I am very curious. Tell me more about the synagogue. I'd like to help you write it up.Historicist (talk) 02:11, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will get a chance to look at this on Thursday. And I will do what I can. ````Historicist

• Now I see. It's the St. Thomas synagouge. Yes, one article is best. And it is usual to put the article under the name most people will be searching for it under. Lots of notalbe synagogues are known by monikers like Eldridge Street Synagogue, even though they have proper Hebrew names.Historicist 14:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Since I see you've asked for input on your concerns about

He hasn't proposed the deletion of the article. He's simply tagged it for notability, which means that it needs reliable independent sources to verify notability. This is true, even if there are other articles that also do not have them. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. I'm always glad to see people working on articles about synagogues. the thing is, under Wikipedia rules, a congregation has to be notable to have an article. This means that it has to be discussed in articles in newspapers and magazines, or in books. So, if you want this article to stay p, you will need to find such articles and add them to the page, footnoting the source as I footnoted the material on your rescued Torah Scroll. Speaking of which, perhaps a local newspaper wrote it up when you got it? Or perhaps some online Jewish website describes the arrival of the rescued Torah? Or perhaps the congregation's tikkun Olam activities have been written up somewhere. Those are the kinds of news stories that will have to be added, or, sooner or later, an editor will coe along and remove the article for non-notability. I hope you do work on it. Let me know if I can help.Historicist 14:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

You're on the right track. The prose needs to be rather coldly factual, like an encyclopedia. Take a look at the new opening paragraph. And the references need to be at the end of sentences. Take a look at what I did with the article you cited about the food bank. You write a simple, factual sentence, followed with a footnote (look how I did this in the article). the footnote , of course, has to support the sentence you write.NawlinWiki (talk) 23:07, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
