  • Hi. Unfortunately, individual houses of worship - or in this case, an individual chabad house - are generally considered to lack notability for inclusion. On the other hand, if this particular chabad is historically notable in some way, it would require confirmation via verifiable third-party sources as to the notability. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:24, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
    • Never mind...I missed the part about the menorah. I'll restore it for you right away. Sorry about the inconvenience. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:25, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I just did per my above comment. I simply missed the coverage regarding the menorah in the park. It's good to go. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:26, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Welcome to the madness.  :) Believe me, we're here to help and not just delete content. If you need a hand, just let me know on my talk page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:27, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sure. When you're in edit mode, look at the toolbar above the article. The icon sixth from the left will give you this message: [[File:Example.jpg]]. Simply replace the word "example" with the name of your jpg file. You can upload pictures to Wikimedia Commons as well and the link will still work the same way. If you don't replace the word "example," you get this as a sort of placeholder:   --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Chabad houses

edit

I think it's great that you're trying to rescue the list of Chabad houses - even if the article is kept, most of those external links will have to be removed, so it's good that you're creating pages for houses that actually are notable. Make sure you add them to the list article! Roscelese (talkcontribs) 21:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

...Do make sure they're actually independently notable, though. I see other editors have called that into question. Roscelese (talkcontribs) 04:21, 31 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Redundant and poorly written articles

edit

Hi A.E.Moeller: Thank you for your recent contributions. I have read what you wrote but you have created very poorly written, repetitious WP:STUBs that go nowhere and say the same thing relating to Chabad houses. In the process you are violating WP:CONTENTFORKING and it even looks like you are spamming Wikipedia violating WP:ADVERT with a few sentences about a couple of Chabad houses just to get them mentioned on WP. Note, Wikipedia is not Chabad.org, as per WP:NOTADVERT. As they stood, the sparse repetative stubs would never have survived, so I have done you and the articles a favor by moving all content and citations as well doing some needed WP:COPYEDITing and saving them by WP:REDIRecting them as follows:

  1. Chabad of Bangkok redirects to History of the Jews in Thailand#Chabad of Bangkok
  2. Chabad of Venice redirects to History of the Jews in Italy#Chabad in Venice
  3. Chabad of Southampton (NY) redirects to Chabad house#Chabad of Southampton (center of Chabad in NY)
  4. Chabad of Boca Raton redirects to History of the Jews in southern Florida#Chabad of Boca Raton
  5. Chabad House at Rutgers University redirects to Rutgers University student organizations#Chabad House
  6. Chabad House at Harvard redirects to Harvard College#Chabad House
  7. UCLA Chabad House redirects to University of California, Los Angeles#Chabad House

Please DO NOT create more stubs that just say the same thing over and over again because that will only open the door to WP:AFDs. Please feel free to stay in touch with me or to get more input from other Judaic editors at WP:TALKJUDAISM BEFORE you create masses of repetitious articles almost overnight. Thanks again and best wishes, IZAK (talk) 00:37, 31 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
