Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 169.47.23.50. I'm not sure what a proxy is, but I followed Google's instructions on how to remove one, and it seems fine. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 19:09, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 169.45.225.222. I think I figured out what I did wrong in my last attempt to shut off me proxy/vpn. If it's still on, can another editor be so kind as to tell me step by step how to shut it off on Windows 10. If you do, and I can start editing again, I'll give you "The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar" (Apparently, Google's instructions weren't helpful). Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 4:24 am, 25 June 2020, Thursday (8 days ago) (UTC+2)

User:Vanjagenije, my account is not blocked. It's the ip address of the computer that I use that is. I am sometimes able to use another computer that's ip address isn't blocked, but it would be nice if the blocked one is unblocked, as I am able to use that one more often.

You are still on it. We can't help you shut it off without knowing which one you are using. Are you using Hotspot Shield by chance? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 02:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Young Israel Synagogues moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, List of Young Israel Synagogues, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Celestina007 (talk) 20:24, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: List of Young Israel Synagogues has been accepted[edit]

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as List-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

Prod of List of Chabad houses[edit]

Hello, I have removed the WP:PROD tag you placed on List of Chabad houses because that page has previously been discussed at WP:AFD with a consensus to redirect. If you wish to pursue deletion, please list at WP:RFD. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:18, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further Research Regarding Proxy[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Charlie Smith FDTB (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 169.45.225.222. User:ST47 blocked my IP address a while ago for using a proxy/vpn. Research has shown that since my computer has a Techloq filter, Wikipedia sees it as using a proxy. Since religious beliefs are what brought me to use the filter (see https://guardyoureyes.com/articles/windows-of-the-soul/item/day-7), it will not be removed. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 00:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. Please follow the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY to request an IP block exemption. 331dot (talk) 13:23, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich[edit]

The new article that I recently created, Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich, has a couple of errors. I intend to fix them as soon as possible, but due to blocking issues, I cannot until I have access to another computer. (I created the article on one that isn't blocked, but now do not have access).

--Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 00:05, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came across your new article and did some wikifying and fixing of links. If you'd like, I could fix the references section, which is very repetitive. WP:SRF would be useful here. If you're interested, I could also nominate it as a new article for Did You Know? which features new articles on the main page of Wikipedia where they will get hundreds of views.

By the way, are you thinking of posting an article for Simcha Wasserman? That's been on my to-do list a long time. Best, Yoninah (talk) 10:11, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I didn't realize someone posted Simcha Wasserman last month. Well, it needs work... Yoninah (talk) 10:12, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. It would be very nice if you can nominate it for Did You Know? Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 13:51, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. The only thing I can think of to use as a hook is the sentence: Even students who had studied independently in other yeshivos and wanted to join the Baranovich Yeshiva would first need to join a shiur in Baranovich for several years before being able to learn by themselves. Could you add an inline cite to that sentence, and also give me the wording in the source that verifies it? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I also changed that section a little bit, as you'll see. Thank you. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 17:05, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I just meant that I needed the wording from the source to submit the DYK nomination. I formatted the citation like the other ones. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:03, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See Template:Did you know nominations/Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich. I decided on a different hook, though I daresay it won't attract a large audience. Could you provide me with the text from the book here? (The book is available at my local library, but I haven't had time to go up and borrow it.) If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From Aaron Solasky's Reb Elchonon , page 106: "The Baranovich bachurim became renowned. They were singled out as the students possessing sound foundations in learning skills, who had the capacity to obtain a basic mastery on the Gemara text. They were accorded preferred status in all yeshivos." Thank you. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I got ahold of the Reb Elchonon biography and revamped and added cites throughout the presentation. While ArtScroll is writing in a very hagiographic way, it's important to be totally factual and "dry" when writing these encyclopedia entries. Now that all the statements are sourced, I'll start thinking about a different hook to suggest for DYK. Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 20:54, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion at Category_talk:Orthodox_rabbis_from_New_York_City#This_category's_description_is_wrong_and_subcats_need_to_be_fixed.[edit]

You are invited to join the discussion at Category_talk:Orthodox_rabbis_from_New_York_City#This_category's_description_is_wrong_and_subcats_need_to_be_fixed.. This is regarding a discussion we need to have about how YTV and YU, and others obviously should not be under NYC and US, but individuals should be under NYC. YU and YTV should have one cat. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 04:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of files proposed by Whpq[edit]

Sorry. I thought this was okay because I only put the pictures onto a userpage and onto an article that wasn't such a great article. I'm sorry for causing you distress. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 03:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image uploads[edit]

Hi, I think you would be much better off going over to the Hebrew Wikipedia and finding rabbi images that have been correctly uploaded over there. Many are on Commons. This image of Rabbi Moshe Shmuel Shapira is obviously a scan and the photographer has not been dead for 70 years, so I nominated it for deletion. Meanwhile, the Hebrew page has lots of good images to choose from. You can also crop/enlarge the person you need out of a picture using CropTool. Best, Yoninah (talk) 22:14, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I never uploaded that image. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 22:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know. But I saw some posts above about images, so I thought you might like to know. Yoninah (talk) 22:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 22:29, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Aryeh Leib Baron moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Aryeh Leib Baron, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Mcampany (talk) 02:48, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why must the article be moved to draftspace if the Template:Unreferenced can simply be put at the top? There are currently 213,000+ pages without references. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license[edit]

Unspecified source/license for File:Rabbi Yechiel Mordechai Gordon.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Rabbi Yechiel Mordechai Gordon.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 17:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your thread has been archived[edit]

Hi Charlie Smith FDTB! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, The New Template:Pre-World War II European Yeshivos, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Israel category[edit]

Hi, why did you remove people from the Israel category when it's clear that they moved there after 1948? I put that cat as a subcat of Land of Israel so that you can drill down but for those where it's clear that Israel is clear, that cat should be used. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 23:23, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not all of them moved there after 1948. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 23:35, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can remake it, only incuding those who moved after 1948. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 23:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie Smith FDTB, I think I did already. Or caught most of them. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 23:43, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Charlie Smith FDTB, right, but those that did should use the Israel category. That way we have it better compartmentalized, between the modern rabbis and then everyone else. The Israel cat is under the main cat so it all flows through. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 23:42, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs[edit]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Moshe Rosenstain, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK. Let me know if you need help, _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages[edit]

Thank you for your recent articles, including Moshe Rosenstain, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice; I will try to add the templates from now on. As for the DYK nomination, I am not able to nominate it myself (as I have never reviewed other nominations), so if you can nominate, it will be great. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 17:40, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeshivos[edit]

Hello Charlie Smith FDTB. I noticed your new article at Pre-World War II European Yeshivos. While it seems well-organized, the plural 'yeshivas' is quite widely-used on Wikipedia and it's unclear why we should use two different spellings of the same entity. Could you take a look at Category:Yeshivas and the sub-categories below it? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:31, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, one draft of your new article is still at Charlie Smith FDTB/More W.I.P., which in spite of its name is actually in main space rather than user space. Would you mind if I delete that under WP:CSD#G6? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:34, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, yeshivos is grammatically correct in Hebrew, yeshivas is a bad plural or a Yiddish/Yeshivish plural. It can go either way. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 19:52, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We currently have a main-space redirect from yeshivos to our yeshiva article. But the question is whether we should be propagating two different names through our own category system. Would you think that searches for 'yeshivas' and 'yeshivos' should bring up two different sets of articles? Naming of articles is controlled by WP:COMMONNAME which reflects the name for the thing that is most frequently used in English, not necessarily the appropriate name in the language of the original word. EdJohnston (talk) 19:59, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, the thing is that if you are looking for the plural, you'd search for "yeshivos" if you know. [1] Note the organizations have Yeshivos in their name. And COMMONNAME is interesting because both yeshivas and yeshivos are used and spoken, I think it might be proper to use the correct grammatical title. I have this discussion every so often where commonname is not necessarily correct, for example Chesvan. Although I think because yeshiva already entered the English language, that we should use that title, so it can go either way. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 20:08, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a preference, and if anyone would like to move the article, it's fine with me. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 20:10, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

EdJohnston, the plural should be Yeshivas because 1) Consistency; we now also have Yeshivas in World War II. 2) The reader will think the singular is Yeshivo. While that might be (also) grammatically correct, the common spelling here and everywhere is Yeshiva, hence the plural Yeshivas. StonyBrook (talk) 23:42, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich[edit]

On 14 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that students in the Baranovich Yeshiva, a premier Torah institute in pre-war Europe, spent years learning to understand the simple meaning of the Talmud? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jewish History: A Trilogy (August 20)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Please replace Goodreads sections and offer some real critics reviews.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jewish History: A Trilogy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jewish History: A Trilogy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

MOS:CREDENTIAL and MOS:BIO[edit]

Please review MOS:CREDENTIAL and MOS:BIO; articles should not be filled with dozens of "Rabbi " before every person's name, nor should the refer to an individual in random differing ways in the same article (e.g. Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, Rabbi Chaim, R' Soloveitchik, Reb Chaim Brisker, etc.). Individuals should be referred to by their last names. Please respond. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:RebiShimon.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:RebiShimon.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Wikiacc (¶) 02:38, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Rabbis in the Holocaust[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Rabbis in the Holocaust requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz ^{Read!

On 10 November 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yeshivas in World War II, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some of the students of yeshivas in World War II were exiled to the remote Komi Republic to do forced labor? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Yeshivas in World War II. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Yeshivas in World War II), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Steven Spielberg and "spiel"[edit]

I have a personal rule of always explaining reverts of good-faith edits, and, while I didn't click "rollback" or "undo" to make this edit, it did have the effect of fully undoing an edit of yours from August.

My edit summary partly explains my reasoning, but, to elaborate: I cited WP:SYNTH off of the top of my head in the summary, but in retrospect the most on-point policy or guideline is probably WP:NOTEVERYTHING. In my opinion, that his name means something relevant in Yiddish—a fact that, I'll note, I do personally find interesting, having quite an interest in Ashkenazi surnames myself—only merits inclusion if RS think that it's significant. (Otherwise, do we mention every black-haired Schwartz, every short Klein, etc.?) If there are RS saying that it's significant (à la Usain Bolt), I would not object to you reverting me with those citations. I'm also happy to make my case at greater length on the article's talk page, if you wish. Tamzin (they/them) | o toki tawa mi. 20:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Students of the Mir Yeshiva[edit]

Hi, it's unclear why you keep creating these categories that are inappropriate, as they could potentially house thousands of pages. We already have Template:Mir Yeshiva to take care of these leading rabbis. I'll have to take care of nominating this for deletion after Shabbos, though if you could do something about deleting it, it would be appreciated. Yoninah (talk) 13:41, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another inappropriate category: Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1942. Why are you doing this? Yoninah (talk) 13:43, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And another: Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1943. I wonder how much time this will take to file deletion discussions for all of these. Please stop. Yoninah (talk) 13:44, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I trust you implicitly and added "db author" to the new categories. However, it's hard for me to understand how "Category:Rabbis' deaths in 1942" can include more pages than Category:1942 deaths. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 18:14, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. To my understanding, Category:1942 births and Category:1942 deaths are catch-all categories. If someone cannot be categorized any other way, at least they can be categorized there. The only other broad categories I've seen are all the sub-categories under Category:Deaths by type of illness. If you would like to know if you're categorizing properly, you could start reading here, maybe post on that talk page. Best, Yoninah (talk) 16:51, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kindly delete this category too: Category:Rabbis that emigrated to Israel. We already have Category:American emigrants to Israel and Category:Haredi rabbis in Israel. I understand that you are trying to promote a small group of Haredi Torah leaders, but you really need to understand the point of WP:Categorization first. Yoninah (talk) 18:29, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having trouble understanding the page history on that last one. Sir Joseph, could you chime in here? What is the point of Category:Rabbis that emigrated to Israel? "Rabbis" could refer to any post-graduate rabbinical student. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, hi, IIRC it was just split from the main "Rabbis that emigrated to the Land of Israel" to make a better categorization for those we have an article for and moved after 1948. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 17:56, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jewish History: A Trilogy (December 13)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SL93 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jewish History: A Trilogy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jewish History: A Trilogy, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Tree chart[edit]

Hi, I hope I helped solving the problem with User:Charlie_Smith_FDTB/Even_More_W.I.P.. I noticed you have other plans with trees, so I'll share some thoughts in the hope that they will help you. The width problem seems to be a common problem/bug discussed at Template_talk:Tree_chart#Bug_with_far_right_columns? and probably elsewhere. To sum it up, adding "| " one or more times at the end of the longest row can help,... if you are lucky. If you really want the boxes to be narrower, not just proportionate, adding <br>'s can work, not sure if that would also requires more adjusting. Otherwise considering the boxes three columns wide kinda works, but the documentation isn't exceptionally clear. I pretty much had to re-add one or two lines at a time and check if something went wrong on the way. Hope this helps and continue with the good work.

Shlomo Simcha Article Draft[edit]

Hi Charlie Smith FDTB,

Thank you for contributing to the article I submitted on Shlomo Simcha. Still being new here, I don't quite understand the purpose of the changes you made, but I appreciate that you took the time to make what look to be code improvements for headers. If you have some time to explain the purpose of the changes, the information could be helpful for any future articles I submit.

Cheers, GreenEli (talk) 15:10, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenEli: I'm happy that the article was moved to mainspace; I feel that Shlomo Simcha is a notable figure and an article about him is important; thank you for creating it. To answer your question, Heading Level 1 is never used in articles, rather sections use Level 2 and subsections use Level 3. See Wikipedia:Headings or Wikipedia:Writing better articles#Headings. As for moving the citations from the Collaborations and Features title to right below it, I don't think I've ever seen citations included in a title. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explanation. I'll have to use that going forward. In terms of the citations in the title/headers, I couldn't think of a better place to put them, but definitely felt them necessary to show that he really was part of so many works. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody had made an article on him until now! Thanks again! GreenEli (talk) 23:50, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reb Simcha Sheps[edit]

Hi, I'm assuming your the one who wrote on Reb Simch Sheps page that his family brought out a sefer of his on Bava Kama called "Divrei Simcha", I was wondering if you could forward me to anywhere i could purchase that sefer or maybe the person who brought it out.

Many Thanks--חיים רקיד (talk) 13:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

חיים רקיד, the sefer was mentioned in a short biography, published by Yeshiva Torah Vodaath. The biography can be found here. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 15:59, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source/license for File:Half shekel coin.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Half shekel coin.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Proposed deletion of File:Half shekel coin.png[edit]

The file File:Half shekel coin.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Redundant to File:Half Shekel.jpg which is hosted on Commons

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Rabbi Reuven Katz.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Rabbi Reuven Katz.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:54, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Targum Press/Menucha Errors[edit]

Targum Press still exists -- Menucha Publishers is a separate company (see menuchapublishers.com vs targumpublishers.com and targum.press)

While Menucha reprints and distributes old Targum books, Ktav.com distributes Targum books published after 2011

Just taking the Targum Press page and renaming it to Menucha is wrong - it hurts the people involved with Targum

Could you undo the Targum redirect to Menucha and restore the old Targum page? And remove the claim that Targum became Menucha?

Full disclosure -- I currently run Targum.

Akiva Atwood

Akiva Atwood, I didn't realize that Targum is still around, a. for the reason you brought up, that Menucha reprints and distributes Targum books, b. the website domain Targum.com, redirects to Menucha's website (and the website Targum.com is the one on old Targum books as well as the website Google displayed when I made the move.), c. the website Kosheronbudget.com says says that Menucha Publishers is the former Targum Press.

I can revert the move, but I would first want to know why Targum.com, the website written on all books published before 2011, redirects to Menucha; why the new Targum website is "Targum Publishers" and not "Targum Press"; and whether the publishing company that you run, Targum, is indeed the same one that has been around for decades, or if it is a newer company created around the same time as Menucha. Maybe I can write about both your company as well as Menucha on this page.

I meant no harm to you or to any other people involved in Targum, and I hope we can clarify these points. I will then work to revert the page move. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 19:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HI. I can give you the entire history -- probably better via email (akiva@targum.press or akiva@targumpublishers.com). Thanks

City of David[edit]

Hi @Charlie Smith FDTB:. Do you think that you can help us rewrite the lead paragraph in the Wikipedia article City of David? As you can see here, the lead paragraph does not accurately portray a summarization of the article, based on Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section calls for the lead section to summarize the content of the article using 4 or 5 paragraphs Thanks.Davidbena (talk) 14:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Targum History[edit]

Hi @Charlie Smith FDTB:. I can give you the entire history -- probably better via email (akiva@targum.press or akiva@targumpublishers.com) since much of it is confidential. Thanks You can also check the ISBN numbers of the New Targum books published since 2011 (at ktav.com). You'll see that they are all registered to Targum Press even though we're using the Targum Publishers imprint (for legal reasons)

Hi Akiva. I'm currently not editing as I'm in school but I hope to continue working on this on our break. Charlie Smith FDTB (talk) 03:00, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Rabbi Yitzchak Eyzik Sher.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Rabbi Yitzchak Eyzik Sher.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:26, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Sher.jpg[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Sher.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Targum Press[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Targum Press, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. scope_creep^Talk 20:45, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Numerous stacked cans, several types and brands.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Numerous stacked cans, several types and brands.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. ✗plicit 01:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
