Disambiguation link notification for April 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page President Bush (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WP:FOOD Needs You!
Hi there Chefallen! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?
If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?
First off, go here and add {{Tick}} (
) next to your name if you're still part of the project.
Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.
You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)
Language icons
Regarding this edit. Mind if I asked you why did you remove the language icons? Actually I have always found them really helpful in most cases. Is there a new rule against them? Cheers. //Halibutt 14:06, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know of any rule about using language icons for citations, but I do know there's a parameter inside the citation for language and I prefer that because it seems to be more standard usage (noticed it's that way in other articles) and it doesn't affect the spacing or font size of the citation the way the icon does. However, I have nothing in particular against the language icons, so if you prefer it that way, I would not object to your reverting it. --21:34, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Well, it's all a matter of taste I guess. I use them most of the time not because of their looks (style, page width vs. size etc.) but rather because of their functionality. In short they save the reader the effort, especially in such long lists of "related reading" positions, where he or she might be interested in looking for a book in his or hers language rather than just any book. The icon tells at a glance whether to read the rest of the entry or to search further down the list (it used to be arranged by language rather than alphabet). In short, the icon is there to answer the question of "do I want to click the link or not". Sure, there is a parametre inside of the citation template series, but it's pretty much redundant now that more and more positions (books, articles and whatnot) have their titles also translated to English (trans_title parametre) and all look "English" at first glance. //Halibutt 21:04, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Placement of images
If you place images immediately prior to a section heading, you disrupt the heading, which is why it should be placed after the header. You have now done this twice, despite explanation. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Not so. I'm not seeing a problem with the heading at all. Continue discussion on talk page. -- Chefallen (talk) 14:59, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- I am seeing a problem. And you are ignoring MOS, as I mentioned to you previously -- which is not in accord with your subjective view as to whether it is a good idea to have an image immediately precede a heading. And the reason for the MOS on this issue is ... see my first comment. Please stop reverting, in violation of MOS, and despite explanation.--Epeefleche (talk) 16:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Ancient Israelite Cuisine article revert
In the Ancient Israelite cuisine article, you reverted my edit that changed "century" to "millennium". The current article text reads "Wild species of barley and emmer wheat were domesticated and cultivated in the Jordan River Valley as early as the 9th century BCE." This is in the pre-Israelite subsection (ie.: before 1200 BCE as can be inferred from the following subsection). The barley and emmer mentioned in the paragraph were discovered (as mentioned in the same paragraph, though with less detail) in the Pre-pottery neolithic A layer of Jericho (dated to the 9th-8th millennium BCE, ie., more spefically, mid-8000 through mid-7000 BCE). The 9th century BCE, which you seem to think is the correct date, places it in the 800s BCE (well into the Israelite era, thousands of year after the domestication of wheat, emmer, barley, eikorn, etc.). Even the same subsection seems to contradict the use of "century" since they talk about wheat and barley being used in the paragraph talking about the 4th through 2nd millennium BCE.
From the citation for the particular sentence in question, Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is this:
My other example of how ancient peoples apparently used their ethno-biological knowledge to good effect comes from the Jordan Valley in the ninth millennium B.C., the period of the earliest crop cultivation there. The valley's first domesticated cereals were barley and emmer wheat, which are still among the world's most productive crops today
Emphasis added. Thus, even the reference from which the statement was derived contradicts the use of "century". Everything seems to point to the use of "millennium" (which is what I had corrected it to before you reverted me).
Why do you say that my "rvt incorrect"?
— al-Shimoni (talk) 07:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, it should read "millenium" as you say. My apologies, I misunderstood the diff. I will revert my change. --Chefallen (talk) 21:00, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- Not a problem. I was just really confused about how I could have erred on that. :) — al-Shimoni (talk) 10:25, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Library: New Account Coordinators Needed
Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitz

Message to Crefallen |
| 11:15 am Paris
Tues. 16th Sep. 2014 To Crefallen, Please inform me how I can send messages to you in the correct manner via Wikipedia, and also how to use the Talk page for Tekhelet. BTW, all the correspondence you have written plus edits, deletions and changes have been recorded. I keep excellent records. Jurisprudence and issues of truth and justice interest me greatly. As a litigant I won a very important court case on Feb. 2nd 1998 at the Melbourne Magistrates Court. (There was twelve months of preparation for the case ! I defeated two QC's) My grandfather was a well respected solicitor in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. Anyway let me go through a few things with you now...I will respond to your little asides and put downs. (Not sure who is paying you either. It would be fun to meet you face to face in a bar for a little chat nu...) Your writings begin with C : Mine are prefaced with AN : C: Adam, you have an opinion about tekhelet AN : Gee thanks for the condescension. I don't need or seek your validation. G-d knows what I am up to. C : and that's fine. You might even be able to find AN : “Even be able to find”...Wow ! You make it sound as if everyone wears the blue thread. Go to the Western Wall of the Old City on a Friday Shabbat and count the number of observant Jewish men who are wearing tzitizit. You will see maybe 2% maximum who wear the blue thread. I’ve spoken to various Rabbis and their assistants over the last six months about the issue. I visited Lederman’s Shul in Bnei Brak on the afternoons of the 28th and 29th May for five hours total. You must be aware that Rav. Chaim Kanievsky has not made a psak on this issue. C: support for your contention that "there is no unanimous decision by all of the current leading Jewish sages that the claims of the Ptil Tekhelet organisation are true" if you were to go about adding this to the article in an encyclopaedic way AN : What is an “encyclopaedic way”. You are trying to undermine my presentation by getting bogged down in semantics. Sabotage by pedantry and nit picking. C : that is, adding the statement in a neutral tone of voice AN : What is a neutral tone of voice when writing ? Your use of language is very poor. Of course when you are presenting evidence to a court you present facts. A fact is not “neutral”. It is just that. A fact ! C : and citing reliable sources, (not yourself) or your original research. AN : In a court of law evidence is presented by witnesses, prosecutors and defenders. The evidence can be in the form of written words, witnesses, objects, DNA etc. etc. On all these counts in front of an honest judge with my claims on tekhelet I will be proven to be a “Reliable Source” C. However, what is not fine is the following: Disruptive editing[edit] Deleting sourced statements such as [1], [2] and adding material sourced to or referring to yourself, such as here: [3], [4] ; see WP:COS is disruptive editing and unacceptable. AN : Any typographical errors I have made or with editing errors are a result of unfamiliarity with the Wikipedia platform. But the factual, content rich parts of my updates are correct. They are not “Disruptive Editing”. C : Soapboxing An article is not a discussion forum or a platform for your personal views. So adding long (or even short) commentary such as [5] is unacceptable. AN : When discussing certain complex subjects especially ones as esoteric and clouded in mystery as Tekhelet, one must present certain commentaries. A responsa in Jewish law IS a form of commentary/counsel. C : Sockpuppetry If you edit an article using your user name, then using your IP address User:87.91.50.226 to repeatedly make the same edits that have been challenged by other users is in contravention of the Wikepedia policy on sockpuppetry. AN : If you read the history of my edits, you will see that only in my eagerness to present my findings did I edit via an IP Address without logging in. This was a result of enthusiasm not an effort to be anonymous. FYI, over the last 14 years I have been actively presenting my counsel on a vast range of subjests on many media platforms all around the world. I am proud to say I always use my real, legal name. Unlike others I don’t snipe from afar. C : "Ownership" Please stop assuming ownership of articles. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive and could lead to edit wars andpersonal attacks, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. No-one owns an article. So telling me "Please desist from editing my revisions to the "Tekhelet" page" and "Desist forthwith from removing my edits/updates" is way out of line. AN : Interestingly, the Intellectual Property for making tekhelet in the first place was private. Someone, i.e. the High Priests family, did own the Intellectual Property. When the truth comes out about Tekhelet and how it was rediscovered the Wikipedia Page willn need to reflect this. If Wikipedia is to be reputable form of media it must protect the rights of various companies and organisations to their intellectual property. You will not find various pieces of confidential information, e.g. the secret recipe for Coca Cola on Wikipedia. When you are slandered, libelled or defamed it is quite within your right to stand up to the abuse. Also, you should maybe look up the concept of lesee majeste. C : Threatening other users. Please stop your disruptive behaviour. Your behaviour is verging on harassment. Wikipedia prides itself on providing a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing edits potentially compromise that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. It's completely unacceptable to make direct or indirect threats such as "A warning to you...Be very careful who you cast aspersions on" as here: [6] and [7] and here [8]. See above; you do not own the article and do not have the authority to tell another editor not to edit it. That behavior constitutes bullying, violates the civility principles of Wikipedia and is not tolerated. AN : You are being disingenous. Trying to suggest that by defending myself and my findings from slander, deletion, silencing and abuse that is somehow bullying. You are trying to frame the debate and use the “rules” of Wikipedia to fix the outcome. Thus it is not a fair court hearing. See the following article for how someone, i.e. MK Litzman also tried to “set someone up”. www.timesofisrael.com/lipman-denies-making-death-threat-against-haredi-mk/ I am also a very polite and civil person, but one must react to abuse on one’s person... C : September 2014 You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. I've reverted your edits to the article based on all of the above and as noted in the edit comments. If you want to change something in the article, open a discussion on the talk page and state what you want there. If you gain consensus from other editors, we can add it in. If you simply revert to your changes again, I will take this case to the administrators with the request that you be banned from editing Wikipedia as someone who does not seem to be willing to work collaboratively and within the policies of Wikipedia. Chefallen(talk) 02:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC) AN : I repeat...I am happy to work within the parameters of Wikipedia, if it is a fair court setting, and my findings and research can be presented, so please inform me how the Talk forum works. How does one access it ? Is it a “to and fro” process ? Does one post one’s questions then they are answered ? I await your responses to my questions here. I repeat...I keep extensive, detailed notes of all important events and proceedings in my life. It is a habit I have developed since a young man. G-d loves truth and justice.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
