smoothly now as a history of where, when, and why, and has a good amount of context, but I still don't really know what the Mishna is. I'm going to follow some of the ext links and read the JE about it, but if you can improve the article that would be super. Best, Kaisershatner 15:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 01:08, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy.

Preity Zinta FA
Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦       "Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Lunatic Festa
I see what you mean, the release dates for the Lunatic Festa set are all before the first Saturn version of SSS, but since the official album titles were "Silver Star Story" instead of just "The Silver Star" and that it featured the voice actors from the remake and not the original, I figured it was better categorized as a remake album.

Your request for rollback
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing! Peter Symonds ( talk ) 03:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback may be removed at any time.

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are listed as a GA reviewer. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Merger and Redirect of Constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
You recently suggested a full merger of the "Constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" article and a redirect of that site to to NFIB v. Sebelius. I have no experience with merging and redirecting. Can you therefore execute this merger respectively redirect the "Constitutional challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" to the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" site? --P3Y229 22:37, 11 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by P3Y229 (talk • contribs)
