== Nomination of [[Passaic-Clifton Orthodox Jewish Community]] for deletion ==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|42px|alt=|link=]]</div>The article '''[[Passaic-Clifton Orthodox Jewish Community]]''' is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Passaic-Clifton Orthodox Jewish Community]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.  However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Mesivta Zichron Baruch]] ==

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Mesivta Zichron Baruch]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''It has ZERO [[WP:RS]] and it has been seeking them for about an year now.  Very small "school", not notable same category as [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mesoras_Mordechai|Mesoras Mordechail]]'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Mesivta Zichron Baruch|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> <span style="color:red"> '''The Terminator'''</span>  <span style="color:green"> '''[[User:CapMan07008|''p'']]</span>  <span style="color:green"> [[User_talk:CapMan07008|''t'']]</span>  <span style="color:green">[[Special:Contributions/CapMan07008|''c'']]</span>''' 22:24, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

== Your contributed article, [[:Haredim and modern technology]] ==

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, '''[[:Haredim and modern technology]]'''. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – '''[[:Haredim#Practices_and_beliefs]]'''. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for [[WP:A10|speedy deletion]]. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:Haredim#Practices_and_beliefs]] – you might like to discuss new information at [[Talk:Haredim#Practices_and_beliefs|the article's talk page]]. 

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:Haredim and modern technology|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the [[WP:AFC|article creation process]] and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.<!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="background:#00FA9A">[[User:Shashwat986|Shashwat986]]</span> &rarr; <b>[[User talk:Shashwat986|talk]]</b> 21:53, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

== Notice of Palestine-Israel enforcement restriction ==

As a result of [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles|an arbitration case]], the [[WP:AC|Arbitration Committee]] has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Area of conflict|Palestinian-Israeli conflict]], broadly understood.  As a result, the Committee has enacted broad [[Wikipedia:General sanctions|editing restrictions]], described [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles#Discretionary sanctions|here]] and below.  

*Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. 
*The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
*Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
*Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently [[WP:AE]]), or the Committee. 

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case.  This message is to so inform you.  This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted).  Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged [[Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Palestine-Israel_articles#Log_of_notifications|here]].--[[User:Bbb23|Bbb23]] ([[User talk:Bbb23|talk]]) 19:25, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

== [[Portal:Judaism]] ==

I recommend you to take a look at other [[WP:FPO|featured portals]] and implement the random rotation component. In the past, we have found that the maintainer "abandoned" updating the portal as soon as it's promoted to featured status. Having rotating component means that the portal can be maintained much less frequently yet presenting different types of information each time a visitor sees the portal page. [[User:OhanaUnited|<b style="color:#0000FF;">OhanaUnited</b>]][[User talk:OhanaUnited|<b style="color:green;"><sup>Talk page</sup></b>]] 03:15, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
: Not for the featured picture. And DYK selection is very limited. You should have a link to present visitors to view other selections available in rotation. Another question, how often do you plan on updating the "Weekly Torah Portion" section? I assume it's weekly, but how will you ensure that it will be updated weekly?

I notice that you've added the deaths of a number of notable historical figures in places like [[Portal:Judaism/Today in Jewish History/19 Kislev]].  Unfortunately, you've frequently used the formulation "...X passed away".  This is specifically contraindicated by the guidelines at [[WP:EUPHEMISM]]: "The word ''died'' is neutral and accurate; avoid [[Euphemism|euphemisms]] such as ''passed away''".  (Italics and Wikilink in original.)  Could I encourage you to use "...X died" on future such additions?  Thanks.

== Edits to Jewish holidays and Yom Kippur ==

Hi.  Just to let you know:  I think {{User|Debresser}} was correct to undo your edits on [[Jewish holidays]].  The "Jewish holidays or Jewish festivals" to "Jewish holidays or festivals" is stylistic, and I wouldn't have bothered on that one.  But on the other two:
*The picture shows Jewish time moving toward a destination (''y'mot hamashiach,'' if you will).  That approach is known as "linear" time.  It contrasts with "cyclical" time in certain religious traditions, which essentially means that there is no ultimate [[eschatology|eschatological]] goal within the religious tradition, only a never-ending continuation of the current cycles.  "Linear" doesn't mean than the line is actually always straight, only that it has a destination.  So the caption on the picture, showing that in Judaism, time is ''linear'' and not ''cyclical,'' is correct.
*I know how you feel about the concept of the the ''kedushah'' of Shabbat vs. Yom Kippur (or other ''yamim tovim''); I think we've discussed it before.  
**First of all, it's not unambiguously true, even within Orthodox/Torah tradition.  Remember, for example, that there is a concept of Yom Kippur as being the one day in the year where Israel's holiness rises to the level of the angels'; remember also that Yom Kippur ''in and of itself'' has the power to atone for sins, which is not something Shabbat can do.  
**Second, for most people, the idea that a weekly day of rest could possibly be holier than a one-day-a-year event is just difficult, and I would venture that almost no Jew outside of Orthodoxy (or perhaps the most traditional wing of Conservatism) sees it that way at all.  Since the purpose of the article is to inform, not to create controversy, I wouldn't pick the fight here.
So here's what's happening:
#User Debresser reversed your edits in [[Jewish holidays]], and I'd recommend you let those stay reversed.  The concept of Shabbat as holiest ''is'' addressed in the [[Jewish holidays#Shabbat—The Sabbath|Shabbat section of the article]].
#I reversed your edit in [[Yom Kippur]].  I moved the concept to a footnote, which in turn points to the section of the Shabbat article about [[Shabbat#Status as a holy day|Shabbat's status as a holy day]], which is the right venue for that concept.
#If you really want me to, I'll add the footnote from the Yom Kippur article to the Yom Kippur section of the Jewish holidays article, too.  I'd prefer not, though.  I think that's too much detail for the survey Jewish holiday article, especially since the topic was aired in the Shabbat section.
Remember that not everyone reading these articles knows all the Torah you do, that some of these ''halachic'' topics are complex, and that not every article is the right venue for a discussion of complex ''halachic'' topics.  (I must note:  I'm studiously trying to avoid bringing complex issues into the [[Jewish holidays]] article because it is a <u>survey</u> article, intended to give a very high-level overview.  It is not itself intended to cover these holidays in great detail, but to point people to articles with more detail.)

Hi there; you're receiving this message because you have previously [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send|shown interest]] in the WikiCup. This is just to remind you that the [[WP:CUP|2013 WikiCup]] will be starting on 1 January, and that [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2013 signups|signups will remain open]] throughout January. Old and new Wikipedians and WikiCup participants are warmly invited to take part in this year's competition. (Though, as a note to the more experienced participants, there have been [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#What.27s_changed_from_last_year.3F|a few small rules changes]] in the last few months.) If you have already signed up, let this be a reminder; you will receive a message with your submissions' page soon. Please direct any questions to the [[WT:CUP|WikiCup talk page]]. Thanks!

== Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! ==

Hello Ypnypn, and welcome to the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup|2013 WikiCup]]! Your submissions' page is '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2013/Submissions/Ypnypn|here]]'''. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:
*The rules can be found [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring|here]]. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
*Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We ''will be checking''.
*If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
*Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
*Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked. Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on [[WT:WikiCup|the WikiCup talk page]]. Good luck!

Please, I ask 5 minutes of your precious time, if you can read this page I just made. Please, my English is very poor... :-)

Thanks a lot for you help.

== WikiCup 2013 January newsletter ==

[[File:Trophy.png|right]]
Signups are now ''closed''; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}} currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ({{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Grapple X}}) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a [[Talk:Arkansas/GA1|detailed good article review]]. Some other firsts:
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}} was also the first to score for an article, with the good article [[Hurricane Gordon (2000)]]. Again, this is a repeat of last year!
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Buggie111}} was the first to score for a did you know, with [[Marquis Flowers]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Spencer}} was the first to score for an in the news, with [[2013 Houphouët-Boigny stampede]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Status}} was the first to score for a featured list, with [[list of Billboard Social 50 number-one artists|list of ''Billboard'' Social 50 number-one artists]].
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Adam Cuerden}} was the first to score for a featured picture, with [[:File:Thure de Thulstrup - L. Prang and Co. - Battle of Gettysburg - Restoration by Adam Cuerden.jpg]].

Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition.

This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring]]. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:

*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ed!}} was the first to score bonus points, with [[Portland-class cruiser|''Portland''-class cruiser]], a good article.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}} has the highest overall bonus points, as well as the highest scoring article, thanks to his work on [[Enrico Fermi]], now a good article. The biography of such a significant figure to the history of science warrants nearly five times the normal score.
*{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|HueSatLum}} claimed bonus points for [[René Vautier]] and [[Nicolas de Fer]], articles that did not exist on the English Wikipedia at the start of the year; a first for the WikiCup. The articles were eligible for bonus points because of fact they were both covered on a number of ''other'' Wikipedias.

Also, a quick mention of {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|The C of E}}, who may well have already written the [[WP:ODD|oddest]] article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to [[Fucking Hell]] on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it?

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews]]. Questions are welcome on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiCup]], and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! <small>If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send]].</small> [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]] • [[Special:Emailuser/J Milburn|email]]) and [[User:The ed17|The ed17]] ([[User talk:The ed17|talk]] • [[Special:Emailuser/The ed17|email]]) 00:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
