Rabbi

I see you added the following text to the article about the Rebbe: "although other names will appear in print, the entire work of "Hatamim" is that of my dear and beloved son-in-law, the Rabbi." He wasn't "the Rabbi" yet in those years, when his father-in-law wrote him. Perhaps it should be "my dear and beloved son-in-law and rabbi"? Debresser (talk) 17:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Surprising as it may seem, those are in fact the words of Rayatz in his letter: "Ishecha, Chasni Yekiri Harav Sheyichye" TM 21:36, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't have the letter, perhaps send me a scan/picture to my email. But I do think it is likely that this translation is mistaken. Debresser (talk) 15:27, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

What is your email? I have this letter translated, and will try scan that also. TM 15:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

See my user page for my email. Debresser (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

"Harav" is just "the rabbi", not "the Rebbe". As I thought. Debresser (talk) 00:53, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Debresser please look at my original post before you accuse me of wrong translation. Even here on this talk page you write (on 26 December, 2012)

"I see you added the following text to the article about the Rebbe: "although other names will appear in print, the entire work of "Hatamim" is that of my dear and beloved son-in-law, the Rabbi." He wasn't "the Rabbi" yet in those years, when his father-in-law wrote him. Perhaps it should be "my dear and beloved son-in-law and rabbi"?"

I then replied to you that the letter did indeed call him "ishcha harav" as in "the rabbi." And now, (29 November 2013) you write to me that it's "the rabbi" and not "the Rebbe".

As you can see, I never said it says "the Rebbe." Please show more caution next time before resorting to biting behavior. Thank you. TM (talk) 21:00, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I didn't want to appear biting, sorry. This was quite a while ago. I must have meant "the Rabbi", with a capital, as in "the Rebbe" which is the leader of a hasidic dynasty vs. "the rabbi", as in the function. Debresser (talk) 18:50, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello Debresser. I saw you undid my changes on Menachem M. Schneerson. You stated that you object to some of them and that I should make smaller edits. The reason I made big edits was because I moved sections and did not want the history to give a wrong impression that I blanked sections. I imagine you don't disagree with the new sources I added or the text I tightened. Can you please specify what changes I made you disagree with? Thanks. TM (talk) 02:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi Debresser, I thank you for your response on your talk page. I am copying the conversation here so it's all in one place: "You removed some sourced statements from the lede like that he was called simply "the Rebbe" and that he was one of the most influential leaders of religious Judaism in the 20th century. These phrases may remind you of hagiography, but they are true and important. Likewise you removed a source for the statement that he is noted for his contributions to religious thought, without any indication why that source didn't satisfy you. Moving sections is a regular thing and can be done in one edit, no reason not to separate that from other edits. Debresser (talk) 10:31, 8 September 2014 (UTC)"

Please check again. I did not remove those statements that he was called "the Rebbbe" or that he was influential. I simply moved them a few lines down after providing a basic historic context. Per one of the discussion on the talk page that the lede provided no historic background at all, I though it was very important. The reason I removed the said source is because a) that information is already conveyed in the next source. b) the next source is available online. For the above reasons I did not think it was necessary to "over-source" that statement. Per your objection, however, I will leave the source in, but I am redoing some of my other changes -- that you did not object to. I hope I have explained. Thanks. TM (talk) 15:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

If I made a mistake, then no problem and sorry. Debresser (talk) 18:29, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Yair Lapid

I received this unsigned message on my talk page "TzviMichelsohn ...is posting slander about Yair Lapid". These words were posted at the top of my page in a vandalizing way, and I have therefore moved them into their own section. I am ready to discuss this either here or on Lapid,s page. TM (talk) 22:40, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Infobox

Hello Tzvi - just an FYI, Israeli politicians have their own infobox ({{Infobox Member of the Knesset}}), which also has the function of including ministerial posts - can you not remove this from articles please - just fill in the ministerial posts section (documentation is on the template page). Also, the incoming government aren't officially ministers until they're sworn in, so I've reverted your changes for now (I think they'll be sworn in tomorrow, and then they'll appear on the Knesset site). I wouldn't be surprised if some change late on as well... Cheers, Number 57 12:35, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Mildly

In this edit you removed the word "mildly", and said in the edit summary: "fixed according to sources". I am sorry, but the word "mildly" is in the source. This is the second time already I have to add it, and I don't understand why. Debresser (talk) 00:51, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Moshe Chaim Lau

The article Moshe Chaim Lau has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. EoRdE6 (talk) 19:22, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

A source has been added. More to come. TM (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Moshe Chaim Lau

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 Moshe Chaim Lau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

When you reference a newspaper article its always best to find the electronic version and reference that. I found the article and it does not say what you wrote. You wrote that it is iconic because the Rebbe lived there. That is considered WP:OR because you are drawing your own conclusion. I edited the lead to accurately reflect what it says in the article and provided the electronic reference. - Galatz (talk) 15:44, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I would certainly not WP:OR. I have a printed copy of the article and the quote is exactly as I wrote it. I can email you a scanned copy if you provide me with an email address. TM (talk) 23:51, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Copyright violation

This edit (2014-11-27) copied an entire list from a Chabad website (archive from 2013-10-13). Chabad's copyright policy is not compatible with Wikipedia's (for several reasons, including not allowing modifications). Thus, while a Chabad page may be usable as a reference, text from the page can not be incorporated directly into the article. In addition to copyright issues, using text from a source requires attribution.

Please take care to prevent this from happening in the future. Thanks. Mattflaschen - Talk 04:54, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing this out to me. TM (talk) 15:55, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Chabad POV

I understand that you have a Chabad POV, but not everything in Judaism is because of the Rebbe, you need to ease up on editing articles to make it seem that Judaism revolves around Chabad. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:01, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

You are the one with the ax to grind. This is properly sourced information. TM (talk) 16:04, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

December 2015

Hello, I'm Sir Joseph. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sir Joseph. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Hanukkah seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:13, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Hanukkah shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. LjL (talk) 16:55, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you LjL (talk) for reviewing this an contacting me. In no way did I intend to edit war and deeply regret such actions. I try hard to keep to Wikipedia's guidelines as best as possible, and often review the guideline pages. I was simply putting back information that was properly sources that was removed with no explanation. I ask ask that you to please reconsider this warning. Thank you. TM (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions notice - BLP

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

slakr^\ talk / 01:45, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, the BLP one was there because I didn't realize the guy that sparked it was dead. I can't technically undo the alert, though, due to log issues, so just beware of WP:BLP anyway. :P --slakr^\ talk / 02:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Thank you slakr. I understand the error. TM (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

June 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
You need to use the talk page if you are making changes that are deletnig properly cited sources. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 14:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring at Menachem Mendel Schneerson

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.
