Speedy deletion nomination of Jew or Not Jew

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Jew or Not Jew, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. microbiologyMarcus [petri dish·growths] 14:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:JewOrNotJew.gif

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:JewOrNotJew.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Home of Peace Memorial Park.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Home of Peace Memorial Park.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file's talk 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Keir Starmer, edit revert with no justification

Hi there, you reverted my edit with no justification or comment on arguably one of the world's most high profile articles today. I justified at length the reason for the edit, the source and detail are repeated further down the section.

I'm not into edit warring so I'm not going to immediately revert but it's not really in good faith to go around reverting perfectly justified edits with no justification. If you had put forward even the briefest comment to justify it I could have attempted to understand. Otherwise it comes over as quite condescending. The fact that you have created a number of articles around the Jewish faith also makes me feel like you *could* be trying to overemphasise that Starmer's children are being raised Jewish when the article referenced does not explicitly support that. I'd appreciate a response so that we can resolve what you disagreed with, and why you feel that the content needs to be mentioned and referenced twice in one section. Mountaincirquetalk 19:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

@Mountaincirque, hello there. Well firstly, I wasn't the one who added that in, it was already there when I first came across the article on Starmer. I did read the article on Starmer where he did mention that his children were being raised in the faith of their mother, observed Shabbat, and attended synagogue. And he's mentioned this a few times and, a few days back, it became an election story as well. I think its clearly important to him and his family and I didn't think "this isn't important" was a good enough reason to remove it.
I'm not myself Jewish (my interest in it is mostly limited to Jewish sportspeople in the 20th century) so I approach the subject with sensitivity and take into account the feelings of the person themselves on the subject. Since its important to Starmer to the point he has mentioned it a number of times - one of the few personal things we actually know about him in fact - I felt it should remain in the section about his personal life.
I am sorry for not leaving an edit summary and explaining my reasons. I was in a bit of a rush and I just forgot to write one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Fair enough, I just felt that the mention further down was enough. I think someone else has actually added another reference now for the fact that the children are raised in the Jewish faith. As the page is so high profile today I'm going to just leave it. All the best. Mountaincirquetalk 19:58, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
All the best to you as well. And thank you for hearing me out. Much appreciated. :) Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Improvements to Article

I have been asking several editors about improving the article Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but but since they will do it eventually, I was hoping that since you are capable of making necessary changes when it is most convenient, I ask you in the most humble manner that do you consider expanding the one of the articles sections? The section “Authority, powers and constraints” with sub-headings describing the legislative, executive or the royal prerogative powers of the Prime Minister in the most detailed way? This is a request to add some improvements that I think it needs. Since a new Prime Minster has been elected, I think that the page now needs to be updated with some information. 112.134.244.71 (talk) 04:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

I will look into it. The specific section you have singled out has its own page though so I don't think it needs anything more than a basic overview of the PM's powers. Omnis Scientia (talk) 07:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sheila Lochhead, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Margaret MacDonald.

See the Earwig report here. TSventon (talk) 14:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
@TSventon, thank you for bringing it to my attention. It wasn't my intention to do so. I've further slimmed down, rewrote, and added back the info so its in line with copyright rules of Wikipedia. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:02, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for writing the article, by the way. I reran the Earwig report with "Use links in page" here and there are still two passages highlighted in red, one starting "The Delegacy was established" and the other starting "The Delegacy effectively took over". The article needs to be in your own words, Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing is not sufficient. TSventon (talk) 14:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
I've rewrote it as best as I could in my own words. Its down to 13% now which is mostly the names of organizations. Omnis Scientia (talk) 14:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Edit summary request

Information icon Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

The above is especially needed at Jane Forbes Clark. Also, please read WP:OR and WP:BRD, both of which were disregarded in a recent edit to that article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I try to add an edit summary but, sometimes, for quick edits I forget to. Thank you for telling me about the preference, I'll add that. :)
I don't think I added any orignal info though. At least, not on purpose. I added because its mentioned in the cited references, even if briefly. If I'm mistaken then my apologies. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:55, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Israel advocate BLP

Hi Omnis Scientia, I saw that you recently worked on the JDC article. Would you mind looking at my edit request for Jay Ruderman, an Israel and disability rights activist who partnered with the JDC and the Israeli government to support inclusion for people with disabilities in Israel? I would like to add this content to his article, as well as his organization's young activist affiliate lobbying the MLB to change the term "disabled list" to "injured list." Thank you very much! LiatDo (talk) 06:45, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

@LiatDo, hello there! How are you? So I went to check your edit request out and, by the looks of it, your edit request has been intacted by another user. See here. Omnis Scientia (talk) 18:08, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
Omnis Scientia, thank you for looking into this! It seems that it was marked as answered by mistake as you'll see that only half of it was answered. For clarity, I crossed out what has been implemented. Thank you! LiatDo (talk) 12:24, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
I believe that the user who did so did it because, in one case, it doesn't apply to Ruderman specifically which I would agree with. Ultimately, MLB's decision to change to I.L. was a multi-person campaign so you can't give credit to Ruderman for it.
The other one I have implemented into the Activism section. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:40, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Omnis Scientia, thank you very much for helping to update the article! LiatDo (talk) 12:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
