Psalms

I see what you've done with the pages on individual Psalms, with the "Psalms" tag on the front. Does this create the banner on the side? Does every page with that tag go on the banner on each page? Bernard S. Jansen 00:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, you answered my question exactly. Bernard S. Jansen 10:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Fish and Chicken

Hi Epson291. I don't think the link to fish (food) should be added to the top of the fish article. There's already fish (disambiguation) where one can find fish(food). In addition, fish(food) is also listed in the "see also" part of the article. The same goes to the chicken article where chicken (food) is included in Chicken (disambiguation). Cheers. --Melanochromis 08:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. I think I see your point. Let's say I'm neutral at this point. But how about proposing this in the article discussion pages first? Fish has several regular editors. I'm sure Chicken has some too. If they agree with this, then it should be added to the articles. Cheers. --Melanochromis 14:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Horseshoe Falls (Canada) redirect

Hey! I hope I wasn't messing around with your page when you were in the middle of something. Basically when going to Horseshoe Falls and clicking on Horseshoe Falls (Canada), it just redirects you back to Horseshoe Falls. I 'fixed' that. Again, hopefully I didn't get in the way of something else you were trying to do. If I did, I apologize - just trying to fix what looks like a mistake. Chupper 03:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Everything Bagels

I think there is a sort of humour in the way "everything" bagels do not contain everything. This is not "POV" or opinion, but rather, a documentable fact that people have recognized and appreciated this strange irony. I had originally added a link to a website referencing this, but the link was automatically removed by an anti-spam bot. Perhaps "everything bagel" doesn't deserve its own paragraph, but I think that it's worth mentioning that an "everything" bagel does not contain everything--it may be self-evident from experience of eating a number of bagels from a number of different places; it is not self-evident from the name. I remember as a child being puzzled to find that an "everything bagel" didn't come close to containing everything offered by the bagel stand selling it. Cazort 14:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Jews

Hi! I don't think it would be necessary to write Russian, French, German etc. because that is only a minority of Jews worldwide. It does not say what ethnic language or the such. Jews today, who are more correctly a nation rather than an ethnic group, are unlike Russians, Germans, Pashtuns, Armenians etc. since most of them do not speak their ancestral languages. If this were perhaps 60 or 70 years ago, Yiddish would probably be written first, since it was then the language shared by most Jews. The language shared by most Jews today is overwhelmingly English and it is the prime language of the community, whether or not it has to do with immigration is irrelevant. (Another factor to consider is the large portion of Israeli and European Jews who speak English.) I will post a discussion on the talk page. --Shamir1 23:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but speaking English is incidental to their being Jewish. It is a logical accident. Anyways, Epson, I am outta here! I just totally disagree with Mr. Shamir1 Oemb1905 18:52, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Einsteins tallk page

First , I wish to ask for your e-mail as i have a long story to tell you ( I can put it here but it will take alot of space).Secondly , I think that refring to Einstein as an ethnic German is at least very unclear (and so its not a matter of a poll to decide wheter he would considered as an ethnic German since there will never a strong agreement in favor of this idea even if it will win the poll) and it seems offensive for many Jewish peopole ( I admit that it offense me) -and as there is a storng objrction from some users , in many different ways, to make the Jewishness of many great Jews clear - i think that regarding the Einstein article and regarding to the history of this article the infobox status quo should remain as it is now (i.e only Jewish) .I guess that you can agree with me about this that an ethnic origin of one is not something that should be decide by using a poll (but it can be debate even if its clear).Best wishes.--Gilisa 20:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Ethnicity poll

I am confused by your statement: “I am (and at the same time not) surprised on this artcle the number of people who don't want to reconize his Jewishness, and for another user to drag this to a poll once again (see the archives).” I have never heard of anyone anywhere who didn’t recognize Einstein’s Jewishness. And I am unaware of any previous poll on the subject. Please enlighten me.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have included “Jewish” in the poll; the answer is a no-brainer. I included it out of (imagined?) fairness someone who might think neither should be included (i.e. no Ethnicity field).

Happy Passover to you. --teb728 23:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Making charts

Unfortunately, no, I'm not an expert with charts. However, you might want to take a look at the "month names" chart in the Iranian calendar article, which I tweaked the other day. This chart might be particularly helpful for your current situation, since it includes right-to-left text. Richwales 16:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'm willing to at least try, if you can send me what you already have. Richwales 16:34, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, I finished creating a chart (table) for the "Honorifics in Judaism" article, in place of the graphic image. Hopefully you'll find it OK, and I hope I didn't make any mistakes. Richwales 02:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

JM Template

• Epson, I feel like the images at the top of the template are just adding unnecessary extra width to the panel. They don't really serve a purpose besides decoration, but take up a significant amount of room on the page. Also, when you reverted me edits you re-added redundant links that were already listed... -- Chabuk ^{[ T • C ]} 16:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Liviu Librescu

Hi, I see you have the same concern. Can you help find the exact info, please. We need to find more sourses, more exact. I remember his son Joe repeating in interview that Liviu Livrescu did not want to talk about that, perhaps it was a very unpleasant experience, and him being such altruist... It would be a shame if someone later would try to exploit the fact that in the first days the information might turn out to be somewhat incorrect. My personal opinion is that even if it turns out that he was not in a Nazi camp, only the fact that he survived a deportation and danger of death is sufficient to be called a full-right Holocaust survivor. :Dc76 20:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I had to check myself to make sure Yom HaShoah wasn't celebrated for two days in the Diasporah, after seeing the news article. But some Orthodox congregations don't even recognize it as a holiday. See [1] What an irony. I live only 35 miles from Tech and have so many friends on the faculty and in graduate school. We're all in shock.--Beth Wellington 20:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the wishes and the links. I'm wondering if we we should be talking about when Yom HaShoah was observed in the US, as the incident happened in Blacksburg? I've called my Rabbi and left a message and am expecting a call back. Since it's not an othodox holiday and some orthodox Jews don't celebrate it at all, the question becomes, since there was no conflict with the Shabbat in the U.S., whether the date was moved to coincide with observation in Israel. (See discussion with Pharos.)

At a dinner party last night in Roanoke, a friend who works at Tech with the wife of one of the professors shot and drove up from Montgomery County told me Dr. Granata was in his office on the third floor when he heard shots. He locked the students in his office and went down to investigate and never returned. I just looked it up and his story in the Washington Post is here: [2]. Another friend at dinner told me that her friend who works in a local hospital said someone in the building in the aftermath said that one of the eeriest things was the sound of thirty cell phones on the floor repeatedly ringing. --Beth Wellington 22:26, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Point taken about the use of the word celebrate as to connotation, although the denotation is "to observe." And one can celebrate the lives, as well as mourn the deaths of those who perished in the Holocaust. But while you call it silly, many U.S. Jews observed Yom HaShoah April 15, including the congregation in Blacksburg [3] and Roanoke [4], the Orthodox Union [5], the U.S. Holocaust Museum [6]. I've already mentioned the Conservative movement. A sampling of others Midwest Center for Holocaust Education [7], Temple Israel of Minneapolis (http://www.templeisrael.com/holidayslong.html], Office of the Governor New Jersey Commission on Holocaust, Henry Ricklis Holocaust Memorial Committee and Jewish Federation of Greater Middlesex County [8], Sinai Temple of Los Angeles [9], American Jewish Congress of Nova Scotia [10], Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Boston [11]. --Beth Wellington 04:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It's often easy to overlook one's assumptions. I think you've come up with an elegant fix. Now here's my next question. Dr. Lebrescu is listed in the article as having dual citizenship; is that accurate? I know that he had been in the U.S. for 20 years, but failed, in a cursory search, to find an account of U.S. citizenship. --Beth Wellington 07:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Prophets of the Tanakh template

Hi, now that you have created this template, are you going to add it to the rest of the articles that are linked within it? - Fayenatic london (talk) 21:57, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

I've centred the last line simply by leaving more of the initial columns blank. There's probably another way, but that works! I also added Daniel (my hero), who was inexplicably missing, by extending the line above. There are a few whom I can't place; is Mehseiah the same as Meshach/Mishael? I suggest you add entries for the missing ones in List of minor Biblical figures, then link the template straight to that heading using e.g. List_of_minor_Biblical_figures#Hanani. - Fayenatic london (talk) 18:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to answer your questions. I'm not aware of any fixed list of people recognised as Tanakh prophets in Christian tradition, so I suggest you keep Hebrew in the title. "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (1 Samuel 10:11. You don't have to answer that!) I suggest you change the heading to "Prophets of the Hebrew Bible", as "scriptures" seems to have a wider meaning e.g. here.

I agree that Michaiah (son of Imlah) and Micah are both prophets. At the moment they share an article, so it is fine to have two entries in the template pointing to the same article.

Thanks for the interesting explanation about Daniel. I think it would be useful to keep him in the template, otherwise Christian editors might keep trying to put him in. Can he go at one corner marked "See also: Daniel"? We could document the position on him both in the Daniel article, and with inline text (i.e. visible only when editing) in the template.

Again, I'm not aware of a definitive list of New Testament prophets, although you could refer to the work already done at List of Biblical prophets and Category:Christian_prophets. The gift of prophecy was widespread, but not everyone who prophesies necessarily bears the title of prophet. - I see you have just written the same about Tanakh times. I'm going to stop editing this reply and save it now!

You might also want to look at Category:Prophets_of_the_Hebrew_Bible which currently includes at least one not on your list, Ahijah HaShiloni. - Fayenatic london (talk) 19:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Ezra was in that category too, but I have changed that to Category:Major Tanakh figures.

I recommend "Hebrew scriptures" or "Hebrew Bible" rather than "Tanakh" in the heading, as most gentiles wouldn't know the word Tanakh. Fayenatic london (talk) 19:51, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The second format is best, I think. It's a Hebrew Bible template, so give priority to Jewish recognition rather than gender. Also: (i) move Ezekiel down to the next line, and (ii) take out the Category from the template. All the articles apart from Daniel should be manually added into Category:Prophets_of_the_Hebrew_Bible, which is a sub-category of Jewish prophets; then, the template should not double-up with a second category. Fayenatic london (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I still prefer the second layout, for the reason stated above, and because the left column looks better. Ah - you've removed it now. That's fine, too, unless any feminists object.

I'm pretty sure Daniel is the only "missing" Christian prophet. There are some in the list that we wouldn't get very excited about, e.g. Neriah, but if the Talmud has determined a list of who's a prophet, then stick with that. Fayenatic london (talk) 21:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

When replaceing redirect templates with {{Prophets of the Tanakh}} it would be helpful if you included a edit summary per Wikipedia policy

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you.

Specific reference is made to Moses where two redirect templates were replaced with the single actual template. I added a note inside the article code explaining the change to avoid someone reverting it. Dbiel ^(Talk) 19:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but no need for apologies, I had to be reminded about the importance of edit summaries myself by PaladinWhite which I will quote here for your bennefit as well:

As a side note, it's good to sign all your posts, including those on your own talk page, with four tildes (~~~~). I didn't the first few posts I made to my own talk page, but another editor pointed out to me that it was just as useful to someone reading your posts there as it would be anywhere else. Cheers! PaladinWhite 00:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

And thanks again for fixing the problem with the duplicate templates. Dbiel ^(Talk) 22:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

As regards your reply on my talk page, yes I would be interested in taking a look into the list of prophets. I want to do a bit of research first, but generally speaking the Jewish and Christian (pre-Christ) prophets are the same.

They are generally cateorized as Major or Minor prophets (but keeping in mind that this often simply refers to the list of the Books of the Bible). There are other classifications as well such as Judges, Kings and other persons of importantance. It may take me a bit of time, but I will post what I come up with at Template_talk:Prophets_of_the_Tanakh. Thank you for asking. Dbiel ^(Talk) 11:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Independence Hall

Just an FYI, when you moved the Independence Hall page to Independence Hall (United States), you left approx 200+ links that are now going to the disambiguation page. Also there was a peer-review done in August 2006 that had to be re-linked. It would have been easier to have left the original page as it was, rename the Israel independence hall, and place a disambiguation link at the top of the original US oriented page. Now it will be necessary to relink all the other pages that now go into the disambiguation page to the new US page you made. Next time for something with this much work to fix, please discuss.-- Marcsin | ^Talk 20:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Your "welcome" graphic

Unicode roman numerals

These characters have been deprecated from day one in unicode itself, and using them adds nothing visually to the table. Why did you re-add them? --Random832 02:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, you reverted two edits from before I'd removed them, and one edit from afterward. Please be more careful in the future. --Random832 03:23, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

The issue is that these were never "accepted" unicode characters, they're only there to enable round-trip conversion to east asian encodings that have them so you can put each roman numeral for 1-12 in a single character block. The 'proper' unicode versions of the roman numerals are in the U+0020-U+007F block, the others are compatibility characters only.

How about a compromise - expand the paragraph about these characters to include a listing of all of them, but take them out of the main table. --Random832 16:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Since the Lions are plural ("Gate of the Lions") in the Hebrew, the proper English spelling is Lions' Gate, as borne out by the article on same (Lions' Gate).

Liz Claiborne

I noticed you moved the Liz Claiborne Inc. page to Liz Claiborne and the Liz Claiborne page to Liz Claiborne (fashion designer). I don't see why this was necessary. I think it would help in the future if you discussed the issue on either talk page before moving any pages. Did you object to the title of Liz Claiborne Inc. for that article? I see there are people confused by the current title, and are adding information about the woman, not the company. And you added lizclaiborne.com as the hompeage in the infobox, but that's not the homepage of the company. You assume someone searching for "Liz Claiborne" on Wikipedia wants to know about the company and not the person? There are many Wikipedia articles with "Inc." in the title, such as Nike, Inc., Turbine, Inc., Gateway, Inc., Amiga, Inc., etc. You can read WP:RM for more about moving pages. WP:NAME says the legal status of a company (Inc. in this case) is not normally included in the title, but when disambiguation is needed (like in this case), legal status can be used to disambiguate, like on Nike, Inc.. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) says that there should be no comma before the legal status unless specified in company literature. Liz Claiborne Inc. is the title on lizclaiborneinc.com and I think that title was just fine for the page and I feel your edits were made in haste. --Pixelface 05:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I suppose we don't need a disambiguation page, and I see your point that the brand is probably more notable now. But I noticed the edit history on Liz Claiborne is missing my edits on Liz Claiborne Inc.. It looks like Liz Claiborne was moved correctly to Liz Claiborne (fashion designer) but Liz Claiborne Inc. was copy pasted to Liz Claiborne and the edit history was lost.

At Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen I've requested an admin merge in my edit histories.

WP:MOVE has some helpful information about the topic.

I also noticed that over 78 pages link to Liz Claiborne and I think most of those wikilinks now need to be changed to Liz Claiborne (fashion designer). In the future I would appreciate a discussion of any potential page moves on an article's talk page. Thank you for your message. --Pixelface 12:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I take that back. It looks like only 12 pages link to the person. I'll change those wikilinks. I think it was a good move afterall. Remember to use the Move tool though :) --Pixelface 12:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

If you have a chance, could you take a look at the recent edits by Rambamfan in Nevi'im and Books of Kings the following link http://www.tanakhpersonalities.org/showappendix.php?num=4 does not seem to be to belong in the English version of Wikipedia and I did delete a similar one from the See also section of Aaron It is in a more fitting section in the other two articles but with all name being written only in Hebrew, the link has no value for most English speaking readers. I respect your contributions to the Jewish related articles and feel that you can be more objective on the subject than I can. Thank you. Dbiel ^(Talk) 09:46, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply on my talk page. The items that you pointed out, all names in Hebrew and the fact the only edits by this user were to include links to this one Hebrew/English web site were the key reason for asking for your assistance. I like your idea of taging the link with the "(Hebrew/English)". I just was not confortable deleting the links if others might find them helpful. But on the other hand, it was starting to look like an attempt to advertise a particular web site. Thank you again for your reply. Dbiel ^(Talk) 19:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Sheqel symbol

Hi Epson291! I converted the image to an SVG because that is the preferred format for "images" that contain only text. Using an SVG, however, ensures that the text displays correctly regardless of which fonts the user has installed. The caption on the image said that "the symbols are not necessarily smaller than the numbers, this was done for stylistic reasons," so I assumed that, like the dollar sign and Euro sign, the sheqel symbol would be of the same height as the numerals. Can you tell me how the symbol should be used? Alternately, you can just upload an SVG file yourself, if you have an appropriate editor (like Inkscape). Cheers, bdesham ★ 23:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, for "₪4" both characters have the same height in my browser… I guess I don't quite know how it's supposed to appear. Also, I just used the ₪ symbol from the Lucida Grande font, I didn't draw it myself; maybe there was a different font I should have used? Anyway, let me know if you need any assistance with Inkscape! :-) Cheers, bdesham ★ 00:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

By default, when you create a text object in Inkscape, it merely embeds the text, with a mention of which font to use. However, the image doesn't display correctly if the user doesn't have that particular font installed. To fix this, select all of the text objects in the picture and go to Path > Object to Path. This will convert each letter into a "path", so you won't be able to edit the text anymore, but you will ensure that it shows up the same for everyone. Hope this helps! bdesham ★ 03:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, it's me again :-) I have moved Image:Sheqel signs.svg to the Wikimedia Commons; its page is available here. Unless you have objections, I'll remove the version on Wikipedia right away. --bdesham ★ 21:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with the changes you made to Menorah. The article should ONLY be about the temple use and only mention hannucha as relevant to the rededication. By making the article about both you are creating a large repeat of data. Jon513 (talk) 00:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Concerning diacritics

Hi, could you take a look here? Dan Pelleg (talk) 06:57, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

To continue on Dan Pelleg's comment, I would like to add that we really don't appreciate you coming and changing half the WP:HE page, which is a result of nearly 3 years of discussion, any every little detail there has a reason unless stated otherwise (including the underline). If you don't like something, bring it up on the talk page, and if it hasn't discussed before (doubtful), the other editors will be more than happy to discuss the issue(s) with you and reach proper consensus.

HaDag Nahash

The band is spelled Nahash in English.[12] FYI. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 19:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, I did a 'google test', which overwhelmingly favours spelling it with a c, but I would use the offical press release as well. Epson291 (talk) 06:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I also did the Google test, it appears to be something like 80k vs. 50k hits. Although this does assert that Nachash is the more common spelling, a 60% difference isn't always clearly indicative. Usually WP:COMMONNAME is exercised when there's an overwhelming difference, something like 500%. However, no harm done. Keep up the word you're doing for Wikipedia!

Hebrew/Yiddish Babel

Hi Epson, I was just wondering if there was any consensus reached regarding the change of the Yiddish and Hebrew babels to right-to-left, because IMHO it makes everything horribly inconsistent. Thanks. Keyed In (talk) 06:38, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Its based on Hebrew Wikipedia, (see ex. here), and the idea the websites in Hebrew reverse everything. Regards Epson291 (talk) 06:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

But obviously, since the Hebrew wiki is right-to-left, all userboxes will also be that way. I was wondering about the English wiki, and if anybody else prefers it that way. Userboxes on the English wiki should not primarily take Hebrew browsers into account. It just seems so much more consistent to have it the old way. Cheers Keyed In (talk) 06:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but it makes it more odd to read. I'm not sure if anyone else prefers it that way, no one has commented yet (till you). Epson291 (talk) 06:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again! Apparently some other users agreed with me, and all your edits to the Hebrew babels were undone. I am therefore going to do the same to the Yiddish ones. Cheers. Keyed In (talk) 20:54, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hebrew phonology

I have restored the earlier consonant chart at Hebrew phonology. In addition to my discussion with its creator at my talk page, see WP:PHON where one of the stated goals is to cover phonology information consistently. The "transcription" system was presented on the table as if it were IPA, which it is not, though it might be a good idea to present the transcription in the table in the "regional and historical variation" section. I'll leave this task to you since I can't read the Hebrew of the pdf and might mess it up. We also might (although this isn't necessary) want to make a separate consonant chart that indicates the phonological information for the older form of Hebrew upon which the orthography is based. I hope I didn't remove anything substantive unrelated to my opposition to the orthography in the table, and if I did, don't be afraid to assume that I simply accidently removed it. — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 02:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

RFC: Removal of magic methods - what next? More input please!

Hi! As someone who has taken part in the RFC in Project Magic, I thought you ought to be aware that it looks like a consensus is being reached, and it is probably now just a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's.

Re: Hebrew writing

Hi Epson! I briefly read the article, and could not find any glaring issues except one (the article's name, will talk about that) and minor WP:HE and WP:MOS problems, some of which I have fixed (to that end, if I have time and energy, I'll try to get niqqud moved to nikud). I think that the problem of red links for ktiv haser and ktiv menukad could be solved by expanding and renaming the ktiv maleh, because the 3 writing 'systems' are actually fairly similar and probably shouldn't have their own articles.

About the article's name: I think that the current name implies orthography, while the article actually talks about writing systems. Not sure what name it should have, but this should be mulled over. Maybe a Hebrew writing methods which would incorporate the current article, as well as ktiv haser, maleh and menukad.

On an unrelated note, I am really angry at Epson (the company)! I bought a scanner from them about 6 years ago and now they tell me that there are no x64 drivers for it and won't be in the future, so I either have to install x86 (not doing it, Vista x64 cost more than the scanner), or buy a new scanner. This is most annoying! (end of rant).

paul newman

Hi Epson, I see you have restored the Judaism category and I believe that you are mistaken. A person with a Jewish father and a Christian mother is not a Jew, no matter how you cut it. That he identifies as Jewish is very nice, and personally, I have no problem with that, but this is an encyclopedia, and facts are facts. To say that he is a "Jewish actor" is perpetuating a falsehood. He is "half-Jewish" - but according to the rabbis, who make these decisions (perhaps unfortunately), it is the wrong half.--Gilabrand (talk) 08:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Magic templates

All the articles that are transcluding the old template names will have redlinks if you simply delete the templates. By contrast a redirect to the magic and illusion template makes all the article with the old templates simply show the new template. Maybe, once all the articles have been dabbed, the templates should be deleted, but even then the redirects are often useful. By the way, when you add a deletion template to a template page, enclose it in <noinclude></noinclude> tags so every article transcluding the template does not show up in CAT:CSD, but just the template page.

Hi, this is one source supporting the fact that the Nariman House was also residential.

Aluf

As it happens, I hadn't looked at WP:HE. Until such time as WP:HE says differently, it doesn't really matter what my source is/was, or whether I think I can justify it or not, does it. To simplify any further discussion, let's just agree that "Alúf" is wrong.
Regarding the use of foreign characters, (for example "ç" in "garçon"), it isn't relevant that "ç" "is not even a letter in English".
Your third point is/was that "I'm not sure what you are talking about" - To quote Mickey Blue Eyes, "fugedaboudit", it's not important.

List of iPhone models

Hey, thanks for going ahead and getting that put up. I have a couple of small points I wanted to run past you. First, I think it is prudent to include both iPhone and iPod Touch models. The tables that you copied from my sandbox include the Touch; I think we can include them under in the table under a different subheading (===iPod touch===). The other issue is the name. A list implies a little bit of detail about a lot of items, such as List of Macintosh models grouped by CPU type. More detailed examinations of only a few models are more properly called comparisons, such as Comparison of Macintosh models. Such, I suggest the page be moved to Comparison of iPhone and iPod Touch models. Other than that, I'm going to be doing some pretty heavy copyediting, as my sandbox version wasn't quite ready, but if you disagree with anything just let me know, okay?--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 13:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I did my research and found that, according to WP:LISTNAME, "the name or title List of _ _ is still preferable to Table of _ _ or Comparison of _ _." So that makes List of iPhone and iPod Touch models. I think we need to be consistent in including the Touch. Either it shows up in the article title, the table, and the yes/no tables, are not at all. I prefer to include it but I don't really care as long as its consistent.--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 14:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Why have you renamed LGBT-affirming churches to LGBT-affirming denominations without any discussion? The only links to Jewish organisations were under 'see also'. Mish (talk) 13:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Yahrzeit

Hi, I think the Yiddish spelling of Yahrzeit candle belongs before the Hebrew in this article, no? Yahrzeit is, afterall, a Yiddish word. -shirulashem^(talk) 20:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at the AfD. I have no stake in which way it closes but I thought it would be a good idea for editors with jewish background weigh in on the afd. Joe407 (talk) 07:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Paleo-Hebrew.PNG

Hey there Epson, could you tell me from what source you uploaded File:Paleo-Hebrew.PNG? Specifically, did you scan it or copy it by hand? Dan ☺ 22:54, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

How 'bout it, Epson? Dan ☺ 17:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Epson, I'd really appreciate your response, Dan ☺ 07:17, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Epson! Partial images derived from this file are being used in several wikis as authentic archaeological specimens, often in comparison with samples of the Phoenician alphabet. If you scanned the file from an authentic archaeological source then there's no problem, but please specify this source. If, on the other hand, it was hand copied, then incidental graphic details might misleadingly be taken to be cardinally distinguishing characteristics. Including these files in Wikipedia articles also implies archaeological authenticity, which, if they were indeed hand copied, is false. In this case I would recommend deleting the file and it's derivatives and replacing them with a verifiable, genuine archaeological source. Dan ☺ 22:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

So I assume you agree with me that the file and it's derivatives be deleted and hopefully replaced by a verifiable, genuine archaeological source. Dan ☺ 00:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I must of missed this. It is scanned, but it was over three years ago and I do not remember from where. Hope it helpsEpson291 (talk) 14:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Kubutz, Shuruk and Holam

Hi,

I made a lot of changes to Kubutz and Holam. You're welcome to take a look.

Take a look also at Talk:Kubutz.

Thanks in advance for any constructive - and thanks a lot for starting the articles! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 22:12, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't really have time to go over it at the moment, but it looks good the work you've put into it. You have certainly done a lot more then I could have. I have no real comment/strong opinion on the rename, I understand your point, feel free to take that as agreement with you. - Epson291 (talk) 10:02, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! What interests me the most is whether you actually understand anything of what i wrote there. I really want that these pages will be understandable to anybody who wants to learn Hebrew. If there's anything i can do to make them more readable, please let me know. (Please reply here. It will be easier for me to follow the conversation if it stays on one page. Thanks in advance.) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:SHOPPERS former logos.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

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 Wikipedia (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 "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Jewish Map Tips

[[14]]

I want to add this map as an image to articles such as History of Jews in England and Religon in London. Information about the map itself can be found on the page. I would attempt it myself, however whenever I have uploaded a photo, be it one from the internet or one I've taken myself, I've never done it right, and wikipedia has always ended up removing it. Please could you upload the photo to wikicommons for me, it would be a great great help. Thank you. Colt .55 (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Rick Sanchez

The use of verbatim, unattributed quotations [15] ("Dominick suggested that Stewart, who is Jewish, is also a minority.", from [16]) in articles is considered plagiarism. Whenever you incorporate the exact text of a source into an article, please provide appropriate attribution in the form of quotation marks, <blockquote>, or similar. Also, Wikipedia style guidelines discourage the excessive use of quotations, even when correctly attributed. Thank you. Peter Karlsen (talk) 07:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
