Sh'lama Mar Gavriel! Use your Wikipedia homepage to let everyone know of your own website.--Tinokshenishbeh 00:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not going to pretend to know anything about Judaism or the french military worth talking about, but why on Earth is this person notable? Do they meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines? Please reply on my talk page. J Milburn 20:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has discussed the matter with me. J Milburn 21:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to fill the article out to "wikify" it--make links to other articles that will expand your parenthetical comments, and add appropriate categories (as I did with his death and birth). M. Peyrere's notability is not that strong, but If you arrange to link his page from a few other articles in wikipedia, that will strengthen the case for keeping the page. --Walter Görlitz 21:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ephraim Kanarfogel, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.yu.edu/stern/index_sub.asp?264. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 22:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Londres, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you.

This is a template message. Just because you're my friend, doesn't spare you the traditional trout whacking that site moderators dish out for mildly bad behavior. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Ketuba of yom vayosha, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chakira (talk) 16:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article Joseph Yahalom has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

The Tanakh photo was taken at a visiting exhibit, displayed at the International Museum of Cultures in Dallas, TX. When the exhibit was packed up and removed, I heard they were working on a permanent location. It was an awesome privilege, and a great photo op.Pete unseth (talk) 02:18, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You were alert to notice that the scrolls were from different eras. I was told that the collector had a hard time finding copies of certain books on the market so he had to actually commission a scribe to produce a copy of Psalms. The display was laid out in the traditional Jewish order, beginning with the Torah near the camera, and then following in order to the very end, with Chronicles visible at the upper left. A once in a lifetime photo-op.Pete unseth (talk) 11:55, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

From looking at your contribution history, I assume you're referring to Category:Piyyut. If you want to create the category, it actually works very similarly to creating a new article — follow the red link I just created for you, add category declarations in the [[Category:category name]] format for the appropriate parent categories that already exist, and then hit save. And once the category's been created, then you can start adding it as a new category declaration on the relevant articles.

I'd actually just do it for you if I knew enough about the topic to know what the appropriate parent categories are, but since I'm not familiar with it I'll have to defer to you — but I'd be happy to help if you need any further assistance or something goes wrong. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 23:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Migdal Or (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required, per WP:ONEOTHER, but I just added a hatnote on the primary topic containing the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
