Ritual washing in Judaism

Thanks! Today wasn't my best day. After all that talk, I'll need to put off working on the article, maybe until the weekend. Thanks again. --Shirahadasha 00:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

East Jerusalem synagogues

Hello Jayjg. Since two or three small synagogues in the Jewish quarter were not destroyed, do you mind if I change it back, or will you revert again? nadav (talk) 02:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you absolutely sure about this? It is possible, for example, that they were used for other purposes, then restored to synagogues? Jayjg ^(talk) 02:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, well I know for a fact that the Ohr haChaim synagogue was still functioning up until the war. It was closed and then reopened in '67. This info is on the Israeli government websites [1] and [2]. The Ari synagogue I think was used only until the riots in '36. I have no info about the third Jewish quarter synagogue on the list. nadav (talk) 02:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

On antisemitism [4]. Might be of interest (the "What Are the Origins of Islamic Antisemitism?" section) . --Aminz 02:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

vexatious sockpuppet case

Someone neglected to inform you of Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Jayjg. I've closed it, but in case you hadn't seen it, I'm letting you know. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Zionism

What's your feeling on how we should proceed with the quote from Weizmann? BYT 19:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

...for helping undo Toussaint's mess :)--cj | talk 02:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Uggh. I should well be, but there's just no better distraction than Wikipedia.--cj | talk 02:43, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Gettysburg Address

I'm curious about this reversion. What was wrong? -- Fyslee/talk 21:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. -- Fyslee/talk 22:02, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Original research?

Please explain your recent excision of material on David Frum?

I didn't know you were 46th by number of edits, or that you had been an administrator for three years when I left this note. I only have 15,000 edits, have been contributing to the wikipedia for 2 2/3 years, and am not an administrator. But it has been my experience that when a wikipedian goes and reverts something, without really explaining themselves, edit warring often ensues.

Maybe you think there is something "obvious" that I am missing, and you have no obligation to explain? I started a little essay on User:Geo Swan/opinions/Nothing is really "obvious" -- a parable. Feel free to read it. It is not meant to be patronizing, although someone told me it felt that way. It is really a plea for my correspondents to explain themselves more fully, because what is "obvious" is really highly POV, and vulnerable to systemic bias.
