"As of" dates

Jayjg, I left a note to Tony1 about clearing up the as of year links; I was surprised to see that is still in MOSDATE. When I sent you to WP:MOSDATE#Precise language, I was referring to the actual section heading, "Recent events". Maybe you can follow up with Tony1? Since dates are no longer linked, maybe they just missed that section and failed to update it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 07:44, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Goodness ! Fast. But I still have to get Tony1 to see if they overlooked that when the rest of dates went delinked. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 07:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Well. Now we both know more about "as of" than we ever cared to know :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Jayjg, I'd like to thank you for voting in my RFA. Thanks also for expressing your trust in me, and I hope that I live up to your expectations. Don't forget, if you have any questions (or bits of advice), please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again, Spencer 02:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Are you able to help?

Hey there, and thanks again for your comment on my talk page about Stonewall riots. Some weeks ago, an anonymous edit was inserted into the Harvey Milk article regarding his grandfather's involvement in three Long Island, NY synagogues. We removed them because the information was dubiously cited. I just got off the phone with Harvey's nephew who said it was his brother who was trying to add the information. So I wanted verification that Morris Milk was involved in establishing three Long Island synagogues. I don't know where to look for that. I was hoping with your experience in the Jewish congregation articles you knew of some resources that could verify that. Milk's nephew will be sending me the names of the congregations, but that's all I have to go on for now. Let me know. Thanks! --Moni3 (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

After doing some searching, Morris Milk's NYT obituary says he started Woodmere Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere, NY. Harvey's biographer says he started Beth Israel. I, uh, feel like a dolt because I don't know if that's the same thing or not. --Moni3 (talk) 20:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey. I'll answer you here - I'm watching your page. Harvey's nephew says that Morris Milk was involved in organizing B'Nai Sholom in Rockville Centre, the Sons Of Israel in Woodmere, and Moses David, all on Long Island, but the Sons of David is no longer active. I wrote to the 5 Towns Jewish Times, hoping they might have print sources confirming this, and they gave me a rabbi's name and number to call. I'll do that Monday I suppose. I have access to a university library (that appears to have a significant store of Jewish resources), but since I've never worked on Jewish topics, I don't know the names of newspapers or publications to look for. Any ideas? --Moni3 (talk) 01:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hello Jayjg. Thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for Adminship, which was successful with 111 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. I have to say I am more than a little overwhelmed by this result and I greatly appreciate your trust in me. I will do my best to use the tools wisely. Thanks again. Regards.

Your question on WP:AE

Jayjg, I read your question in the thread about John, and will respond to it here if you don't mind, because I am hoping someone will archive that thread so it is no longer an albatross for John. I've been keeping an eye on the Mantanmoreland related pages since shortly before the arbcom case closed, and Naked short selling for some time before that. They're the only pages on my watchlist where AGF isn't the rule of thumb; given the history, the reason is obvious. During the intervening months, I have occasionally forwarded some usernames to either checkuser-L or directly to one or more checkusers for their review. I've done that sub rosa because I don't want to mark an editor unnecessarily with the taint of alleged sockpuppetry. Only once have I posted an on-wiki request for CU of an account related to these articles. I operated on the theory that anyone who had been editing the articles before the close of the arbcom case was very unlikely to be a sockpuppet, and John had indeed been working on them for some time. I saw no reason to consider him a sock of anyone, and was not aware that his current account had started off as an alternate account; even if I had been aware, I would have been more inclined to email him and ask quietly what the current situation was. I know there are other admins (and possibly even arbitrators) watching those pages, mainly because other admins have taken action on them from time to time, but I don't recall ever having an off-wiki discussion with anyone specifically about these pages. One or two editors, yes, but not John. Can we maybe let that thread close so that it doesn't continue to hang over his head? Risker (talk) 03:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

I appreciate your support in my RfA. Hope you had a nice High Holiday season, and best of luck with your massive project. Kindly, Lazulilasher (talk) 00:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Agudath Israel Etz Ahayem

Hello again. I have been in contact with the former president of the synagogue and we both agree the fact that a former president of agudath israel was inducted into the hall of fame is NOT relevant. I do not know who you are, but my family has been members of this temple for many, many years. Please try and respect the wishes of those in charge and leave the article be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.111.225.187 (talk) 02:30, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Circumcision

Re the 6th sentence here (beginning "You have..."): I've been asking Blackworm not to say things about other editors, so I feel that I must (hereby) give you the same message. Regards, ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 14:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
