Recent AfD on Christianity and Judaism
Hi! I see that you were one of the participants in the recent AfD on the article Christianity and Judaism. That AfD recommended (in a snowball result) that the article be merged into Judeo-Christian. However, since the AfD concerns have been raised, most notably
- Per WP:ADJECTIVE and WP:MOSNAME, we use nouns and noun-phrases for article titles, not adjectives. So a general survey on the relationships between Christianity and Judaism (a topic this encyclopedia should certainly cover) should be called Christianity and Judaism, as per the articles Christianity and Islam, Islam and Judaism.
- The reason the article Judeo-Christian exists, as its own hatnote declares, is specifically to survey the history and use of that word-phrase -- which has its own controversy, and its own tale to tell. (See here where I've set things out in a bit more detail.) That story is a good fit for its own article, and will get completely lost if the contents of Christianity and Judaism get inappropriately dumped on top of it.
Having contacted the closing admin, his advice was to open a new discussion at Talk:Christianity and Judaism, advertise the discussion widely, and if a new consensus can be reached in that discussion , then per WP:CCC the new consensus should be followed, rather than the AfD decision, without the need for a DRV or a new AfD.
Concerns about the proposed merge have also been expressed by Slrubenstein (talk · contribs), LisaLiel (talk · contribs) and SkyWriter (talk · contribs).
This post is therefore to let you know that that discussion is underway, at Talk:Christianity and Judaism#Overly speedy deletion, with a view to perhaps setting aside the AfD decision.
Of course, some significant issues were raised in the AfD about the article in its present form, so the best way forward is a question that needs some thought. Please feel welcome to come and participate! Jheald (talk) 07:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
ISP template posted to my Talk page
Hi, you apparently just posted the {{ISP}} template to my Talk page.
Is this a warning of any sort? Is there anything that I should do in response to this? Or is it simply intended as notification for other Wikipedians? Thanks. -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 16:27, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. Sounds good to me. -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 16:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
User:EmRitter: Advertising for "Lifestyle Communities"
Since you're an admin, maybe you'd care to take a look at this --
(Originally posted to Talk page of admin User:Accounting4Taste on 28 Sept, but he/she has been on Wikibreak and may not have seen it.)
User:EmRitter posted to Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Business#Lifestyle_Communities:
"I am a Marketing Project Manager at "Lifestyle Communities". I have tried posting an article for Lifestyle Communities, but it has been deleted due to 'blatant advertising' and I believe conflict of interest."
EmRitter now has the content of deleted Lifestyle Communities in his/her user space at User:EmRitter/LC.
User:EmRitter apparently is not familiar with Misplaced Pages policies on advertising and proper use of user pages -- Per WP:UP#NOT: "What may I not have on my user page? ... Advertising or promotion of a business or organization unrelated to Misplaced Pages (such as purely commercial sites or referral links)" -- or is aware of them and disregarding them.
IMHO, obviously an "admin thing", if this is of any interest to you.
Thanks. -- 201.53.7.16 (talk) 16:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Another request
May I trouble you to double-check Misplaced Pages:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ace2690 please? -- Avi (talk) 23:28, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

rfcu - MarthaFiles
Hi,
you've just marked an rfcu as completed, Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/MarthaFiles. In a series of reqs for cu over the last month, for editors making identical edits, the findings have consistently been positive for Fatim1, and inconclusive for MarthaFiles. But I and others have continued to post them under MarthaFiles, to keep them together.
Today you concluded a checkuser with a finding that the user was not MarthaFiles, but you missed Fatim1. I left a note on the page (linked above). Could you have a look and complete the request? Thank you, Jd2718 (talk) 22:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
- Responded on CU page; thanks. -- Avi (talk) 02:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking. I'm surprised, but that's why we ask checkusers. Jd2718 (talk) 03:04, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Socks Blocks
Hi! I saw that you blocked User:Movie and Video Game Rating Board as a sockpuppet.
I had this account watchlisted since I saw it on new account patrol. FYI, that account also created the account User:Movie and Video Game Rating Classification shortly after it was made, so you probably should apply that account to the puppetmaster's category as well. Thanks! Arakunem 21:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Socks of Phuntsok2000

Just a question
Hi Avraham, I would like to ask you a question. Is there any possibility to review an article of biography before publishing? thanks for your attention.Writer28 (talk) 23:47, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Yes, you are wildly "misremembering," so please self-revert.
This edit is unacceptable, as there is no consensus for defining male circumcision as surgery in the lead sentence of the article. Please refer to this discussion, noting opposing comments from Revasser, Garycompugeek, Luna Santin, Tremello22, Gimmethoseshoes, and (to a lesser or unclear extent) Coppertwig, a majority of editors in that discussion. Also refer to this discussion, in which no consensus to add "surgical" was found.
Note that you also reverted another edit without stating a reason. Blackworm (talk) 21:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
