The Godfather

That is a valid speedy deletion, no assertion of notability. The article did not assert notability and as far as I can tell doesn't meet the notability standard defined at WP:SOFTWARE. As to not being able to demonstrate notability for much software, then that software also shouldn't appear here wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I'm not willing to undelete it at this time unless you can demonstrate that there are non-trivial third party reliable sources which would demonstrate some notability. --pgk 07:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I am well aware of the status of WP:SOFTWARE, as am I aware of how policy is formed, WP:SOFTWARE is frequently referenced in debates relating to software concerning notability, it has a great enough significance that people use it as a yard stick. I am also aware that wikipedia policy is descriptive, not prescriptive - we don't sit around an ponitificate to form policy it's what we do which counts. If you would prefer in absence of applying WP:SOFTWARE I'll happily apply WP:CORP which it also easily fails. --pgk 12:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

With regards "I don't pretend to say that there cannot be any doubt as to whether the article should stay, but it definitely does not satisfy speedy deletion criteria." - it meets criteria A7 no assertion of notability, the article as was makes no assertion of notability. --pgk 13:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey Ян

If I might be so bold as to say so, you could try to be a little less judgmental in your edit summaries. Your wording here implies that my use of Erez as opposed to Erez, Israel was intended for subterfuge. Also, ` is not a quotation mark, it is an accent grave, just as ' is an apostrophe, not a quotation mark. ` is for ע; ' for intervocal א. Not all of us pronounce the two sounds identically. I hope you weren't trying to be rude. Other than that, I see you're gone to צה"ל presently, so I hope you return soon and safely. Tomer^talk 23:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Vizard

I re-added the vizard thing to the trivia section. Vizard isn't Spanish, it's an archaic English word which probably left regular use sometime in the late 18th century. If you want to see an example that would be easy to find, check out Act II Scene II of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part I. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dabarnes (talk • contribs) 09:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

Yarkon river

Copied from incorrect talk page:
You chose to delete an some stuff about the yarkon. I managed to get a look at it before you deleted it and it was interesting. Also, it included substantial information about the river. Why did you think that it is a "mess"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Uja (talk • contribs) December 24, 2006.

I am new so I hope that you will get this messege. I saw the material that you deleted and I'm wondering why?

Israel Defense Forces Insignia Article

Why have you changed my hebrew romanization, can I ask you? Why "Kheyl" but not "Kheil" can you tell me?

It's more correct to be "RAMATKAL" with bold letters than "Ramatkal" like itself. Why? couse it's short for "Rosh Ha'Mateh Ha'Klali". And if the last letter is "ה" then it must be "H". Example: "מטה" will be "Mateh".

I'm exploring the hebrew-foreign romanization it's long time, and please stop edit it.

Examples: KH - for "ח" (not including names and surnames such as "חיים". Will be: "Haim"). But correctly will be: "Khayim" as it's written so. CH - for "כ" (but not always. Such words as: "כסא". Will be: "Kise") Y - if there's twice "י" in word. Example: "חיילים" Will be: "Khayalim" TZ - for "צ" (and not "TS") like: "צה"ל" will be: "TZAHAL" and not "TSAHAL")

More effective examples it's the word (color) "Khaki" as in hebrew "חאקי" and the country "KazaKHstan" ("קזחסטן") and the arabian name "Khaled" ("חאלד")

And what's the deal with the images? I gived all the sources inside!

I beg you at last, please stop it!

Insignia template

The template was used on approxiamtely 280 images. I removed the tag using WP:AWB, which leaves an automatic edit summary. In about 95% of cases, the image from which I moved the {{insignia}} template had two licensing templates, leaving one intact. In a few cases, the removal left no licensing template. It was simply not efficient for me to hunt down another appropriate template, especially because I choose not to involve myself with copyright and have little to do with it, and consequently I do not know what would make a suitable replacement template. All I knew was that the template that was currently being used, was not helpful and consensus on its TfD was to delete it. I am sorry if this reply is not as helpful as you would of hoped. PLease feel free to contact me again if you have any questions or concerns. Best regards, RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 17:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikifcation of Yekutiel Adam

Hi, I added the tag because it isn't written in an encyclopedic format. It contains just sentence after sentence, with no paragraphs or any common purpose. Wikipedia isn't a CV or resume and I think pages such as the one in question need to be change in style. On a completely different note, you may be interested in doing some stub sorting; I recently created, per WP:WSS, an Israeli military personnel template that will eventually become a separate category. Seeing as this is your primary interest, you be interesting in adding this template to any articles you see fit. That is how I came across Yekutiel Adam. Thanks and I hope cleared my reasoning up sufficiently.--Thomas.macmillan 14:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• If another template works better, by all means do it. As for the template, it should only be placed on short articles, and its for all military personnel of Israel, not just generals. anyway, it is {{Israel-mil-bio-stub}}. When adding it to an article replace all the other templates with the same categories (like Middle Eastern military personnel, Israeli people or Israeli military stubs. If you have any questions about stubsorting, let me know. Also, if you don't mind me asking, what branch of the IDF are you in? Many of my friends are in the IDF and I am curious on the slight chance you might know any of them.--Thomas.macmillan 14:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Please

Provide a single prove that I reverted something. I did genuine edit, and if you don't agree – It's your business. But you have no right to accuse me of reverting, when a simple diff shows that it wasn't. I don't have anything but good in mind when editing wiki and indeed find behaviour you demonstrate just shameful. --132.73.80.97 15:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Bleach image issue

Another case of an individual trying to immediately insert the most current possible image of a character rather than a decent quality one... since Isshin Kurosaki's OMG SPOILER is now common knowledge to the anime-only series followers, we're having a low-scale edit war over what image to use. I like this version, which, while not showing his shinigami form, is a good likeness of his character in general. User:Mecha50 wants to use this image, which displays his shinigami outfit quite well but is much lower quality and, imo at least, makes him look like Kermit the frog. To top it all off, another user is complaining about spoilers. --tjstrf talk 15:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Gotei 13, Insignia section

cc: tjstrf

The LiveJournal community 'Soul Society' recently barnstormed the flower-identification puzzle again, and seem to've come up with a pretty solid list. I'd like to post this in the article, but feel uncertain about how to compose the paragraph most Wikifully. I'd like to have one or both of you (Ynhockey, tjstrf) beta the addition - I'll post it in my Talk for easy access.

Also, since you, Ynhockey, pointed out that the 'Ginyanote' reference was merely due to bad translation, how about putting exactly that as a point of trivia? It might enlighten a few more fen *grin*.

Expressways

Hi Ynhockey,

On List of highways in Israel, you've labelled all non freeways as expressways, but I don't think many of them meet the criteria (a divided highway for high-speed traffic with at least partial control of access). Let me know what you think, Tewfik^Talk 17:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

You're correct that there was discussion on the road topic, but I think it may have been on highway vs route vs road vs colour, or some such. In any event, my issue here is that many of the "red" highways are not divided at all, or only for very brief stretches, which does not really meet the expressway definition (90 I believe is only divided in Eilat, Beit She'an, Degania, and Hatzor, and is otherwise). I would say that they should still be designated as highways, but that their technical definition should match the realities on the ground. Tewfik^Talk 18:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I wanted to ensure that you saw my clarification and had a chance to weigh in before I made any changes. Tewfik^Talk 01:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Question re Project Israel

WikiProject Bleach

Konnichi-wa, Ynhockey-san! I recently proposed a Bleach WikiProject at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and thought that you might be interested in voicing your opinions, seeing as how you edit Bleach-related article quite often. A couple of the project's goals are listed on the proposal page and if the project passes the proposal, I will get started on an official to-do list. I'm willing to hear any and all criticism, ideas to help improve the project, and any other comments or questions you may have. If you're not interested, I simply ask that you to let me know. I sent a message to about five or six other users; only two responded and gave me their support while the others didn't respond at all. Thank you for your time! // DecaimientoPoético 19:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Kiryat

Yeah, I was just about to write to you about Kiryat Malakhi/Mal'akhi. Why the apostrophe? I'm a Be'er Shevan and drive past it quite regularly, but have never noticed an apostrophe (though of course the signs are rarely correct). I don't believe it has to be there - it is becoming less and less common to replace an alef or ein with one - but if you insist. I just think it makes titles look a bit untidy :)

I wasn't sure about it, but I think Kiryat Ata is better than Kiryat Atta, but I didn't want to change the spelling of both words at once. Let me know your opinion. Number 57 20:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Why officially Qiryat Atta? The city's own website is http://www.kiryat-ata.org.il/ (though currently offline). Surely this is the best "official" name? Number 57 20:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, a good point about Be'er Sheva. I would suggest that apostrophes are used in place of "double vowels", such as Ze'ev or Ma'ale. However, in the cases of Givatayim or Malakhi, the alef/ein sounds like a single English vowel ("a" in both cases) and I don't think they need an apostrophe (and I don't think I have ever seen them written with one other than on here). I also saw somewhere on Wikipedia a "Shmuel" with one in it (Shmu'el) which I think is totally unnecessary. Number 57 21:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Jushiro

That's odd, considering that we make a big deal about the shiro-shiro thing between him and Hitsugaya. --tjstrf talk 00:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I did know about the nth son thing being common in names though, I just incorrectly assumed the editor was adding a meaning for the name that didn't match this particular individual's, like kept happening with Byakuya a while back. --tjstrf talk 00:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I remember seeing the connection made in one of those colour specials. (The one where Hitsugaya gets a life-sized statue of himself as a gift.) Problem is, since those are the sort of oneshot thing you read online rather than store, it's not as simple to find the reference for. --tjstrf talk 00:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Good suggestion!

Thanks for your excellent suggestion re Pallywood, i.e. moving it to Allegations of media manipulation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I've proposed this formally - your comments would be welcomed at Talk:Pallywood#Requested move. -- ChrisO 11:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

While we're on the subject of categories

I started a discussion earlier today at the wikiproject page about possibly merging the anime and manga versions of the genre categories together, since they're redundant. Not soliciting your opinion one direction or the other, but you reminded me of it and I think it deserves wider input. (I'm hoping to reach consensus one way or the other on the talk page and avoid the headache of running a giant CfD.) --tjstrf talk 09:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Bet/Beit

Yes, I would go for Beit rather than Bet. I've just moved Ofaqim to Ofakim. Two other potentially controversial moves I would like to see are Beersheba (its biblical name) to Be'er Sheva and Petah Tikva to Petakh Tikva. Number 57 21:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I can accept the Beersheva one, but the Petakh Tikva thing really annoys me. H is correct only at the start of a word (i.e. you wouldn't have Khaifa), but in the middle of a word or at the end, the Kh needs to be pronounced - it isn't Peta Tikva (how it would sound with an "ah" at the end) - it's PetaKH Tikva. Also, I don't set any stall in how many hits something gets on Google - all it shows is how many people are right or wrong :) Number 57 22:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Whatever "ḥ" is, I can't see it on my computer! This is not a Latin wikipedia - it's English, and there are differences between how different languages use the same alphabet - we don't differentiate between Het and Kaph in the way Mizrahis do - it's the same to English speakers, hence the letter being the same. Anyway, we need to be consistent with Hets, so if Petah Tikva remains so, Sakhnin and Kiryat Malakhi should lose their k's too - though I would prefer the addition of a k to Petah Tikva! Also, I think the Kfar issue needs attention - I have seen it Kafr, Kfar, Kefar and Kafar - surely it should just be Kfar? Another couple that should be changed - Qalansawe and Qatzrin. I would also like to see Nes Tziona, Hertzelia and even Rishon Letzion! Number 57 22:34, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Oops - just realised Malakhi and Sakhnin are not spelt with Hets! Anyway, it is effectively the same thing to English ears :) Number 57 22:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

"Mapmaker mapmaker make me a map"

Hi Yan, I was wondering if you could put together something to replace Image:Expansion plan Ma'ale Adummim.gif, which aside from playing a games with Mt. Scopus, has its edge right before the Green line, so that it appears that places like E. Talpiot are in the middle of nowhere, and it defines the Old City etc. as "Palestinian built-up". Many thanks, Tewfik^Talk 03:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

What other factual errors do you see? Tewfik^Talk 19:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Would you guys have anything to add here: Image talk:Israel and occupied territories map.png? --Shuki 19:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Got it - also check out Category talk:Maps of the Palestinian territories. As for the map, it was licensed as fair-use, but I challenged that since it should be replaceable. And I believe Pisgat 'Omer is the original "official" name for what became PZ south. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 20:08, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: your comments, you'll probably want to sound off here. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 02:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

ChrisO actually deleted the original while the discussion was still ongoing. The modified map is now gone and just appearing from the Commons. Could you reproduce the unmodified from here to Image:Israel.png? Many thanks, Tewfik^Talk 06:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Could you take a look at {{West Bank}}? The map doesn't reflect Israeli settlements at all. Tewfik^Talk 06:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Another request - the map on Israeli West Bank barrier has been bothering me for a while for not differentiating between the controversial, unbuilt portions and the existing portions. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 07:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Good job on the template - I added to your work there. Is it possible that you could remove the Hebrew and/or replace with English the text in the following images (he:image:Jaffo draw color.jpg, he:image:Benyehuda.jpg)? Also, why is there an apostrophe on Kiryat Mal'akhi? (Maybe I need my own section on your Talk ;-] ) Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 04:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi again,

Could you produce a version of this map without any municipality selected? Thanks, Tewfik^Talk 18:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

In essence, I'm trying to make something along the lines of {{United States Cities Labeled Map}}. I've come up with this so far (see noted text) for this, but a smaller image would work better, perhaps with the Negev cut out, and some inset using the above Gush Dan map as those cities are too crowded for a good map. Tewfik^Talk 18:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Here is what I came up with so far - not amazing by any stretch ({{Israel cities labeled map}}). Tewfik^Talk 19:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I left out an important detail. The specifics were because it would need to be clear at ~250px for List of cities in Israel, to parallel List of United States cities by population. If you have a different way of doing that, by all means. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 19:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

This (Image:Israel labeled2.png) is great. There are still local councils on the Gush Dan inset, though if you cannot remove them it is not a problem. Thanks for your help, Tewfik^Talk 20:36, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

My mistake ;-) How does this work for you? Tewfik^Talk 21:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Now? Tewfik^Talk 21:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that, as List of United States cities by population, a Featured List that I tried to stay loyal to, also limits the cities, even though they also have very much room. I was tempted to put cities like Eilat in, but I'm concerned about what the cut-off would be, so at the very least, we should probably get feedback at our FL nomination first. Thank you very much for your help, and if you happen to have a good picture of Holon, Rehovot, or Bnei Brak, that would be helpful as well ;-) I also feel that perhaps we should have a concentrated effort to bring the top 10-20 cities to at least GA, but that is neither here nor there. Tewfik^Talk 21:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I read your points and have to think about them. In the meantime, I would appreciate if you could take a look at the FL discussion, as I'm unable to find the original data that you used for the bottom two charts, and unsure as to whether to simply replace the old information, or perhaps create some kind of dynamic graph. One of the problems is that I'm unsure whether the negative population cities of 2005-2004 are identical to those of 2000-2005/6. I also cannot find the specific government definition of he:ערייה. Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 09:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Mandate/Mandatory

Hi again. I've re-reverted your change on the Mordechai Namir page. Mandate Palestine is the term used by the British government (see here and here) and the BBC, so is about as official as you can get!

Hi. The File:Bursa05.jpg contains the edge of a TNT ad (I thought I told you to keep the former until you photoshop it out!) - if you don't mind, I'll replace it with the previous one. I agree with you, the previous image had powerlines and telepoles blocking the view, as well as irrelevant buildings nearby, but I just can't scroll down an article and see a... well, you know what. It's just out of place. Could you please cut this part out, or remove a strip from the bottom of the picture altogether? Etams 17:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Freeway or not?

You've added a reference to the article about Highway1 that the highway is classified as a freeway all the way to Jerusalem. As far as I know, this classification only applies to the Tel Aviv - Sha'ar HaGai section, and there's an "end of freeway" sign at that point.

BTW, by "Israel Roads Authority" do you mean the Public Works Department (or National Road Company of Israel, or whatever it is they call themselves nowadays), or the Ministry of Transportation?--Yairp 14:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I noted out the footnote, as it appears to contradict the text's reason for limiting the freeway designation. Tewfik^Talk 05:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Yan and I had a short discussion about this in my talk page. I was just about to remove that footnote after I got a reply from the Roads Authority that highway 1 is not classified as a freeway east of Sha'ar HaGai. Yairp 17:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Shagor History

Hey Yan i've noticed you keep removing the 1948 war history I had inserted from the Shagor article. I have given you sources of the events. It is not "Hamas" propaganda i dont understand why 60 year old events in the Galilee region have anything to do with Hamas. The event is factual and it has the right to be mentioned. If you kept reading that section of the article you would see i had also mentioned Hezbollah's attack on the city in which two residents were killed. Does this make it "Zionist" or "pro-Israeli" propaganda? Of course not because it is factual information about the city's history and just like the 1948 killings, it has the right to be mentioned in this part of the article. I hope you understand now why i keep reinserting this info into the article of Shagor. Please answer back and maybe we can negotiate something. P.S. i think you have done a great job on wikipedia and if you dont mind me requesting, i was wondering how you change the name of an article (such as Mohammad Bakri to Mohammed Bakri) thanks -- User: Al Ameer son

Hello, I had realized that these sources were written or documented by mostly pro-Arabs and I have agreed to remove that passage from the article. However I do request including some detail in the capture of the towns that make up Shagor such as, "during the capture of Majd el-Krum 12 male residents were killed, it is not known whether these men were armed or unarmed" or something of that manner -- User: Al Ameer son

Hebrew Town Translations

Hey If you don't mind can you post the Hebrew names of the following local councils:

• Tuba-Zangariyye
• Yafi'a
• Kfar Bara —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Al Ameer son (talk • contribs) 23:01, 11 May 2007 (UTC).

Tags

I'd be grateful if you could stop removing my tags. Please remember that projects are ways of getting editors to collaborate on relevant articles - they aren't categories! --Ian Pitchford 08:58, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

These are all articles in the category "Jews in Ottoman and British Palestine" - in what sense are they not relevant? That's the issue; not the degree of relevance. It's for the editors of the individual articles themselves, using reliable sources, to give some idea of how relevant the geographical/cultural/political context is in any particular case. --Ian Pitchford 09:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

If you check you'll see that I am reviewing the articles for both WikiProject Palestine and WikiProject Israel. However, your suggestion does sound a sensible way forward, though I still think it would be upo to the editors of the individual articles, using the best sources available, to indicate whether experience of/location in Palestine etc is key to understanding the subject. --Ian Pitchford 09:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: Bustan al-Marj

Oh I truly apologize, thank you for correcting it, I used in this case common knowledge and changed it based on the name of the town "Metzar" now has been changed to "Masser" which I assumed to be a Hebrew name. But I know now how strikingly similar Arabic and Hebrew can be so next time I will dig for it.

P.S. If you have found this mistake on Bustan al-Marj can you overlook Al-Batuf regional council. I started it yesterday and I know all four villages are Arab from the souce I used but I'm not sure on the names of the regional council. Thanks, User: Al Ameer son

Wikipedia Talk:Hebrew

BS"D I just noticed what you had said on Wiki Talk Hebrew, and you should know that chill in this case, if you haven't figured it out or got the notion and just didn't think about it, is used to mean chilling out, I.E., in between sedorim. Just wanted to point that out. --Shuli 23:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Edits to Quincy (Bleach)

User:72.188.174.161 added an edit, as shown here, claiming the presence of a previously nameless Quincy technique. Normally, I would revert this, but the level of detail and his adding of a reference to chapter 226 puzzle me. As my knowledge of the Japanese language is extremely limited, could you check on this? Much appreciated. Sephiroth BCR 03:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

reversing my edits

I have been on this site long enough to know that the English is terrible and my edits are entirely in keeping with improving it. Thanks to my edits over the past few weeks, two articles on Israel have received featured article status. You are not a native speaker of English, and I happen to be a professional editor. I have also edited and translated many books on the pioneers. I suggest you think about that before you remove what I have done. This page needs a great deal of work to put it into shape, but if you want it to sound like gibberish, so be it. I will not touch it further.--Gilabrand 04:12, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for reverting the vandalism on my user page. :] number29^(Talk) 01:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
