Re:"True church" in Hebrew wiki

I give my sincere apologies if the church beliefs of my denomination has offended you in any way (I am merely translating our church beliefs into the wonderful and unique Hebrew language). Perhaps you can help change the phrase "Our Lord" to "The Lord Jesus" to make it more consistent.

Regards --Jose77 09:16, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not offended by the contents. The problem was the use of the first person terminology, which implies the reader is a co-believer, which is not always true. I will try to fix the phrasing a bit. DGtal 09:21, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Great, thanks.

Yes, you were too quick for me. I added the interwiki link a few minutes before I saved the English article, hence for a brief period of time it had no target. Anyway, happy it's all good now. Thanks for being on top of things! Kol tuv. Dfass 19:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Your contact info

Hi DGtal: You have not enabled your Wikipedia Email feature in your "tool box" on the left hand side of your user page. Sometimes editors overlook that when it's a useful way of staying in touch with other editors. Best wishes. Shabbat Shalom, IZAK 13:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Peter Atkins divorce date

Hello, I changed the divorce date because I noticed that it was orginally given as 2005 on the Atkins article, but 2003 on his ex-wife's (Susan Greenfield) article. The Observer seems to imply that they divorced in 2003 ("Susan has lived here since 2003, after her highly publicised divorce from fellow Oxford professor Peter Atkins.") This site says that they announced their "impending divorce" in 2003. - Gemtiger 21:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing. I appreciate your checking, and I'll go change it on Greenfield's page as well. - Gemtiger 22:19, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi David,

I replaces this with a free use image I found on Flickr of Rabbi Jonathan Sacks. I suggest you get this one deleted...

Thanks for finding and uploading it!  I've now deleted the above. Best wishes, David Kernow (talk) 00:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Request for revision

I think if you went ahead and changed it to a "do not use this template, please find a more appropriate template, such as one listed below", no one would object. It seemed to be a reasonably accepted solution in the debate. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 15:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

President of Israel

No worries. It was a mess, and the inclusion of the stand-ins in the list was annoying me. I also intend to remove the President boxes from their articles and replace them with the standard MK one. Number 57 08:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I personally don't like MK templates in President pages. It's a different type of position. DGtal 10:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Jewish Gordons

If you have anymore information about the history of the Jewish Gordons I would be very interested to hear it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ScrollMaker (talk • contribs) 22:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

There is no one history, as most Jewish Gordon's are not related. Most of them got the name from Eastern Europe, but in my case the name probably came from a bottle of Gin. DGtal (talk) 06:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Please, you could translate in Hebrew the article Fritz Muliar and in Yiddish the articles Martin Weinek and Fritz Muliar? I thank you in advance!

Good morning to you, Greetings from Campora San Giovanni. I write you regarding these articles, one if you can write in Hebrew and Yiddish: Muliar in fact it is of Jewish religion, grown with a Jewish stepfather of Russian origin. He fluently speaks over the German and the English, also the Hebrew and the Yiddish one. Therefore before him footsteps to good life, would want that he read or if not he doesn't know how to use the computer they made to read its biography in Hebrew and Yiddish, it is at work one worth of his that has done during the Second World war. For Weinek (or Vaynek) he is also an actor of the Kommissar Rex, but toward of him I feed a great respect in his comparisons. I would also want for him one biography of his in Yiddish, even if it is Christian. Could you do me this favor kindly? I will reciprocate the favor translating in Italian and Sicilian: a biography or a geographical article to your liking, in the Wikipedia Italiana they are biographer and geographer. In attends him of one certain answer of yours I in advance thank you and I offer you the regards from Campora San Giovanni, my village native. I thank you once more!--Lodewijk Vadacchino (talk) 11:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello. My Yiddish level is very low, so I cannot translate to or from it. About Fritz Muliar - I am far from the subject of acting, so I cannot create a reasonable tarnslation. Sorry, DGtal (talk) 13:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Category:Islam in the United States

Category:Islam in the United States - partly about relationship between US govt. and Islam as religion

Hi, there. I removed your addition of Category:Islam in the United States to Barack Obama speech at Cairo University, 2009. I don't think the article really fits that category (and I watched the speech live and read the transcript). Per the previous press briefing by Robert Gibbs, "The speech will be about America's relations with the Muslim world." It's not about or focused on Islam in the United States. Yes, references to the American tradition of freedom of religion and the standard of living and practice of Muslims in the United States was briefly mentioned, but that isn't the main theme. If you feel strongly about this, let me know. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 01:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining your point of view, which is logical and therefore correct. If you happen to ever create Category:Islam and the United States the speech could fit in. Good day. DGtal (talk) 20:59, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Chabad Library

Then feel free to move it to the proper name if you think that's the name. I moved it from where it was because "Chabad library" was clearly wrong and one of the sources used used the form I used. 01:38, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki

I saw you removed the interwiki from Ani Ma'amin. It was correct, but there is a problem with the rendition of the brackets from the Hebrew. Try this link. Perhaps you have any idea how to fix the interwiki? Debresser (talk) 19:06, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

The iw was incorrect. The article in hebrew is to a song by Shaul Tchernichovsky, but the english article takes about a song/line based on Rambam's 13 principles. BTW, the general solution to iw brackets is writing [[he: and the "copy paste" the he articles name. DGtal (talk) 08:57, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

You're right. Thanks. Debresser (talk) 09:09, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Zvi Ofer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Medal of Valor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Rafiah Yam

In the article Rafiah Yam you have twice removed the category Villages depopulated during the Arab–Israeli conflict. It is consistently in every former Gush Katif village. Why should this one be done differently than all the others? - Galatz (talk) 13:17, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

It shouldn't. I believe the category should be removed from all those articles, but in practice I only notices this one. If I am incorrect the category should include over 400 articles now in the various subcategories of the category we are discussing. DGtal (talk) 13:24, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

One Israel (1980)

Do you have a source for the party being disestablished in 1981? Cheers, Number 57 11:18, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

The article says it lost in the 1981 elections and I saw nowhere any sign of later activity. Note that before 1992 party lists and Knesset factions were not necessarily attached to a legal entity, so when the list loses never to return it's game over. DGtal (talk) 11:38, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Yael Dowker

"Hello, can you provide a source relating to the death of Yael Dowker?"

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to reply - sorry if it's not!

I was a friend of Yael, and I am also a friend of her daughter - Ann Dowker at Oxford University. Ann and Yael eschewed any publicity generally, and Ann took that approach when her mother died.

December 2022

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Around the World in Eighty Days, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please review WP:IPCV; you're welcome to reinsert your information with a third-party source. DonIago (talk) 19:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Doniago, what should I do if the vast majority of sources are either people or promotions related to the show, music databases (1999 album, 2007 album on spotify for example) or secondary databases? If I add a link to the youtube upload of the video of the show is that enough (1999 version, 2007 version)? Thanks, DGtal (talk) 06:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

If no secondary sources have discussed the show (i.e. reviews or otherwise a decent discussion of it), then I would argue that it's not significant enough for inclusion. DonIago (talk) 08:04, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

It's a Hanukka show - around this Jewish holiday there is a multitude of shows in Israelfor kids, mostly unrelated to the actual holiday that run sometimes dozens of times in a couple of weeks, then vanish till next year (the Festigal has been doing it for 40 years). This show has been successful enough to be in stage multiple years (just found a 2021 production reference) so I think is is notable. DGtal (talk) 08:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

If it's that significant then it would seem to follow that there should be seconary sources that have discussed it, yes? DonIago (talk) 03:53, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

It's not significant as in something I would discuss in a theatre course or write a paper about. I is significant in the sense of a musical that was seen live by tens of thousands and later by many more on TV, video and streaming and having the soundtrack heard years later on music apps. DGtal (talk) 07:33, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

From how you're describing it, it still sounds as though some secondary source somewhere should have found it significant enough to talk about at some point, though? I'm not expecting an entire essay about it or such, but musicals do get talked about, at least in the form of reviews, at some point unless they're really not particularly important. DonIago (talk) 17:12, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

@Doniago thanks. Unless I find any meaningful reviews I'll leave it as it is. Should I summarize our conversation in Talk:Around the World in Eighty Days or is there no point at the moment? DGtal (talk) 09:57, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't really feel there's any need to do that. If you'd like the opinion of additional editors though, you're welcome to do so. DonIago (talk) 13:16, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

This word did not originate in Arabic, but originated in Hebrew, and entered Arabic from Hebrew (or from English from Hebrew). Anything that gives the idea that it's a native Arabic word will be a sensitive issue with some... AnonMoos (talk) 18:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

The word is a neologism with zero real Hebrew in it. If you look in the Hebrew text the claim is that it was probably invented in Israel in 2004 but by 2005 was proudly used by Mahmoud al-Zahar (link), so I think the Arab context is fresh enough to warrant use.
