Abraham Zelmanowitz

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Abraham Zelmanowitz, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 20:58, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

So, you could have spend five minutes on Google to verify the information (http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/wtc-saint-laid-to-rest-on-mount-of-olives-1.37743 example], or ypu could have asked for sources, but instead you preffered to undo a usefull edit. Meanwhile, the wild conjecture about how they spent their final moments you left, just because there's a footnote. Fine, have it your way, I wash my hands of you - I'll stick to the Hebrew Wikipedia, where people use their brains and not just the rollback button. מרכז מידע הר הזיתים (talk) 12:49, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks

I'm glad that I was able to help with the Zelmanowitz article. I had an opportunity to meet with editors from the Hebrew Wikipedia during Wikimania 2011 in Haifa, and I agreed with their premise -- one that I think you agree with -- that there are many articles in the Hebrew Wikipedia that either don't exist at all in English or where the English-language version of the article would benefit from expansion with content from the Hebrew version. The best way you can thank me is to resume updating and expanding articles here, and the best way to fend off removals of content is to add appropriate reliable and verifiable sources with all of your edits. Let me know if I can help with anything and Shana Tova! Alansohn (talk) 13:51, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
