Hey!
How are you Ynhockey? Good to see you're still active.

I have a question and I was hoping you could help me. What can you tell me about Ian Bickerton? I'd much appreciate it.--Sherif9282 (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks anyways. I guess I'll have to do my own digging. Take Care. --Sherif9282 (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

P.S., sorry I didn't sign off my question.

fixing broken links at domino.un.org
Hi, When a link at domino.un.org goes dead, there is usually an equivalent one at unispal.un.org. A quick way to find it is to google for the second long code that appears in the URL. For example, to find the replacement for " http://domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/9a798adbf322aff38525617b006d88d7/ab14d4aafc4e1bb985256204004f55fa!OpenDocument ", google for "ab14d4aafc4e1bb985256204004f55fa".

Reassessment of WP Israel pages
I can't say I'm 100% surprised, given some of your previous editing, but following me around and reassessing my assessments raises some concerns. Somehow I get the feeling we are working at cross-purposes, which is really a pity.--Gilabrand (talk) 12:32, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Israel Prize recipients
Hi Ynhockey. Your User page, under "Lists of red links for article creation", includes a link to User:Ynhockey/Israeli prize winners, a list of 1950's Israel Prize recipients for which articles need to be created. As you are aware, I have been working on creating articles for Isreal Prize recipients and, in fact, there are now articles for all recipients through to 1959, accordingly no "red links" remain in your list. Davshul (talk) 09:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Please flag URL typos so they can be fixed, instead of removing references and blanking material
Why did you remove this material and its reference because of a minor typo in the URL?

It only took a moment for me to do a google search using the news article title to check that reference was valid and to find the correct URL. In future could you let me know if I have made a typo on my user talk page before blanking material? Thank you. Factsontheground (talk) 12:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Factsontheground, I invite you to review WP:AGF. Your accusations here certainly seem to suggest lack of adherence to that policy. Breein1007 (talk) 16:26, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


 * What accusations, Breein1007? It's funny how you've come straight from an AFD of an article I wrote straight to this unrelated discussion I am involved in. Factsontheground (talk) 02:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * This does not fall under WP:BLP because the material was sourced. There was a minor, 4-character typo in the URL field; however the news article was still correctly referenced by other identifying features, such as the title, publisher, author and date.
 * Checking that a source exists is not "research", Ynhockey. It takes a few moments and should be standard procedure before deleting any sourced material. Factsontheground (talk) 02:05, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Ynhockey, again this matter does not fall under WP:BLP because the material was sourced. The Ynet News article was correctly referenced by several identifying features, such as the title, publisher, author and date. There was a minor, 4-character typo in the URL field, but that was easily fixed given the other information.
 * I do not believe you quite understand Wikipedia's WP:PRESERVE policy. The person seeking to remove useful content must make a reasonable effort to correct inaccuracies and fix problems first. The fact that you did not care to check if the source existed before removing it, and also did this multiple times without making the slightest effort to check the source, does not help your argument. Please be much more careful next time when removing useful sourced information from Wikipedia.
 * You also accuse me of failing to check the source material. Of course I checked the source material -- how else could I have written the claims made in the source into Wikipedia? As I have repeatedly said, I made a 4 character typo in the URL. This was no error on my part but due to an internal URL changes on the Ynet News website. Please assume good faith and refrain from personal attacks. Factsontheground (talk) 02:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Article of possible interest
Hi, I found at a stub Iftach Spector was speedy-deleted one day after creation on the grounds of non-notability. Clearly the subject is notable so I restored it. Needs work, though. Zerotalk 11:48, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Language barrier
Hi,

The problem of the copyright on the image has been solved (email of copyright release sent) Can you tell me what's the problem with the new section ? I am new to Wikipedia ... I just added the section where I saw fit Is there anything wrong with that ?

Thanks --Mahdi.mrabet (talk) 19:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Thanks for your answer, I'll keep that in mind for my future contributions ... Although, I have an additional question ... in the case there are other editors who have doubts about something, shouldn't they first express those doubts and then if no convincing answer is given delete the section ? I find deleting a section directly is a little bit rude ... It would discourage people from contributing ...

Thanks --Mahdi.mrabet (talk) 23:54, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Why did you delete my edit on Jewish Resistance Movement?
Is there some kind of rule that Jews/Israelis can't be terrorists even if they bomb INNOCENT CIVILIANS? They were terrorists just as much as Al Queda is today. Not freedom fighters. Not radicals. Terrorists. Bombing trains amounts to terrorism. Please refrain from deleting other editors contributions unless you have a legitamite reason to do so and are not acting on behalf of your own opinion.173.79.118.170 (talk) 21:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Re Mentorship for Mbz1
I saw that you had offered to mentor Mbz1, I think that is an excellent idea with or without the lifting of existing restrictions on her. I fear that she might be skirting very close to violating her current restrictions as well as needlessly exacerbating conflicts. I/A related ANI thread to which she was not a party. I think she could benefit from your mentoring. Kind Regards, Unomi (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Pictures, etc
I wondered if you could help me with pictures? The link to the Hebrew wp in both Sandala, Israel and Al-Bassa reveal pictures ..which are not on commons. From the license it looks as if they could be moved to commons? (I´m just guessing..) If so, it would be great if it was done... (hint, hint)

Another issue; we have just started a new article, Sheikh Bureik, Lajjun. Now, following "what links here" on commons on one of the pictures, I found the He-article, which I linked to. (see: http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/שייח'_אבריק ). Since I have absolutely no idea as to what the article is about(!) -could you please check to see that it is relevant? Thanks! Cheers, Huldra (talk) 17:05, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the pictures! And I guess the link is sort of relevant, since the Sheikh Bureik, Lajjun-article is both about the village and the shrine. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 06:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

...and more pictures; following "what links here" on commons on some interesting pictures led me to these two articles:
 * http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/קבר_סית_מנע


 * http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/גבעת_הברושים

I know both are in the Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut-area, and I am trying to find out if any of them are mentioned my books on Muslim architecture. Is it possible to find the co-ords of the place? Cheers, Huldra (talk) 16:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, Zero managed to find them on a SWP-map. They are, as I thought, both in the Modin-area, but since I don´t have any literature on them: I´m not starting any articles on English wp about them. Thanks anyway, cheers, Huldra (talk) 12:49, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Tel Saki
Hello Ynhockey. I was wondering if you could provide some help with this Hebrew name. This mountain is called Tel Saki in the article (תל סאקי‎, Tel Saki), which I suspect is not quite precise (does saki mean anything particular in Hebrew?), because it seems that the name is derived from an arabic word (in addition to having Tel, rather than Har). I asked Nsaum75 and he suggested it might be "ma-shakeh" instead, which makes more sense because it translates into exactly the same meaning as the arabic word (Saki, ساقي). But I just needed to confirm that from a native speaker, and maybe if you can provide the Hebrew script for it, so we can fix it. Thanks. Yazan (talk) 07:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)


 * amudanan calls it תל א-סקי not  תל סאקי . Zerotalk 07:53, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Native speaker? ;-) Anyway, more importantly, it's not a native speaker that would help. It's confirmation from someone that it has a different name in Hebrew. Some sites have retained their Arabic names and been transliterated into Hebrew. Breein1007 (talk) 15:01, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Breein1007, yeah Ynhockey just confirmed that on my talk page. Thanks for the response Ynhockey. Cheers! Yazan (talk) 15:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Template:Script/Hebrew

 * wasn't huge for Hebrew script. Also you have reverted the order of fonts that I made. --Mahmudmasri (talk) 17:24, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Lucida Grande is probably for MacIntosh. However, they have Times New Roman. About SBL Hebrew, it's the best font I know that can display nikudot (dots) clearly without the need for huge text sizes. I installed it, it's great. All of these fonts "SBL Hebrew", David, Narkisim, "Times New Roman", "Ezra SIL SR", FrankRuehl, are put into order from the best to the worse. So, now it makes sense for the order. Lucida Grande doesn't always show nikudot properly. If you were able to see nikudot of this word clearly now then you must be superman :D That template אֱלֹהִים  אֱלֹהִים is useless as it doesn't choose any appropriate Hebrew font. They had to omit the Holam in Elohim so that fonts such as Tahoma won't show it as this: אֱלֹהִים If the Holam isn't on the Lamed without a space between Lamed & He, then the font doesn't render Hebrew script with nikudot properly. The template is as useless as {{lang|ar|...)) --Mahmudmasri (talk) 03:14, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop editing of The 13th Tribe.
"Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. —Ynhockey"

1) From looking at your profile, I know you may well have a vested interest in changing it to fit your ideals, but that doesn't excuse it.

2) In reality there is really no need to even have a section on genetics about said book because there is very little to no discussion of genetics in the book. That aside it's doubly pointless considering there is already other such discussions in other articles on Wikipedia which should be linked to instead.  (Do note how it was left by me on the article in the interest of fairness something I think you should evaluate of yourself before you start making changes to others contributions).

3) Making a correct observation about this study based on the source of this research is not invalid. This is even more the case considering the source is available for everyone to check.  Asking me to cite a reliable source when I'm referring to the source in question is absurd, unless you consider that source to be invalid or the statement I made counter to your agenda, but either way there was no cause for editing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.9.123 (talk) 14:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
