Hi edit

Hi, I hope you've read some of Wikipedia's policies in the above welcome message so as to become a better editor. Your recent edits to Yisroel Dovid Weiss where not on par with WP:CITE and WP:REF. Thanks. frummer 01:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

ah, the ever helpful frummer... re yours the other day, what i find most 'amusing' given the content of the annon vandal, is that nk etc believe that, for instance, the recent gay pride march in jersualem is of a piece with zionist desecration of the land. perhaps our annon vandals would claim this's another example of their self-hatred? i've also been having a look around to try to save chussid some work, he's been doing a lot of unvandalism on related topics. thnx for encouragement, ben   bsnowball  09:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

I add in my shock over your inability to maintain facts in the article regarding Mr. Weiss. It is a fact that he is not a rabbi in a shul, that he is not a rabbi in a yeshiva and that he does not have Semicha. That should stay in, regardless of your agenda. Furthermore, the Edah Charedis condemnd him as well--how can you keep aking that out? Where is your honesty? DavidCharlesII 22:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

in case you hadnt noticed everything ive added to this entry is sourced and cited. while on the other hand you (and others) add wild claims without sourcing or citing a reference. it would appear that the one with an agenda here is you (and others).Lurgis 22:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

You are way out of line. There is nothing wild about the fact the Mr. Weiss is not a Rav in a Shul or a maggid shiur. He is not. He does not have semicha, either. These are facts. It is also not wild that Eida Charedis condemned. That's a fact, too. Your agenda is obvious--you are trying to make him look like a Rav even though he is not, and a member of the real Neturei Karta, even though he is not. You know the truth, but you don't let it on the page. This is because you are dishonest. The fact that he is not a Rav in a Shul or a Maggid shiur does not need to be sourced, just like you don't have to source his name or his claim that he is a Jew. Stop being ridiculous. You know the truth. And for that reason, I warned you, and I continue to warn that your priviliges will be taken away if you continue to enforce your NPOV views on the site. Please respond soon so that I know how to proceed. DavidCharlesII 22:59, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

do whatever you think you must. however, you are wrong in that you have to source your wild speculations and claims. if you are so right in your position then why cant you provide a source or a reference? anyone with two braincells can see that it is you that are doing the very things that you are accusing me (and others) of doing.Lurgis 23:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

ps - if you check your own talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DavidCharlesII then you would see that you are the one that has already been warned by an admin about your outrageous edits.Lurgis 23:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Weiss's sexuality edit

I did not vandalize. There are some very strong rumors that a civil action will be made against Weiss arising from his alleged pedophilia. I would not vandalize the pages, only bring this into the page because it is relevant to the subject. The cross dressing scandals were confirmed to me by three people who knew him while he was in lakewood. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DavidCharlesII (talkcontribs) 18:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC).Reply

Good faith edit

Please (re)read WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL. Whether it is true or not, statements such as the following are not acceptable:

what is apparent to any reasonable minded jew or goy that comes here and views this entrys history and talk pages is that there is a contingent of pro-zionist agents masquerading as wikipedia editors bound and determined to make every entry they disagree with to reflect the zionist view.

Such comments are also not in compliance with Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Talk pages are intended solely for the purpose of improving an article. If you have complaints about a particular user's behavior, post it to his/her talk page, as I am doing now.

(And please do not ask me to put a similar comment on User:Yeshivish's talk page regarding his/her commenting immediately following yours - that was clearly intended to be humourous. Thank you.) John Broughton | Talk 19:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thought I'd let you know...

Laura Tennessen edit

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Laura Tennessen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Find A Grave links edit

Hi - just happened to notice that you were using the {{Find A Grave}} tag, something I haven't seen many people doing.

Wondered if you know of (or are contributing to) the huge pile of material needing to be worked on at Wikipedia:Find-A-Grave famous people? I've spent some hours whittling down the "T" section - it eats time, but it's kind of fun to have an excuse to look up so many strange people.... --Alvestrand 10:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Find A Grave spam edit

Looks like from your contributions you are a hardcore Find A Grave spammer. As I already responded on your talk page, it has in fact been identified as SPAM. See Wikipedia_talk:External_links#Find_A_Grave. DreamGuy 21:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Uh... edit

Would you mind please explaining this? Krimpet 16:11, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

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.
