Sefeika D'Yoma
Hi Yoninah, Sefeika D’Yoma is a new article I have just written up (it is important to help understanding what Shemnini Atzeret is about in relation to Hoshana Rabba and Simchas Torah), please help by improving with sources and more information. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 10:16, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Yaakov Ades
— Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:03, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DO
Take a gander at the page Uman it is loaded with hardcore subtle Russian anti-Semitic invective. They changed Russian Hasidim to Soviet Hasidim, in the modern Ukranian upbringing Hasidic Jews were behind Stalin, unless you know that you might just think it's bad English. But if you look at the record you will see it was purposely changed by a Ukranian or Polish anti-Semite. Then it blames multiple riots on Hasidim, again beyond crazy, first these incidents were started by the locals, and more importantly much more importantly it's not important enough to be on the page! Beyond a sentence at most. Makes me think about what it must have been like for the Jews living there what they must have gone through, throughout the ages, everything exaggerated, so they can never get fair treatment. The accusation under the heading "Conflict" is that Hassidic Jews get drunk and fondle women before "attacking" the populace. Even if those racist allegations were remotely true, would they be important enough to mention in the whole history of the city CRAZY!!! Compared to the fact that Jews were compltely wiped out of there at least twice, once by the Cossacks and once by the Nazis, you would think the Jews are pretty evil, reading that.Jhgtnlrs dnbtojn (talk) 19:45, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/List of awards and nominations received by Hill Street Blues
Yoninah, can I ask you to revisit this one last time? Tony has basically said he's done all he's going to do; you're the best judge of whether it needs to be closed, which seems likely based on your last comments. Please give it an icon based on its current status. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:18, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, as long as I'm asking, Template:Did you know nominations/Karađorđe (film) could use a revisit. It looks like 23 editor did a couple of editing sessions, making some changes in the article, but has been active doing a great deal of editing elsewhere since October 27. It's been over a week since that last edit, so it's probably time for an update to the nom page. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Esquire of the Body
About the citations. There is a slight formatting difference between cite book etc and citation it is to do with the separators and the postscript. But the more major difference is the use of the parameter "refs=" by default it is not set and has to be set explicitly if the harv templates are to link to the content of cite book while the parameter is set by default in the citation template.

As to the linkage I think that url links ought link to the description of the book (eg the google book page, or the page title page within the book. Chapterurl should link to the chapter. If a link is provided to a page then it should link to the page. Now one can provide a link to the page in the short citation, sfn but that bloats the in-line citation when view in edit mode, so I think it better to place them in the long citations at the end. As a rule I normally only include a link to the first cited page as a courtesy and assume that the reader can fend from themselves for the rest. Here are two example of what I mean:

Template:Did you know nominations/Amplify Tablet
Hi. My initial hesitation was due to my uncertainty about reviewing an article about a commercial product. I had explicitly said that I didn't have any major concerns about the hook. I'm also confused how you didn't find the figure of a month in the source I linked; it's right there. So the approval was partly based on my opinion and partly based on an unjudicious reading of your concerns; I suppose I had assumed that if you proposed ALT3 that you must think it suitable.

Reminder to remind the creator of an article about an AfD
Hi Yoninah: I always try to notify the creator of an article when nominating his/her work for AfD or CfD as the case may be, using an AfD template such as Template Afd-notice. In your recent nomination of Articles for deletion/Eliezer Palczynski you overlooked informing the creator of the article i.e. User who happens to be a dedicated editor of Judaic topics whenever he can get the time to work on articles. Kindly note that on Articles for deletion it advises that: "...'It is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion'." I have now created a section on his talk page for this User talk:Rachack, since maybe he still wants to respond. You may not be aware but WP sends automated and automatic Email notifications to users when there are posts on a user's talk page, so maybe he could have gotten the notification via that route. Best wishes, IZAK (talk) 16:53, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Hook promotion?
Hi Yoninah, I'm looking for someone other than me to promote the hook for Beholder (horse) at T:TDYK where it's been approved but has been languishing for a while. I ask because the DYK queue is empty, and the bot is panicking (again). I promoted several hooks the other day, and will go promote some more now, but I can't promote the article that I nominated, so looking for someone active at DYK who can. Tag, you're it?

Just a note.
Gilabrand's edit which you cite is understandable. It is not stricto sensu NPOV, in that it simply represents Israeli usage. There appears to be a lexical drift in the post-1967 areas Israel occupied. If a township is built within the East Jerusalem area, since it is, in Israel's view, part of a unified Jerusalem, it must be called a (cosy) neighbourhood. This extends also to Palestinian-majority areas like Silwan. If it goes outside the Jerusalem muncipality over the 1967 lines, then it may be called a 'settlement'. If you follow her citation for that usage, you will observe that this distinction is used.
 * "the Neve Yaakov neighbourhood of disputed east Jerusalem.(note 'disputed East Jerusalem' is elided by Gilabrand."
 * The article then adds:
 * "Yesterday, Olmert approved 530 new settler homes in Givat Ze'ev, a Jewish settlement near the Palestinian administrative centre of Ramallah, in the West Bank. Abbas has demanded a halt to all construction of settlements."

Compare AAP this "Although Israel's annexation of east Jerusalem is not internationally recognised, it considers these settlements to be neighbourhoods of the city. SBS News, 31 Oct 2013." Any number of sources can be cited to justify either 'neighbourhood' (Israel POV) or 'settlement' (Palestinian/International law perspective). No one has ever ironed this out. But it is in any case not NPOV. Regards. Nishidani (talk) 15:12, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I had misread "bald URLs" as "bad URLs", not having encountered that particular turn of phrase before.

A DYK discussion
Thanks for your valuable contribution and support in the DYK discussion for Mersin Interfaith Cemetery. I admit that the dead link was my personal fault. I was busy in creating Association for the Support of Contemporary Living when I got the feedback from the DYK template and it seems I've mixed the references. As for the area, yes there are conflicting figures for the exact area and I got the most reliable figure from the maps which unfortunatelly are not written sources. And one thing more, it seems you used the 2nd source to add Armenians to the list of religions. Of course there are many Armenians in the cemetery. But Armenian is a name of people and not a name of a religion. Do you think it's a good idea to add Armenian to the list of religions ? Cheers. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:18, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
