Thanks for adding a reference

Thanks for including a reference in this edit. It's good to have a solid reason, so people don't have to argue about what the article should say. --Coppertwig (talk) 02:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Category:Converts from Islam to Christianity is included into the category:Former Muslims It is also include into the category:Converts to Christianity. Therfore "Converts from Islam to Christianity" replaces both of the remaining two, because "Convert from Islam" means "Former Muslim". Mukadderat (talk) 15:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you restored ethnic categories for which no verifiable evidence is apparent to an article on a living person. Per our policy on living people and our policy on verifiability I would ask you to stop doing this please. Such edits are not helpful and contravene our policies. If you continue you are likely to be blocked. Instead, please focus on adding content which is referenced to reliable, third-party sources. Thanks, --John (talk) 15:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Yemenite Jews

hi Joyson,

How are you ?

I have added the black jews category in Yemenite Jews. I just forgot to log in. I live in Israel. they are black. I've just tryed to correct something that was forgotten in English. see the Hebrew article Cushi Rimon (Shimon Rimon - origiinally)-->[1] (no English) - it says: "He claims his nickname was given to him, because he was a 'Little Yemenite among lots of Ashkenazim' " (or see the article i wrote of what cushi means in Hebrew (the 'cushi' article in Hebrew ---> [2] mentions Cushi rimon, I didnt mention him in the English article of cushi- cinse this man is only known to Israelis).

i'll put it this time under ShaloshSheva.

Have a nice day! --Shevashalosh (talk) 09:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Reply of your cooments from my talk page

note the opening statements of the Hebrew article of Ymenite Jew --> [3] -which specifically states that they should be seen as a seperate third Jewish community from AShkenazi and Mizrahi.

and:

and the image of Bo'az Ma'uda, does he look white to you?.

I live in Israel. I know the social conventions (the Hebrew article "cushi" mentions the "cushi Rimon" who was a Yemenite Jew - much earlier then the jewish immigration from Ethiopia - ever existed)

but what is most important is the Hebrew article about Yemenite Jews which states that they are not considered eather Ashkenzi nor Mizrahi (for obvious reasons to a hebrew reader) - but rather a third seperate group.

what do you think?

--Shevashalosh (talk) 13:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

reply to your second reply (isn't that fun :-)  ?)

Hi again, Joyson. thanX for your advice. I will take on your advice anf first find a relible source - and only after I will add the addtion category of "category:black jews".

I assume i need also to put the source that i will find in the link you gave me Wikipedia:Reliable sources ?

--Shevashalosh (talk) 14:00, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

another question

i have looked into the English article of Yemenite Jews#DNA testing and read the last paragraph where it talks about the study that "found a possible genetic similarity between 11 Ethiopian Jews and 4 Yemenite Jews who took part in the testing" and that "It is possible that the 4 Yemenite Jews from this study may be descendants of reverse migrants of African origin, who crossed Ethiopia to Yemen." -

and would like to use the reference #27 [4] - as a source - would that be good enough?

--Shevashalosh (talk) 15:12, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

here is a nother possible source which states the folowing: The second scroll will return to the tiny Yemenite community in Ethiopia, consisting of five families, after Simchat Torah.

[5] (from the Jewish Agency for Israel website)

??

--Shevashalosh (talk) 16:08, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

or this :

(its a hebrew article in wiki hebrew containg an english line: [6] Some historians believe that in this period Jews from either Elephantine or Yemen moved into present-day Ethiopia and gave root to the Beta Israel (their reference is this --> [7])

--Shevashalosh (talk) 16:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

refering back the reference question to you

Hi again, Joyson.

this tiny issue is taking a bit too long. I was just trying to assit wiki comapred to the Hebrew article of "Yemenite Jews".

he is the thing:

I found two relible sources:

1) NYTimes – (about the ethiopian jews) while anthropologists say they might have migrated from Egypt or Yemen. [8]

2) The Jewish Agency for Israel website: The second scroll will return to the tiny Yemenite community in Ethiopia, consisting of five families, after Simchat Torah [9]

• Both strengthening the connections of the Yemenite and Ethiopian Jewish communities - which according to historians and anthropologists, The Ethiopians Jews, with a good degree of Probability have descended from the Yemenite Jews who crossed to Ethiopia and started the Ethiopian community.

sorry for your time, I just can't find an answear with Sirmylesnagopaleentheda, and i don't wanna dig in to it too much, there plenty other articles and things to do.

I just need you to confirm me these sources - so we can move on.

hi

Kindly research more before adding statements like "Guru Hargobind and Guru Arjan proselytized so actively". Your source [10] cites a number of references but not for this statements. Also read Jahagir's autobiography, where he states that "a large number of ignorent hindus and muslims flocked to him". There is no mention of any proselytization. Infact jahagir mentions that "many a time it occured to me to bring him in assembly of Islam" also Jahangir suspected guru arjan of supporting his rebel son. Thanks

Here is what Jahagir wrote in his biography

"There lived at Goindwal on the bank of the river Biah (Beas) a Hindu named Arjun in the garb of a Pir and Shaikh, so much so that he had by his ways and means captivated the hearts of many simple-minded Hindus, nay, even of foolish and stupid Muslims and he had noised himself as a religious and wordly leader. They called him Guru, and from all directions, fools and fool-worshippers were attracted towards him and expressed full faith in him. For three or four-generations they had kept this shop warm. For a long time the thought had been presenting itself to me that either I should put an end to this false traffic or he should be brought into the fold of Islam.

At last during the days when Khusrau passed along this road, this "insignificant fellow" made up his mind to see him and conveyed preconceived things to him and made on his forehead a fingermark in saffron which in Hindu terminology is called qashqa (teeka) and is considered propitious. When this came to the ears of our Majesty, and I fully knew his heresies, I ordered that he should be brought into my presence and, having handed over his houses, dwelling place, and children to Murtza Khan (Shaikh Farid Bukhari) and having confiscated his property. I ordered that he should be put to death with tortures".

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Barboza.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Barboza.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Image source problem with Image:WBJ.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:WBJ.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FrankSindone.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FrankSindone.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I have expanded the rationale for you- using the template ensures that you don't miss any key information. J Milburn (talk) 18:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
