Misplaced Pages

aharon42 new user.

Hi. I happened across your user page and saw that you write a tremendous number of articles on synagogues. I am a new user but I would be very happy to help you in any way that I could.. Just to note, I live in Atlanta. With respect. aharon42 (talk) 05:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I am really open to anything as long you just teach it to me and then just let me loose. I do like to collect research and data on all topics, it dovetails with my need to become a better researcher in general ( I am doing research right now with a doctor at Emory University. We are looking at EMS services and the potential of hybrid vehicles to lower fuel costs in emergency vehicles.).. I have not been vandalized 42 times, its a reference, like my cognomen, to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Is it ok that I put it there to be facetious? If not I'll delete it.aharon42 (talk) 01:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Semi-automated edits to modify citation formatting

I'm very pleased that I've figured out a way to download and upload wikitext so I can run it through a Perl script. It's not perfect: many of the special characters are preserved, but not all; if I avoid editing the interwikis I may be OK on most articles. (I check using "Show Changes" to make sure I'm not changing things I shouldn't.) See here, and example edits here and here. Let me know if you have any articles you'd like me to try modifying in this way, i.e. to put links from the Notes section to the References section. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

I suggest that any discussion about this take place on my talk page. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 16:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Temple Beth Israel (Eugene, Oregon)

Wow, very nice work! I've submitted it to be reassessed by WikiProject Oregon--I moved it up from Stub to Start, but I'm sure it's better than that. I'll tell my non-Wikipedian friends who go there to check it out! Katr67 (talk) 04:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Meleke, the building marerial formerly known as Jerusalem stone

Can you advise me on how to proceed here? I perceive an attempt to impose Arabic terminology in an English language encyclopedia.Elan26 (talk) 17:52, 11 September 2008 (UTC)Elan26

Hi there. I was penning my position on why both Meleke and Jerusalem stone deserve to be articles in their own right, when you moved the page. Would you mind moving it back so that other editors who oppose a move page can continue discussing with those who do to reach consensus? Thanks. Tiamut 01:22, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

It appears that a suggestion was made to move the page to Meleke in April, which was closed without consensus. Nevertheless, one editor moved it there, in an egregious violation of WP:COMMONNAME. I've moved the article back to its original name, per the guidelines, which is where it should stay, unless someone suddenly creates 100,000 webpages using the term "Meleke". Whether or not there should be a separate article on "Meleke" is another question. Jayjg 01:27, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Does WP:COMMONNAME trump WP:CONSENSUS? There's an ongoing discussion and my suggestion that there was place for both articles might have led/lead to a breakthrough. I would appreciate you moving the page back until a consensus on how to proceed between the parties involved in the discussion can be achieved. I think it sends the wrong message when an admin comes into a place where there is contention over the name and unilaterally decides what name is best for it, without regard for the views of other editors. But heh, that's just me. Tiamut 01:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

You have WP:CONSENSUS backwards. The original article name was "Jerusalem stone", and it was moved to "Meleke" without WP:CONSENSUS. I've restored it to the original name, pending a consensus forming. Please take further discussion to the article Talk: page. Jayjg 01:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Eastwood Center

Oh, you're welcome. I saw your name and I saw the article and I wanted to review it. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Today's featured article

Re: Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes: Read and enjoyed. Congratulations. ☺ Coppertwig (talk) 13:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that, as well. I read it and wondered if you'd had a hand in it. Looks like you did :) Excellent work and congratulations. Lazulilasher (talk) 23:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Pass of Congregation Beth Elohim

Hi Jay, sorry for the inexcusable delay. I got around to taking a photo of the Temple House this afternoon, and that is now on the article. Also, I tagged the old image with {{di-replaceable fair use}}. So, the article has passed. Congratulations! Regards, Lazulilasher (talk) 23:11, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes

was on the front page all through shabbos - how appropriate for a conservative temple! :) or, as they say in soviet russia, LOL. -- Y not? 02:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Blocking warning

Hi Jayjg , Thanks for the warning, I'd appreciate you letting me know, from where exactly did you get an idea that I've added purely sourced names to X-Americans? I've reverted blanking of some lists in my mind, exactly like about 4-5 other editors that were reverting blanking of some of those lists by a single editor that seems have some own ideas how the lists should look exactly. For now however I've already have chosen to stay out of those articles f Since things got really strange, suddenly the editor who has been removing names on selected X-americans lists added "Hungarina American" to Estonian-Americans list. That was too much for me and I've staid out of it ever since--Termer (talk) 03:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
