11 years on Wikipedia!

During December 2013, I celebrated the completion of eleven years on Wikipedia. Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire Wikipedia team and family and my many fellow editors for giving me the opportunity to use my time productively by allowing me to contribute from my education, knowledge, experience and skills to this amazing project over eleven very productive years. Thank you so much to everyone concerned and a special thank you to the many readers who utilize this encyclopedia. Feel free to leave a message at: User:IZAK/awards#And many more.

Note: If you post a message on this page, I will usually respond to it on this page.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Collegiate discourse

I'm not writing this a warning, just a hopefully friendly note at this point. Strong, policy-supported and reference-supported debate is of course welcome at CfD, like any discussion page.

As you've been around for awhile, I'll merely leave it to you to consider whether such comments as were on that page (not merely that discussion) were appropriate collegiate discourse.

As such, no need for a response.

I wish you well. - jc37 00:02, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Jc37 and thank you for contacting me. Sound Logic and a thorough knowledge of Jewish history, as well as reliance on well-established WP:EXPERTISE is as important as citing WP policies in difficult topics, which I very frequently do cite, if you would review the many CFD and AFD discussions I have been involved with over many years. As you may know, not all usage of WP policies in AFDs and CFDs is okay because of the problem of WP:LAWYERING. So it is always a judgment call how to proceed in complex discussions. Thanks again and please feel free to share your personal POVs with me at any time, IZAK (talk) 05:44, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question about arbitration

Hi, I wonder if you could advise me on which noticeboard to post a complaint and potentially block a user who persists in deleting sourced content and in edit warring, and who has a clear conflict of interest in editing a certain page? I am prepared to provide diffs, but I am unclear as to which dispute resolution process I should turn to. Thank you for your advice, Yoninah (talk) 22:45, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah It depends a lot on the nature of the misdemeanour. The most egregious open-and-shut cases can go through WP:ANI (the administrators' noticeboard, where particular incidents often attract a swift response). If the behaviour is more insidious and subtle, WP:RFC/U may be required. Arbitration is the very last resort, and cases will be rejected from WP:RFAr if no attempt has been made to resolve them through other channels. JFW | T@lk 06:15, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To a first approximation, it doesn't matter where you ask for assistance. But you need to say what the specific problem is to get a meaningful response. But I see just now that you have done it very reasonably at AN/I with respect to the editing of Street Artists Program of San Francisco and gotten a very satisfactory response. DGG ( talk ) 01:45, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reform vs. Progressive Judaism

Hello, IZAK, sorry for bothering you. I'm trying to sort the mess in regards to the various denominations (and you have no idea how much confusion and edit warring it caused in wiki.he). My main concern is the Reform/Progressive articles. As I see it, "Progressive Judaism" is merely an umbrella term for those affiliated with the World Union for Progressive Judaism, both Reconstructionist and Reform, which are two different things. Reform Judaism - AKA progressive, liberal etc. in various countries, with all sorts of minor differences between them - is all which sprung from the teachings of Abraham Geiger, Samuel Holdheim and so on, or conforms to it. Therefore, I believe that "Progressive Judaism" should either be a redirect to Reform (or vice versa, doesn't matter as long as it's one article) or to the WUPJ, while "Reform Judaism" should start with something like "RJ, also known as liberal, progressive etc.", with sub-sections with all the little local denominations now on the Progressive Judaism article (except Reco., of course). That is what we have on wiki.he, more or less. Would you like to comment? (I know I should have posted it on WP:Judaism, but it's quite dormant and I've seen you have been involved in this. Sorry for dropping all this on you). מהמברטה (talk) 20:00, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yeah, I just thought on a more concise way of communicating myself:) There should be no "Progressive Judaism" article, merely one about the WUPJ with all its affiliates, while all those corresponding with U.S. Reform Judaism (U.K. Liberal but not U.K. Reform, which is conservative) should be on "Reform Judaism".מהמברטה (talk) 20:06, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi מהמברטה and thanks for contacting me. You are not bothering me it is a pleasure to help you. By the way, it is always good to also post a message at WP:TALKJUDAISM and ask for any input over there. I am not surprised you are having this problem, we had it a long time ago as well on the English WP. But from what I can recall, Progressive Judaism is different to Reform Judaism even though they have common theologies and roots and you cannot "impose" your theories about their common origins to "make" them the same, because there is a huge difference of GEOGRAPHY involved: while in the United Kingdom (Britain, England) the movement is called Progressive Judaism and it has a different meaning over there, however in the United States (America) and Canada, it is called Reform Judaism. It is as simple as that and that is why on the English WP both of them remain as both of them are valid even though there is some duplication involved, but so what, there are so many streams of Orthodox Judaism it is accepted and no one tries to squish them all into "one denomination" because that would be absurd for many reasons. Please be in touch and best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom, IZAK (talk) 04:59, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request

My friend, who is a Wikipedia user, needs someone's help.

They and their edits have been personally attacked in talk discussions with inappropriate comments. When they brought it to the attention of administrators, they started to personally attack my friend rather than focus on the facts of the complaint.

They saw your name as a user in a Wikipedia administrator discussion and would very much like to get in contact with you since you have had long-time, valuable user experience with Wikipedia.

They need someone like yourself to provide some constructive assistance or feedback, and address the real Emet based on the facts. Chazak, Chazak, Vuh Nitchazek.

You can reach my friend at jrkrasner at gmail. It is best to use that contact since I have limited access to a computer. Wishing27 (talk) 18:38, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Wishing27 and thank you for contacting me. It would have been much better if you could describe to me right here on this talk page what problem you are having and then we could all see what is happening. I will not contact your friend off-Wiki at this time until you can clarify what is wrong. The best place to complain or perhaps even ask for help is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents (known as "AN/I"), if the admin/s there have rejected your request there is not much I can do as I am not an admin. For example, can you give the link to where the problem was addressed on the AN/I noticeboard? Thanks. Anyone is free to contact me via the Wikipedia Email feature, but I will not necessarily respond there either. The best thing is to start the conversation going right here and then we can take it from there. Best wishes, IZAK (talk) 03:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best to address this with my friend at the contact information that I provided you.

I cannot address it here since I do not know all of the details-

Original ANI request- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=606024240#Repeated_personal_attacks_and_reverting_of_edits_without_addressing_in_Talk_to_gain_consensus

  • Hi again Wishing27. I am not familiar with the situations you are linking to. I am not an admin. It's best to contact an admin for advice because admins do carry much responsibility and they have their own experience with procedures for dealing with such matters. I would suggest that you contact admins such Users DGG (talk · contribs); Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) and SlimVirgin (talk · contribs) since they are knowledgeable and will give sound guidance. I cannot get involved. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 04:51, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incense

Izak, could you look at Incense offering and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Holy Incense, eqch seems to have some unique material, but I think the AfC draft is a little clearer. Should they be combined? If so, the cleanest way is to move the draft into mainspace under its existing title, and hen mark them for merging. DGG ( talk ) 00:32, 25 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Potočnik

Hello IZAK, I saw your question at ANI. I will try to help, however, all I know is that Potočnik is a Slovenian surname. I googled a bit trying to see if in some South-Slavic language perhaps means something, but I didn´t found anything. It is possible that the root of the surname may be Potok which would be a small river, so Potočnik could be a person from the small river, but it is just a free interpretation of mine. I immediatelly remembered Herman Potočnik... In what context is found the Potočnik you are searching the meaning for? FkpCascais (talk) 13:59, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  1. ^ Krohn, Rabbi Paysach J. (2007). Traveling With the Maggid: A journey to great Torah centers of yesteryear. Mesorah Publications Ltd. pp. 37–40. ISBN 978-1-4226-0229-4.
  2. ^ Singer, Evelyne. "The Lost Jewish World: A visit to contemporary Lithuania". Hamodia Magazine, 22 November 2012, pp. 10–14.

I was therefore wondering if there is any connection or similarity from the Polish surname Potocki. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 22:22, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. All these words originate from the Slavic word "potok", meaning "stream" or "brook". "Potocnik" means simply "of the brook". Not only in Slovenian, but in Serbo-Croatian, Slovakian, Polish, and a whole bunch of other Slavic languages. There are surnames all over that originate from the term (including Serbia, Fkp), but the word need not refer to a surname at all. -- Director (talk) 09:35, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh IZAK, I only now noteced that Producer changed his name to Potocnik, I wasn´t aware of it at time I answered you here. Regards, FkpCascais (talk) 01:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A League Of Sensible Editors

I'm quite discouraged by the entire Jews and Communism episode, but I've been wondering whether an informal federation of several sane and sensible editors with an off-wiki presence might be useful for addressing eyesores -- especially those defended by one or two zealots. In fact, I'm surprised on doesn't exist. Or perhaps it does, and you know the secret handshake? MarkBernstein (talk) 23:06, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me you're joking! We just busted up one gang, and now you want to create another one? I'm all for collaborating, but it needs to be transparent. Maybe there's a portal we can join where we can post announcements whenever there's a problem?

I was going to try you next. uSchick. I still wonder don't see how gangs can be stopped without a counterweight. But I'm about to declare it a bad business and lost cause anyway.MarkBernstein (talk) 00:52, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for not getting mad at my outburst! :) Please don't be discouraged. You became involved just recently, Izak and I have been chipping away at this monster for a long time. We were ready to declare it a lost cause ourselves, but then you showed up and literally created a tipping point that sent the whole thing over the edge. As far as moving ahead, sunshine is the best disinfectant. There's no need to create a new undercover terrorist unit, all the tools we need are already out here in the open. Let's use them. USchick (talk) 01:00, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to point out that once the tag team was exposed, it became less of a problem immediately. The fact that the gang leader faded away into oblivion on his own, tells me a whole lot. He didn't fade away out of strength. When you run across something like that, once you start shaking it, it falls apart pretty quickly under its own weight. It may take a while, but keep shaking it and it will fall apart, because there's nothing there holding it together. My 2 cents. USchick (talk) 01:06, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I sort of agree with USchick. It’s really not fair that this should be our problem. There’s nothing more pathetic than getting mad about something on the internet, and on principle I try to stay away from sites that infuriate me. Unfortunately, right now Wikipedia is one of those sites.

The fact is there’s a subculture of people whose hobby is internet Antisemitism, and they crop up everywhere. Huffington Post, music message boards… anywhere on the net with idealistic (and, ironically, leftist) principles of tolerance and inclusion. I’m in favor of inconveniencing the Wikipedia powers that be (to the extent that such a thing exists—I really don’t know) with a WP:ARBCOM on how to deal with this because they owe it to everyone who doesn’t come here for the POV war of all against all.

I don’t want to be a Wikivigilante, but I sympathize with MarkBernstein because rule of law isn’t really isn’t working right now. I mean yeah, the article was deleted, but it’s not reasonable to expect people who IRL are sane and productive and would like to stay that way to keep coming back for three months of that. Fighting internet Antisemitism is not going to become my hobby.--Atlantictire (talk) 15:00, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For people who think that ArbCom is a good idea, please read User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 163#Standard of conduct for arbitrators. You don't have to read the whole thing, it basically says, "Given the above discussion, and many similar discussions, it seems fair to conclude that there is some dissatisfaction with the overall current governance of en:Wikipedia." That's what involved arbitrators and administrators say about themselves. Don't forget that Wikipedia is a social experiment where There are no rules and There are no cops. I wish we had someone out there looking out for us, but we don't.
I never said that this is not my prolbem and I never said there's nothing to be done, I only said that whatever we do needs to be out in the open and not a covert operation. Look what I found: [6] Non discrimination policy. If we knew this existed, we could have used it early on. I suggest we all sign up at WikiProject Discrimination as Participants and in the Resources section we can list any useful policies and tools available for making a reasonable argument. It turns out, the reason Mark was successful in deleting the article is because of the way he framed the nomination. Well, who would know that? On Wikipedia, as in real life, there are lots of things you have to know if you want to accomplish anything. I believe being part of a group like WikiProject Discrimination will link us all to each other and to other people who can be called on to comment on a questionable situation. That doesn't mean we will all agree, and it doesn't mean people there will automatically agree either, but it's a resource we could have used if we knew about it. What do you think about this idea? I'm moving this discussion where everyone can comment to Proposal. Please comment there. We should probably get off Izak's talk page. He probably will want it back. :) USchick (talk) 17:50, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MarkBernstein, USchick, Atlantictire: Hi everyone and thank you for your comments. I have been away for a few days on private business, so I have not had the time to see your important discussion here. This reminds me of that old story about two disputants who came to a rabbi to ask his opinion and for a ruling. He asked to see them one at a time. He heard the first one out and told him "you are right"! Then he heard the second one out and told him "you are right"! After they left, the rabbi's wife comes out and asks him how he could say to both of the disputing parties "you are right"? At which point the rabbi looks at his wife and says "you are also right"! And that is the moral of the story. You all have important things to say. But let me tell you what my true opinion is based on over eleven years on Wikipedia, and it is also based on a story about a rabbi. One day a disciple comes running over to the rabbi and asks him "how do I become a serious student"? At which point the rabbi gives him a sharp glance and says "young man, sit down and study"! The point being that discussions and talks about doing this and that produce nothing. The only thing that makes one into a true scholar is study! Same thing with Wikipedia, it is not a "perfect" vehicle, I can attest to that because, just as one example, it is does not even have an iota of what the Talmud and its commentaries contain in term of information and wisdom. There is a work called the Talmudic Encyclopedia that expert scholars have been working on for decades and it is still not finished and WP doesn't even have a fraction of that information up yet. So we have light years to go to being perfect. BUT, on the other hand, the only way to get there is to edit in good faith to the best of one's abilities. And of course every now and again there will be editing and content disputes and clashes of world views, even a clash between "good" and "evil" but at the end of the day the "winners" on WP will be those with the greatest commitment, knowledge of their chosen fields, editorial skills, and familiarity with WP policies, who are civil under pressure, with time and patience to devote, and not much else that will win the day and win the race. I oppose hasty "solutions" that will achieve nothing in the end. Time spent on "protests" would be better used in creating, improving and editing articles. Talk and discussions and appeals to ANI, admins and ArbCom is ultimately a waste because it takes away valuable time from writing and editing. These are just some thoughts. The Jewish Sabbath approaches, Shabbat Shalom to all and keep on going strong! Best wishes and much appreciated, IZAK (talk) 22:48, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well said IZAK. I think this page needs some work.--Atlantictire (talk) 00:49, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
