Welcome!

Disagree with block and warning

Hi mate,

What was changed on Chrissie Chau page was not offensive and is being discussed by the media in Hong Kong! Magazines have been reporting on these issues and even Kama Lo who is Chrissie's good friends has stated to the media in Hong Kong that Chrissie has had plastic surgery (the bottom of this site verifies it http://hktopten.blogspot.com/2009/07/20090721-maggie-siu-pairs-up-with.html). It is a shame u guys cannot read cantonese, but what i have editied is the definitely being discussed in HK right now by the media! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.81.251.249 (talk) 07:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Alansohn (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

why are you reverting changes?

Dude I am an actual students that attends Turner Fenton whereas you Don't. So obvoisuly i have a much more up to date info than you so therefore you causing vandalism by removing information that is accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.91.84 (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia needs reliable sources. Alansohn (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

being accused of vanalism is a serious charge especially when my statements are true

i may be unfamiliar with your exact process of posting as i stated but vandal i am not. the things i spoke about couldn't be denied under oath. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sing51074 (talk • contribs)

Your edit summary...

...leaves a bit to be desired. Can you make it more explicit? (AWB doesn't seem to properly paste the replacement in the edit summary for you) –xeno^talk 21:45, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

It does look like nothing is changing, but what is happening is that there is a piped link in the edit summary that makes it look unchanged. I will see what I can do to have a more descriptive summary included in such cases. Alansohn (talk) 21:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I see the change. Normally AWB would give an indication on what is being replaced, for some reason, it's not doing it here. Uncheck "Add replacements to edit summary" And type it explicitly (if you have many more to do). –xeno^talk 21:51, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

I will test alternate summaries for greater clarity. Alansohn (talk) 13:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

DYK question

Hey Alan, it's Hunter Kahn, you gave me the 25 DYK medal some time ago and encouraged me to keep working on those (which I appreciate by the way!). I had a question that I figured you probably knew the answer to. If I'm not mistaken, there's a site on Wikipedia that keeps track of all the recently created new WIkipedia articles that are of a certain size that it may or may not warrant a DYK. Do you know of such a page and can you refer me to it? Thanks! — Hunter Kahn _(c) 16:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Atlantic County Freeholders template

Due to the dicussion on the templates, I was taking a look at the others and noticed that Template:NJ Atlantic County Freeholders is wrong. Atlantic has a mix of 4 At-large and 5 District Freeholders on their Board [6] and might also need different handling in the same way you suggest Hudson County towns be handled. I am not sure how the formatting should be done to reflect the actual make-up of the Board. For the sake of consistency, maybe you could make changes to the template so it reflects what is written at Atlantic_County,_New_Jersey#Government_and_politics. Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me} 16:55, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The AC template has been updated. It's not perfect, but it does reflect the districts and the latest memebers and term end dates. I will address further at the discussion at WPNJ. Alansohn (talk) 20:59, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Cass City Public Schools

The article on the Cass City Public Schools seems to include several schools that are not part of the district and a bunch of schools that I can't find anywhere. The article for Novesta-Grant Elementary describes a school for which I can find no evidence that it even exists. The Catholic schools in the community are not listed on the school district's website, and in the U.S. would not be part of the school district. The total numbers for the school don't match the stats from NCES. Can you take a look at this and reply on my talk page? Alansohn (talk) 02:40, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your vigilance on this matter. Looking back through the page history I see that another editor has also expressed concerns over the factual accuracy and created a cleaner version to which I have reverted. The articles on Cass City Northern Jr. High, Elkland Elementary, Novesta-Grant Elementary are all suspect. Unless an explanation is forthcoming quickly from the creator I will delete all three as hoaxes. TerriersFan (talk) 03:26, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree on the suspicions regarding these three articles in question and on the revert for the district article. This editor has not responded to requests for information and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something. Alansohn (talk) 03:29, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Please take care with disambiguation

Hi, please take care with your disambiguations for "Pahlavi". All the ones I happened to see [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] were incorrect. The last one is even "disambiguated" to an article that doesn't exist. -- Fullstop (talk) 18:57, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I have tried to be as careful as I can based on my understanding of the subject. I will be more careful and will review the entries I have already changed. Alansohn (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I've fixed those. Those are only three uses of the term that you are likely to run across: If the context is an inscription, the term is referring to Pahlavi script. If the context is language, its speaking of a special kind of Middle Persian (specifically, Zoroastrian Middle Persian). If the context is a monarch/monarchy, its Pahlavi dynasty. -- Fullstop (talk) 19:41, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections to clean up my mess. I am gaining further understanding from my reading and your input. Alansohn (talk) 19:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the trouble to unravel that mess. Give me a nudge if you need help. -- Fullstop (talk) 19:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Another thing: if you run across something that looks a strange-looking jumble of consonants (a non-alphabetical transcription) – like 'šmšyl' – its a transcription of Pahlavi script. Those won't occur often though. -- Fullstop (talk) 22:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again for your guidance. Alansohn (talk) 22:03, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Happens all the time that I make a stupid mistake, as we all do. I left a comment AND pasted in the heading. I thank you for your efforts to find a middle ground for Historicist. Once you get caught up in wikipolitics and you've pissed off an admin or two, often for violations you don't really understand in the beginning, those allegations will be used ad infinitum. My own experience is enough to prove the point and I wish I had known what Historcist was going through to offer my sad case as a warning. Alansohn (talk) 01:09, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm proud to help great editors like Historicist. Btw, you continued editing but have not corrected the double header.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:15, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Hare coursing article

I have redone two of my edits to the hare coursing article.

1) the use of the word "Bloodsport" is a political term used by animal rights campaigners and has no place in an article on a sport. In fact this article was originally written by Mikehoby who is a former employee of The League Against Cruel Sports and therefore the article itself is peppered with extreamly biased material.

2) There is no legislation or court ruling in any of the individual states of the United States of American that disputes the legality of coursing in that jurisdiction. The reference given in the article pretaining to any doubts of the legality of coursing in the United States of America is from an animal rights group; this is not a valid legal opinion.

Hi Alansohn, given you created this article I thought you would be interested in seeing this news citation. I tagged the article as unreferenced but I don't have time right now to do much more with it. Regards, Accurizer (talk) 11:23, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The current article is unreferenced, but only because it gutted completely what I had created in the first place. Alansohn (talk) 11:45, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

A favor

Would you put this new article up? The proper name would be Migdal Synagogue thanks Historicist (talk) 23:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

The Migdal Synagogue is an ancient synagogue on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

The synagogue was in use in the Second Temple period (50 BCE-100 CE).

The was discovered in 2009 a salvage dig conducted by Dina Avshalom-Gorni of the Israel Antiquities Authority on the site of new hotel at Migdal Beach, the site of ancient Magdala.

The synagogue is c. 120 square meters large. Like other ancient synagogues, it has stone benches built against the walls. The walls were decorated with frescos and the floor is made of mosaics.

Menorah image

A carved stone shows a seven-branched menorah flanked by a pair of two-handled jugs and a pair of columns.

Dr. Avshalom-Gorni explained the significance of the find. “We are dealing with an exciting and unique find. This is the first time that a menorah decoration has been discovered from the days when the Second Temple was still standing. This is the first menorah to be discovered in a Jewish context and that dates to the Second Temple period/beginning of the Early Roman period. We can assume that the engraving that appears on the stone, which the Israel Antiquities Authority uncovered, was done by an artist who saw the seven-branched menorah with his own eyes in the Temple in Jerusalem. The synagogue that was uncovered joins just six other synagogues in the world that are known to date to the Second Temple period”.
