Edit to Yeruchom Levovitz

Thank you for your edit. Now all we need is for someone to start the Lyuban, Belarus article. כתיבה וחתימה טובה --Redaktor 13:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

You will be interested that Rav Moshe Fainstein's shule is still standing, although its a local medical clinic now. Has a memorial plaque on it.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Why Lemberg??

You've changed a name of Lwów to German Lemberg, but You haven't done that with Kraków. If (as you claim) Lemberg was historical name (in German) so also You have to change all names of Kraków into Krakau. In my oppinion we cannot name cities after occupants. In example we should change Moscow to Polish Moskwa because it was occupied by Poles 1612-1614. I don't want to change current Ukrainian name of Lviv. But the historical name after 1945 was "Lwów". Even official language in Galician Authonomy was Polish. The city was a seat of Polsh administration, and Polish Sejm. And most imprtant - a majority of population of Lwów was Polish until brutal expulsion after 1945. (Majan (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2008 (UTC))

Point taken. It is not something that really bothers me, but when I saw all the edits and didn't understand them, my reaction was "WHY?". Well I guess I understand what you are saying, but it seems that you and Catgut are in a revert war about this, and I will keep my distance. KosherJava (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Assassination Jacob Israël de Haan Ordered by Yitzhak Ben-Zvi

You obviously know very little about the case if you think that you make such an allegation on this page. I advise you to read a bit further.--Gilabrand (talk) 06:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Can you provide a reference to the additional reading material that you refer to? The data provided was sourced, and you removed it with no comment, only modifying it after my revert. It would be nice if you would provide sources. KosherJava (talk)

Chaim Elozor Wax

Just to say thanks for your additions to this article. I copyedited it a while back, and thought it an interesting topic - was hoping someone would give the article more attention.Gonzonoir (talk) 12:02, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

It still needs work and does not have the quality that it needs. I will potentially add a few more similar sources over the next few days.

Moses Sofer

Thanks for adding those references about the Chasam Sofer's parents and spouses to the article. I was just wondering why the text is so cluttered up with birth and death dates, such as:

Rabbi Sofer's first wife Sarah died childless on 22 Jul 1812. He re-married to Sarel (Sarah) (1790-1832, d. 18 Adar II 5592), the widowed daughter of the illustrious Rabbi Akiva Eger, Rav of Posen, in 1812 (23 Cheshvan 5573). She was the widow of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Kalischer (1788-1812), Rabbi of Piła, the son of Rabbi Yehuda Kalischer, author of Hayod Hachazoka.

Can't a lot of this be eliminated? If this were any other biography, the above paragraph would read:

Rabbi Sofer's first wife Sarah died childless on 22 Jul 1812. He re-married to Sarel (Sarah) (born 1790), the widowed daughter of the illustrious Rabbi Akiva Eger, Rav of Posen, on 23 Cheshvan 5573. She was the widow of Rabbi Avraham Moshe Kalischer (1788-1812), Rabbi of Piła, who was the son of Rabbi Yehuda Kalischer, author of Hayod Hachazoka.

by all means please copy-edit it. I just added some references and facts, but did not do anything to clean up the flow, and earlier in one of my checkin comments, I mentioned the following

Kraków pogrom

You recently set the Kraków pogrom page as a Start-Class, and I am curious what drives such assertions. Thanks KosherJava (talk) 12:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. For the evaluation criterion that we use at WP Judaism, you can take a look at this page. As far as Kraków pogrom is concerned, I've reassessed it as a C after taking another look. If you want some info on further developing the article, take a look here. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please also keep in mind the following Wikipedia guideline: "It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article." Please let me know if you have any more questions. shirulashem (talk) 21:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for fixing the link I inserted on the Kielce pogrom page.--Jacurek (talk) 18:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Rav Gottlieb of Stropkov

Thank you for adding sources to the article of Rav Chaim Joseph Gottlieb of Stropkov. May I ask if you have a personal connection to the rabbi? I am a descendant of the rav and would like to get in touch if you have any more information - thanks. Fesky22188@web.de —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fesky22188 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

No connection at all. I have no additional information, but looked up the data to improve the article. If you are looking for additional researchers, go to JGFF at http://www.jewishgen.org/JGFF/jgffweb.asp where you will find another researcher researching Gottlieb from Stropkov KosherJava (talk) 23:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:16, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sarah Schenirer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tarnow (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
