Jewish Encyclopedia
If you are coming to tell me i violated copyright laws concerning Jewishencyclopedia.com then please read what Jewishencyclopedia.com says it says the following "This website contains the complete contents of the 12-volume Jewish Encyclopedia, which was originally published between 1901-1906. The Jewish Encyclopedia, which recently became part of the public domain, contains over 15,000 articles and illustrations.
This online version contains the unedited contents of the original encyclopedia. Since the original work was completed almost 100 years ago, it does not cover a significant portion of modern Jewish History (e.g., the creation of Israel, the Holocaust, etc.). However, it does contain an incredible amount of information that is remarkably relevant today."

As you have been a primary editor and the nominator of Samson, I thought I would drop you a message informing you that the article has been placed on hold, and notes have been left on the talk page. Please make some of the requested edits. The article will be reviewed again shortly. Thank you for all of your hard work. -- PEPSI2786talk13:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First Edit
Happy First Edit Day! Hi Java7837! On behalf of the Birthday Committee, I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of the day you made your first edit and became a Wikipedian! ~~~~
Hi, Unfortunately the article has some problems. Most of the sources are primary. The primary sources are good for clarification but there should be some reliable sources for verification. Also there isn't enough information about Aaron in Islamic sources. You can use this to complete it. I would write a complete review if I had time. But I advise you to renominate it after solving these problems. God bless you.--Seyyed(t-c) 10:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Idea for Talmud articles
Hi Java7837: I am reposting the following request from User Sh76us (talk·contribs) on my user talk page for wider notification:
I was thinking of trying to stimulate development of a series of articles on Gemara concepts and doctrines, maybe to help children or newcomers to Gemara with explanations of some fundamental concepts that recur throughout the Gemara. Some examples might be articles on Yiush, Chazakah, Ta'aninun (as in "Ta'aninun L'Yoresh"), Eidim Zomemin (forgive my awful transliterations), Migu, etc., etc. Maybe we could even create a category or subcategory for it. I created Breira in this vein. As I don't have the experience or expertise in Wikipedia to know what to do to best develop this idea, I figured I'd come to you for your opinions on: (1) whether it's a good idea; and (2) How to best go about implementing it. Thanks Sh76us (talk) 15:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updating the barnstar template
Hi Java: I have now put the basic original {{Jewishbarnstar}} template you created into Wikipedia:Barnstars/Category and it now joins the list of all Wikipedia:Barnstars. However, to keep in line with the word formatting of all the other barnstars I had to use your old one to start a new {{The Jewish Barnstar}} template. I gave you full credit, as did User:Yahel Guhan when he had placed it into Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism. Please make sure the older template is no longer used. Thanks, IZAK (talk)
Very important: From now on, please only use the template this way to grant the Jewish barnstar: {{subst:The Jewish Barnstar|message ~~~~}} (the "subst:" is crucial). Thanks a lot! IZAK (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping with the vandalism problem. I'm open to suggestions, if you have any. Right now the options are to 1) survive edit warring, 2) give up and allow the vandalism to stick, or 3) create waste of space articles for people like Abraham the Monk who ARE notable, but only because they converted. Is there a fourth option? I don't feel like edit warring, I don't have time to research a book's worth of bio information right now, and I don't think it's good stewardship of Wiki server space to create 30 bio pages for people who are only notable BECAUSE of their conversion to Judaism when 1 subsection of a page is sufficient.Tim (talk) 10:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Only problem is that some of these people are only documented in books. I'd like to minimize the amount of money we'll have to shelve out on research.Tim (talk) 14:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PS -- I also noticed the anti-Jewish slant. He/She is requiring each person have separate articles, and trying to delete those articles at the same time.Tim (talk) 14:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
J, after reading through all of the notability guidelines, the clergy who convert definitely merit an article on that basis alone. Although I personally prefer one line to an article, Wikipedia seems to have lower standards than I would for brevity -- probably because they are a computer based resource and my instincts are still driven by old time "book" size contraints. Accordingly, I'll start adding the articles. I've saved a link to the older edit of the page so I won't lose those names. Also, I'll help you keep the page current so that other people will know which names to research. The next question is, how can we get some help? I don't have all of these books, and although I may actually get them, I don't have the time or the money to buy and read them all right now. But I'm certainly willing to play a part.Tim (talk) 15:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've never set up a project before -- but I'll catch up with you Sunday. Time to hit the road. The sun is chasing.Tim (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article's length meets the minimum criteria, but I still think it's a bit short for DYK. Also, there's only one in-line citation in the article. Could you possibly expand the article and use more in-line citations? Nishkid64 (talk)20:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm...I guess it's fine for DYK. I would accept it for DYK, but I'm not sure what others may think. However, I think the article's expired now, so it can't be featured on DYK. Nishkid64 (talk)03:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maimonides orthodox?
I'm really not sure why you put the Rambam in the Sephardi Orthodox rabbis category. Orthodoxy as a movement did not exist before the 19th century, and I can imagine that many people thought of him as rather unorthodox in his day! JFW | T@lk18:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you urgently clarify why you are separating ALL rabbis, even before the 19th century, into Orthodox categories. JFW | T@lk18:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In response to your message on my talkpage: the term "Orthodox" was not used before the 19th century. Before that time, it was just "Judaism" because no other term was applied to it. There was Karaism, and Sadduceism, and other branches that left the mainstream - but they did not apply the term "Orthodox" to the mainsteam either. Incidentally, Hirsch doesn't seem to have had problems with the term "Orthodox", so I cannot see why you think the term was purely derogatory.
My point about Maimonides is that in his day, many regarded him as deviating from the mainstream. Why else would they have burnt copies of his work?
I think your use of "Orthodox" for pre-19th century rabbis is a form of POV. I also think we need to discuss on WT:JEW whether you should continue categorising pre-19th century rabbis as "Orthodox". JFW | T@lk09:12, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw your category additions to Michel Dorfman and Eliyahu Chaim Rosen and was wondering why they're both not under "Hasidic rabbis in Israel"? Rosen was a teacher and role model who certainly fits this category description, which you added him to, but Dorfman, an honorary rosh yeshiva (more like an administrator) for the Breslov yeshiva in Jerusalem, is known as the quintessential Breslover chassid. I don't think he belongs in a catch-all category like "Israeli Orthodox rabbis." Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the quick editing work. But what's this new category, "Russian Orthodox rabbis"? Sounds like an oxymoron. And why is Michel Dorfman the only name in the category? He wasn't a rabbi in Russia. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 21:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, but Dorfman wasn't a rabbi — he was a shochet and a bookbinder. He was an honorary rosh yeshiva (read: administrator). He is not notable enough to have a category just for him! Yoninah (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are adding the category Orthodox to people who eat non-kosher and do not keep the Sabbath.
Just because someone is respectful of the tradition does not make them Orthodox, nor do people who grew up orthodox and then become famous necessarily still keep Kosher and sabbath. I do not want to discuss this on the individual pages of the people or be a witch hunt of observance, but many of the people that you added Orthodox to their bios are not observant at all. --Jayrav (talk) 04:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agnon was Orthodox until age 25 and then stopped for a few years and returned to his original practice by 32. He was only non-observant between 1913-1920. Not exactly a BT, he was only non-religious between schooling and marriage. He retained his Orthodox and Rabbinic connections throughout.
The article had originally, mistakenly placed his return in the 1950's, but he was raised orthodox and married orthodox by 1920. --Jayrav16:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There are several known gedolim who sowed wild oats in their youth during the difficult years of WWI and Turkish Palestine, but that does not make them BT's.--Jayrav (talk) 16:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Jewish Renewal
The name of the movement is "Jewish Renewal" - there is no such thing as "american renewal" - Jewish in the name of the movement is not an adj like Jewish reform or Jewish orthodox. The very name of the movement is "Jewish renewal". It would be nice if you switched those back. --Jayrav (talk) 04:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ron Killings is still being reported as having signed a WWE contract. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for his name to be continually added to the WWE Roster article, and information about his return being added to his article. There is also, apparently, an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick. Recent SmackDown! Taping spoilers indicate that he debuted under the name Kwik Killings in a Dark match. No reliable source has reported this as of now, however.

A tag has been placed on American Jewish Renewal rabbis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Michaels, and the whole WWE roster came out later to thank him as well.

Now with 200% more Jewishness!
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique.
A Special Dispatch
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News
A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not.

To Do
The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list)
[Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter.
WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

"Censorship" of names of G-d
There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh.
Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page.
WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject.
After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar!
To Do/Help Requests
If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible.
The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday.
We get a lot of articles that are being created and not announced! By announcing new articles, you attract attention to them, and the more people looking and editing the better they will get. If you would like your new article to appear in the newsletter, add it here for Judaism and Kabbalah and here for Jewish History.
There are some 40 odd standing requests for Judaism related articles. Please make them! I would, but I'm too busy writing this. .
This newsletter was automatically delivered because you are a member of one or more Judaism related WikiProjects. If you would like to opt out of future mailings, please remove your name from this list. As always, please direct all questions, comments, requests, barnstars, offers of help, and angry all-caps anti-semitic rants to my talk page. Thanks, and have a great month.

List of Converts
Have any idea what's motivating this? I've seen some weird things on Wikipedia, but there's some kind of hidden agenda here. It smacks me of antisemitism (and I'm normally the last person to think such a thing).SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 23:38, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd think long and hard about the fact that four people oppose the inclusion of this material, and only two people support it. Jayjg (talk)23:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Relying on numbers -- eh? There's always more of you folks around than us. But that doesn't change the Wikipedia principle that you don't need an entire article on someone before mentioning them in ANY article. That's completely absurd -- and you know it. SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 00:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The vandal is back. I'm still trying to pin down the motivation going on here so we can figure out how to deal with it. The vandal keeps citing a principle of needing additional articles, against contrary evidence from Wikipedia principle that I've cited to him several times. But a responsible editor who believed that other articles were needed would simply begin to create those articles. The fact that he refuses to do so leaves him as a simple vandal -- but no vandal is ever simple -- there has to be some kind of underlying motivation that we can appeal to. I always get flummoxed by insincerity, but I don't want to keep up some ridiculous edit war. The person seemed upset by the term vandal, but continued the vandalism. Again, I'm stumped. If he doesn't want to be called a vandal, why keep vandalizing? I'd suspect self-deception here, but there's something else involved. In any case, if we don't want to edit war against a vandal, are there any other processes to follow? We can't keep babysitting sourced information all the time. What of administrative help? Have you tried that?SkyWriter (Tim) (talk) 15:16, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I just did some checking. He's, somehow, an Admin!!! That I really can't figure. What's worse is that he seems to have a preoccupation with Jewish subjects. This could be a lot more serious a problem than I had previously guessed. There's some kind of unstated motive driving toward Jewish (and anti-Jewish) subjects.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
if you look at the accounts that nishkid64 claim to be socks, they were simply accounts all created on April 9 in which I was trying to remove uncited categories, they never did anything wrong. For example look at the one edit done by User:Jacobson Phillip, or the other alleged socks like User:Williamson 1957. I have done 10,000+ edits to wikipedia and have created more than 40 articles.

If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
At one time I did I make some socks to effect the result of an AFD, I didn't know we weren't allowed to do such. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Joseph3333/Archive but it should be noted that the end result was for Java7837 account to be blocked for 31 hours. I have never done such behavior after that incident. It also seems to odd that me and User:SkyWriter were both blocked at around the same time, since me and him were both advocates of keeping a large amount of material on the, Converts to Judaism article, while none of the supporters of deleting the large section of material were indefed blocked. I think him and me were blocked so as to prevent us from expressing our opinion on the Converts to Judaism, talk page--Java7837 (talk) 21:13, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
