Cincinnati
Barek,
It WAS NOT cut and paste. I have a B.A. from the University of Chicago and taught English for over fifteen years. Just because the syntax and morphology are sophisticated and correct DOES NOT MEAN it was a "cut and paste." Shame on you! The reference provided -- mostly the book The Jews of Cincinnati, is at my home and I am at work -- meaning I did not have it with me to verify page numbers, etc. You may also check the Cincinnati Enquirer archives for further citations to my knowledge. 199.30.71.30 (talk) 18:16, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Lori S.

So here are some simple references from the Cincinnati Enquirer (dates, links, and page numbers are given). http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/enquirer/doc/237258960.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Jan+6%2C+2000&author=Pina%2C+Phillip&pub=Cincinnati+Enquirer&edition=&startpage=&desc=Hebrew+Union%27s+leader+leaving Hebrew Union's leader leaving Cincinnati Enquirer - Cincinnati, Ohio Subjects: Museums; Appointments & personnel changes; Holocaust; Underground Railroad Author: Pina, Phillip Date: Jan 6, 2000 Start Page: B.1 Section: MET Abstract (Document Summary) Rabbi Albert A.

- Actually, the formatting was malformed, which made it appear to be copied from another source. I now see that malformed material was an incorrect attempt to add a reference, which resulted in the odd appearance of the inserted material. If I have time, I'll try parsing the wall of text (collapsed above) to rewrite the attempted addition into something more encyclopedic rather than narrative. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 18:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
After reviewing, it appears that much of what you are wanting to add already exists in the article with more encyclopedic and neutral wording:
- "Arts and culture" section, second paragraph: "Cincinnati's Jewish community was developed by immigrants from England and Germany. They developed Reform Judaism in response to the influences of the Enlightenment and making their new lives in the United States."
- "Education" section, fourth paragraph: "The Jewish community has several schools, including the all-girl RITSS (Regional Institute for Torah and Secular Studies) high school,[1] and the all-boy Yeshivas Lubavitch High School.[2] Hebrew Union College- Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR), founded by Isaac Mayer Wise, is a seminary for training of Reform rabbis and others religious.[3]"

Your refs may be useful to improve the verifiability of these statements, please review. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:58, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
FYI, neither of the reasons you cited for speedy deletion technically applied to this article. G4 requires a previous deletion discussion, which this hadn't had, and G12 doesn't apply because the site identified by CorenSearchBot is a wikipedia mirror. That said, I do definitely agree that the article should have been speedily deleted (probably under G10 as an attack page) as it was full of BLP violations which needed to go, I just worry about the log entry giving future editors the wrong idea. Anyways, cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I highlighted the G4 reason and hit delete (I thought) before deleting, not sure why it still showed. My mistake on the mirror - I had thought that the mirror was an static copy of the original version of the page prior to the original deletion (so would lack accrediting of edits under CC BY-SA 3.0), I see now it's a live mirror so you're right that should not have applied either. You're right that G10 would have been a better reason to use, given the BLP issues. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:28, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, even static mirrors of deleted pages shouldn't lead to a G12, since their history can be restored here fixing any issues with attribution. As I said above it definitely should have been deleted, the log entry just caught my notice, that was all. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
WPGC/WVEE edit dispute
I am not even getting into these childish edit wars for what reason but their is a current dispute about WPGC/WVEE and the air personalities section but KMEL has the same issue and that page still has the air personality directory listed. Just a point I know that you can not do anything but its just the interesting flaw on this site IMO that one can violate and another does the same thing and nothing is said about it.

KMEL
I see that the KMEL page has been left alone for now and I had edited it. Sorry for the first message. Donta1974 (talk) 20:36, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
Help with MetLife?
Hi Barek, I noticed your edit to the MetLife article back in April, and I'm hoping you might be interested in helping me with some proposed edits to the page. (Sadly, though the page needs some attention, there has been very little activity recently.) To bring the History section up to date and fill in some missing details, I've prepared some draft language with sourcing here, and I'm looking for editors to review.
As I am working as a consultant for MetLife, I won't be making any edits to the article myself due to that conflict of interest. If you have a second, could you check out my proposed edits and see if they look appropriate? Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 18:05, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
