== 613 mitzvot typo? ==

In the article 613 mitzvot,  in the list of enumirators,  some of the books are listed in red and some in blue. Any significance?  [[User:Phil burnstein|Phil burnstein]] ([[User talk:Phil burnstein|talk]]) 22:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

== Idea for Talmud articles ==

Hi Fintor: I am reposting the following request from User {{User|Sh76us}} on my user talk page for wider notification:

:I was thinking of trying to stimulate development of a series of articles on [[Gemara]] concepts and doctrines, maybe to help children or newcomers to Gemara with explanations of some fundamental concepts that recur throughout the Gemara. Some examples might be articles on Yiush, Chazakah, Ta'aninun (as in "Ta'aninun L'Yoresh"), Eidim Zomemin (forgive my awful transliterations), Migu, etc., etc. Maybe we could even create a category or subcategory for it. I created [[Breira]] in this vein. As I don't have the experience or expertise in Wikipedia to know what to do to best develop this idea, I figured I'd come to you for your opinions on: (1) whether it's a good idea; and (2) How to best go about implementing it. Thanks [[User:Sh76us|Sh76us]] ([[User talk:Sh76us|talk]]) 15:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Centralized discussion at: [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Idea for Talmud articles]]. Thank you. [[User:IZAK|IZAK]] ([[User talk:IZAK|talk]]) 03:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== SR Hirsch ==

Hey there, Fintor. Today I was fixing the referencing on [[Samson Raphael Hirsch]] and thought that the article is actually in a fairly reasonable state. Wouldn't it be nice, given our collective hard work on this article in the past, if we could improve it to the level of [[WP:GA|good article]]? All that is presently needed is a slightly better handle on the matter of his philosophical legacy, which is partially cited and perhaps a bit [[WP:NOR]] (although I agree with the basic premise that there are three views). [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 22:27, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
== Paul Wilmott ==

Hi Fintor!  On 30 July I edited [[Paul Wilmott]] to delete numerous claims that were not supported by any inline citation.  Several hours later you restored some of these claims but at least some of them are still not supported by any inline citation. 

At [[WP:BURDEN]] you will find the statement: ''The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and '''any material challenged''' or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation.'' 

Note that the burden must be carried by the editor who adds or restores material.  When an editor deletes unsourced material there is no burden on him or her to provide evidence as to why it was deleted, other than evidence that there is nothing accompanying the material to demonstrate its verifiability.

When adding or restoring text to Wikipedia it is important that it is supported by sufficient information to confirm that the text is verifiable.  For example, you restored the paragraph saying ''He studied mathematics at St Catherine’s College, Oxford University, where he received his D.Phil.''  I am not doubting this statement, and I’m sure you restored it because you know that it is true.  However, at [[WP:Verifiability]] you will find the statement:  ''The threshhold for inclusion in Wikipedia is '''verifiability, not truth'''''.

If a statement appears in an encyclopedia, and Wikipedia in particular, it is not sufficient for the statement to be true – it must be verifiable.  There must be an inline citation, or at least a reference, which shows an independent source for this statement.

Please remove the statement about Paul Wilmott studying mathematics at Oxford and receiving a D.Phil until you are able to provide adequate information to establish its verifiability.  Please also check the other statements you restored on 30 July and satisfy yourself that the accompanying inline citation actually verifies the statement.  Please also avoid unencyclopedic, subjective, claims like Wilmott is ''best known ...''.  An encyclopedia strives to be objective throughout.

For biographical articles in WP, there are strict criteria.  See [[WP:BIO]].  [[Paul Wilmott]] may not qualify for retention in WP and the article may one day be nominated for deletion.  Ensuring all statements are verifiable (by using inline citations) will reduce the likelihood of the article being nominated for deletion.  Happy editing!

<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. 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...

<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]].

*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>

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Operations Research Society of South Africa]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]<!-- use [[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] for YELLOW flag --> A tag has been placed on [[:Operations Research Society of South Africa]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Operations Research Society of South Africa|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]].

The article [[Aharon Pfeuffer]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:<b>Doesn't appear to meet [[WP:BIO]]</b>

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.  Removing <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed Deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]].  I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:French Society of Financial Analysts]], and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://dbpedia.org/page/SFAF.  For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright policy]] for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.  If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on [[User talk:Coren|the maintainer's talk page]].

===[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:French Society of Financial Analysts]]===
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:French Society of Financial Analysts]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be a clear [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. 

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 [[:French Society of Financial Analysts|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:French Society of Financial Analysts|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.  <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:RadioFan|RadioFan]] ([[User talk:RadioFan|talk]]) 11:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

=== March 2010 ===
[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give [[:SFAF]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "[[cut and paste]] move", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is needed for attribution and various other purposes.  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> –&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Bradley Hand ITC; font-size:15px;">'''[[User talk:Toon05|Toon]]'''</span> 19:06, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

== [[Secant method]] - Introduction ==

Hi, before reverting again, please read your sources. They speak of a relation to Newton's method, as it is formulated in the first part of the sentence, but not of "Newton's method" as an alternative name for the secant method.--[[User:LutzL|LutzL]] ([[User talk:LutzL|talk]]) 09:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

== South African Wikimedia Chapter ==
The idea of setting up a local Wikimedia chapter has been discussed by South African Wikipedians (and those associated with other Wikimedia projects) for some time now, and we want to help turn this dream into a reality.  There are currently over 25 chapters established around the world, and several more planned and being discussed, but so far, none in Africa.  A South African chapter, should it become a reality, would be a continental first.  If you're interested in being involved in the creation of a South African Wikimedia Chapter, could you please [mailto:wikipedia@africancommons.org email me] directly :).  Thanks and have a nice day, [[User:Kaydee 68|Kaydee 68]] ([[User talk:Kaydee 68|talk]]) 11:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

== I have marked you as a reviewer  ==

I have added the "reviewers" property to your user account. This property is related to the [[Wikipedia:Pending changes|Pending changes]] system that is currently being tried.   This system loosens page protection by allowing anonymous users to make "pending" changes which don't become "live" until they're "reviewed". However, logged-in users always see the very latest version of each page with no delay.  A good explanation of the system is given in [http://myrandomnode.dyndns.org:8080/~gmaxwell/flagged_protection3.png this image].  The system is only being used for pages that would otherwise be protected from editing. 

If there are "pending" (unreviewed) edits for a page, they will be apparent in a page's history screen; you do not have to go looking for them. There is, however, a list of all articles with changes awaiting review at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]]. Because there are so few pages in the trial so far, the latter list is almost always empty.  The list of all pages in the pending review system is at [[Special:StablePages]]. 

To use the system, you can simply edit the page as you normally would, but you should also mark the latest revision as "reviewed" if you have looked at it to ensure it isn't problematic. Edits should generally be accepted if you wouldn't undo them in normal editing: they don't have obvious vandalism, personal attacks, etc. If an edit is problematic, you can fix it by editing or undoing it, just like normal. You are permitted to mark your own changes as reviewed.

The "reviewers" property does not obligate you to do any additional work, and if you like you can simply ignore it. The expectation is that many users will have this property, so that they can review pending revisions in the course of normal editing. However, if you explicitly want to decline the "reviewer" property, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 12:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC) &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 13:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Fintor, in case you didn't see the message on my talk page, you need to stop using the minor tag on every edit. It shouldn't be used if you are adding or removing content. See [[WP:MINOR]]; it's possible you have it enabled in [[Special:Preferences|your preferences]]. Combined with not using an edit summary, it makes your edits get buried in some watchlists and history, which isn't good for any controversial edits. BTW, you can reply here instead of my talk page.

== Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator! ==

Hey Fintor,

WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be Wikipedians for life 

Please visit [[Wikipedia:WikiAfrica/Incubator|WikiAfrica Incubator]]  to give us your honest feedback and evaluation. 
WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years. Find out more about this project here [[WikiAfrica]]. To get involved, contact Francis [wikipedian@wikiafrica.net]

== Regarding "Shlomo Ganzfried" article ==

I saw that you added to the article several years ago this paragraph (I'm quoting the way it is now): "To determine a ruling, Ganzfried based his decisions on three halakhic authorities: Rabbi Yaakov Lorberbaum; Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the first rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch, author of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav; and Rabbi Abraham Danzig, author of Chayei Adam and Chochmat Adam.

== Re: [[User talk:Thomasmeeks|Financial Economics review]] ==

Just had a chance to review Fin econ per above post 6 months ago.  What a tremendous effort and to such good effect.  In that time, article size has doubled, and number of hits per month is up by about 2/3. That's amazing. Moreover, the increase content from your major edits is remarkable, and your minor edits that you care about the small stuff stuff as well.

I would not expect you to do it, because you can rest on your well-earned and hard-won laurels, but anyone interested in the subject might replace the JEL sidebar for Fin econ with a new section that links the JEL the 2ndary & tertiary codes to their respective subjects, such as The New Palgrave JEL-abstract links [[Industrial organization#Subareas]].  Maybe you could urge others to others do it. You certainly have the clout for that.

Hi there! I am delighted to see that you're editing again. I've been cleaning up [[Samson Raphael Hirsch#Influence and Controversy]] and was wondering if you had some good sources for the outstanding citations?

I hope to add some other examples of "Influence" to counterbalance the "controversy":
* Three Generations by Grunfeld (I have a copy)
* S.R. Hirsch Mishnato ve-Shitato (Emanuel - I have no copy but it is cited by Klugman)
* Philips, Judaism Reclaimed ISBN 978-1946351784

The article [[:Economic History Society of Southern Africa]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''NN organization, fails the GNG and WP:ORG.  No significant coverage in reliable sources found.  Notability tagged for over a decade.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Economic History Society of Southern Africa|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User talk:Ravenswing|'''<span style="background:#7F00FF;color:#00FFFF"> '' Ravenswing '' </span>''' ]]   14:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Global Association of Risk Professionals]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|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.

A tag has been placed on [[:Douglas Breeden]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be an unambiguous [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|copyright infringement]]. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.commonfund.org/commonfund-teams/board-of-trustees. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]] for how you may obtain it.

I have noticed that you {{usertalk other|[https://xtools.wmflabs.org/editsummary/en.wikipedia.org/Fintor often]|often}} edit without using an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. Please do your best to '''always fill in the summary field'''. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! <!-- Template:Summary2 --> [[User:Curb Safe Charmer|Curb Safe Charmer]] ([[User talk:Curb Safe Charmer|talk]]) 09:56, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

== Minor edits (again) ==

You have been asked many times to stop marking almost all of your edits as minor. You were even blocked for it. But you started again almost immediately. Why? Look, this is what it comes to: if I find after 24 hours that you didn't stop, I'm going to block you for at least a month. If you can't understand the simple explanation at [[Help:Minor Edit]] then don't mark any edits as minor.

== "cut-and-paste move" ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Fintor|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[:Yosef Yaakov (Yoska) Sabatka]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into [[:Yosef Yaakov Sabatka]]. This is known as a "[[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves|cut-and-paste move]]", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|legally required for attribution]].  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is [[Wikipedia:Autoconfirmed|four days old and has ten edits]], you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page (the tab may be [[:File:Vector hidden move button.png|hidden in a dropdown menu]] for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove --> <big>[[User:-- -- --|'''--''']] [[User talk:-- -- --|'''--''']] [[Special:Contributions/-- -- --|'''--''']]</big> 20:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

== "Shiur" ==

Dear Fintor,
(My English is not good and forgive me if there are mistakes).
We do not know each other and I am addressing you regarding the entry "Shiur" in Wikipedia. (You was the first to write about it).
I would like to refer to the following sentences:
"The Hebrew term ("designated amount") came to refer to a portion of Judaic text arranged for study on a particular occasion...".
Well, the word "Shiur" in Hebrew (both ancient and modern) refers to a certain amount, it refers to material things, as well as to time. A "Shiur" is an allotted time. You determine an allotted time in which you teach (if you are the lecturer) or an allotted time in which you study (if you are the student).
It is written in the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat, page 35 (1): במסכת שבת, דף ל"ה עמוד א': אמר ר' יוסי בן רבי חנינא: ... שהרי נתנו חכמים שיעור לחזן (שמש) הכנסת להוליך שופרו שבו היה תוקע על גג גבוה באמצע העיר.
"Rabbi Yossi ben Rabbi Hanina said: ... for the Hahamim gave a frame of time, to the HAZAN (Shamesh) of the KNESSET, to play his SHOFAR in which he would blow, on a high roof in the middle of the city...". That is: The HAZAN had an allotted time.
/
And now for the main thing. As I wrote at the beginning, my English is not good enough and I would like to ask you to express the above in the "Shiur" entry
Tanks in advance.
Shabbat Shalom

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Research|WMF Research Team]]
