Talmud rabbis in Palestine

Hi IZAK: Do you recall if you discussed this change at "Categories for discussion?" Chesdovi (talk) 00:06, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Chesdovi: Thanks for contacting me. The above change goes back to 19 December 2006 over five years ago. No one has complained. It also makes sense because

1. it follows the Hebrew/Jewish terminology, see it there, that it was already:
2. linked to he: קטגוריה:אמוראי ארץ ישראל
3. part of Category:Rabbis of the Land of Israel, and therefore
4. it was logical that it be re-directed to {{category redirect|Talmud rabbis of the Land of Israel}}. So leave well enough alone. Don't be so hooked on creating "changes" to non-Jewish names when the Jewish names are acceptable.

Note, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 06:13, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Are you interested to comment

Aren't you interested in commenting on the discussion at Category_talk:16th-century_Palestinian_rabbis#Rfc? Debresser (talk) 00:43, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

• Hi Debresser, thanks for contacting me. I have looked at the "discussion" a few times and I have not been able to make practical sense of it, primarily because Chesdovi seems to be motivated by current-day politics and seems to want to make all sorts of "points" almost violating WP:POINT and his flurry of CfD nominations makes it more complicated to reason with him. If the parties could summarize in a few sentences what they see as the "problem/s" and what they wish to implement as a "solution" then I could know how to respond, but with people just talking past each other while being driven by seeming ideological agendas it makes it difficult to get involved and express a position. I am certainly not interested in getting involved in "taking sides" in squabbles that are going nowhere. So please help me, and the situation, by clarifying what's happening and giving people coming into the debate clear choices, not just expecting them to take up arms to do battle. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 03:01, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your serious response. The issue there seems to be clear: should we have categories named "nth century Palestinian rabbis" or not? Chesdovi does seem to have a history as a problematic editor, yes, and I can only guess as to his motivations. Debresser (talk) 06:17, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Debresser. Obviously the name "Palestinian" is a loaded term today and should be avoided when referring to Judaism-related topics as much as possible because it is a confusing label and has problematic political and historically confusing and contradictory meanings. It's not used by Judaism because the term "Land of Israel" defined as all areas that had been historically classified as part of the Kingdom of Israel+Kingdom of Judah+Judea where Israelites/Judeans and their spiritual leaders/prophets/rabbis had and still lived and it is the way Jews always referred to it, certainly as it should apply to Rabbis the religious leaders of Jews and Judaism. Let there be the parent Category:Rabbis of the Land of Israel by century (itself a sub-category of the main Category:Rabbis of the Land of Israel) and then take it from there, there would be twenty main sub-categories covering the 2000 years of the exile from the times of the destruction of the Second Temple circa 70 CE until the establishment of modern Israel in 1947/8:

1. Category:First century rabbis of the Land of Israel
2. Category:Second century rabbis of the Land of Israel
3. Category:Third century rabbis of the Land of Israel
4. Category:Fourth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
5. Category:Fifth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
6. Category:Sixth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
7. Category:Seventh century rabbis of the Land of Israel
8. Category:Eighth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
9. Category:Ninth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
10. Category:Tenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
11. Category:Eleventh century rabbis of the Land of Israel
12. Category:Twelfth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
13. Category:Thirteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
14. Category:Fourteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
15. Category:Fifteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
16. Category:Sixteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
17. Category:Seventeenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
18. Category:Eighteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
19. Category:Nineteenth century rabbis of the Land of Israel
20. Category:Twentieth century rabbis of the Land of Israel (until 1948 when they then become Category:Israeli rabbis since Israel becomes an official country, but they could also be included in the above if need be).

That is what I recommend. I will note this at the discussion. Thanks again for your guidance. IZAK (talk) 18:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Synagogue support in NJ

Hey, thank you so much for your support regarding these pages (TBS, TE, and M'Shalom)! I was stunned when User:Concerned Vancouverite marked all three for deletion at once. These pages have been up for months, and I specifically made them because they are notable for this large Jewish community that they serve. It does not make sense because there are hundreds of pages about small synagogues, what are they going to mark every one for deletion?! I doubt it. Anyway, thanks again for being in favor to keep these on here. Tinton5 (talk) 17:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Hebrew redirections

in 2006 User:A.R. made redirections such as כלבת that redirects to Rabies, or צ'אראפונג'י and many more. while the redirection itself is not incorrect, it seems a little unnecessary. is there a reason for that or just no one paid attention to those unnecessary articles?

File source problem with File:Pres GW Bush mounting jet.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Pres GW Bush mounting jet.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Sorry to notify you about such an old upload. However, there is no source. You wouldn't remember where you got it from, would you? Lupo 07:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

• Hi Lupo: It's sourced, see:

Thank you, IZAK (talk) 08:22, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, that's not a source. A source would be a reliable source indicating that this was indeed the right tag for this image. Lupo 08:58, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

2004 is a long time ago. It's a military photo. User Evil Monkey (talk · contribs) added the tag [1] and that should taker care of this, please ask him if he agrees with you or not. IZAK (talk) 04:52, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

No source provided - sorry. Now this is **PROBABLY** an official USAF photo, however it's not sourced as such. I suggest that whomever wants this to be used email President Bush's office - 'info@ogwb.org' - and ask for a photo of him with the F-102. Bwmoll3 (talk) 09:08, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Use this pic in the article File:Lt George W Bush - Texas ANG photo.jpg . I just uploaded it to commons with a USAF source documented . Bwmoll3 (talk) 09:23, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Since the "no source" tagging on File:Pres GW Bush mounting jet.jpg has been reverted again by IZAK, that file is now on PUF. Lupo 10:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

IZAK, stop reverting them. E-mailing Bush is pointless because they do not likely have information on who took it, and I can guarantee that. You need to e-mail the public affairs office of the 147th Reconnaissance Wing or file an Electronic Freedom of Information Act request through the Air Force Research and Historical Agency. It is likely that the wing has the information because they are the ones who were the likely origin of the photo. The AFRHA might have it because they tend to collect things and are quite adept at cataloging information and I am sure that they would know something about the image, although I cannot say that with complete certainty. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 15:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kevin: Thanks for your suggestion. I have now sent the same Email (see below) with an Electronic Freedom of Information Act request through the Air Force Research and Historical Agency (AFRHA). They have acknowledged receipt of the Email and hopefully will get back to us on this ASAP. IZAK (talk) 10:51, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Email sent to office of Presdient GW Bush

Thank you Bwmoll3 for your help and excellent suggestion. I have accordingly just sent an Email as you suggested to info@ogwb.org that reads as follows:

"To Whom It May Concern:

There is some debate on Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pres_GW_Bush_mounting_jet.jpg about the "source" of the photo (uploaded and posted since 2004), of President GW Bush at that time.

It was suggested that permission be granted from your office, see the discussion at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:IZAK#File_source_problem_with_File:Pres_GW_Bush_mounting_jet.jpg

Could your office please grant official use of this image.

Thank you in advance!

Yours sincerely,

User:IZAK of Wikipedia."

Hopefully we will get an official response soon and as soon as I do I will post it here and forward it to those concerned. So please be patient. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 10:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I saw the AFD and I tried to find citations, but couldn't come up with anything. This is just another case of a yeshiva with no general coverage.

Outline of Judaism

Wikipedia's coverage keeps expanding. Would you mind looking this outline over to see what topics are missing? I noticed you are far more familiar with the subject than I am. I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist 02:30, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks for contacting me. This is a vast topic and I am afraid no "outline" will ever really come to grips with what's important in Judaism/Jewish History because there are so many points of view that range from ancient to modern and much in between, and from differing Western and Eastern perspectives, religious and secular outlooks and sources. I would need a lot more time and a really settled frame of mind to do the kind of justice you ask for, so I will not tamper for now, but please remind me about this again, as now is the time of the major Jewish High Holy Days.
