Obadiah_Shoher (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (restore|AfD)

Obadiah's blog was recently voted the Best Overall blog in People's Choice Jewish and Israeli blog awards. The doubts about vanity and reality of the author appear exaggerated. The article also mentioned that Obadiah's followers launched massive demonstrations in Ukraine and brought down several websites. There seems no doubt that Obadiah is for real. As for the argument that Obadiah is not known in Israel, the article is clear that he uses pen name to avoid indictment on charges of racism and incitement. 83.143.237.207 17:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a Friendly Reminder
Just a friendly reminder, but the image recently added to T:DYK was not protected properly. Up until just now, only the local page was protected, leaving the Commons image vulnerable to vandalism (as the commons image was not locally uploaded). --  tariq abjotu  19:39, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Help with page move
Hi, Yomangani - Happy New Year ! I encountered new editor when he nominated Korean G-7 for WP:FAC, and have been helping him learn the ropes. He has now decided the article would be better moved back to HSR-350x (apparently the more official name), but he already set that page up as a redirect to the G-7 article, so he needs admin help for the move. He inquired on my talk page; are you able to help ? Best, Sandy Georgia (Talk) 00:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks - that was speedy :-) Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 01:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Plurality in carom billiards
Actually I'm not sure. The Commons uploader didn't give enough information and th language and grammar construcion of 400 years ago was quite different. It certainly reads better plural:-) It might be that it's best to simply convert to modern English spelling entirely, i.e., put the "i" in billiards, and be done with it.--Fuhghettaboutit 21:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Yomangani, I just came across via a back link to TS - I don't know what to do with this. ?? Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:49, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Mine too. Not the most riveting nom I've seen, which is a pity as the photo is a bit different from Monochrome Portrait no. 3765. Any other suggestions? Glass eye, uncle was a pirate, collection of toenail clippings? Yomangani talk 14:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This made me chuckle. I've been advocating better hooks lately but have gotten the feeling that I am regarded as either an ogre or a mad man.  I am glad this hook lacked enough lustre that someone else had to clear their throat and comment.  I've enjoyed your DYK's lately, BTW.

Yomangani, are you able to make Featured article review/Sequence profiling tool go away? It appears to have been an error: Sequence profiling tool was later submitted to fac and failed - maybe the person just put it in the wrong place? It's not an FA.

New peer review of Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan
Hi Yomangani. You come highly recommended by User:Yannismarou! Yannis reviewed the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan article in an earlier peer review, and after I exhausted his suggestions, he recommended that I solicit your feedback. I would really appreciate if you would take the time to read the article and provide your comments at the article's current peer review page. Kind regards Cimm[talk] 00:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yomangani, I just wanted to thank you for the valuable feedback you provided on the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan article. After reviewing your comments and those of other reviewers, I have updated the article. If you have a moment to take another look, any additional thoughts would be much appreciated! Thanks again Cimm[talk] 02:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello again Yomangani! I thought I would let you know that I have just nominated the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan article as a Featured Article candidate.

Four Stages of Cruelty
Oh, you fiend! It was on my unwritten list. Should it perhaps be at The Four Stages of Cruelty? (I have created a redirect anyway.)

V for Vendetta
Hi Yomangani,

In regards to your comments regarding references in the "Differences" section, how would one go about managing a "differences" section without running into trouble with OR/POV? There are some parts that are incredibly difficult to find secondary sources for. So you have to use the primary sources. My understanding is that this would largely consist of simply comparing the plot summaries between the two, and only include descriptive information. (E.G. Harper is in the novel, but not in the film). However, I can't help but still think that this whole process is somewhat soft. Could you shine some insight as to what is acceptable and what isn't? It would be much appreciated.--P-Chan 05:23, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

"The longest FARC of all time"
The V for Vendetta review (film) is indeed it. I'm determined to get the damn thing closed. Have your referencing concerns been taken care of at all? Marskell 04:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Ew. I just noticed P-Chan had posted above. Sorry if it's like pulling teeth re-reading it again. Marskell 04:39, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


 * OH no! You don't get off that easy!  :)  You mentioned yourself that there were two things left unresolved!  And I think (considering I'm leaving after this), that we should resolve them... just for the sake of closure.  :)  (Thanks BTW, for clarify what you meant in regards to the differences section.  That's a huge relief, otherwise I'm guessing I'd have to find references for every little morsel).  Anyways, here they are...


 * 1) I think the Stephen Rea things has been fixed. If I'm not mistaken, it now has a logical structure that is similar to the John Hurt entry.  What do you think?
 * 2) Wasn't the Monte Cristo connection explicitly mentioned in the film? V and Evey both watch it together and discuss why it's his favorite film, and at the end of the film she calls V Edmund Dantes.  (I think it's an explicit.)  What's your opinion on this?--P-Chan 07:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

DYK Image
Although I agree with you that the image didn't show a civil war, if you swap out images from DYK in future please make sure they are protected. Image:East Kowloon Corridor.jpg wasn't. Cheers, Yomangani talk 15:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello, Yomangani. Nishkid64 had already protected that image at 23:16, 2007 January 15 (UTC), about 15 hours before I posted it on DYK at 14:27, 2007 January 16 (UTC). I just unprotected (& deleted) it a few minutes ago. What's the problem ? --PFHLai 16:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Odd, I didn't see the local copy when I went to unprotect it after I updated DYK (which is why was still there just now). Sorry about that. Yomangani talk 16:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, Yomangani. I'm glad to see more admins like you keeping an eye on things on MainPage. Cheers. --PFHLai 16:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

New template
That new FA template you created is fantastic. I just put it on an article I wrote and promoted to FA, and it makes the talk page look lots less cluttered. Thanks again. Jeffpw 11:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

FAR
Me again. Could you check out the edit history at FAR? There is a relatively new user who is delisting several articles there, and not following all the steps. I have messaged him about it, but he has continued. Maybe it's all perfectly in order, but it seems a bit fast, to me, especially since he has never discussed anything at FAR before, from his contribution list. Thanks. Jeffpw 19:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I am also relatively new to FAR, so I just cleaned it up as best I could and messaged everybody I could think of (see my contribution history for a complete list). If it happens again, I will do as you suggested, and revert. For the record, I would never dream of doing something like that in FAR!!!! My personal feeling is that all FA stuff has to be handled like Plutonium. I only started there recently in order to give Sandy some support while she is out of town. I plan on becoming more active, but I tend to go slowly in areas I am not familiar with. Once again, thanks. Jeffpw 23:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much
Yomanigani, I wanted to thank you for improving my article Updown Court, you did a fabulous job. It might even get selected for DYK soon. Thanks again, I hope I can improve my other articles just as well as you. - Anonymous Dissident. This is later on. I have tried to learn how to referance, and have done a fairly good job on Abus Gun. But there is something wrong. The footnotes, they appear too repetitive. Please look. You'll know when you see it for yourself. -Anonymous Dissident. Abus Gun

Good work
When I have time, I like to skim through the DYK candidates and note those that need alot of work before they can go to DYK next update. There's a few editors whose work I know is always excellent and could pretty much be pushed forward unseen... comes to mind, as does and definately you. I just wanted to send you a pat on the back for such consistantly excellent work. Shaundakulbara 08:07, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

J-ska
Thanks for your assistance with the J-ska AfD proposal, Yomangani san. I was hoping you might get involved but I didn't want to breech protocol and contact you about it. If you or any of your contacts could add to the article how "J-ska" is rendered in a Japanese script before the article goes to DYK that would be a bonus. スキャンダルの家 (House of Scandal) 03:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Poecilostomatoida
Thanks also for adding the taxobox to Poecilostomatoida. I knew it needed one but I got lazy and wanted to watch television (The Reckoning, Ugly Betty and a bunch of Cartoon Network shows). The taxobox with all those families listed in totally screwed up the lay-out of the article, offending my sense of balance and motivating me to exapand the article so everything looks nice on the page, which is a good thing. スキャンダルの家 (House of Scandal) 11:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio
Hi Yomangani, I take your concerns seriously, about the copyvio. I was just curious about exactly to what extent I need to change, is there actually a cemented set of rules, or is each case based separately? I did not copy and paste from the site, note that you cannot on that webpage, and I did reword it, but when you say I need to write my own article, but use the references.. how differant exactly does it have to be? And is there a particular section of the text that concerns you most? thanks, waiting for your reply,-Anonymous Dissident

This is later, I've fixed it up, written it myself, please look, I hold your opinion highest, and I know quite a few admins!

Ok, thank you for your help, I will attempt to fix the u boat articles and timeline up, but I'm not exactly sure how to create one of those infoboxes. Which one do you advise for the cathedral?

DYK
Yomangani, I've tried updating Template:Did you know/Next update. Procedure isn't entirely clear - it seems logical to wait until the entries "go live" before removing them from Template talk:Did you know. I noticed other users do it differently. Feedback welcome! – Outriggr § 22:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Entirely a coincidence. :) Thanks for the info - I think I've now done everything required short of the admin stuff. – Outriggr § 23:10, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Nice work on the Cock throwing article - I'm jealous that you got to write the article before I heard about the sport (I've a history of unusual sport articles). A nice job you've done too. violet/riga (t) 22:59, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Seria Ludo
Hi. I just created a goofy, hopefully humorous user page called "Seria Ludo", the main context of which is me complaining about the length of the DYK hook we used for Fauna of Scotland. The following text is from the bottom of the page: I wanted you to read my kind words before the rest of the page. I hope the essay makes you smile rather than frown. Thanks. House of Scandal 03:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yomangani - The assortment of articles you produce reveals a sharp intelligence and a sense of humor. I therefore hope you take my teasing in good spirits.  As you've agreed that sharp hooks are preferred, please consider brevity or the lack thereof before posting on the main page.  Maybe you were a hurry today or something, no big deal.  It all worked out for the best as that 40 word hook gave me a great opportunity for cathartic satire.

Just a Tip?
Listen, this is Anonymous Dissident. I hope I havent been bugging you - I've been asking alot of questions of you lately - but you have such a large range of articles, so much variety! Do you think you could tell me where you get your ideas? Is it from wikiprojects, or do you just have an awesome general knowledge, or is it from somewhere else. Your answer will be greatly appreciated. Anonymous Dissident

RE: Thank you for your ideas. No, I do not speak any language other than English however, but I am interested in your ideas. However, 1 thing remains unanswered - are you part of any wikiproject that supplies you with any of these article ideas? Again I say, your articles, while being very good, are dissimilar to each other, almost to the point of randomness! I've looked for fauna and flora, but I just really do not know where to search. In any case, your help has been great, and I thank you very much. Your adminship is well placed I believe.

How frustrating. No. I didn't upload it, and it iwas included in Fauna of Scotland. I can find a replacment of course, but I suspect this was just vandalism of an excellent picture. Thanks for the DYK by the way. Ben MacDui (Talk) 08:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
