User talk:Moishe Rosen

Welcome!

Shalom, Moishe, and welcome to Wikipedia! I am Rev. Bob Smith (User CTSWyneken). Thank you for your contribution to the Jews for Jesus article. I'll be reverting it, however, because it really doesn't conform to the rules of engagement -- I mean policies and guidelines 8-) -- that Wikipedia has to keep peace over sometimes warring factions. Some of the main ones are below. I've done this to hopefully stave off a savage attack upon you, which may well ensue if I leave them in place. I'm sure you can anticipate some of that, but take a look at the discussions at: talk:Jesus, talk:Martin Luther and talk:On the Jews and Their Lies if you want some idea of what to expect.

I hope you like the place anyhowâ and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Take a look at Consensus of standards. It is always wise to read the talk page of an existing article before making major changes on it. Even then, I typically ask if anyone minds that I make a change. Very often they do! ;-)

Comment

While I support CTSWyneken's revert and thank him, I find the above comment regarding a mysterious "savage attack upon you" divisive. To use the same parallel as above, both Luther and JFJ sought/seek to convert Jews to Christianity, in other words to make them disappear as a religious group. ←Humus sapiens ^ну? 23:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Humus: The comment has no mystery to it, nor is it intended in any way as a religious statement. As you and I have experienced from some users, on both sides of religious controversies, things can get very personal very fast. Since Rev. Rosen's personal point of view is very controversial, to say the least, I am hoping that he will abide by rules here to minimize such attacks. --CTSWyneken 00:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact us

Dear Moishe Rosen,

I would be grateful if you would contact me (dcannon1965(at)maxnet.co.nz), preferably from an official Jews for Jesus e-mail account, to verify your identity. If you are the real Moishe Rosen, welcome to Wikipedia! What concerns me, however, is possible identity theft/impersonation. When persons claiming to be well-known individuals contribute to Wikipedia, it is my policy as an administrator to request verification of their identity, in order to protect real people from having words put in their mouths. For that reason, I am considering blocking this account until verification is received. David Cannon (administrator) 18:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Dear Mr Rosen,

THANK YOU for answering me so promptly. Yes, you have established your identity to my satisfaction. I welcome you to Wikipedia, and apologise for being overcautious about allowing you to post. My reason was that Wikipedia has been troubled periodically by impersonators claiming to be public figures, putting words in the mouths of the persons whose identities they have assumed. Wikipedia doesn't want to be sued, which is why many administrators - myself included - keep a sharp eye out for any such potential happenings and request verification of identity from any contributors with "notable" names. Anyway, I am fully satisfied now, and I'm glad you're with us.

(Some personal details, contained in e-mail, omitted here). David Cannon 11:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Do not place your trust in nobles, nor in a human being, for he does not have the ability to bring salvation. -- Psalm 146. 203.214.133.79 22:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
