Decline

Your welcome is courteous and respectful. In the same tone I respectfully decline. --BenjaminDavidAharonDvi (talk) 19:17, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Tachash

Benjamin, as a religious Jew I understand your frustration regarding the Tachash article. While the topic is to my mind a Jewish one, there are other opinions and the goal of wikipedia is to offer a neutral point of view on the subject. Your best option, if you'd like to make a difference, is to make sure that your viewpoint is fairly represented among the perspectives. Best of luck and I look forward to seeing your input on many more articles.Joe407 (talk) 04:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Neutral point of view

You've written "Jewish sacred topics should be treated by Jews and according to the Sacred Traditions of Israel." This is not what our policies call for. Please read WP:NPOV which says " Editors must write articles from a neutral point of view, representing all significant views fairly, proportionately, and without bias." What is it that you are declining above? Dougweller (talk) 06:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I see elsewhere that you are trying to decline becoming a member of the Wikipedia community. All editors are part of the Wikipedia community, so it's something you can't decline - the policies and guidelines apply to you as much as to anyone else. Dougweller (talk) 09:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
