Hi, [[User:Jeffgr9|Jeffgr9]], <br>
I've noticed you are categorizing some biographies in [[:Category:American Jews]]. Wikipedia actually has very specific guidelines about assigning categories based on religion and ethnicity. Please read over [[Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality#Religion]] so you can familiarize yourself with when it is and when it is not appropriate to categorize individuals by religion or ethnicity. Thank you.

==Disambiguation link notification for September 8==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Western Asia]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Lemba]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 10:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive behavior in the field of categorizing Jewish categories. Once the fact has been brought to your attention that your edit is contended, or even in clear violation of consensus, you '''must''' show consensus before you undo reverts or repeat the same edit. Ignoring the Wikipedia pillar of [[WP:CONSENSUS]] and [[WP:DE|editing disruptively]], may be cause for disciplinary actions (as in edit restrictions). [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 18:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

:[[User:Jeffgr9|Jeffgr9]], if you would like to see some background on the debate over categories regarding "of Jewish descent", please see [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism/Archive 32#Category:European people by ethnic or national origin]]. The only consensus was to keep categories as they were at the time of the debate and make no changes since none of the proposed changes had a majority or support. I suggest if you want to introduce some changes to how categorization is taking place, begin a new discussion on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism]] and see if a consensus now exists on whether your additions are appropriate.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|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 [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].

I do not use multiple accounts to make edits, and I make edits when they are needed. In the case of the [[European diaspora]], Jews are not a part of such, as read in the original template in which connected [[Jews]] to their Middle Eastern ancestry, and the [[Romani people|Romani]] to their South Asian ancestry.  On the top of the page it describes "white people ancestry worldwide" and the categories link to many white supremacist category links (i.e. Category:Anti-white racism)—all of which, by definition, are Anti-Semitic and Anti-Jewish, in general. Let me know if you have any questions about the edits I have made and I am more than willing to help.  Thank you.

:'''Addendum''': I actually think that the article is problematic in that it isn't actually based on academic parameters. There's very little activity on the article, so I don't think that using the article's talk page is going to attract much editor input (if any at all). Perhaps the question of problems with the article should be posed at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups]]. It's a pivotal article, therefore more experienced and interested editors are likely to want to discuss fundamental problems with it in a venue designed for those who work on ethnic group articles specifically. --[[User:Iryna Harpy|Iryna Harpy]] ([[User talk:Iryna Harpy|talk]]) 00:03, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

:Dear [[User:Iryna Harpy|Iryna Harpy]] ([[User talk:Iryna Harpy|talk]]), Thank you for your notice.  I have already provided some sources related to Jews and whiteness for our discussion in the Talk page; however, I will acquire more and work toward consensus there. I read what you most recently wrote, and you have said yourself that there is a difference between the base ethnically European populations and the ethnically Jewish populations.  I understand that the issues relating to Jewish intermarriage with indigenous European populations are confusing. I am suggesting that the Jewish narrative has never and does not fit the European narrative—especially when so many Europeans rally for Jewish destruction and do not consider Jews "white."

:On the contrary, "white" people and other non-Jewish groups tend to only label Jews "white" when a.) they either do not know the differences between ethnic groups in general (e.g. their definitions of race may be as simplistic as just skin color, which is only one tentative factor of race), or b.) they want to make a statement about how Jews are not indigenous to Israel and therefore do not deserve to return to their homeland.  

:These problems are fixable with the right information present.  If I may ask, what would prove to you that Jews are not European/"white?"  What is your preferential basis for these findings?  I will work on providing more information.  Thank you. [[User:Jeffgr9|Jeffgr9]] ([[User talk:Jeffgr9#top|talk]]) 00:51, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
::I haven't gone through the talk page's archives for the article but [[WP:CONSENSUS]] on article content, where it hasn't been discussed before, remains as being the long standing article content as the consensus version (by virtue of its not having been challenged... if that makes any sense to you). I've posted to the WikiProject Judaism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Judaism#European_diaspora here], and it seems that some interest has been generated already judging by responses.

::In a nutshell, I'm simply trying to treat the subject as a [[WP:CCC]] (consensus can change) matter, therefore have invoked [[WP:BURDEN]] as a formality in order to initiate a thorough dialogue. I don't think there are [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that can prove or disprove that European Jews are part of the European ethnic community. Naturally, you're welcome to bring any sources you think worthy of being discussed to the table, but I suspect that it boils down to a [[WP:COMMONSENSE]] consensus.

::Please bear in mind that I don't [[WP:OWN]] the article, so your input is as valuable and valid as mine or anyone else's. It's also best that further communications on this subject should take place on the article's talk page rather than have fragmented discussions going free-range across multiple user talk pages.

I've only reviewed a few of your edits so far, but those I looked at all have to do with adding Jewish identity to biographies. I have to ask, why is this important to you? [[User:Jonathunder|Jonathunder]] ([[User talk:Jonathunder|talk]]) 18:33, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

The usual way of doing this is keeping the ethnicity in a biography section, but not adding it to the lead. Unless it is a very notable part of the notable activities of the person, in which it is usually self-evident. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 20:12, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

:As per the process [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) described, I do try to keep to traditional form by clarifying/adding content and citations to ethnicity in the biography or early/personal life sections; but, in some cases, there is either:

::*a). no ethnicity section of the biography,

::*b). no early/personal life sections,

::*or c.) the current ethnic/nationality descriptor in the lead either conflicts with the person's true, cited identity:

:::(i.e. L.L. Zamenhof was a [[History of the Jews in Russia|Russian Jew/a Jew who was born and lived in present day Russia/Poland]] who contributed a great deal to [[Ashkenazi Jew]]ish culture in writing "the first grammar of the [[Yiddish language]]" (Wikipedia))

::or does not add description:

:::(i.e. Bernie Sanders is indeed American, but his Jewish heritage and practice proves essential as to why he is American (his family escaping the Holocaust/Racial/Anti-Jewish persecution), his perspectives on and decisions in life/politics/philosophy (e.g. social justice work), and further, the significance of his possible Presidency.  Bernie Sanders would be the first [[American Jews|Jewish]] President of the United States of America.)

:In essence, I have noticed a great deal of Jewish [[Ethnoreligious group|ethnocultural]] erasure, not only here on Wikipedia, [[User:Cliftonian|Cliftonian]] [[User talk:Cliftonian|(talk)]] and [[User:Jonathunder|Jonathunder]] ([[User talk:Jonathunder|talk]]) , but also in other sources, from textbooks, to other scholarly accounts, to social media, to political debates.  People who read Wikipedia articles should receive an honest portrayal of the content; by omitting key historical and ethnocultural facts, it not only contributes to the erasure of [[Jews]] as a People, but also of history itself.  [[User:Jeffgr9|Jeffgr9]] ([[User talk:Jeffgr9#top|talk]]) 05:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
::Add details on those historical and ethnocultural facts to the articles, then, in the proper place and with reliable sources. Don't just shoehorn the word "Jew" into the opening sentence, like some sort of perverse caveat as if to imply the people in question aren't really American, Canadian, Polish etc. People may get a very unfortunate impression. —<span style="border:solid 0px;color:#fff;background:darkgreen;box-shadow:darkgray 0px 0px 3px">&nbsp;&nbsp;[[User:Cliftonian|<span style="color:#fff">Cliftonian</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Cliftonian|<span style="color:#fff">(talk)</span>]]&nbsp;</span> 08:49, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
:::[[User:Cliftonian|Cliftonian]] [[User talk:Cliftonian|(talk)]], As I explained above, if those details do not already exist within the article, I do add reliable sources within the proper passages.  There are no "caveats;" adding the person's ethnicity/ethnocultural background, cited and backed-up, to serve as a clearer description of the person—especially in the lead—should neither pose a threat to anyone, nor make people fearful of the person.
:::And also, as I said above—[[American Jews]] are [[American]]s; but the term "American" in itself has a different meaning for those who are [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|indigenous to a land]], versus [[History of the Jews in the United States|those who sought refuge]], and even more different for [[European colonization of the Americas|those who colonize a land]].
:::Bernie Sanders' family sought refuge after escaping Europe as Jews; and this narrative proves integral to Sanders' growing up to become an upstanding being, fighting for Civil Rights, and making and supporting progressive policies during his terms in the Senate.
:::Being "Jewish-American" or "American-Jewish," or being labeled as such does not make one "un-American," or not a United States citizen; but it does contribute to the concept of American Jews' roles in society, than just the generic, un-linked, descriptor of "American." However, of course, when ignorant people question the loyalty of American citizens who share the background of previously-foreign/minority groups, those people represent the inherent flaws in how we talk about race/ethnicity, citizenship, and empathy in the United States and around the World—not the people questioned.  By adding appropriate, cited, and thoughtful descriptors to the biographies of people, we expose readers to different backgrounds to which they may not have otherwise had.
:::Bernie Sanders is an American Jew; Leonard Cohen was a Canadian Jew; L.L. Zamenhof was a Polish/Russian Jew; these statements are cited and backed multiple times, and readers should know and learn to accept these Jews and all peoples and their ethnocultural backgrounds, instead of trying to whitewash their histories and heritages.

:::::::[[User:Cliftonian|Cliftonian]] [[User talk:Cliftonian|(talk)]], Both Bernie Sanders and Leonard Cohen are certainly notable for their Jewish backgrounds—especially with Sanders' upcoming, potential Presidential candidacy, his family's story regarding the [[Holocaust]], and his own story regarding social justice, as well as Cohen's Jewish blessings, lyrics, philosophies, etc. that he used to give to his audiences; so your claim that those items have nothing to do with the notability of those biographies is subjective, but also—even though you may not mean it—offensive.  It is possible you may not share a perspective that understands how ethnocultural minorities feel when dominant society whitewashes their figureheads (i.e. through colonialism, herd mentality, etc.), but I suggest you look into such perspectives to help Wikipedia give thoughtful diverse accounts for its biographies and content.

:::::::Here is a recent video by Chelsea Ramsey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPRnrfTHeL4 ), who explains the whitewashing of Jesus; Ramsey does not go all the way to suggest that Christianity perpetuates this problem of cultural appropriation (for which sites like these: https://bible.org/seriespage/7-appropriation admit is inherent to many peoples' concepts of Christianity), or even whether [[Christ myth theory|Jesus existed]], but she shows how problematic it is to label figureheads by a power-based, dominant perspective, and not the perspective of the ethnocultural group(s) to which they belong (e.g. if he existed, Jesus was a [[Jew]], a Middle Eastern [[Ethnoreligious group]]—with ethnicity and culture/religion intertwined—from Galilee in Judea, and therefore neither "white," European/Christian (distinctions made by Constantine I and his Roman successors, the Visigoths, the British, the Spanish, the Nazis, the KKK, and more), nor Arab/Muslim (distinctions made by some notable Muslim clerics)).  Again, you may not know or be aware of these perspectives—but it is only a problem when one does not learn from and present these perspectives, especially in the face of dominant society.

:::::::In any case, Happy Holidays and New Year to you as well and thank you for your conversation. [[User:Jeffgr9|Jeffgr9]] ([[User talk:Jeffgr9#top|talk]]) 17:17, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

::::::::You seem to have misunderstood what i meant when I made reference to the "notability" of Sanders and Cohen. I meant that in the context of [[WP:NOTABLE]]—that is, why they meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines ([[WP:GNG]])) and have articles in this encyclopedia at all. They are included because they are respectively a prominent politician and a successful singer, not because of anything to do with ethnicity, religion, etc. Therefore, per the section of [[WP:OPENPARA]] quoted above, these things should not be stressed in the opening sentences of the articles. —<span style="border:solid 0px;color:#fff;background:darkgreen;box-shadow:darkgray 0px 0px 3px">&nbsp;&nbsp;[[User:Cliftonian|<span style="color:#fff">Cliftonian</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Cliftonian|<span style="color:#fff">(talk)</span>]]&nbsp;</span> 22:00, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your analysis, which claimed "there was only 1-2 confirmed users with few edits"—there was [[Special:Contributions/ChronoFrog|ChronoFrog]]; [[Special:Contributions/Bubbecraft|Bubbecraft]]; and [[Special:Contributions/PA_Math_Prof|PA_Math_Prof]] (and the [[Special:Contributions/2603:3024:1818:3B00:CCF9:AFE5:1187:21BE|IP, with a single edit]]).

:Thank you for your response [[User:El_C|El_C]]. I think, because the issue was so close, the categories should thus be kept, because the RfC was determined by a survey/!vote, and given the arguments provided for both sides—with a significantly stronger, and heavier-sourced set of arguments for "keep"—removing the categories would cause more unnecessary distress/argument.

Unless there are weighty reason to do otherwise, a discussion that is so evenly balanced despite broad input should never have been closed otherwise than "no consensus".

[[File:Control copyright icon.svg|30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon]] Hello Jeffgr9, and welcome to Wikipedia.  While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

*You can only copy/translate a ''small'' amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double [[quotation mark]]s (") and cite the source using an [[WP:IC|inline citation]]. You can read about this at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]] in the sections on "text". See also [[Help:Referencing for beginners]], for how to cite sources here.
*Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information ''in your own words and structure'', in proper [[paraphrase]]. Following the source's words too closely can create [[derivative work|copyright problems]], so it is not permitted here; see [[Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing]]. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/01/ hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue].) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verify]] information and to demonstrate that the content is not [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]]. 
*Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is [[Wikipedia:Copyrights]]. You may also want to review [[Wikipedia:Copy-paste]]. 
*If ''you'' own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]].
*In ''very rare cases'' (that is, for sources that are [[public domain]] or [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can I add something to Wikipedia that I got from somewhere else?|compatibly licensed]]), it ''may'' be possible to include greater portions of a source text. ''However'', please seek help at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|help desk]] before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources ''may not'' be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you ''do'' confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see [[Wikipedia:Plagiarism]] for the steps you need to follow.
*Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]].

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing.

== I find it hard to say a good word about your edit ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Category:American_people_of_Jewish_descent&diff=922729213&oldid=922724515 This edit] was really unbelievable. Especially the edit summary claiming I violated 3RR. Man, I haven't edited that page in 2 years!

Why would I revert an edit without looking at its content? Because the editor who made it is edit warring, and that is reason for automatic revert, much like vandalism. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 23:42, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

: Please be warned that your revert was not justified, that is saying it nicely, and that further edit warring about this will lead to you being reported. FIRST establish consensus, THEN edit. [[User:Debresser|Debresser]] ([[User talk:Debresser|talk]]) 23:44, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

[[User:Debresser|Debresser]] I haven’t edited on that page for a WEEK and all summed up only twice! So your accusation of edit warring was wrong and your revert without looking at my content should be treated like vandalism and thus is justified to be reverted. You are the one engaging in edit warring. ([[User:Info Anonym|Info Anonym]] ([[User talk:Info Anonym|talk]]) 02:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC))

== Kudos to you for what you write. ==

I read your discussion of Jews as "ethnically non-Europead and non-white" and "perpetually oppressed by evil whites" and had a good laugh. Thank you. Let's start with the fact that there is no universal and factual criterion for "whiteness". In the United States, various time, by non-whites were considered: Irish, Germans, southern Europeans and Slavs and Jews. Now their all officialy white and majority jews and non-jews agree with that, but as "non-white" considered the direct descendants of the Spaniards from Europe: "White Latinos". So what? Recognizing or not recognizing someone as white does not do anything to your genetics and phenotype. Phenotypically: Irish, Russians, Germans, Native Jews, Arabs and North Indians are a Caucasian race (official anthrological term). European, Asian, African are just geographical terms and have no straightforwards connection with ethnicity, genetics, appearance and phenotype of a person. And finally, if you hate "ethnic Europeans" so much, why do you live among their descendants in a country that was built mainly by them, why using their language, technologies and etc? Go to Israel then: oh and you will find that most Secular (>50% of population) considers themselfs of European origin despite being Jewish. You need to learn more about the world, and not sit in the echo chamber of an "oppressed identity". All the best.
