Somebody removed all references to me being a rabbi or Breslov and reduced me to bei ng "a writer" -- plus they removed a lot of other stuff from this page about me. I reverted to an earlier version. I suspect this may have been malicious, given that I have had so many run-ins with the Na Nachers on this site, so discrediting me would likely be a tactic somebody would use to tgry and discredit my talk criticisms. (Check out the histyory to see the edits -- all mostly by the samer person who has NO info on thier ID page.) It is true that I was not ordained in Breslov but came to Rabbenu later. However, nobody has ever contested that I am a rabbi. Oddly enough, they also removed all references to my peace activist work, even though my book on Jewish nonviolence remains in the list of pubs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rooster613 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: Thanks for coming over to the Country Yossi article and fixing up the the references I added and polishing it. I was working relatively quickly so I did the best I could with it, but you have now done hard work too to improve it. Thanks again, IZAK (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: Following a recent request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Outlines on religions for an Outline of Judaism for a series that already included Outline of Islam, Outline of Christianity, Outline of Buddhism, Outline of Hinduism, I then created and filled in Outline of Judaism as best I could. I looked over how some of the other "Outlines" were done, and then I took the Introduction directly from the Judaism article via cut and paste, and I then basically tried to use as many of the templates from Category:Jews and Judaism templates. It's a good start but can use improvement and polishing. Based on your knowledge and expertise could you please review it and improve it. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 15:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!! I really appreciate it!! XD SyFuel^Ignite_Burned 11:08, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. Sometimes you get blinded with your own work, and a second pair of eyes is just what an article needs. Cheers,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 21:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

On 11 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gabi (elephant), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the birth of Gabi (pictured with mother), the first elephant conceived in Israel through artificial insemination, was viewed live by over 350,000 people in 108 countries? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

In Jerusalem, most Breslov Hasidim are not affiliated with the Edah HaChareidis. I live here and can tell you most of them are not affiliated. It is a very small percentage. Also, virtually zero of the Na Nach Breslov are affiliated. Go to Shavu Banim or Chut Shel Chessed in Jerusalem and ask people if you wish. I don't have a reference to prove a negative. Since there is not a reference with your statement, should it be removed since it has no source, is speculative, and it contentious?

אֶפְרָתָה (talk) 14:04, 17 November 2010 (UTC)אֶפְרָתָה

There certainly are people, just not the majority of Breslov in Jerusalem. There is just one Rabbi and some of his followers. Na Nach are not spun off from him, nor are Shavu Banim, their 10 institutions, or Chut Shel Chessed. I don't think that you be able to find a link so show that anyone, except 1 Breslov Rabbi out of all the Breslov Rabbi's in Jerusalem are affiliated. Rabbi Berland and Arush have a massively larger following in Jerusalem and they are not affiliated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by אֶפְרָתָה (talk • contribs) 14:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for appraising me of the status of Karen Human Rights Group regarding its DYK nomination. Technically I did not nominate the article, only ask that reviewers excuse its tardy nomination if possible. I also advised the article creator not to be overly optimistic because of this criteria. Otherwise the remaining criteria should be applied with even hand. Where areas need attention, please advise the nominator, affording that opportunity to them for reconciliation. Again, thanks for also appraising me. Kind regards My76Strat 01:58, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi please go through my response to your review of my submission of Action for Rural Rejuvenation at the Did You Know nominations page. Thanks. Regstuff (talk) 09:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I have created a DYK hook for Upper Tribunal as requested. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. DavidWard ^talk 13:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look. 28bytes (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

OK, I moved two of the "number" hooks to Prep 2, which I'm filling now. Hope that helps. Good catch! 28bytes (talk) 20:13, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I was just about to send a further comment and my ALT4 hook when I got an edit conflict. I think this is important. Here's what I tried to send:

Just thinking this over, the reason Maiwald never wanted to see the movie again was because it was his own childhood he was depicting, which of course, is mentioned in the article, but I think needs to be spelled out in the hook too, no? Coming in just under the wire with:

• ALT4: ... that after Armin Maiwald produced an award-winning children's film depicting his own childhood experience in the grim aftermath of postwar Germany, he said that he never wanted to see the film again? Marrante (talk) 20:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I just moved that nomination to Prep 2... I'll restore it so you can discuss. 28bytes (talk) 20:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I just left my new ALT4 on the template page with a revised comment. Do as you see best, I guess. Thanks for your patience. Marrante (talk) 20:42, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah. SmartSE has withdrawn the deletion nomination for this since reliable sourcing has been provided. I was going to close the debate as "keep" but saw that you had a "delete" !vote and wanted to see if you still wished to delete the article. Thanks, 28bytes (talk) 13:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts on this article. I was about to give up on the DYK angle for it, so I am obliged to you for your kind attention. Cheers,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 16:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it is wrong to use the heading "legend" for the steam-powered boats that traveled underwater. A bit like saying that Noah's ark was a legend, which would offend some people. I have moved this paragraph down into "Early history". The reader can make their own judgement about the source. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:59, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

• I have been tidying up redlinks in this article, and realize a lot more could be added on later history. See Port of Dhamara for example. I will not make any significant changes until it is out of DYK though. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:04, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for improving Wolfgang Schäfer! I am not sure though if director is the right term - how about professor? - and almost sure that the link musical comedy is not quite Musikkabarett, perhaps better without link. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah, Recently I have expanded article Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project. Can you suggest good Hook for DYK for this article?-- . Shlok _{talk .} 06:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: Trust you and yours are well. Here is a topic that needs your expertise, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 December 8#Category:History of Hanukkah. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 11:03, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, anything that you can add to a peer review that you think might be helpful will be appreciated. The idea is to make sure that everyone who asks for comments gets some and that no one is ignored. Happy New Year! Finetooth (talk) 18:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

The article Kvitel you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Kvitel for things which need to be addressed. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 16:47, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

On 15 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Zoharei Chama Synagogue, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Zoharei Chama (Sunrise) Synagogue (pictured) in Jerusalem, Israel, features a huge sundial built to help worshippers determine the exact moment of sunrise and sunset? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi Yoninah: Hope you and yours are all well. I have awarded you The Tireless Contributor Barnstar for all your ongoing, untiring, uplifting, inspiring work on Wikipedia.

Hi Yoninah: Could you please help out with the following request that I received, thanks. IZAK (talk) 08:20, 27 January 2011 (UTC):

"Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik: Howdy. I've come across and appreciated your work on rabbinical biographies before, and in my usual process of trying to add sources to unreferenced biographies of living people I came across this article. I've been having some trouble finding reliable, secondary sources to verify/establish notability, although it sure looks like he would be independently notable with a bit of sourcing. I had been considering replacing the article with a redirect to Brisk_tradition_and_Soloveitchik_dynasty#Rabbi_Meshulam_Dovid_Soloveitchik, but when I noticed you'd been the original author, I figured I'd ask you if you could suggest/add something you consider appropriate and reliable first, so, any suggestions? References absolutely need not be in English, but I'm personally limited to reading English myself. Thanks in advance, --j⚛e decker^talk 20:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm making more progress after recognizing an alternate spelling, so feel free to pass on this if you wish, although sourcing improvements are always welcome. All the best, --j⚛e decker^talk 00:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)"

Sincere thanks to you both. --j⚛e decker^{talk to me} 20:54, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

I took a shot at making that family tree change, let me know if I've mucked it up, or if I can help with such changes in the future! Thanks! --j⚛e decker^{talk to me} 18:41, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed your work with the DYK process, and I wanted to let you know about the Wikipedia Ambassador Program, and specifically the role of Online Ambassador. We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If that sounds like you and you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors during the current term, which started in January and goes through early May. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE.

I hope to hear from you soon.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:39, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I have been linking to the aerodrome for over two years, and no one has ever complained. Just what is a malicious link, anyhow?

Georgejdorner (talk) 22:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

---

It sounds as though your computer will not open the link to the aerodrome, and you want me to open it and copy the link info into the format you supplied. Is that correct?

Hello! Your submission of Shloime Dachs at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! —David Eppstein (talk) 22:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

On 5 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Shloime Dachs, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that, besides giving hundreds of benefit concerts for residents of OHEL children's homes, Hasidic singer Shloime Dachs frequently hosts OHEL residents at his own home? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hey, I saw your edits at DYK and clicked over to your user page and was impressed. Have you considering applying to become a Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors? It is a great way to help college students become more familiar with Wikipedia, and make them good long term contributers! Sadads (talk) 19:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kabbalistic Palmistry. Do you think you could improve the Kabbalistic Palmistry. I started, but it needs help. Best wishes, IZAK (talk) 02:37, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: You may be interested to see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaim Rabinowitz. Thanks, IZAK (talk) 05:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: I have greatly improved the Young Israel Shomrai Emunah article that has been subjected to a hasty AfD, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Young Israel Shomrai Emunah. Thanks so much, 09:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't mind if you go ahead and promote it. I'm actually considering removing the Grove Music Online ref as the Grove Dictionary of Opera Singers is actually available for viewing, at least in the USA, in Google Books and no subscription access is required by the viewer. I may keep both refs in. Either way, the hook is cited. Best.4meter4 (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much; I've looked through all your last edits; it's impossible to make it better than you did! I remember that "bloody" descriprion in the source; hope it shall really hook :))) Thank you! Cherurbino (talk) 14:04, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: "So what did you decide about the hook? I think ALT1, about terrorists "opening fire"" — you see, I'm a novice in this nomination, so I fully rely upon your good impressario choice and taste :) Cherurbino (talk) 15:03, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, Yoninah! Today I found the nomination topic moved and asked 4meter4 a question, what to do next. As I understand, I am expected to fill some template with a phrase that shall appear in the first page. But where is it? Thank uou, Cherurbino (talk) 12:27, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Most of all, I'd like to thank you for your help with my article Leonard MacClain. You significantly improved it, and I'm grateful. I do have a question about page numbering. You renumbered the page number for the Leader-Post reference (necessary for the DYK nomination) because that's the number that appears on the Google Books index. However, in print form (as seen at the top of the page) the original page number is 18. I've changed the reference back to page "18", but if this is incorrect insofar as Wiki citations are concerned, please let me know, and if so is there an official Wikipedia policy on this? Again, many thanks! 78.26 (talk) 22:38, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again for all your help. I think it will have to stay at 3 articles linked from for now, I'm not sure how I would add this in to other articles without adding useless trivia to other pages. I might create a page for the "photona" instrument, but right now I only have the one source for it. Funny, this whole thing started because I picked up an LP record, and I'd never heard of the artist, so went to check Wikipedia and couldn't find anyting. Now I've been spending four days researching an artist that I've never heard (it's still in my "to listen to" pile.) Ain't intellectual curiosity grand! Anyway, your assistance has been valuable in the extreme. 78.26 (talk) 05:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

On 23 February 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the beach at Kiryat Sanz in Netanya was the first in Israel to schedule separate swimming hours for men and women? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Sorry I was not clear. The refs for the cellist are not formatted nicely but they are not "bare" or "naked". Too picky? I didn't say I don't know how to format. But I will go now and do so, although I hesitate because I am not the author, who obviously had the same question. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:27, 24 February 2011 (UTC) Sorry again, I was too late, you did it already! Thank you!! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Note for you at Talk DYK - National Screen Institute. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.}

Hi Yoninah

Thank you for re editing the aboved named article that I have put on Wikipedia recently. Honestly you didn't have to do it.

You could see obviously how much time and effect I have put into this article. Its very important in any article you find reliable and suitable sources for any wikipedia article.

By the way, thanks again and well wishes,

Anriz.

I hope that I met your concern about the artist's info by moving it to the "recordings" section (the clarinet's, not the harpist's). It is only supporting anyway, two more refs left, and - as already said in a DYK discussion - even if the "reliability" of a source is questionable, a recording is a recording. I would not like to move these links to External links because the connection would get lost. - This was concerning the hook. For the article in general: I found it, and found the information about a piece of ten minutes quite stunning. Again, some sources support others, right? My preferred hook would be that this piece was among the few which the Melos was "made for", but I would have difficulties to say that and to reference it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion, reading ALT3 again made me rearrange it to ALT4, please improve! I'm going to write on the missing Melos violinist, however short, for fairness. Overlinking: I don't quite understand why you removed the links to the instruments when they appear first in the article but added them for the Melos players. I would understand not linking at all (these very common instruments, unusual only in the combination), or linking the first time.? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:08, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

You are right, they appear in the bolded title. (I wonder if they are a true part of the title, not in French.) So the question is reduced to: do we have to link violin in an article on a composition? I guess that readers who got this far may know what a violin is, or know since they clicked on string quartet? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:38, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Yoninah. Please use my talk page, not the user page. I usually don't check the userpage anyway. I've responded there :) Thanks! -- Avi (talk) 02:34, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the additions, but do please add the architects infobox if you think that is better. I hope you didn't intend to remove the person box just because there is something better - otherwise all of our articles will self destruct! Victuallers (talk) 10:40, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah. I was just wondering if you could tell me what happened to the DYK nomination of the Anne Sharp article for 8th March. Is it in a queue that I can't find, or did it get deleted? Morag Kerr (talk) 12:24, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

It's OK, I've been pointed at the page now! Morag Kerr (talk) 15:03, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah, I've responded here. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 19:36, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. The capitalization is correct, as the authors wrote it. Don't worry, I did my homework. See, for example: AllMusic, Bloom's book, NY Times, Green's book, the IBDB, etc. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Bloeme Evers-Emden at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Thelmadatter (talk) 18:29, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits to the article. I thought that the family information in her 2007 biography (which was subsequently taken down) was not relevant, but I will make whatever revisions you want in order to resolve this nomination. How about, "Hynes is married and raised five children."? If that is all that you have in mind, perhaps you could add it to the text of the article, because my article space editing is limited. Again, many thanks for your assistance on this DYK nomination. Racepacket (talk) 20:55, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I added content for List of Olympic venues in sailing. I also think that the suggested hook you had should not be used. This is because I used this same hook for the Venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics in December 2010 for which the article got a DYK. Chris (talk) 13:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

The extra content was added now to reach above the 100 characters needed. Hope this helps. Chris (talk) 13:30, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Nice work! Chesdovi (talk) 12:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

On 20 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bloeme Evers-Emden, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hi. Tx for formatting his refs. As to the ELs, I think they are appropriate. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:29, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah: Thanks for bringing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Avraham Friedman to my attention. I have worked to improve it as best I can for now. I am not sure why you wish to search out such articles for deletion rather than seek ways to improve them, because this man is a very notable rosh yeshiva in Chicago. Please do not act against Template:HTC Roshei Yeshiva either, in spite of red links that get filled-in over time, it serves as an important navigational and educational (hence encyclopedic) tool about an important Torah institution in America. Remember that WP:NOTPAPER and there is room for all this especially as you are very familiar with such topics based on your past editing. Thanks again and be well, IZAK (talk) 07:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah. Thanks for reviewing my submission. I have added the requested information and a supporting ref. Thanks! 28bytes (talk) 01:17, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Yoninah. Thank you for the review. I responded at the nomination page. If you do not like my alt3, it is OK,please choose one of yours. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:24, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi Yoninah, Many thanks for your interest in the article. I have added citations and edited the literacy section to make it more encyclopedic, as you suggested.

All best, Schmausschmaus (talk) 10:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Alt hook would seem to be ok. Thanks.
