Hello HIZKIAH!
Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for
your contributions. I think its very important for you to browse through some of the links below so as to become familiar with how Wikipedia works. If you need any help you can ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and another
Wikipedian will show up shortly. Please remember to
sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you're already loving Wikipedia and plan on becoming a Wikipedian you might consider being "
adopted" by a more experienced editor, just paste {{Adoptme}} into your
userpage and you will gladly be adopted! You might also consider joining a
WikiProject so as to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. Click
here for a directory of all the WikiProjects. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the
edit summary field. Happy editing!

Thank you for taking this on. I think I have laid out my opening position adequately, and of course will respond when the other party has said something.--

May I please ask why you reverted to a vandalized version?
Dahn 14:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)reply
I don't know which version is a vandalized, you should stop edit war first. See
WP:Mediation. --HIZKIAH (

No, HIZKIAH, when sourced information is removed, it counts as simple vandalism.
Dahn 14:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)reply
Please mediate this case. I erased indeed some info added by
User:Dahn after he reverted my version saying that it was "vandalism". i did not notice that he had added content at the samne time. He does the same (reverts with the explanation "rv vandalism") to all my other contributions, in fact. If you are willing to mediate I can explain the core of the disagreement. Note that on these articles,
User:Dahn has had conflicts with all the other active editors. Thanks. (

I will mediate if both parties agree. --HIZKIAH (

I wrote a more thorough explanation on
Talk:Valter Roman.
User:Dahn is a regular edit warrior, but the problem is that his blocks are always overturned.

Blocked as a sockpuppet
You have been

Thanks for your support during my recent RfA, and for wishing me luck -- I just might need it, since the RfA succeeded. ^_-

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. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s].
Thanks largely to the efforts of
Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See:
Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved.
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...

Sir Moses Montefore, a Jewish activist who died 123 years ago this month
"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.

2012 Election Need Your Feedback
I noticed you were a regular editor on the 2008 election page. Myself and other editors are odds on some edits we are trying to make to the page. Since you have already been involved in probably similar discussion, we would greatly appreciate hearing your feedback on the 2012 election discussion page under the Republicans and Ruled Out discussions
