Begin

Regarding your comments to my changes on the Menachem Begin page: How is it controversial to describe the Irgun as a terrorist group? What better word describes a group that admittedly kidnaps and murders officials, and blows up hotels to advance their political agenda? Pleas let me know. Thanks. Canada5150 16:57, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

What is in dispute? The Irgun's kindappings, hangings, or bombings? I don't believe any of it is disputed. The fact that it was done to create the state of Israel is not disputed either. That is terrorism by an objective definition. How can someone objectively disagree? To say that you can't refer to the Irgun as a terrorist group, but can include a quote that refers to them as a terrorist group is arbitrary. Is the same treatment afforded Arafat and the PLO?

Your vandalism

• Stop to be engaged in vandalism!

Please clarify; if a family tree of his descendants does not belong in the article—where does it belong? --Redaktor 20:04, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Rockapella.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rockapella.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ++aviper2k7++ 22:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Chabad

Sorry, but I will not edit the Chabad article, because I only edit in areas where I had a better level of expertise. Since I am not frum, I do not think that I have level of knowledge editing that article needs. Kwork 16:23, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:MaxQphoto.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MaxQphoto.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:39, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

World Trade Center Pictures

Theres no reason to keep removing the pictures off the page. Some of us would like to show the world our pictures. They are all allowed and our are own pictures. You are the only one bugged by them. Please dont remove them.

You might like boring pictureless articles but many of us dont. Using pictures makes the article much more exciting.

Removing them would just cause all our pictures to become orphaned as there is NO other place to put them.

The public who looks at wikipedia, I'm sure, would like to see some pictures in their articles. I know I do. The public, dosnt know what the Misplaced Pages Commons is, and only people who actually edit Misplaced Pages go there. Thats really not fair.

Ok I removed those pics, but you still think there are too many? The pictures left are actually for the sub-articles. No need to remove them! Compare it to articles like the Empire State Building and the Sears Tower. The World Trade Center should actually have more. I think we should raise this up in the WTC page Discussion so we can find something we all agree on. Pag293 7/21/07

John Waters

It's great you found a better image of John Waters, but in the future on articles that are thread-bare with free media like the Waters article, why not move the previously-existing image, especially if it's of decent quality (such as the Waters photo, which juxtaposes him "now" and "then") to another part of the page instead of removing it entirely? --David Shankbone 14:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Either by your definition or mine, the photograph should have been included since it at least shows a young Waters. --David Shankbone 17:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

"I would say that it doesn't belong in the article" But then you would say that, wouldn't you? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 19:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Frum

The reason I removed Category:Jewish culture is because Frum is about religious aspects of Judaism rather than being about Jewish culture. At least, that's how it looks to me. If you check out Category:Jewish culture and compare Frum with the articles in that category, I think you will see what I'm talking about. Cgingold 13:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Carlos Slim Helú resume?

Hello Dland. I saw your name fixing up Helú's page. Have you been able to find a resume for this man? He is surely famous enough. A brief search of the Telmex site found only some annual reports that didn't say much. Nothing about his personal history. Perhaps he has a blog (just kidding...) EdJohnston 20:43, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Spellcheck

Hi Dland. I'm not exactly sure who to make this suggestion to, but why don't wikipedia searches have spellcheck like google (and nearly every other internet service) does? Meaning, if i accidentally search hocckey instead of hockey, it should have one of those "did you mean______"? Just wondering...Slapshot01j 21:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:YU Roshei Yeshiva

Done. I used a different navigation box template which has tnavbar in it. --Eliyak T·C 14:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Stop making detrimental changes to good pages

The page for Rabbi Avishai David was fine and you decided to remove things for no good reason. In fact, the part about Zionism that was there before was there to give readers an idea of where Rabbi David stands Hashkafically...Your change ruined that!

Stop with the vandalism

Stop with the vandalism already

Rabbi Avishai David

Do you even know Rabbi David? Probably not. I know him well. So don't challenge my input on the article about him.

So what should we do

If you don't like the format of the article about Rabbi Avishai David, then how do you suggest we portray the fact that while Rabbi David is a passionate zionist, he is still involved in the haredi world and has relationships with haredi gedolim?

Deletion of Sonny and Carly Corinthos article

• Hello, DLand, I wanted/want to know why you nominated the the Sonny and Carly Corinthos article for deletion after I clearly put a note within my edit summary of that article and on that article's talk page that I was going to re-write it soon?

Just because two characters already have their own articles on Misplaced Pages doesn't make an article about the two characters as a couple on Misplaced Pages unnecessary, especially when their separate articles should focus more so on aspects of their lives, distinct from their life as part of a couple, and an article on them as part of a couple should focus on that couple, that couple's creation, details on that couple's storyline that wouldn't be known otherwise, except from reading their article, and that couple's impact on the real-world, all of which I could have done to the Sonny and Carly Corinthos article. I understand your reason for seeing that article as junk as it was, but why didn't you wait until I fixed it up, which would have been soon, and then made a determination on whether it really needed to be deleted or not? I mean, you didn't even alert me to the fact that you had nominated it for deletion. Of course, I'm certainly not the creator or a main contributor of what was that article, but letting me know that you had nominated it for deletion would have been appreciated by me, of course. There are several soap opera couple articles on Misplaced Pages that I have to fix up, and I'm the only one fixing up these soap opera couple articles, so it's going to take time, but I know that I can format each and every one to be encyclopedic. Anyway, answer me when you can on this. I'm not too angry over the deletion of the Sonny and Carly Corinthos article. It's just that an alert to its deletion debate would have been a good thing in making me hurry up even faster to significantly improving it. Flyer22 11:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Supercouples

I agree completely that most of them need to be deleted. They are for the most part nothing but a recap of the plotline involving the couple in violation of WP:PLOT. Otto4711 23:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

• And when they (the ones that are nothing but plot summary) are fixed up, they won't violate Misplaced Pages's policy that an article on fiction should not just be plot. Talk with you later, DLand. Flyer22 18:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
  • DLand, I fixed up the Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter supercouple article. And, yes, their Cultural impact section has more than just so-called trivial mentions. They've had substantial coverage from notable press, as well as from authors, and their Background section gives a little insight into their creation, and even a little detail on their impact on viewers as well. I would have removed their Family and relationships sections from their article, if they had their own individual articles, as that would have most likely been in their own articles also, but they don't have their own individual articles here at Misplaced Pages. As for the other notable soap opera couple articles and supercouple articles on Misplaced Pages that are in violation of Misplaced Pages policy at this time, as I've stated before, it's going to take me a while (not one week or two weeks) to fix up all of these soap opera notable couple articles and supercouple articles, and I have my own matters to attend to here at Misplaced Pages as well, such as improving the Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone article to Featured (FA) status.

I did state to you that if I came across a soap opera couple article that I couldn't provide cultural impact on, I woud relay that couple article to you. Well, even though I feel like a traitor of some sort in doing this, though I'm not familiar with this couple anyway, here is the Stefan and Laura couple article. I didn't even know that this article existed, so, of course, they are not in the Supercouple article. Obviously, I stumbled onto their article. Anyway, see you around. Flyer22 01:43, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Haredi Judaism

Hi Dland! I've semi-protected the article to permit a cooling-off period. While the encyclopedia needn't be a soapbox for everyone's personal blog and webzine, it is probably to be expected that eventually Misplaced Pages articles on Orthodox Judaism will contain properly-sourced criticisms from the point of view of the left of contemporary society. Best, --Shirahadasha 20:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Please carefully examine http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Haredi_Judaism&action=history . Your revert was totally unwarranted and the edit from the anonymous IP was perfectly fine. It was simply a user who noticed the 'semi-protected' template and saw that he could edit the page - so he removed the template, since it wasn't semi-protected at all. You should really apologize to the anonymous IP user for mistaking him to be a vandal. --Eidah 09:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism connected to possibly libelous content at Fi:Misplaced Pages (admin)

Dear Dland,

I tried to tranlate an article to Finnish about a Jewish person who once lived in Finland and who started Spacepol (see article) and the s... hit the fan. I wrote about him and his family in some articles and recieved criticism about sources (deserved), but then the discussion and delation discussions turned to outright libel (alluding to credential fraud, or the he has written everything on the internet about himself and that he has paid to get into biographies, etc.) against the subject of my article, which was never my intention. My problem as that now they are attempting to catorize the English article as spam and I might be able to source it well in the future. Is there any way to get it protected? I am trying to reverse the damage, so I don't end up getting sued myself!

The only article on en:wikipedia is spacepol, but I have sources for the biography. I don't know if the person wants or doesn't want to be in Misplaced Pages, though. But since he is in many biography books anyone can read, I assume it is ok here too.

Thanks! ~~hAnS~~

Unclean Animals =

if you say the edition is fact, how can it be pov? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tescoid (talk • contribs) 11:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

it is important to have a 'disclaimer' in the introduction to this article so it is made clear from the start that no scientific claims are being made. if you are reading it as delegitimising then this is your inference, and not the fault of the statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tescoid (talk • contribs) 13:27, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Joe's Apartment.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Joe's Apartment.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:35, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Shraga Hager

Hi, there is currently a discussion about the notability of Rabbi Shraga Hager your insight on this would greatly be appreciated. Have a beautiful day--יודל 13:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Warning

If you make any further effort to disrupt Number 57's RfA then you will be blocked. I am specifically referring to you canvassing other users to go and oppose him. Ryan Postlethwaite 14:47, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I strongly condem your actions to canvass votes against a particular candidate. Any further disruption to the RFA will result in a block. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I would also suggest you stop forthwith. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Flatbush

Dland, user Zevwil revamped the Yeshivah of Flatbush page. Perhaps you would like to review some of his edits?Slapshot01j 00:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Dland, I'm still new to WP, and I'm not clear on exactly how things work. Need I put up any edit i consider necessary or worthwhile on the discussion page first, hoping people will respond? (Would you mind telling me if doing rewrites of whole sections for organization and style and such is a good idea? I did a bunch on Flatbush.) Thanks, and shanah tovah. :) ZevWil 03:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Vocal_Spectrum.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vocal_Spectrum.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 17:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I apologize

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Misplaced Pages under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:

Adam Bishop, Amarkov, Antandrus, AntiVandalBot, Bdj (Badlydrawnjeff), Conk 9, CanbekEsen, DLand, Downwards, Eagle 101, Ericbronder, Gogo Dodo, High on a tree, Hut 8.5, Interiot, Jayjg, Jrwallac, Kingboyk, Kuru, Noclip, Patrick Berry, PFHLai, PhantomS, Pollinator, Rachack, Ranma9617, Rx StrangeLove, SlimVirgin, Tfrogner, TommyBoy, Vary, Woohookitty, Zzuuzz, and some anonymous IPs. (I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Misplaced Pages against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Best regards, Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Judaism Newsletter

The Judaism Newsletter Issue II -- Tammuz, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (/to do) Now with 200% more Jewishness! Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique. A Special Dispatch Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project. There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views to weigh in. Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved. To Do The Simple English Misplaced Pages is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list) WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Misplaced Pages are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter. WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

The Judaism Newsletter Issue III -- Av, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (/to do) "Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Rav Rosensweig.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rav Rosensweig.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Replaceable fair use File:Dr. Grach.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Dr. Grach.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξ 08:50, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Suri Cruise (2nd nomination)

Hello. You previously voted in the 2006 AfD for Suri Cruise. At the time, Suri was less than 10 days old, and the ultimate verdict was to turn the article into a redirect to her mother's page.

Since then, Suri has become much more notable in her own right as a toddler fashion icon, with over 13 million hits on google image search. After getting an administrator to lift the protection on the redirect, I recently restored the article as a stub, but an editor who believes that "6 year olds are not inherently notable" has again requested deletion.

If it's not too much trouble, I'd appreciate your making your opinion known at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Suri Cruise (2nd nomination) Warren Dew (talk) 07:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
