– Compromise achieved and edit war ceased - CheshireKatz (talk) 17:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed you made a large, contentious change to this article without an informative edit summary and without discussing it. Could you please join the discussion on the talk page to explain your changes? Amaliq (talk) 02:55, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note. Regarding the Anti-Arabism article, I'm not really familiar with the current contents or disputes. I'll monitor it administratively to ensure, for example, that banned editors don't continue to edit there, and I'll try to keep an eye if edit wars break out, but other than that I'd prefer not to get involved. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Jayjg (talk) 00:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your understanding. I noticed you've been adding references sourced to "The Jewish News Weekly of Northern California". In reality, that's j. - you might want to add the proper link to the references. Jayjg (talk) 03:14, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, yes that information is on the Ron Paul Revolution page but currently that page is up for deleation, as well the $200,000 dollars from supporters goes nicely between campain finance and the moneybomb section. So I am putting it back. If the Ron Paul Revolution page stays it may be OK to delete it, then. Thanks,--Duchamps comb (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for the heads up. I hadn't noticed that. In that case I don't see a problem with resigning it to the Ron Paul presidential campaign, 2008 page until the deletion debate has been resolved. I wouldn't consider its acquisition particularly significant to his career as a whole, but definitely noteworthy in respect to his campaign. The goal as I mentioned on the talk page is to compress the section down to a few paragraphs. - CheshireKatz (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Cheshire. I wanted to share some thoughts with you on how to gain consensus on renaming the article Persecution of early Christians by the Jews. Perhaps you and I can agree upon a short list of two or three good alternatives and then work with editors such as Richard in order to form consensus.
Let me know if you're interested -- you can post your reply here so we can keep the discussion on one page. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that sounds great. I reevaluated my move request after thinking about Richard's argument against my initial proposal. The article arose when the Early Christian Persecution section of Persecution of Christians (primarily covering alleged acts by Romans & Israelites in the NT) got too unmanageable. The editors opted to resolve this by splitting the section into two subpages based upon the persecutors, Persecution of early Christians by the Jews & Persecution of early Christians by the Romans.
I think that's where the initial problem occurred. Instead of dividing the section based upon the alleged persecutors, it probably ought to have been divided based upon something less controversial, such as the sources. The Persecution of early Christians by the Romans is now largely a well-sourced historical account of the history of Christian treatment within the Roman Empire with only a handful of items sourced from Christian texts. By contrast the Persecution of early Christians by the Jews is almost entirely sourced in Christian texts and includes few reliable, published secondary sources other than those that deal with the historicity of Christian texts. This is why I think the articles can be nicely parsed into Early Christian persecution in the Roman Empire and Early Christian persecution in the New Testament, since they cover overlapping eras, but contain very different depictions.
Do you have alternative suggestion on wording and/or division of article content? I have to say that conversation has substantially died down since the move request was revised and, despite The Evil Spartan's revert (which I suspect might've been a bit reactionary), no opposition has been voiced, which I'm still tempted to interpret as silent acquiescence. - CheshireKatz (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm formulating some alternatives for article wording and will think about content division/combination possibilities. I'm optimistic we can come up with something that will work. I've got some off-wiki commitments tomorrow but will serve them up to you this weekend so we can bounce around ideas. Cheers, Majoreditor (talk) 02:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. Looks as if you and Richard have worked through the issues and hammered together a proposal. That's great; I think we can use it to reach consensus. Majoreditor (talk) 06:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
– Weighed in on discussion. - CheshireKatz (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CheshireKatz - In November you pointed out need for a cope note on Category:Christian companies, and I just proposed that we rename it to make your point explicit. Your comments and suggestions on the CFD (1/8) would be welcome. --Lquilter (talk) 01:49, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What's This? Shalom aleichem sports fans, and welcome to the first of what I hope will be a monthly newsletter with the need-to-know information about our fair WikiProject.

To Do
One new Judaism-related article was created this month, the long requested Hebrew Punctuation. Thanks to Epson291 for creating it. Remember, folks, there are over forty standing requests for Judaism articles, so whenever you get the opportunity make sure to go create a few.
In the right column you will see a listing of our most popular articles. All of these articles got 170,000+ page hits in the past month, and they should be on everyone's watchlist so we can keep them vandalism-free.
Spread the word! No, not the Word... (well, you can do that too) I'm talking about inviting knowledgeable users to join the project. You can proclaim your undying love of WikiProject Judaism in methods mild to wild, check the project template page and member list for examples. We also now have a flashy advertisement, to use it add ((Wikipedia ads|ad=148)) to your userpage.

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...

"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. .

Hi, I'm a rising 3L in New York, I stumbled upon your userpages doing a "what links here" from a case I'm creating. It looks really cool. Are you using your userpages to take notes?
My study group is using userpages to post casebook tables of contents -- see User:JD Caselaw. I'm trying to get my friends to put all their tables of contents up in this fashion, and I'm also starting a "Student written hornbook" club, which will create userpages dedicated to individual classes, with hyperlinks to the corresponding articles on wikipedia. Each userpage will be a hornbook. Thoughts? Agradmanappreciates civility/makes occasional mistakes 02:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
