Hasidic storytelling on Yiddish literature page

Hello Yoninah! I've just improved the Yiddish literature page, especially my former text on Hasidic storytelling and the Sippurei Ma'asiyot. Now it doesn't refer to "fairy tales"! I therefore took off the heading-section banner of "citations lacking". I hope it's OK now. Also, the image to represent the Sippurei Ma'asiyot on Hasidic philosophy is better! N.B. the former comparison of the Sleeping Beauty princess with its inversion in the "Lost Princess" is discussed in the Roskies book, "The Lost Art of Yiddish Storytelling" first chapter on Rabbi Nachman. But I took the uncited reference to this from the Yiddish literature page, as the Hasidic section needed to be similar brevity to the other sections, while such a detail, if cited, could be put on any future Sippurei Ma'asiyot page. I won't myself have the time to make such a page yet, as I now realise I would only want to do a proper job, and the research would take a long time.

I also admit (if you hadn't realised it already) to attempting to put the image of the Ukranian Trees-intuitive depiction of the imagination of Rabbi Nachman's Tales-on Nachman of Breslov page a couple of days ago! It was a long shot, as I guess it wasn't in keeping with the favoured concision of this page, but such intuitive imagery is more in keeping with the styles of other Hasidic pages on wikipedia. The image and caption probably wouldn't be out of place on, say, Hasidic philosophy or Deveikut, but there is already the other intuitive image to the Tales on Hasidic philosophy. Similar intuitive imagery is now on Hasidic Judaism. What do you think? Best Wishes April8 (talk) 22:56, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rav Odesser

I've changed "controversial" to "major." I think this is NPOV and I hope we can agree on this. Why should "controversial" be the first and foremost feature of this article? Anyone who's been to Israel has seen and heard Na Nach; the presence is very bold and widespread, and it is clearly a major influence. Also, why should opinion of the controvery be formed with respect to opinions of other "leaders" who are POV and have an interest in gaining or building a dynasty? Should we say Linux is controversial because it was rejected by influential companies Microsoft and Apple? Nissimnanach (talk) 02:00, 6 May 2010 (UTC)Nissimnanach[reply]

Umm whilst waiting ..... approve/advise on everybody elses hooks at DYK? Victuallers (talk) 06:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I modified the hook at the Did You Know nominations page. See Thompson's entry. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:57, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like it has been put into the queue with your new and improved hook. Good job. Thanks for being a DYK reviewer. -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:38, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
While I'm here, I see that you have an interest in Judaism. This is obviously not your usual area of interest, but it may tickle your fancy: I notice that there is no article on Virgin martyrs, even though many bio articles about early saints describe them as virgin martyrs. Feel like putting up a stub? Or, perhaps you know someone interested in Catholicism or saint articles? I also left a message at wikiproject Christianity noting this. Anyhow, all the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:42, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability concerns for Myer Rosenblum

Hi Yoninah !
Thank you for your comments - I now realise that his notability is questionable. Rosenblum is only just notable per WP:ATH. He played four (yep, only four) games for the New South Rugby union team. These were only post-facto recognised as Australian national Rugby Union team matches, and the retrospective recognition was for Rugby union in its amateur era . In that respect, the Rosenblum article would appear rather not DYK-worthy. I would argue that the "hook" for the article is that he gave the second longest serving Prime Minister of Australia his first job. Your thoughts?

Harry van der Kamp

Thanks for treating the DYK for the singer! I said soloist to stress that although he has a career as a soloist he is also interested and engaged in ensemble singing. But singer is fine, of course. I will try to find out more precisely if he had solo or ensemble function with the Huelgas Ensemble and others, "worked with" could mean both. I wonder if the composer Gesualdo got a DYK when created, quite a story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:00, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ensembles being improved a bit, one more question: which category would show the teaching of this Dutch singer at a German Hochschule? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:04, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your suggestion, taken, Dutch academic added. But how to describe: teaching in Germany, but not German, just for curiosity, not urgent. (My very first article got cats English cellists and German cellists, for being of English nationality but playing in Germany, discussed and accepted.) I would also like to learn why it's "Van der Kamp" but not "Van Beethoven"? I'll look for an answer here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, nice work on your recent edits to Henry Radcliffe Crocker. I just wanted to point out, though, that per WP:LEAD, the lead section is supposed to summarise the whole of the rest of the article.

Will look at the refs now, though realistically, will not compete until the morning.--SPhilbrickT 02:10, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've improved a number of the refs, but it is slow going because so many are from the 50's and 60's. (See Talk:Terrain_Gallery for some of the details.)In many cases, the original editor used a footnote as a combination of a citation and an explanatory footnote. I left the explanatory material in, and converted the citation, when I could find one, to a proper format. I haven't fixed all of them - do you have a sense of whether every single one must be linked to an online reference?--SPhilbrickT 00:43, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the extensive work you did improving the article. I added an Alt hook per your suggestion.--SPhilbrickT 14:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK process question

As nominator, I don't think I should be declaring that a DYK is good to go, but as you wrote the Alt hook, you might not be in a position to approve your own hook. I think we reached a great solution, with a vastly improved article and a good hook, I'd hate to stall here because others glance at this one and think it is being handled. I suggest that if you feel the article is OK, and two editors have endorsed the Alt hook, that you can go ahead and mark this approved. Does that make sense?--SPhilbrickT 15:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I'm nitpicking I know, but as the article is about a British subject, should we not be using the British spelling of "leukemia/leukaemia"? This is mentioned in the Leukaemia article itself as the British/Canadian spelling. Arthur Holland (talk) 08:10, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 20:05, 15 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Is there an official format style that indicates that titles in submissions should not be linked? I had seen in both ways. The vast majority of the time without a link. Sometimes with.

Building and destroying the Beit Hamikdash

Looking over the articles relating to the Temple in Jerusalem, there is lots of confusion, some stemming from opposing secular and religious scholarly outlooks, but more so from various editors making major contributions over the course of a decade and creating and running parallel articles about what should be one topic. This is the situation at the moment:

  1. Temple in Jerusalem is the over-all article. So far so good, but it does not connect with so many other articles about its own subject matter, essentially the First and Second Temples. There should really be more about its name and place in Judaism over the millennia as the Beit Hamikdash - "House of Holiness" that was built for, functioned for, existed for, was destroyed for, and prayed for by the Jewish people.
  2. The First Temple article is at Solomon's Temple which reads like a Christian exposition and not like the holiest Jewish house of worship and sanctity that it was, while the Second Temple article is at Second Temple of Jerusalem. This is inconsistent. In addition, there is also a separate and parallel article for the Second Temple at Herod's Temple since Herod's Temple was an extension of the Second Temple.
  3. When trying to place the destruction of the First and Second Temples, which according to Judaism occurred on Tisha B'Av, with the general dates for their destruction in Jewish history conventionally given as 586 BCE and 70 CE, when one tries to look for the times relating to the destruction of the First Temple, there is no linkage to the subject matter of the Jewish version such as the build up from The Three Weeks and The Nine Days but rather the Solomon's Temple/First Temple article links to Siege of Jerusalem (597 BC) which cites "Babylonian chronicles" (published by Donald Wiseman in 1956) making no mention of the accepted Jewish chronology and observances relating to the same time-frame. In fact it uses the Jewish-sounding months in the non-Jewish Babylonian time-frame. (The names were originally from Babylonia, but not the actual concepts and months themselves which were of Mosaic origin in the Torah itself). With more articles like this from non-Torah sources each with their own POV of course.
  4. The only "normally named" Temple is the Third Temple, which does not even exist! While the First Temple and Second Temple have still not earned the honor of a clear-cut and clearly identifiable name and articles for themselves.

This is a big job. But to start, please see how the article about the First Temple/Solomon's Temple can be improved by inserting into it more Jewishly relevant material about it's destruction that incorporates the timely themes of Seventeenth of Tammuz; The Three Weeks; The Nine Days; Tisha B'Av. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 06:20, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DYK hook for Sherman White (basketball)

Hi Yoninah. I see that you've been pretty active on verifying DYK hooks lately, and I didn't know where else to turn regarding a concern for one of my hooks. A few days ago, my hook for Sherman White (basketball) was accepted. I had written it to be:

"...that Sherman White was banned from ever playing in the NBA due to his involvement in a point shaving scandal in college?"

I just now looked at Template:Did you know/Queue to see how long it'll be until it makes the main page (because I thought it'd have been up there by now) and I find that the hook now reads:

"...that in 1950–51, Sherman White came within 77 points of becoming the National Collegiate Athletic Association's all-time single season leading scorer?"

Frankly I'm pissed. Not only did no one bother telling me, as the creator of the article, but the reason I chose my hook was because practically the entire article is about his involvement in one of the biggest controversies in college basketball history. Not only that, but the reason he didn't break the scoring record was because he was forced to prematurely quit the team once he was caught and the scandal broke! The hook, as it stands now, is a tangential DYK to Sherman White at best and is far less interesting (not to mention it's misleading) than the one I had written about being banned for life from the NBA.

Is there any way, if you get this in time, for you to change it? I can't figure out how and I'm really mad at whatever editor thought that his/her hook is better, because frankly it sucks. Thanks. Jrcla2 (talk) 16:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Made a little tweak to your Alt1 [2] and added source to hook [3], hope it's Ok with you. Why did you put the vote sign and not the Confirmed sign?--Sulmues (talk) 15:51, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent and thanks for letting me know how the Alt thing works, I had never figured it out and was too lazy to research it. Best! --Sulmues (talk) 16:03, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Second Temple (Judaism)

Hi Yoninah: Please see what you can do to deal with the "message" from the "CorenSearchBot" on the Second Temple (Judaism) article which appeared out of nowhere when I redirected the page without omitting anything from its previous Second Temple of Jerusalem location per the general consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Building and destroying the Beit Hamikdash. Thanks for your help in advance. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 06:59, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please

do not change other editors comments as you did here. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:17, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbi Berkowitz

Why do you continuously remove my statements about Rabbi Yitzchak Berkowitz? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.97.251 (talk) 18:16, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:

To begin with, I have listened to Rabbi Berkowitz for years and would never slander him. Secondly, I am not synthesizing anything- I am simply quoting what he himself has said. It is simply a published quote from a living person recorded through audio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ventura488 (talkcontribs) 22:38, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFA - I think you ought to!

I can understand your preference for content work. Despite Jimbo's pronouncement that adminship "should be no big deal" it has a habit of drawing people into all sorts of machinations. I now do predominantly content work and that is probably what I prefer. The tools are useful when I need them and if someone makes a request. JFW | T@lk 20:09, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the cleanup

I wanted to take the time to thank you for all of the times that you've cleaned up the little messes I've created and for all the work that you've been doing at DYK. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Alansohn (talk) 18:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Box and Cox

I suggested an alt hook at the DYK nom . Can you please revisit it? Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:24, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added the information you requested to support the first hook. I also think your Alt 2 is good. So please go ahead with either one. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 14:07, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Veda Brown

Thanks for your edits. Referencing is not my strong point, so I'm grateful for the help. One point I noticed is that you changed "sweepstake" to "sweepstakes". That reflects US usage rather than my (UK) usage (where the word "sweepstake" is used, unless there is more than one of them), and therefore your change is fine - but I wonder whether the drawing of lots to choose a name would be described as a "sweepstakes" in any case in the US. Would it? I'm in the hands of editors who use US terminology here. Can you advise? Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:34, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The ref says "sweepstake" - here - so we'll stick to that. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:35, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with Günter Reich and your approving words. I would like to interest you in the DYK nom for a great psalm composition we will sing on Sunday - a personal Special occasion for me. - Question concerning cite web: I understand that you use "date" for a precise date and "year" if you just know that. Wrong? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
