Hi, I need your help on the above mentioned articles. MrOllie removes the links all the time without explanation, when i talk to him he doesn't reply. I assume he doesn't even know how hard it is to keep the Taharas Hamishpocha and that that link is for an online calendar which could help people. Please help He did it already two times —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ntb613 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

David Friedland
I am assuming that you wrote all or part of the David Friedland bio. I am David Friedland The bio omits my accomplishments as a lawyer and legislator and -it fails to document the "good". It focuses only on the sensational and negative parts of my life. No mention is made of some of the famous cases I tried, including the "one Man One Vote" case that changed NJ History, My defense of the West Point Cadets, nor the many laws I sponsored and helped pass, including Consumer Protection and Labor Laws and others. The bio omits my community and family life- The bio is not complete nor fairly balanced. I understand that the authors were not writing a complete bio, however this bio does not include any of the good things I worked for and accomplished ( revision of NJ Government via One Man One Vote- probably the most significant event in NJ Modern History) (logodos@mac.com) David —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.189.223 (talk) 11:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Can't you remove the edit history up until yesterday? My early are edits are too trivial and numerous to decipher. Rzdemarco (talk) 15:09, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand what you are requesting. "Edit history" refers to the previous versions of the article that are no longer in the current article. To "remove edit history" would mean that you want to remove any record of content that existed in the past but is no longer in the current article. This can be done, but there needs to be a compelling reason for it (i.e., WP:LIBEL). I'm not sure if that's what you want. However, what I think you are asking for is for any content that was added before yesterday to be deleted. If that's the case, then that can't be done. You'd have to manually edit the article. Let me know if that helps.  -shirulashem   (talk)  15:38, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Michael Murphy
You are exactly right, the MOS discourages putting images in the infobox except the individual, for country and possibly branch of service and for recipients of High military decorations (I don't like the term award for the MOH) such as the MOH or Victoria cross the award image is displayed beside or below the image of the individual in the infobox. There are over 3000 recipients of the MOH and only 4 (not counting lists) are rated as good articles. These seemed like a good place to start so I am going to try and get the Iraq War and Afghanistan war recipients to good article or better so I needed to change a few things to get it to pass. If you watch this article of the next week or so you will see a lot of info added (and possibly removed if I can't find a reference) in order to do the things necessary for it to pass a good article review. I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any questions. --Kumioko (talk) 16:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

User:Tiltshift
I know it looks that way, but the account that I unblocked was User:Waxploitation - they put up an unblock request to be renamed to Barkleydoom, but eventually they asked to be renamed as User:Tiltshift. All of the old account's edits will move to the contribs of the new account, so it looks as if they've always been called Tiltshift. The reason that it says "Welcome, Tiltshift" on their talkpage is that the template is using which automatically picks up the current username of the user. Black Kite 18:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

You added two banners dealing with citation missing (?). What do you expect exactly? The sources of the data are all in romanian, mainly from the memoirs of Toma T. Socolescu. The 'Sources' Title list the books and sources used for this article.

Sources

* Socolescu family (Paris, Bucureşti, Ploieşti). * Manuscript of Toma T. Socolescu memoirs, written from 1949 to 1952 (Romanian). * Photographs of the Socolescu family.

Awaiting your precisions.

 * I know, I know. It's at the top of my to-do list. I unfortunately commented on the WPJudaism talkpage before I actually saw the Judaism's view of Jesus article and didn't realize how big the article is, so it'll take me a little more time than I thought. I also got busy with a few things IRL.  -shirulashem (talk) 20:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Reliable Sources On Jordan Palmer Activist Bio
I see where I can improve the NPOV. I will work on that on my next attempt at editing.

I have questions on the sources.

I think the PageOneKentucky site may not be a good source for the name changes because PageOneKentucky.com does not substantiate the claim. I should have noticed that. I will look for a better source.

Can you tell me which of these was the problem?

In documenting Palmer's business activities, I sourced KY Secretary of State, the Better Business Bureau, public notice filed in Portfolio.com (a Condé Nast Publications, Inc.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cond%C3%A9_Nast_Portfolio). These all seem like valid secondary sources.

I used a biography from an association that Palmer was a member of the board of directors to demonstrate his claim to be a successful operator of business. I am not sure what could be a better source for establishing that he made claims to be a successful businessman.

To document claims that he has posed as an attorney, I sourced a web site that made the claim and had posted documentation that backed it.

To demonstrate the claim of suing critics, I sourced a web site that made the claim and posted documentation that backed it.

To substantiate that there were claims of fraud made by his clients, I posted a link that showed dozens of complaints on RipOffReport.com.

I look forward to your feedback and will work on a rewrite that meets the NPOV. Thank you.

 * Jjjjess, thank you for your understanding and patience. So that we can all work together on this, I will address your questions on the article talk page. Also, FYI, the reason I was so aggressive in removing all that content so quickly was because the article is a BLP.  -shirulashem (talk) 12:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Jordan Palmer (social activist)
A user without a user page continues to destroy this article. In his last edit, he cited a report from portfolio.com, another blog created by users. According to their terms and conditions : "You are responsible for ensuring that any material you provide to the Website or post on a bulletin board or forum or elsewhere, including but not limited to text, photographs and sound, does not violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or any other personal or proprietary rights of any third party or is posted with the permission of the owner(s) of such rights." So this is yet another blog, which the user no doubt created. Wikipedia is not a forum to wage personal wars is it?.

Kentucky Secretary of State
A business in bad standing simply means they did not update their yearly officer information, this does not mean the business cannot get in good standing be filing the forms per the Kentucky Sec. of State's Office Website.

Yahrzeit candle
I would disagree, the Hebrew is much more prominant and relavent. Almost no one calls it a yortsayt likht but many call it a ner neshama, so much so, when your purchase them, even in the diaspora, they say "נר נשמה‎" on them not "יאָרצײַט ליכט" - Epson291 (talk) 21:09, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It also gives the impression that it is only an Ashkenazi practice, which is not true, it is rather simply where the English term originates. - Epson291 (talk) 21:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * If your argument is correct, then the name of the article would be "Ner Neshama" and then the article would say that it's also called Yartzeit in Yiddish. But it's not true. When you say "almost no one calls it a yortsayt likht but many call it a ner neshama", are you talking about people who are speaking English? For Hebrew, you are correct. If you do a Google search on "yahrtzeit candle" you get 75,000+ hits. If you do a Google search on "ner neshama" you get 19,000+ hits. And even in those 19,000+ hits, almost all of them say "yahrtzeit candle (ner neshama)".  -shirulashem (talk) 21:30, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So 75,000+ for Yahrtzeit Candle, 19,000+ for Ner Neshama and for "Yortsayt Likht", 10 results. "Yahrzeit candle" is not a Yiddish term, it's English. Granted, the word "yahrzeit" by itself is Yiddish, and an article on Yahrzeit (if there was one), should put the Yiddish before the Hebrew or Ladino, but this is different. And yes, I was talking about English.  Epson291 (talk) 02:54, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Maybe there's a misunderstanding. I never put in יאָרצײַט ליכט ... I just put in יאָרצײַט, which is the Yiddish way to spell the Yiddish word "Yahrtzeit" that is contained in the English phrase Yahrtzeit Candle.  -shirulashem (talk) 19:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was confused by you doing that since the article is on a yahrzeit candle and not Yahrzeit in general. "יאָרצײַט" is/was already contained in the body explaining the etymology of the word, putting "יאָרצײַט" next to "yahrzeit candle" would be if they were equivalent, which they're aren't. - Epson291 (talk) 20:18, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Disputed category tags
Why are you adding disputed category tags to categories? I don't see any explanation, and those tags are usually applied to individual articles. Are you perhaps wishing to nominate the categories for deletion? Please explain.  Will Beback   talk    06:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * From what I can see, there is rampant violation of WP:BLPCAT. In order for a person to be categorized by religious beliefs or sexual orientation, their religious beliefs or sexual orientation have to be relevant to the subject's notability or public life, AND the subject has to self-identify with the religious beliefs or sexual orientation. For example, the Steve Ballmer article says that he's Jewish, but there's nothing to indicate that it has anything to do with his notability. Therefore, I removed Category:American Jews from his article. Do I intend to nominate some of the categories for deletion? Absolutely. But that will take me a bit more time to put together. And even after some of the categories are deleted, the remaining ones still should have these tags. I personally believe that many (if not most) editors are unaware of WP:BLPCAT, and the whole raison d'être of these tags is to be put on categories that are based on religious beliefs or sexual orientation as a reminder to editors that they need to be cautious about putting articles into these categories. I'm not sure what you mean by these tags being usually applied to individual articles, since these are category tags.  -shirulashem (talk) 13:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I was mistaken about the category tags, but the text of the tag makes it specific:
 * The inclusion of certain people in this category is disputed. Please see the relevant discussions on the talk pages of those individual articles. Consider rewording the inclusion criteria of this category if they are unclear.
 * Who are the individuals whose inclusion is disputed? Where have you commented on the talk pages? The disputed category tag is menat for specific dipsutes, not general ones. I really don't think that plastering two tags across dozens of categories with no discussion on any page is helpful. Lastly, if there are large numbers of violations of BLPCAT then mybe the policy needs to be written to better describe actual practice. I suggest you either initiate a discusion in a relevant policy page, or delete the tags.    Will Beback    talk    19:45, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You are correct that the Categorization of people disputed tag does not apply to all the categories. I think I should have started with the Subjective category only and then put the other tag on the category if there were specific problems. I'm not quite sure why my edits were unhelpful drive-by tagging. Can you help me identify in what ways the tags have caused a problem? Also, I don't understand the suggestion that a policy might need to be re-written to reflect current practice. Just because editors don't follow the policy, it doesn't mean the policy is wrong. I think the problem is that not enough editors know the policy (which I'm trying to address by the Subjective category tag).  -shirulashem (talk) 01:43, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thomas Jefferson and slavery
I believe the Thomas Jefferson and slavery article and the On Slavery section in the main Thomas Jefferson article have been harmonized. The Harmony cite is not neccessary any more and I believe the Harmony cite should be removed. {Cmguy777 (talk) 19:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)}

I have removed the Harmonize cite because the Thomas Jefferson and slavery has been harmonized with the On Slavery section. All of the main points in the On Slavery section have been incorporated into Thomas Jefferson and slavery. {Cmguy777 (talk) 16:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)}

Trevor Soar
I have removed the image you added to Trevor Soar as two fair-use images showing a person cannot be included in the same article. In this case, the current infobox image shows more than the other image, showing his rank, medals, and more of the body than the other image. As such I can't see the justification for its inclusion and it should be deleted. Regards, Woody (talk) 12:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 21:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
