Thank you

Thank you very much for the award, IZAK. It means a great deal and I will truly treasure it. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 09:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

• Dear SlimVirgin: What a job you undertook, you deserve the award 100% IZAK 09:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, IZAK, I hope it's OK that I'm adding this thank-you to someone else's thank-you section. I just wanted to say, er, thank you, for adding a welcome message to my talk page. As a newbie, that was a pleasant surprise. It was also helpful to get that added insight to some of the behind-the-scenes effort. --Rich Janis 13:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Jewish_religious_censoring_by_user regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Debresser (talk • contribs) [1] [2]

• NOTE: The case at ANI, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive637#Elazar Shach talk page was closed with the result that the thread name "Smurf Shach" was changed and removed. IZAK (talk) 03:48, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

ANI Closure

IZAK, please don't post any new edits to the ANI in a closed topic. You might have wanted to get in the last word, but it's closed, and we need to respect that. Ishdarian|lol^wut 09:07, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

• Hi Ishdarian: I only made a couple of tiny typo corrections and did not add any new comments. I assure you I have no interest in having the last word. It has also been hard to be up to date with the on-again, off-again, on-again openings and closings of the last few days, but I appreciate your efforts to let me know. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 09:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Mea culpa! I was brushing through it and I guess I read it wrong. Sorry! Ishdarian|lol^wut 11:36, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

IZAK, I just some of your edits today, particularly this one. That thread was archived and I already spoke to you almost a week ago about not getting the last word. Consider this a warning. Now, please, put down the stick and let the horse be. Ishdarian|lol^wut 12:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Ishidarian: You requested that no more edits be placed were regarding the ANI discussion, and I have not added anything per your request. You mentioned nothing about the article's talk page, and the only thing that I did there was to add a link to the place where the discussions are archived because otherwise the previous reference to them on the article's talk page links to nowhere, where all I added was this: "NOTE: The case at ANI, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive637#Elazar Shach talk page was closed with the result that the thread name "Smurf Shach" was changed and removed". There is nothing wrong with creating a link at the article's talk page to where the discussions ended off at ANI. Unfortunately, there is still ongoing disruption, and certainly threats of disruption and editing warring, at the article's talk page, that both preceded and followed the ANI discussion and it would be very helpful if you could look into that to keep the pot from boiling over yet again. Thanks again for your head's up. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 04:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I understand, but it does come off as a violation of WP:STICK. It's over and done, and the issue has been settled. Please don't touch it anymore. If someone starts harassing you about it, leave me a note on my talk page or contact an admin. We don't need this issue getting inflamed again. I know it's tough, but you can be the bigger man; just walk away. Ishdarian|lol^wut 04:27, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you Ishdarian, and I have not been involved with the old ANI debate. But I am within all rights to simply place a NPOV link to where the ANI discussion took place so that editors on the article's talk page can find it, since the old link was de-linked once the discussion was archived at ANI, and old topics on ANI archives are almost impossible to locate since there are hundreds of pages of ANI archives on each ANI section. And editors of the article should be aware of where they can locate the discussions that touched on key aspects on how this article has been handled, so I have just put in a separate sub-header on the article's talk page a purely NPOV link to the related ANI discussion, which I hope you will approve of. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 04:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

שלום אליכם, גמר טוב!

Weapon is not retired, he is back under a new name, and the closures occurred prior to the account's being compromised. -- Avi (talk) 07:30, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

• Hi Avi: How can anyone be sure when this all happened in the same month he was compromised and his account was blocked? Thanks, IZAK (talk) 08:47, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
• What is his new user name so that he can be contacted about his changes and the comments he made. IZAK (talk) 08:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
  • I am one of the checkusers who handled that disaster; the account was locked the day of the compromise, this happened earlier. He is now known as User:ResidentAnthropologist. -- Avi (talk) 16:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
    • Ok, thanks for that information. It does look like it was huge mess. Best wishes, IZAK (talk) 13:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Great Synagogue of Rome.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Great Synagogue of Rome.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

• Hi, I was not the creator or the poster of this image. Perhaps I may have categorized it at one time when I came across it on WP. IZAK (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
