A small favour

Hello אשכנזישעיידן

I wonder if I could ask a little favour of you. Since you have knowledge of both Hebrew and Yiddish, could you please look at the Bad Kreuznach article, which I have recently expanded, and see that the Hebrew or Yiddish text that appears in a couple of places is correct? I have reason to believe, for instance, that the name "Kreuznach" might be spelt with the last two letters transposed, but I don't know.

One piece of text appears in a reference (currently no. 20) in the first line of the section Bad Kreuznach#Jewish population. This does not appear in the article's actual text (although it can be seen in the reference section down at the bottom); so you might wish to look at the source text. The other instances all appear in the same section as that reference, and all appear in the article's actual text (one towards the bottom).

Thank you for that. Kelisi (talk) 02:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

August 2013

Your edits on Template:Infobox Jews, namely addition of rows and people, have been reverted many times now. Since you don't seem to get the picture, let me spell it out for you. DO NOT make major edits without first establishing consensus. DO NOT make edits that you damn well know other editors disagree with. If you continue this way, you will be banned or blocked from editing Wikipedia, because Wikipedia is a community, and you can't damn well do what you please. Do you understand me now?! Debresser (talk) 15:03, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Just to clarify: the above is an official warning. Debresser (talk) 15:04, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Infobox Jews. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 15:12, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Infobox Jews

A tag has been placed on Template:Infobox Jews requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

I realize that you did not create this template, but the person who did create it left Wikipedia five years ago, and you are the most recent person to edit it substantively. The article Jews actually uses the template Template:Infobox ethnic group to communicate this information, not Template:Infobox Jews. Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:25, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of coups d'état and coup attempts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page House of David (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

It's not what you think, I had no choice but to change it on the article "Jews"

There was a crazy fanatical anti-Semite who decided that there's no evidence that the Jews descend from the Israelites, and that by saying that they do equals religious fanaticism. He decided to add that the Jews claim through their religion that they descend from the Israelites. I told him that there's genetic, archaeological and linguistic evidence to support the Israelite ancestry of most Jews worldwide (save small communities that descend from converts such as Ethiopian Jews, Yemenite Jews, Indian Jews and Chinese Jews). He told me then that the Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the supposed cursed line of Solomon, I told him that I'm not entering a debate on theology, and that his interpretation of the bible is his own, but on Wikipedia what we care about is verification and facts, rather than interpretation or speculation. He ignored that and continued to re-edit that part. Eventually he realised I was ethnically although not religiously Jewish, and started to claim I hate Jesus and that we (the Jews) kept the Christians in the dark when it comes to history before the year 0, I told him he's talking nonsense, but he just ignored and started calling me a religious fanatic, claiming that it's his job as an editor to keep religious nuts off Wikipedia (even though I explained to him that I'm Secular). Then eventually he started to threaten he'll report me, I reported him but no one answered, so I had to just come to a compromise with him. I then tried to say that I'm glad we reached an agreement and simply asked him what he is, a Christian, an Atheist or what? He claimed he was Christian and started going on a long rant against Jews (specifically Ashkenazi Jews), Zionism, Israel and his interpretation that the Ashkenazi Jews are a cursed people, that the Zionists supported Hitler during the Holocaust, that the Zionists try to hold on to a land that Jesus supposedly banished them from. Then he went on to say that Judaism is in my blood (even though Jews are an ethnicity and a religion, Judaism is simply the traditional religion of the Jewish people, and that the ethnicity part of Jews has something to do with genetics, culture linguistics etc but not about blood) and that it's in my blood to hate Jesus. He then went on to talk about the supposed genocide Trotsky committed killed a 100 million people and that Einstein stole info from the Germans, and that Freud and Carl Sagan were Jewish maniacs etc etc. Fortunately eventually the admins caught up to him and banned him. He then claimed that I was a Zionist spy meant to shut him up (I suppose that just by thinking Israel has the right to exist and by trying to explain to him that biblical interpretations aren't used on Wikipedia, rather verified facts etc makes me into a mouth shutting spy). Anyways, that's the reason it was there, and I'm glad you removed it, I'd have removed it myself but I forgot. I highly doubt that fanatic would ever doubt the Greeks who say they descend from the ancient Greeks, or the English who say they descend from the Anglo Saxons and the native Britons.

Please explain

Please explain why you changed 1350 to 1010 in this edit on Jews. If that was in the source, then perhaps you could add the page number? Debresser (talk) 20:04, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
