Hey Reb Yid, this picture is a bit small and does not do justice to the Rambam. Could you find a bigger version & upload it? JFW | T@lk 10:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Beautiful. JFW | T@lk 13:29, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tzadikv. I have left an answer on your CipherSaber question on this page Talk:CipherSaber. --David Göthberg 17:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I understand now. Thanks, I learned something! --Tzadik 18:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

curse of the bambino

Please put discussions about edits of an article on that article's Talk page, instead of personal Talk pages - that way every editor can see it and weigh in, rather than just the people involved. I revereted your edit because it seemed irrelevant - who cares what happened to Renteria the next year? What's that got to do with the curse? - 01:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, can you crop and re-upload the Weaver pic? Right now there's a lot of extra space at the top and on the sides, and it's too wide for the infobox.►Chris NelsonHolla! 03:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:JamieMoyerInningsPitched.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to

non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale
.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 03:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their
user talk page
.

I immediately responded to the above note, on Eeekster's talk page, explaining that even prior to the note I had put a copyright notice on the image and explained the rationale, which was "copyrighted work which is fair use because I am using only a small portion of the work". I had also included the full copyright information, from the very beginning. Nevertheless, by image was deleted with no explanation from Eeekster or anyone else.

Eeekster did reply to your post; the reply has since been archived here so you may have missed it. The reply was

That really isn't enough. You can't just say something is fair use, you have to explain why it is fair use. Please use the standard fair use template. Eeekster (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Eeekster hasn't edited since 11 December, so may be away. Your best bet would be to ask nicely at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion for another chance to add a fair use rationale. The standard template is Template:Non-free use rationale. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:53, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Congregation Tiferes Yisroel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claims to notability or independent sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be

deleted for any of several reasons
.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TM 02:16, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Switzerland

Hallo, and thanks for writing! I don't think that your reasoning applies here: all the states that you are mentioning are microstates, practically financially dependent from the states of which they are enclaves. Switzerland is a financial giant, and its currency, the swiss franc, is maybe more famous than the country itself. Anyway, you can restore your edit (I am in hurry now since i am in vacation): my experience in 10 years at wikipedia taught me that redundand or insignificant edits like this one are sooner or later removed by other users.

Information icon Hello, I'm Tgeorgescu. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Book of Isaiah seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

  • Please sign your posts on talk pages
    with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
  • "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is
    .
  • We do not publish original thought nor original research
    . We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
  • Reliable sources typically include
    : articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
  • Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view
    . Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.

Reformulated:

  • "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required
    .
  • Always cite a source for any new information
    . When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
  • we're not here to promote any ideology
    .
  • A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
    .
  • Reliable sources typically include
    : articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
  • Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view
    . Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
  • Material must be proportionate to what is found in the source cited
    . If a source makes a small claim and presents two larger counter claims, the material it supports should present one claim and two counter claims instead of presenting the one claim as extremely large while excluding or downplaying the counter claims.
  • the center of the universe
    .

Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children).
