Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

August 2020

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Kasbah. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. — Lauritz Thomsen (talk) 15:19, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

A clarification of the year is needed

The text says, "Upon graduation he settled in Lowell, Massachusetts where he set up his medical practice in 1867. By 1885, Dr. That same year,..." Presumably 1885 is meant. The article "Moxie" in Wiki says "It was created around 1876..." Is it possible to settle on one date for both articles? S. Valkemirer (talk) 14:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

The text says: "(more or less contiguous with the territory of the kingdom of Israel". The writer should have said coterminous instead of contiguous S. Valkemirer (talk) 19:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Redundancies

My conment concerns the following three lines:

Official languages None (de facto) English (de jure) French (de jure)[Note 1][2]

Since English and French are listed under the heading "Official languages," it is redundant to label them "de jure," which is just another way of saying official (de jure means 'by law').

At first I thought that None was the name of a language. It is not. If so, it is impossible to understand what "no language is de facto official" (= my reading of the first line if None is the English word none meaning 'not one').

The words "None (de facto)" should therefore be deleted.S. Valkemirer (talk) 23:59, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

"the regular preliminaries of laying out"

It would be good to explain the phrase "the regular preliminaries of laying out."S. Valkemirer (talk) 23:32, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Not "roughly contiguous" but "roughly coterminous"

Another pertinent article.

Several hundred Israeli Hebrew reborrowings from Yiddish are given in this article:

"Middle Spanish"?

What does "Middle Spanish" mean? What is the original Spanish term of which "Middle Spanish" is presumably a mistranslation?S. Valkemirer (talk) 02:06, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Heinrich Marx's father was the rabbi of Trier, a role which his older brother would later assume

Make clear whether "his" refers to Heinrich Marx or to his father.S. Valkemirer (talk) 14:46, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
