The article on Salomon Gluck has serious references at the end, citing published articles, easily checked. There were many heroes in the history of France and WWII. Here we have a Jewish Physician, out of the country, who returns to fight the war, is taken prisoner, goes back to civilian life. Although he is not allowed to practice medecine because of the racist Laws of Vichy, he nevertheless cares as a physician for young orphans. He enters the Resistance and finally is deported, in a very special convoy, never to return. His life story shows many aspects of the war, seen through the life of an individual.

Welcome!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! 

The articles you write will be more quickly accepted if you learn Wikipedia's editing style - see the links above. One space between words and after periods, link important names, events and concepts using double brackets [[like this]], would be a great start. Mak (talk) 16:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all i have to ask, are you related to this man in some way, the way you write about him makes it seem so, in which case you would have what is known as a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. however that is not my main concern, the problem is that, you are wrong, the refs you have given, are, for the websites, mostly in french, therefore uncheckable to many editors on this english wiki, and the articles, are impossible to check up on. secondly, while i am not denying that the many resistance fighters were not brave, your article shows no reason why gluck is more notable than others, what exactly did he do for the resistance?, was he involved in signficant attacks?, or responsible for major events? etc, if not, i am afraid i see no way this article will last on wikipedia, and sooner or later it will be deleted. finally, simply linking practically every other word is not improvement, in fact it makes the article worse, as you don't check to see if they link to other articles, meaning the page is filled with horrible dead links. all these issues need to be addressed, both on this article, and the other ones you have created, although on the other ones, you need to wikify them even more, they should be in continous prose, as i have attempted to do to gluck, not short, single line paragraphs.--Jac16888 10:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat again that the references are easy to check, look at the New York Times reference, the Jewish Press reference, [=in English], look at the websites quoted, not counting the original article published in a special volume in France. It makes no sense to repeat that there is a problem about the references. By the way, I did take into consideration your remarks about judgements : could have remained in England, his interactions with other prisoners. They are published as such in the volume cited. Thanks for the improvements to the text.

if you read the article's talk page you will see that the websites are of little use as references, and as for the newspapers, how is newspaper articles, some over 10 years old, easy to check as a reference? but they are still not the main issue. how is gluck notable?--Jac16888 12:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

btw, you should be making the same improvements to the other articles you created, remember, continous prose not statements, NEUTRALITY, and not linking every single name and date.--Jac16888 12:31, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now you tell me that the New York Times, for example, is not easy to check, I certainly disagree. I do appreciate your comments. (Highland14 12:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

A tag has been placed on Liliane Ackermann, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Precious Roy 16:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the tag from the article, because I think it establishes at least some notability, and includes references to third party articles. I would remind everyone to Not bite the new editors, either because you aren't interested int he same areas as they are, or because they don't know about Wikipedia editing style yet. Obviously, a New York Times reference is perfectly acceptable. References in other languages are also acceptable, and I have no idea what Jac1688 is talking about on the Talk:Salomon Gluck that "books and newspaper articles don't actually give any meaning" - paper references are generally acceptable. Mak (talk) 16:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Individual people are not to be filed in Category:Biography; that's for articles about biography as a genre of literature or film. People belong in the appropriate subcategories of Category:People. Do not readd the biography category to these articles. Also, do not add Category:Judaism to a person who's already filed in Category:French Jews; Wikipedia does not permit duplicate categorization of this type. Bearcat 04:12, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i suggest that you put Salomon Gluck, Rose Warfman and the others into this list, where they actually belong, instead of categorizing them in Category:Strasbourg, where they don't belong. Thank you, cheers, RCS (talk) 11:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The sentences you reinstated in the Hershel Schachter article are unsourced and WP:OR violations, regardless of how true they may be. Sorry. -- Avi (talk) 04:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That it is true is irrelevant. Please review the core wikipedia policy of verifiability, not truth. Continued disregard for wikipedia policy and guidelines may result in actions being taken to protect the project. At this point, I would also suggest you review the policy on three-reverts/edit warring, as well as the the various things which wikipedia is not, including it is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. -- Avi (talk) 21:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We need to adhere to the policies and guidelines, otherwise, every article would devolve into a mud-slinging tar-and-feather-fest. Sometimes, true information suffers as a result, but that is the lesser if the two evils when dealing with a project that is the collaborative effort of hundreds of thousands of people with hundreds of thousands of opinions. -- Avi (talk) 23:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Liliane Ackermann, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 21:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You must avoid adding overly broad categories to articles. Shimon Schwab is already in a relevant subcategory, and really doesn't need to be in Category:Haredi Judaism, which would be completely flooded if we did this. JFW | T@lk 01:27, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you look on Category:Haredi Judaism you will see that it has subcategories. Placing someone in those subcategories will effective place them in Haredi Judaism without overpopulating the main category. JFW | T@lk 01:35, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Judaism Newsletter Issue II -- Tammuz, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) Now with 200% more Jewishness! Yes, folks, we're moving on up. This newsletter is now the newsletter for both WikiProject Judaism, WikiProject Jewish History, and WikiProject Kabbalah. In the future, I may split them, but for now I think we'll be just fine with one. As always, any questions or comments should be directed to me, L'Aquatique. A Special Dispatch Just a note, not aimed at anyone in particular. By order of the administrative cabal, it is officially not cool (and possibly dickish) to call someone an anti-semite when they aren't being anti-semitic. Anti-semitic is a very charged word, and it's important only to use it when you're absolutely sure it applies, lest it become the subject of a Godwin-esque law. Remember Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. In the News A new class on the importance scale has been added- C Class- which covers articles better than start but not quite to B Class yet. It is up to the WikiProjects to decide whether to adopt them or not. Currently, there has been little discussion within our Projects, so if you feel strongly either way be sure to note so at your Project[s]. There is a proposal to reword the section on NPOV regarding religious articles. Please see Wikipedia_talk:NPOV#Religion section - Disputes between historians or scientists and religious_views to weigh in. Thanks largely to the efforts of Xyz7890, a new navbox has come into being featuring Halakha topics. See: Template talk:Halakha to join in the conversation about how it can best be improved. To Do The Simple English Wikipedia is beginning a project of creating and improving articles related to religion, including Judaism. At the present time, volunteers are needed to propose our most important subjects for articles to be created. The official working list is here and a more extended list is here. If you are unsure of proper topics, you might try checking our lists of top importance level articles: Judaism and Jewish History. (WikiProject Kabbalah currently doesn't have such a list) [Simple English] WikiProject Christianity is considering running a monthly drive wherein two or three top importance articles from English Wikipedia are simplified and moved over to S.E. They have extended an offer to work with us in creating a similar project for Judaism related articles. For questions or volunteer opportunities, please contact User:John Carter. WikiProject Kabbalah is in dire need of an article rating system for quality and importance. If you are familiar with that system and have some time on your hands, please create one. It could also use some infoboxes...

The Judaism Newsletter Issue III -- Av, 5768

WikiProject Judaism (talk/to do) WikiProject Jewish History (talk/to do) WikiProject Kabbalah (talk/to do) "Censorship" of names of G-d There is an interesting discussion currently taking place regarding whether or not it is acceptable to censor (i.e. G-d, HaShem->YodHey) names of G-d in articles to protect Jews who may be reading or editing the article. You can weigh in here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#Yahweh. Article Cleanup Lists User:B. Wolterding has generously offered us use of his bot to generate lists that show which articles of ours are tagged for cleanup. You can read more about this service here: User:B._Wolterding/Cleanup_listings and if you would like to take him up on his offer, contact him on his talk page. In the News There is a collaboration drive to get Holocaust in Lithuania to good article status. For information about how you can help, see the talk page or contact User:Piotrus. WikiProject Kabbalah's only Featured and Good articles have been removed from the WikiProject, on the grounds that neither article (Diane Keaton and David Beckham, respectively) actually mention the subject's affiliation with Kabbalah. If you have sourced information linking either of these people to Kabbalah, please add it so the articles can be returned to the WikiProject. After a rather heated discussion, there are now two barnstars for use by the Jewish WikiProjects, {{The Jewish Barnstar}} and {{The New Jewish Barnstar}}, and you can choose which one you would like to use.. Remember: barnstars are for rewarding users who are doing good work on the project or on Judaism, Jewish History, or Kabbalah articles, and anyone can give anyone else a barnstar. If you see a user who you thinks deserves a thank you, give them a barnstar! To Do/Help Requests If you have some spare time on your hands, we could use an article about a Kabbalah scholar named Moshe Idel. According to HG there are quite a few sources easily available, you can contact him if you have questions. Be sure to nominate it for DYK if the finished article is eligible. The folks at Shimon Peres need some assistance from someone familiar with both the Hebrew calendar and language to help them figure out the subject's birthday. If you can help, please see Talk:Shimon_Peres#Birthday.

Hello! Your submission of Germaine Ribière at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 15:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I received your note on my talk page. It's just a matter of policy to be in touch with both the nominator and the creator of an article when there are questions about the nomination for DYK. In this case, no one addressed the issues I raised and the nomination did not make it to the main page. The article still needs a lot of copy editing and wikifying; there are also French constructions that should be translated into English. Best, Yoninah (talk) 08:28, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you started an article on this woman. Can you please explain to me exactly what is notable about her, other than that she is a descendant of Chassidic Rebbes? I was not aware that lineage alone makes one notable according to the standards of wikipedia. Thank you. Yehoishophot Oliver (talk) 12:38, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Bereck Kofman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 00:25, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion has begun about whether the article Édmée Schneerson, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Édmée Schneerson until a concensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 05:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As reviewing administrator, I thought the nature of the AfD discussion had so far degenerated that, invoking IAR, I thought it advisable to close, blank, and relist at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Édmée Schneerson (2nd nomination). I'm sorry that you'll have to give the argument over again, but see my note at the AfD 2. And please avoid mentioning other matters than the article in question. I find it helps to avoid the word "you"--or the names, affiliations, motivations, or past behavior of other editors. I don't like giving formal warnings , let alone blocks, but please keep in mind that most admins would have felt themselves justified in blocking both you and several other editors on both sides. DGG ( talk ) 05:41, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I tried to find more information on Edmee, but it just does not seem to work. To be honest, I think you may not be able to avoid deletion (unless you greatly expand the article). You may want to consider WP:userfication (meaning "make into a user sub-page") if you want think more can be done with it in the future. Later on, if you can find more sources, you may be able to bring it back from userfication. Also, I have to say that the article on her seems inconsistent, saying that she is the grandaughter of Sholom, yet saying she is the daughter of Sholom's brother. I also can't find her listed on any family tree, such as [1] and [2]. —CodeHydro 18:19, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Highland14: Thank you for your contributions and you have done great work! But the amount of categories placed on the articles about David Feuerwerker; Antoinette Feuerwerker; Salomon Gluck; Bereck Kofman; Isaac Schneersohn; Schneour Zalman Schneersohn; Rose Warfman go way overboard and is truly absurd. Please see and read Wikipedia:Categorization of people. Please do not place every imaginable category in the universe that may be somewhat related. There are plenty of people categories as it is on the page. Sincerely, IZAK (talk) 07:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mechel Reisz 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/Mechel Reisz 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.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Pichpich (talk) 20:29, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
