==Welcome==
I'd like to welcome you into the Wikipedia community. I'm sort of embarrassed that no one has already welcomed you. Anyway I saw that you wanted to do something with the Once Upon A Time.... page. It also looks interesting to me. I am also fairly new, but if you have any questions ask me, and I'd either know or try and find out the answer for you. --[[User:Rentastrawberry|Rentastrawberry]] 03:09, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

==Correction: Bnei Akiva SA==
Hi.
South African youth movements generally gauge size by the numbers they get at Machanot, specifically the end of year camps. Last year, Habonim Dror  'beat' Bnei by over 100 people, and thus can be considered the larger of the two. Both movements run activities throughtout the year, but it would be difficult to gage numbers that way. 
Habonim is also sending a significant number more kids on Shorashim (Bnei's Hadracha), a good indication of channichim's affiliation with the movment.
Please forward your own 'proof' to me - danielbarn@gmail.com - and make the nessasary correction on the Bnei page.

== [[Wikipedia:Once upon a time...]] ==
Hi -- and also welcome to Wikipedia.  I noticed your alternative proposal on the discussion page -- and well, I ran with it.  '''Be Bold!'''  So please drop over and look at the messes I've made.  Below is my initial note on the discussion page.  
:"I'll join in, but I think we all have to take some initiative to get this off the ground. The time constraints may be the main difficulty. After all, everyone here does have a real life, don't they? What if we took the info above, claimed a chapter, wrote from one of the listed characters or additional character's POV (I'll be Ethelynn, the new upstairs maid - Chapter 7, [[User:WBardwin/Chapter]].), and then put it together and edit jointly for content and flow? Each character would tell about events before, the murder, and events after from their POV, then we would have different snapshots to work from. We could then jointly write the revelation of the murderer and the conclusion. Having the first chapter to work from would be important, however. How goes it. Gkhan?"
Hope to see you grab a chapter too!  You did want to be Mr. Adams? [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 14:35, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm still interested -- but feedback is so essential if we are to produce a rational story line.  How about picking a character in the mystery story (see above) and giving it a shot.  You did express an interest in Adams.  I'll be glad to comment and help.  I think it still could work -- just slowly, it appears.  Best.  [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 19:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Peace, and hope to see you soonish...

==Akiva Eger==

dear Ayinyud,

would it be possible to move [[Akiva Eiger]] back to Eger. I am a descendant of him and all records point to his name being Eger. Also, his first name is spelled Akiba in some references.

== [[Template:User-AmE-0]] ==
As I'm sure you know, user templates are opinions shared by several members of Wikipedia. They are templates employed on individual user pages only, and do not claim to represent the official shared position of the Wikipedia collective. Still, some self-appointed dictators feel it is their responsibility to control individual expression on user pages. [[Template:User-AmE-0]], for example, was deleted by [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Kelly+Martin&page= User:Kelly Martin]; after being recreated, it was tagged for deletion by [[User:DreamGuy]] and its category removed by [[User:Carbonite]]. There are but a few people who want to control personal expression on user pages at Wikipedia and hundreds of us who do not want these few to succeed. In standing together to revert tyranny, despotism and censorship of individual expression on our personal pages, we can easily overcome these dictator-wanna-bees. Wikipedia can be for the people. Please help us oppose those in the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote|Arbitration Committee Elections]] who would turn Wikipedia into a dictatorship of controlled articles and user pages: <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Kelly_Martin&action=edit&section=3 Kelly Martin], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Jpgordon&action=edit&section=3 Jpgordon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Fred_Bauder&action=edit&section=3 Fred Bauder], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/James_F.&action=edit&section=3 James F.], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Jayjg&action=edit&section=3 Jayjg], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_January_2006/Vote/Mindspillage&action=edit&section=3 Mindspillage]</span>.

If you feel passionately about this, you can join us in alerting other users of these individual tags, that their personal expression on their user pages is being censored by people like [[User: Carbonite]]. To help, just go to any of the templates that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Carbonite&offset=20060104141015&limit=50 User:Carbonite has tried to change], and alert the people in those categories that they are not alone in their outrage and opposition. --[[User_talk:Jamal_al_din|<span style="color: #707550;">'''ل''æmäļ al diη''''' </span>]] 21:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

== [[Yaakov Meidan]] ==
Hi, Ayinyud. Just so you should know, Rav Meidan recently requested that his name be spelled as ''Yaaqov Medan''. You can see this reflected in the latest [http://www.haretzion.org/update.pdf ''Etzion Update''] (PDF), in the first couple of lines. I'm not sure what this means in terms of [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]], so I'm putting the issue on hold for now, but we should consider moving the article to [[Yaaqov Medan]]. Either way, a whole lot of redirects are in order. Shalom, [[User:DLand|DLand]] 19:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
:I posed the question to [[User:IZAK|IZAK]]. Let's see what he thinks. --[[User:DLand|DLand]] 19:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== add new articles or stubs to portal list ==

Hi and shalom.
Kudos on adding several new entries. Please add your new contributions to [[Portal:Israel/New article announcements]] in order to:
* let other Israeli-interested people know,
* avoid duplicate articles
* notify others who might take the baton and continue updating/improve your additions, editing, and category/stubs.

== Bnei Akiva ==

Hi

I notice you're in a "revert war" over what is the largest Zionist lardy dardy dah in SA.

Do you have stats to back up your assertion?

If not, I propose that the article should be amended to read "one of the largest".

Hey Ayinyud, someone recently suggested doing a wiki on South African slang. I am just occasionaly subjected to listening to it, however, I thought you may be more qualified on the topic. Jislaak. [[User:Telzer|Telzer]] 07:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== Article on terrorism==

You may find the article [[Terrorists of Pakistani origin]] interesting. It may be deleted soon in perhaps a few hours. 

If you have any views on having such articles on Wikipedia, please do share them at [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Terrorists_of_Pakistani_origin]]

--[[User:Robcotton|Robcotton]] 01:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

== Timelines ==

As I pointed out with regards to [[Maimonides]], the timeline should not be at the top of the article. This flies in the face of every Wikipedia formatting convention. I really think you should move them to the bottom of the respective articles.

I like the idea, though. Wouldn't it be better if you packed the whole thing in a template, so you don't need to update the code on every single page if you want to make modifications? [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 12:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

:Aaahh, templates. Start by having a look at [[Help:Template]]. Decide which content is generic, and which content you'd like to pass to the template as an argument. Your timeline is eminently suited for templatization. There are [[Category:User template coder|some users]] who may be willing to advise on the finer details.

I took at look at your request at [[WP:RT#Rabbis timeline template]], but unfortunately it cannot be fulfilled because of technical limitations. [[User talk:Mike Dillon|Mike Dillon]] 15:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:Got confused and thought you had requested this template, but it was actually [[User:Nadav1]]. Would you mind letting that user know since they claim not to know English on their user page, just Hebrew. [[User talk:Mike Dillon|Mike Dillon]] 15:14, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

<big>'''Now with 200% ''more'' Jewishness!'''</big><br>
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, [[User:L'Aquatique|L'Aquatique]].

<big>'''A Special Dispatch'''</big><br>
Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly [[WP:DICK|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's Law|Godwin-esque law]]. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.<br>
<big>'''In the News'''</big>
*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 [[User:Xyz7890|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.
<big>'''To Do'''</big>
* The [[:Simple:Main Page|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 [[:Simple:User:Eptalon/Religion-related_worklist#Judaism|here]] and a more extended list is [[User:John_Carter/Simple_English_wikipedia#Judaism|here]]. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: [[:Category:Top-importance Judaism articles|Judaism]] and [[:Category:Top-importance Jewish history-related articles|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.

<big>'''"Censorship" of names of G-d'''</big><br>
There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh]].

<big>'''Article Cleanup Lists'''</big><br>
[[User:B. Wolterding]] has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: [[User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings]] and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on [[User talk:B._Wolterding|his talk page]].

<big>'''In the News'''</big>

[[Image:The_Jewish_Barnstar.png|85px|left|The New Jewish Barnstar]]
*There is a collaboration drive to get [[Holocaust in Lithuania]] to [[WP:GA|good article]] status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or [[User talk:Piotrus|contact User:Piotrus]].
*WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article ([[Diane Keaton]] and [[David Beckham]], respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with [[Kabbalah]]. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject.
*After a rather heated discussion, there are now ''two'' barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{tl|The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{tl|The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar!
<big>'''To Do/Help Requests'''</big>
*If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named [[Moshe Idel]]. According to [[User:HG|HG]] there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for [[WP:DYK|DYK]] if the finished article is eligible.
*The folks at [[Shimon Peres]] need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see [[Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday]].

==Unreferenced BLPs==
[[File:Information.svg|30px]] Hello Ayinyud! Thank you for your contributions. I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''2''' of the articles that you created   are [[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons]].  Please note that all biographies of living persons '''must be sourced'''. If you were to add [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable]], [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]] [[WP:SOURCES|sources]] to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

# [[Yehuda Amital]] - <small>{{findsources|Yehuda Amital}}</small>
# [[Yaaqov Medan]] - <small>{{findsources|Yaaqov Medan}}</small>

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Jekuthiel ben Solomon]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Jekuthiel ben Solomon]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A3|section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|Wikipedia:Stub]] for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on [[Wikipedia:Notability|notable]] subjects and should provide references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] that [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Jekuthiel ben Solomon|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Jekuthiel ben Solomon|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they  [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-nocontent-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Jimmy Pitt|Jimmy Pitt]] ([[User talk:Jimmy Pitt|talk]]) 21:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
