Disambiguation link notification for August 19
Hi. When you recently edited Bat Ayin ax attack, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Will (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Done.

Also, if interested, or even if you have a few minutes, you may be interested in an article I'm working on in my sandbox (unrelated to Israel, but related to Jewish mother and Saudi prince). So far, I haven't had time, but I've listed a slew of sourcse that can be used to build it. I hope to work on it soon.

Thanks. -- Activism  1234  03:36, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds interesting. Please let me know when you finish the article.
 * Say, can you read or write in Hebrew? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 03:54, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I can, I'm fluent in speaking and writing Hebrew, but Israeli websites give me a tougher time (size of the text, spacing, different type of language). If you need help with anything, let me know, I can always give it a whirl. טוב? -- Activism  1234  03:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the improvements and stylistic changes. I hope you didn't mind me fiddling the other day with the Beit Yisrael yeshiva massacre article. ' Ankh '. Morpork  15:17, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 15:21, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I replaced one citation needed tag as the source seemed to directly support it. With regards to the perpetrators in the info boxes, can I ask why you tagged those? ' Ankh '. Morpork  15:25, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In some instances, such as when quoting a witness or stating that a specific person committed a murder, it is always better to put the relevant references more than once, if possible, inside the article - in order to not have the reader searching themselves for that relevant information within the sources provided in the rest of the article. I am currently working on fixing that. Let me finish and you'll see what I mean. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll leave you alone and let you get on with it. The sources at the end of each section cover all the material within; I didn't realise that additional inline sourcing was required. ' Ankh '. Morpork  15:35, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * They are not required, nevertheless I believe that in that specific instance, some readers might want to immediately check for the source, and since there are two sources at the end of the paragraph it might be better that the relevant source appears next to that sentence as well. No harm in that. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 15:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a thought, I enjoy writing these articles so if you can think of any other incidents worthy of a write-up, let me know. ' Ankh '. Morpork  15:47, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Will do. At this point I would appreciate if you could help expand the existing articles in this series of articles. What do you think? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 15:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure. You might be interested in the DYK for the article. ' Ankh '. Morpork  16:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The Israeli infobox
Hi :-) When the original infobox was made on Wikipedia it was a long time ago, so I don't think the old concensus is relevant anymore due to the fact many new people cam with new ideas.

The old image looked professional in the design term, But the selection already then arose many question marks: 1.	It looked to big, which is a bit embarrassing.

2.	It had too many politicians (prime ministers) and military figures, which does not contribute to the image of the Israelis and feeds the false stereotype that Israelis are militant people obsessed with politics (when Israel has so much more to offer).

3.	Having some really embarrassing figures like Eyal Golan, who is known as a joke in the Israeli society. Also, with all respect to Dana International, she’s a one hit wonder, you don’t pur a one hit wonder in a colalge of famous representative. 4.	Lack of two of the most notable Israelis ever, Ephraim Kishon, Agnon and Ofra Haza.

I’ll be glad to work with you about a new selection, two heads are better then one and I think actually that the best number is 12 (just to give representation to more groups in the society), but you have to agree that the old selection doesn’t fit the Wikipedia Standards. Too much politicians, to much people, and to little really notable Israelis (Kishon, Agnon, Haza). Hope we could work together and not just reverted! I did start a discussion about it on the talk pages ages ago. 79.99.144.141 (talk) 08:02, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Another thing I could suggest is make a 16 people image, with the 8 I added and 8 you pick, though we have to agree on what we pick (if you don’t like someone I picked we should talk about it, if I don’t like someone you picked we should talk about it). 79.99.144.141 (talk) 10:22, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's start from you signing up and participating in the discussions using an actual username. Afterwards, you can try to bring this subject up in the discussion pages and attempt to convince the rest of the participants in your opinion on this matter and thus reaching a new consensus which would favor your opinions on the matter. Until then, please refrain from edit warring and/or making changes to this long standing infobox without basing your changes on an actual new consensus in the discussion page. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:00, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
 * How I sign my posts has nothing to do with it. I opened a discussion, you refuse to take part in it, so I think you are the one edit warring. If you go on the talk page and start a dialogue what to use we will reach an agreed version in 2 days! 94.3.21.223 (talk) 18:12, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for commenting about Ofra Haza’s picture! Is Achinoam Nini a good idea for the place where Ofra Haza was? Just to keep a female representative and a Yemenite representative in the image!

Any ideas for more people to add to the picture, another line of 4? As I said before, I do want us to work together because we can do a nice selection! I opened a discussion about more people on the talk page, please take part in it! 79.99.144.141 (talk) 08:36, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

November 2012
Your recent editing history at Israeli Jews shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Legoktm (talk) 02:27, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

New image
Hi :-) Just wondering, how should we procede with the image thing? How long should we wait for people to write? Also, I like how you did the old one as one file where pictures are the same size. If it's ok with you, could you please do it again with the new selection? It looks really professional and I have no idea how you did it! 94.3.21.223 (talk) 23:48, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * With Photoshop. Either way, as I stated before this doesn't matter at all at this point in time because the selection of photos you suggested (and most likely the previous selection of photos) would not look the same after the discussion process is over (we most likely would end up with a combination of both proposals or something completely different). I promise to do a nice professional looking montage in Photoshop of the selection of photos that would be chosen at the end of the discussion/s, so don't you worry about that. We should give this process about a week or maybe even a bit more (based on the participation levels) until we would eventually reach a wider consensus on this matter. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 02:44, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Because it does look very professional! I should have studiet Photoshop when I had the time :-) Looks useful! 94.3.21.223 (talk) 15:03, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
