There were complaints about some nonpublic personal information in the article. Besides, it doesn't meet our inclusion criteria. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 04:01, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

There are several important differences. First, Liberace's birth name is well known and is documented in numerous reliable sources, and as such it is not nonpublic. Second, Liberace is dead and therefore our protective policies that apply specifically to living people, e.g. WP:LIVING, don't apply. Third, as you note, Liberace is clearly notable and there is no serious doubt that he merits an article. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 17:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Stonnman: I am not used to using the Wikipedia pages other than bare minumum, so I hope I am placing this answer in the right spot. You asked why I have deleted the link to Dan Kester's genealogy site for "Baum". It is because I am Valora Noland, and wasn't raised in the Jewish Culture.

I ran across an article in my old c.1970 14th edition Encyclopaedia Britannica under "Jews", and the article begins: "Contrary to popular opinion, there is no Jewish race." It was written by Raphael Patai when he was working for Herzel Institute in NYC during the 1960s. I guess Patai was a Hebrew Scholar. His article mentions blood and other tests, and ends by saying Jewish is 1) Religion  2) Traditions   3) History   4) Country. But no one inherits Judaism through the genes anymore than Catholics or Buddhists are genealogically Christian or Buddhist because a relative once was.

There are many ideas in our society which are very old, but which lack actual or scientific roots. Children are asked to adopt them, and many such ideas become part of one's cherished beliefs. This is termed "Maya" by the Hindus, the unreal aspect of life, because perception is too shallow to penetrate to the truth. I have never been to a service in a Synagogue, had no Jewish culteral input as a child as my parents didn't follow it, have had a few Jewish boyfriends who didn't seem different from the rest of humanity, and all in all, though physical, genealogical relatives may have been members of a Jewish community and annihilated in the Holocaust, I still don't feel this is directly a part of Me. I believe staunchly in reincarnation--believe I am only occupying my body for a time and then will go on to an alternate world. Next time back, I may be born Chinese!

To sum it up, I am not against Judaism, but I am against the idea that there is any genealogical Judaism. Genealogy does not determine religious matters. Don't give me a label where it doesn't apply.

So, does this give you a clear answer? Kamitra1 (talk) 20:55, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Stoneman: Please tell me about the correct way to communicate in the Wikipedia. Am I doing it the right way to put my words here, or should I be writing back to you from my own talk page, continuing under your reply? (I've just copy/pasted to your talk page.)

I love John Donne's famous "No Man Is An Island" message. With a few slight alterations of his 1500AD English terminology, here it is:

No man is an island entire unto himself. Every man is a part of the continent, a piece of the main. If a clod should fall off into the sea, this country is the less, as well as if a section of headlands had, as well as if a large house of your friend or family had. Any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, never send to ask for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.

A few years ago I checked twelve Holocaust documentaries and films out of the library, and watched them all within two weeks. It was a powerful dose of education on the subject. My heart and the hearts of all decent people are shocked and saddened by that black event, and when I hear of the latest suicide attack in the Middle East, I feel the same way. Physical relatives or not makes no difference, for the whole of humanity is my relative. Our "circles" must someday become this large, to embrace the world.

Reincarnation is yin/yang on a wider scale than the day night cycle.

Thanks for unlinking me.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Amanda de Cadenet, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. magnius (talk) 12:30, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

It is debatable whether or not only a single source is supplying information on the Amanda de Cadenet page. You need to specify exactly which source this is, to justify your position. The edits by Polly Phoenix obviously need close monitoring, is this what you are referring to? Also, removal of the link to the IMDb page for Amanda de Cadenet requires clarification from you. The IMDb link has nothing to do with whether or not the page is being supplied by only one source. Stonnman (talk) 22:19, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Why on earth do you insist on having the same information twice in the same article? Drmies (talk) 17:00, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "Some members of wikipedia seem to think that ANY mention of an actor or actress portraying a member of the British royal family should immediately be expunged": there is no conspiracy; perhaps you are interested in reading WP:AGF. The simple matter is that a note about an actor should go in the actor's article. And once is enough. And reinstating it again and again is disruptive. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

What I was trying to get across was the concept that "portrayals in the media" sections are very commonplace. For some reason, you seem to think that the only valid way to mention Rupert Friend's portrayal of Prince Albert is in a section called "Legacy". I will admit, however, that many prominent individuals who have wikipedia pages have a separate page regarding their cultural impact, maybe that is what is needed here.

Curtiss SB2C Helldiver accidents and incidents
The section is devoted to significant hull losses and loss of life, which neither of the two events currently listed in the section "Accidents and incidents" actually portrays, so I am setting up the Survivors section to more clearly identify the airframes involved as "Survivors". As you can appreciate, there were literally hundreds, if not thousands of crashes that involved the Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, and it would be difficult to classify any of them as notable.

Barry Nelson
I'm aware of that. However, Sean Connery is recognised as the first actor to play the canonical Bond. Barry Nelson's performance is not considered a part of Bond canon. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 22:54, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
