613 mitzvot typo?

In the article 613 mitzvot, in the list of enumirators, some of the books are listed in red and some in blue. Any significance? Phil burnstein (talk) 22:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Idea for Talmud articles

Hi Fintor: I am reposting the following request from User Sh76us (talk · contribs) on my user talk page for wider notification:

I was thinking of trying to stimulate development of a series of articles on Gemara concepts and doctrines, maybe to help children or newcomers to Gemara with explanations of some fundamental concepts that recur throughout the Gemara. Some examples might be articles on Yiush, Chazakah, Ta'aninun (as in "Ta'aninun L'Yoresh"), Eidim Zomemin (forgive my awful transliterations), Migu, etc., etc. Maybe we could even create a category or subcategory for it. I created Breira in this vein. As I don't have the experience or expertise in Wikipedia to know what to do to best develop this idea, I figured I'd come to you for your opinions on: (1) whether it's a good idea; and (2) How to best go about implementing it. Thanks Sh76us (talk) 15:56, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Centralized discussion at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism#Idea for Talmud articles. Thank you. IZAK (talk) 03:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

SR Hirsch

Hey there, Fintor. Today I was fixing the referencing on Samson Raphael Hirsch and thought that the article is actually in a fairly reasonable state. Wouldn't it be nice, given our collective hard work on this article in the past, if we could improve it to the level of good article? All that is presently needed is a slightly better handle on the matter of his philosophical legacy, which is partially cited and perhaps a bit WP:NOR (although I agree with the basic premise that there are three views).

Paul Wilmott

Hi Fintor! On 30 July I edited Paul Wilmott to delete numerous claims that were not supported by any inline citation. Several hours later you restored some of these claims but at least some of them are still not supported by any inline citation.

At WP:BURDEN you will find the statement: The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged should be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation.

Note that the burden must be carried by the editor who adds or restores material. When an editor deletes unsourced material there is no burden on him or her to provide evidence as to why it was deleted, other than evidence that there is nothing accompanying the material to demonstrate its verifiability.

When adding or restoring text to Wikipedia it is important that it is supported by sufficient information to confirm that the text is verifiable. For example, you restored the paragraph saying He studied mathematics at St Catherine’s College, Oxford University, where he received his D.Phil. I am not doubting this statement, and I’m sure you restored it because you know that it is true. However, at WP:Verifiability you will find the statement: The threshhold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.

If a statement appears in an encyclopedia, and Wikipedia in particular, it is not sufficient for the statement to be true – it must be verifiable. There must be an inline citation, or at least a reference, which shows an independent source for this statement.

Please remove the statement about Paul Wilmott studying mathematics at Oxford and receiving a D.Phil until you are able to provide adequate information to establish its verifiability. Please also check the other statements you restored on 30 July and satisfy yourself that the accompanying inline citation actually verifies the statement. Please also avoid unencyclopedic, subjective, claims like Wilmott is best known .... An encyclopedia strives to be objective throughout.

For biographical articles in WP, there are strict criteria. See WP:BIO. Paul Wilmott may not qualify for retention in WP and the article may one day be nominated for deletion. Ensuring all statements are verifiable (by using inline citations) will reduce the likelihood of the article being nominated for deletion. Happy editing! Dolphin51 (talk) 03:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Operations Research Society of South Africa

A tag has been placed on Operations Research Society of South Africa requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, 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. Jujutacular ^talk_contribs 00:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Aharon Pfeuffer

The article Aharon Pfeuffer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Stifle (talk) 21:46, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Aharon Pfeuffer

Please see Talk:Aharon_Pfeuffer. Thanks. Fintor (talk) 08:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?

You're welcome to contest the proposed deletion in the manner that the template suggests. Stifle (talk) 08:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

for creating the article Finite difference methods for option pricing! Really nice! Ulner (talk) 12:40, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

French Society of Financial Analysts

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of French Society of Financial Analysts, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://dbpedia.org/page/SFAF. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:21, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of French Society of Financial Analysts

A tag has been placed on French Society of Financial Analysts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. RadioFan (talk) 11:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from French Society of Financial Analysts, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:35, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

March 2010

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give SFAF a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. – Toon 19:06, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Secant method - Introduction

Hi, before reverting again, please read your sources. They speak of a relation to Newton's method, as it is formulated in the first part of the sentence, but not of "Newton's method" as an alternative name for the secant method.--LutzL (talk) 09:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

South African Wikimedia Chapter

The idea of setting up a local Wikimedia chapter has been discussed by South African Wikipedians (and those associated with other Wikimedia projects) for some time now, and we want to help turn this dream into a reality. There are currently over 25 chapters established around the world, and several more planned and being discussed, but so far, none in Africa. A South African chapter, should it become a reality, would be a continental first. If you're interested in being involved in the creation of a South African Wikimedia Chapter, could you please email me directly :). Thanks and have a nice day, Kaydee 68 (talk) 11:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I have marked you as a reviewer

I have added the "reviewers" property to your user account. This property is related to the Pending changes system that is currently being tried. This system loosens page protection by allowing anonymous users to make "pending" changes which don't become "live" until they're "reviewed". However, logged-in users always see the very latest version of each page with no delay. A good explanation of the system is given in this image. The system is only being used for pages that would otherwise be protected from editing.

If there are "pending" (unreviewed) edits for a page, they will be apparent in a page's history screen; you do not have to go looking for them. There is, however, a list of all articles with changes awaiting review at Special:OldReviewedPages. Because there are so few pages in the trial so far, the latter list is almost always empty. The list of all pages in the pending review system is at Special:StablePages.

To use the system, you can simply edit the page as you normally would, but you should also mark the latest revision as "reviewed" if you have looked at it to ensure it isn't problematic. Edits should generally be accepted if you wouldn't undo them in normal editing: they don't have obvious vandalism, personal attacks, etc. If an edit is problematic, you can fix it by editing or undoing it, just like normal. You are permitted to mark your own changes as reviewed.

The "reviewers" property does not obligate you to do any additional work, and if you like you can simply ignore it. The expectation is that many users will have this property, so that they can review pending revisions in the course of normal editing. However, if you explicitly want to decline the "reviewer" property, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:33, 18 June 2010 (UTC) — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

• This permission does not give you any special status or authority
• Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
• You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
• If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 18:52, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to California Coast University has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. You should know better than to copy and paste content. Also, do not use the minor tag when adding or removing content. tedder (talk) 15:14, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

using the minor tag

Fintor, in case you didn't see the message on my talk page, you need to stop using the minor tag on every edit. It shouldn't be used if you are adding or removing content. See WP:MINOR; it's possible you have it enabled in your preferences. Combined with not using an edit summary, it makes your edits get buried in some watchlists and history, which isn't good for any controversial edits. BTW, you can reply here instead of my talk page. tedder (talk) 01:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the pointer, and once again apologies. BTW, I would like to restore the CCU content, obviously as appropriately edited. Fintor (talk) 07:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Inviting you to WikiAfrica Incubator!

Hey Fintor,

WikiAfrica invites you to support the Africa Incubator

WikiAfrica is pleased to invite you as a self-declared African Wikipedian to evaluate the Africa Incubator. WikiAfrica has created the Africa Incubator to support and assist new authors, as they create their first articles and learn the ins and outs of contributing to Wikipedia.

The Africa Incubator is a ‘soft landing’ for new authors to develop articles that relate to Africa. It assists them in becoming compliant and knowledgeable of Wikipedia principles and rules. Based within the Wikipedia framework, the Africa Incubator is fully interactive and enables feedback, assistance and forums.

This is where we need your help! For the Africa Incubator to be successful, it needs the intervention, interaction and experience of Incubator Mentors. We are looking for a pool of active experienced Wikipedians to consistently participate in ’owning’ the Africa Incubator. Incubator Mentors will assist new comers through the editing process. They will also help test and expand the Africa Incubator, and will play a vital role in encouraging newcomers to be Wikipedians for life

Please visit WikiAfrica Incubator to give us your honest feedback and evaluation. WikiAfrica is a ground-breaking project that is designed to Africanise Wikipedia by generating and expanding 30,000 articles over two years. Find out more about this project here WikiAfrica.

William Margrabe

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of William Margrabe, and it appears to include material copied directly from finmath.com/Chicago/NAFTCORP/Seminar/BioMargrabe.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Regarding "Shlomo Ganzfried" article

I saw that you added to the article several years ago this paragraph (I'm quoting the way it is now): "To determine a ruling, Ganzfried based his decisions on three halakhic authorities: Rabbi Yaakov Lorberbaum; Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the first rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch, author of the Shulchan Aruch HaRav; and Rabbi Abraham Danzig, author of Chayei Adam and Chochmat Adam. In cases of disagreement he adopted the majority view."

I was just wondering, is there a source for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpg613 (talk • contribs) 03:13, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Re: Financial Economics review

Just had a chance to review Fin econ per above post 6 months ago. What a tremendous effort and to such good effect. In that time, article size has doubled, and number of hits per month is up by about 2/3. That's amazing. Moreover, the increase content from your major edits is remarkable, and your minor edits that you care about the small stuff stuff as well.

I would not expect you to do it, because you can rest on your well-earned and hard-won laurels, but anyone interested in the subject might replace the JEL sidebar for Fin econ with a new section that links the JEL the 2ndary & tertiary codes to their respective subjects, such as The New Palgrave JEL-abstract links Industrial organization#Subareas. Maybe you could urge others to others do it. You certainly have the clout for that.

Peace and other best wishes. --Thomasmeeks (talk) 15:51, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Association of Risk Professionals

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 Global Association of Risk Professionals, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Douglas Breeden

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 Douglas Breeden requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.commonfund.org/commonfund-teams/board-of-trustees. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Wikimania 2022 in South Africa

Wikimania 2022 is almost here (11-14 August 2022) and will be held entirely online this year with the exception of a number of local mini-Wikimania's for local community members. I just wanted to let you know that two local Wikimania mini-events will be happening in South Africa; one in Cape Town and one in Johannesburg. Participants will be able to attend both the international event from these local events. If you are interested, available and in the area at the time we would be delighted to have you join us. For more information please checkout the South Africa mini-event page here. You can also fill out the interest form here. Discott (talk) 09:40, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

"cut-and-paste move"

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Yosef Yaakov (Yoska) Sabatka a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Yosef Yaakov Sabatka. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. -- -- -- 20:02, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

"Shiur"

Dear Fintor, (My English is not good and forgive me if there are mistakes). We do not know each other and I am addressing you regarding the entry "Shiur" in Wikipedia. (You was the first to write about it). I would like to refer to the following sentences: "The Hebrew term ("designated amount") came to refer to a portion of Judaic text arranged for study on a particular occasion...". Well, the word "Shiur" in Hebrew (both ancient and modern) refers to a certain amount, it refers to material things, as well as to time. A "Shiur" is an allotted time. You determine an allotted time in which you teach (if you are the lecturer) or an allotted time in which you study (if you are the student). It is written in the Gemara in Masechet Shabbat, page 35 (1): במסכת שבת, דף ל"ה עמוד א': אמר ר' יוסי בן רבי חנינא: ... שהרי נתנו חכמים שיעור לחזן (שמש) הכנסת להוליך שופרו שבו היה תוקע על גג גבוה באמצע העיר. "Rabbi Yossi ben Rabbi Hanina said: ... for the Hahamim gave a frame of time, to the HAZAN (Shamesh) of the KNESSET, to play his SHOFAR in which he would blow, on a high roof in the middle of the city...". That is: The HAZAN had an allotted time. / And now for the main thing. As I wrote at the beginning, my English is not good enough and I would like to ask you to express the above in the "Shiur" entry Tanks in advance.

Done; please review. Fintor (talk) 08:35, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
