File source problem with File:Husiatyn Reb Yitzchok.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Husiatyn Reb Yitzchok.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 01:17, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Isaac Chelo

Hi, both you and I have at times cited the itinerary of R' Isaac Chelo in different articles. I just stumbled across a footnote on page 227 of Prawer's "The History of Jews in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem":

Students of itineraries always remember the very famous and clever forgery of a mid-19th-cent. scholar of repute, E. Carmoly, who invented the itinerary of one Isaac Chelo. This itinerary is unfortunately still being quoted by unwary scholars, even though the forgery was proved almost 50 years ago.

This is Isaac Hilo, an orphan. Yoel Elitsur in Ancient place names in the Holy Land, p183, gives at least 3 references in support of the forgery theory, all in Hebrew. It seems that mentions of Chelo will need to be qualified or deleted. Zerotalk 06:59, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Qadam al-Mahdi shrine.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Qadam al-Mahdi shrine.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:51, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Immanuel Jakobovits.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Immanuel Jakobovits.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:00, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Do you think she was ever grateful the Nazis for saving her life? As a matter of fact, she was not." and this, "some (Zionists) generally preferred, understandably, that all anti-Zionists perish in the gas chambers."

Proposed deletion of Palestinian wine

The article Palestinian wine has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article reads like an essay and full of WP:SYNTH. Author of article has extreme COI against the State of Israel and wishes to de-legitimize it at all costs. This article is a POVFORK and should be promptly deleted.

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.

Placing notes in the Western Wall

Hi, thanks for your work on this article. Why is the ref to the cherem of Rabbeinu Gershom in connection with reading notes stuck in the Kotel "bizarre"? Yoninah (talk) 17:19, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. First and foremost: WP:COATRACK. Which source links the cherem to the wall notes? Chesdovi (talk) 17:33, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
The source that you deleted. Yoninah (talk) 17:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
I see. Secondly. The extent of the mail ban is very much debated. I for one cannot fathom why anonymous notes are to be included in this very specific ban which was based on knowing the writers personal identity. This p'sak ("it is halakhically forbidden") has been issued by a singular non-notable rabbi (who is Shammai Kehas Gross?) and remains his own POV, yet the article states it as if the decision has been universally accepted. (Remember, we must adhere to WP:UNDUE within the article.) Chesdovi (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Jewish boycott of the Western Wall for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jewish boycott of the Western Wall is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jewish boycott of the Western Wall until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

POV Pushing

You really need to stop with your anti-Zionist POV pushing. While Liebowitz might have been a great professor, he's certainly not notable enough to warrant a huge paragraph to push your POV. Same with Meah Shearim. It's part of Israel proper, if the PLO claims it as their own, goodie for them, but that doesn't go in the lead. You need to tame it or find another area to edit. If you want to right that some random professor doesn't like prayer at the wall, then do so but a sentence or two, not a whole paragraph. And also, know that Wikipedia is not some beis medrash, it's open to all. Sir Joseph (talk) 18:16, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Disco fever?

"He denounced the Western Wall as a disco..."[3] Is this a typo? I am visualizing a mirror ball and a bunch of disco dancers dancing to a Bee Gees song... :) --Guy Macon (talk) 15:55, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

The Wailing Wall Discothèque:
The abundance of articles, speeches, sermons, and letters to the press, by religious, political and rabbinical authorities, on the religious and national significance of the liberation of the Western Wall as the religious revival and national unity displayed by the mass 'pilgrimage' to the wall during Pentecost, which occurred ten days after liberation day, etc, etc; all this demands a clear response. Ever since the wicked King Menashe Ben Hizkiyahu placed statues and idols in the temple, and made his son pass through fire in the valley below the temple, and ever since the day a 'detestable abomination' was placed in the Temple by the Syrian-Greek King Antioch Epiphanes and his hellenized Jewish servants, there has been no desecration to compare with the pilgrimage to the Western Wall by 200,000 Jews in 20,000 car this Pentecost, and the fact that the Israeli police assigned special car-parks near the temple for those who visit it on the Sabbath; and there has been no disgrace to the Bible and Judaism to compare with the sight of thousands of Jews going every Sabbath to the Old City to buy "bargains" in the Arab Bazaar. As for national unity in the shadow of the wall, here is my proposal: let the space in front of the wall be fitted out as the largest discotheque in Israel, and let it be named the "Divine Discothèque". This will satisfy all circles and sections of the nation: the secular by being a discotheque; the religious by being called "divine". This will serve as a sublime symbol of the national unity represented by the coalition stretching from the National Religious Party to Mapam, and from Mapai to Agudat Israel in the Jerusalem municipality - a symbol of the atheist-clerical regime of the secular state known in public as religious. (Letter to Ha'aretz, 21 July 1967)
It seems he suggested that it be fitted out as one. Chesdovi (talk) 19:16, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Wow! Thanks for that weird and wonderful piece of information. --Guy Macon (talk) 09:29, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

The sentence "A committed anti-Zionist, Rav Kotler also helped establish Chinuch Atzmai, the independent religious school system in Israel" sounds like a non sequitur or even a contradiction.

There is a book called בין שני כהנים גדולים that talks about Rav Kook and the H.H., though there are also books that claim the relationship was less positive.

It was only then that Rabbi Kagan acted upon his judgement by forbidding his students to join the Zionist movement. When the followers of secular Zionism defined Jewish nationalism as “a nation composed of the language and the land”, Rabbi Kagan disagreed. He held that the essence of Judaism is observance of the Torah and not sharing a common land or language. Jewish nationalism should consist of both religion and the land as one cannot exist without the other.

The change in his attitude can be ascribed to the fact that some of his contemporaries, such as Rabbis Abraham Kook, Samuel Mohilever, Isaac Reines, Nathan Zvi Finkel, Isaac Blazer, and others showed that it was possible to work side by side with the secular Zionists and that religion could nourish in the Holy Land

Regarding your ARE

I would like to refer you to Edjohnston's comments, "In my opinion, this request could be closed with no action if Chesdovi will agree to stop this behavior. Another possibility is to modify his topic ban." It's actually fairly reasonable for them to let you pass. I like you to consider going back and reading the comments there. Slowly, carefully. While you are compelled certainly to defend yourself, I do you might consider the legitimacy of some of the comments. Find if there's a common thread among any legitimate comments. If there are it might be worth acknowledging and perhaps what you intend to do to address this behavior.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 08:43, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Serialjoepsycho, I would like to know what ANA and Malik found so "appalling" and "deplorable" about the AFD at Palestinian wine. While I can understand some comments were uncalled for, they were made in frustration in direct response to similar comments by other editors. I do not at all get why my poem has been deemed so offensive. I am at a loss to explain why editors have deemed it unacceptable use the word Palestine/Palestinian from pages on Talmud rabbis. Referring to them as Palestinian is valid and I feel that by changing "Palestinian" to "Jewish", one needlessly removes the geo-political location marker. A few pages were created by Dfass using that term but it has been systematically removed:
  1. Rabbi Ammi: The most distinguished of these is a Palestinian amora of the third generation, with "Palestinian" removed by an IP.
  2. Rabbi Assi: [4], rm by IZAK [5]
  3. Abbahu: [6], rm by Uriber [7]
  4. Abba bar Zabdai: [8] - intact
  5. Rav Zeira: [9], rm by IZAK [10]
  6. Abba of Acre: [11], rm by IZAK [12]
  7. Levi ben Sisi: [13], rm by IP [14]
  8. Hoshaiah: [15], rm by IP [16]
  9. Tanhuma bar Abba: [17], rm by IP [18].

I also created some similar pages, but "Palestinian/Palestine" has been removed from some of them, here by an IP. Debresser removed a few: [19], [20], [21], [22], [23] and also nominated Palestinian rabbis at AFD. Chesdovi (talk) 14:50, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

While I agreed in the AFD that Palestinian Wine could stand on it's own notability, your conduct was conflict driven. Edjohnston's comments are very suggestive, we can either let this go or we can modify the ban if you do not agree to stop this behavior. Spartaz has asked you to trim your previous 1200, all of which are in comparison to the 750 that remian and most of which barely or doesn't address your behavior. If you really don't see anything wrong with your behavior, fine, but honestly I feel like you do or should. If you realize of any issue behavior that Ed seems to be hinting at, I'd use some of those 750 words to address that.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 19:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
It seems I was provoked and responded in kind. If the nominator had not attacked me personally in the actual nomination and had rather nominated the article on its merits alone, no conflict would have been initiated. Sir Joseph accused me of having a "serious beef with Israel," that my main goal is to "use Wikipedia to delegitimize Israel at every opportunity" and the article was made "to bash Israel." (Why was that not viewed as an "inflammatory AGF failure" by AnotherNewAccount?) Sir Joseph then went on to call the article (myself included?) "obscene" and further insinuated I was a self-hating Jew. This after he had pestered me earlier in regard to the Western Wall persistently calling me a "POV pusher" and alleging I was on the PLO payroll. I think my conduct over at the Western Wall was very reserved, taking into consideration how annoyed I was getting with SJ, ([24]). He even had the gall to warn me the G-d Himself would disapprove of my editing, [25]. So much so, I refrained from filing a complaint as advised here. (Debresser had also joined the attack by carrying out a character assessment concluding I was a "really disgusting" person). After all that, I turned the tables on him at AFD, making remarks only in response to Sir Joseph having accused me of created the article as a weapon against Israel. The nomination should really have focused on whether the page was necessary in addition to the Israeli wine page, not to accuse me aiming to "delegitimize Israel." The fact is, I retrospectively recognise remarks I made were unhelpful. It's difficult to keep calm and collected when ferocious accusations and personal attacks are lopped directly at you right left and centre. Chesdovi (talk) 21:48, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
It is not your remarks, it is your POV. Debresser (talk) 13:42, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
I get it: I am not entitled to one, but you are. Chesdovi (talk) 14:12, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
The problem is the combination of POV and editing. I try to keep my edits neutral. You yourself saw that I can add the word "Palestinian" when needed. You, however, try to push your POV with your editing, and that is detrimental. Debresser (talk) 15:34, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
"when needed..." And when, may I ask, isn't the word Palestinian "needed"? When the word "Jewish" can be use instead? "Jewish" delineates religion while "Palestinian" refers to the geographical area a person was active. You are neutral enough to add "Palestine" to Levant, so why remove it from Israel ben Meir di Curiel? Why indeed is it "controversial" to appear at Israel ben Meir di Curiel but not at Levant? Chesdovi (talk) 15:46, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
I did not mean that "G-d" Himself" would disapprove of your editing, though I am sure He does. I meant it in a different way. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:38, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
I'm sure He does, and of course you meant in another way, which was.....? I'm also sure He would like you to seek my forgiveness for the numerous disgraceful personal attacks you've made against me and, le'h, the saintly Satmar Rebbe, may the memory of the holy and righteous ones be for a blessing. Chesdovi (talk) 19:41, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding that AfD

Regarding that AfD, I felt composing a poem to mock the AfD was extremely flippant, especially when combined with an abrasive editing attitude. Not that the conduct of Sir Joseph there was particularly brilliant, either. I also agreed the AfD was baseless (which is why I advocated keeping it, remember?) despite needing some work; the bulk of the material within was decent and well researched. AnotherNewAccount (talk) 17:05, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi

Hi Chesdovi, I was curious about something - you of course do not have to answer. I remember you and Debresser had disagreements over the word "Palestine", but I didn't recall you being overtly anti-Zionist. Did something change or did I just miss it? No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 20:17, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Something else

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is 79.78.168.63. Thank you. Debresser (talk) 21:16, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Your requested clarification

In regards to [26], You are banned from ARBPIA broadly construed. This is both in and out of article space. You can't touch the subject on wikipedia to put it simple. If you had for example brought a discussion of anything related to arbpia to my talk page you would be in violation of your topic ban.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 18:25, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

But I did not? Are you referring to Regarding your ARE? Chesdovi (talk) 18:28, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
I was highlighting that would be a violation of your topic ban and mentioning that since this behavior seems to be a carry over from what lead to the topic ban then the page move should be considered a violation of your topic ban. Specifically the diff I provided where you discuss past moves being anti-Palestinian nature, by anti-Palestinian editors, or anti-Palestinian bias (however you put it). You can not go to war here as a Pro-Palestinian partisan, not on ARBPIA related subject, and you can't shop this issue out to other articles. You have a Strong bias in this area that has lead you to disrupt wikipedia. This has lead to your currently active topic ban and it stands to lead you to other topic bans as you may notice at ARE. Please read WP:DR. Discuss the content not the contributor.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 18:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ashkenasic. 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.
