a cabal of POV-pushing Polish chauvinists

A very interesting opinion on users who disagree with your bias. Very helpful indeed. Tymek (talk) 02:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Judaism Newsletter

Worship of the Golden Calf
Worship of the Golden Calf

Now with 200% more Jewishness!
Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique.

A Special Dispatch
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
In the News

  • A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s].
  • There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views to weigh in.
  • Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved.

To Do

  • The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list)
  • [Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter.
  • WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

No Idea why you keep reverting "Romania in the Holocaust"

There is no original research, no unfounded statement, nothing biased, absolutely nothing wrong with my edits. You keep reverting it to a version which is not only degrading, but also incorrect. Romania is not responsible for more deaths than any nation other than Germany, firstly, because Hungary had over 100,000 more Jews killed, not to mention various Baltic states. Your version is factually incorrect and biased. Stop reverting my changes. Romano-Dacis (talk) 04:42, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not original research, and it is backed up by several, both Romanian and non-Romanian authors. It's a fact. Antonescu's diaries reflect his regret. There is nothing original about it. Meanwhile, the unfounded statistics of hundreds ouf thousands dead, without any sources cites, IS ORIGINAL RESEARCH.

Quit trying to rewrite history!! Second of all, there was a point where I did leave your writings up, but apperantly that still wasn't good enough. Stop presenting only one side of the story. The MOTIVE is just as essential as the ACT (which BTW, you have no sources for). Romano-Dacis (talk) 19:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

shabazz, How can I help??

what do you want to change?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I copied and pasted into a Word document the correct fractions from the article, but then I when I typed them in manual, my fingers must have used the new math. Thanks for catching this. Kman543210 (talk) 04:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd appreciate your comments about this issue. I believe I and Lysy have proposed a reasonable compromise, based on the sources available. If you could endorse it, it would do much in improving the situation. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:34, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See: Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-08-02_History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland#Edit_Agreement and Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2008-08-02_History_of_the_Jews_in_Poland#Gazeta_Polska_characterization. You can also search for instances of Gazeta on the page (after extending the discussion). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure what wording would be better than pro-government (I did suggest a "key pro-government" qualifier). And yes, the newspaper's article IS the best place to go into the details. Officially it was just an average newspaper, unofficially it was the voice of the ruling faction. It was - as far as I can tell - not as official organ as for example Pravda was. In any case, I'd appreciate your help in convincing Boody to accept this wording. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
