Afro image edit

Hi Marchije,

Please forgive me for not putting an edit summary- in fact I changed the image after a long and deliberate discussion with many people who I deem experts on Jewish culture- it seems that the old image- with the strange expression makes a mockery of this style and accordingly could be considered by some as anti-Semitic. It is for this reason that I proposed the new picture and I support the idea that we revert to the one I contributed.

Sincerely,

Zmenglish

Interesting edit summary. If a picture of a person with a "perplexed" look on their face was tantamount to anti-Semetism, then I've got a lot of photos to take down from Facebook!

In all seriousness, I don't have a preference for either image and really don't care which one remains in the article, so I am leaving your edit as is. However, in the future, please note that consensus with regards to Wikipedia articles should be garnered among registered Wikipedia editors by using the article's talk page and not via alleged meetings of unnamed "experts".

I hope that having a picture of you/your friend in that article brings you as much joy as it did for the editor who added that previous image. Enjoy.

PS: Usually when you conduct a conversation on Wikipedia the conversation should continue in a thread on the same talk page, so if another editor posts something to your talk page you should post your response just below it. If you want to let the other editor know that you've replied to a thread on your talk page, you can go to the other editor's talk page and post a "{{talkback|Zmenglish}}" so that they will see a notification of a new message like this:

Hello, Marchije. You have new messages at Zmenglish's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Thanks for the lulz. --Marchije•^speak/_peek 03:59, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I strongly feel that Jews and non-Jews alike who maintain such a hairstyle deserve to have such a sincere portrayal of their identity on this site. You have made a wise choice and done a good deed. Zmenglish (talk) 18:42, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
