A few minutes ago, I noticed that Yeshivat Ohr Somayach was changed to Yeshivas Ohr Somayach. My first reaction was to complain and revert it, using the Wikipedia rule concerning British spellings and American spellings of English words, that original editors can use what they want and later editors should not change it. Then I paused, and went to the Ohr Somayach website to find their official spelling, and I was unable to find either version! It seems that they call it Ohr Somayach Institutions throughout the entire website (perhaps to avoid alienating anyone). Okay, back to square one, to use the original spelling. So, then I checked the history, to see whether perhaps the original editor used Yeshivas, and some other person had improperly changed it to Yeshivat. It turns out that the phrase was originally entered in the modification of November 9 2005, by me! Therefore, I now exercise my prerogative as the original editor, who had originally entered it as "Yeshivat", and I allow the "Yeshivas" spelling to remain, being as that is how we pronounced it when I was in the Yerushalayim branch in '75-'80. --Keeves18:35, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
