==On Hammoth-Dor==

Hello, St. Anselm. If I am reading the edit history correctly, back in September you put a "clarification needed" tag on on the article [[Hammoth-Dor]]. I've cleaned up the relevant sentence. I'm wondering if you now consider it clear enough for me to remove the clarification needed tag. I would do it myself, but I figured since you put it there first, I'd check with you.[[User:Alephb|Alephb]] ([[User talk:Alephb|talk]]) 11:02, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|120px]]
;<big>A '''HUGE''' backlog</big> 	
We now have {{NUMBERINGROUP:patroller}} New Page Reviewers!<br> 
Most of us requested the user right at [[WP:PERM|PERM]], expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
[[File:New_Pages_backlog_2016_-5_Feb_2017.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Hitting {{red|17,000}} soon]]
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. '''Only 20 reviews a day''' by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing '''only 2 or 3 reviews a day''' - that's about 5 minutes work!<br>
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to  {{red|70,000}}.  
;<big>'''Second set of eyes'''</big>
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.

== Message on my talk page ==

Hi,

I'm confused as to why you left a warning message on my talk page.  The underlinked tag keps getting removed because there's a program that I use called [[WP:AWB|AutoWikiBrowser]] which, amongst other things, detects errors in tags.  According to its algorithms, that article is not underlinked therefore the tag keeps getting removed.  It's semi-automated and works on lists so that article is one in thousands that AWB deals with.

Please remember not to [[WP:DTR|template the regulars]] as it's patronising and a bit rude really.

:Yes, I've had problems with tools doing things I didn't want - but we still have to take responsibility for our edits. See [[WP:AWBRULES]]: "You are responsible for every edit made." Perhaps you need to raise the problem with the tool's developer, or maybe you just need to stop using AWB. With this particular removal, you had done it twice[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Embrunman&diff=765963089&oldid=764591915][https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Embrunman&diff=767196131&oldid=766197734] - and made no other edits to the article.

:Jews traditionally divide the Bible into Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim. That makes Torah (in one sense of the word) a subset of the Bible. Getting all huffy about that is ridiculous. [[User:Alephb|Alephb]] ([[User talk:Alephb|talk]]) 11:46, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
::Part of the issue is  - what is The Bible?  Jews have [[Tanakh]] and Christians have their own versions (which are not the same among Christians; the [[Catholic Bible]] has more books than the [[Protestant Bible]] see also [[Christian biblical canons]]).  Most Christians are not thinking Tanakh when they say "Bible" in my experience, they are thinking some version of the Christian Bible.  Otherwise they wouldn't get upset when I said "The Bible doesn't include the New Testament" which is perfectly true if;) you are Jewish and talking about your "Bible" and b) if "Bible" is ''really'' a term that anybody can use however they want.

::: The Christian Bibles all include the five books of Moses (a name we can all agree on), which we Jews call Torah, and we don't mind anybody else calling it Torah. '''Torah ''is'' a subset of the Bible''' in every sense of the word, anybody's Bible, everybody's Bible. See {{slink|Biblical canon|Old Testament}}: "All of the major Christian traditions accept the books of the [[Protocanonical books|Hebrew protocanon]] in its entirety as divinely inspired and authoritative."

::::::Is that quote actually in Wikipedia?  Oy we need to fix that. Outside of that what you are saying is true - Torah is in everybody's "Bible".  it just not everybody means the same thing by "Bible", and in the context above, naming Abraham as being someone in "the bible" and the quran just excludes (in my view) Jewish traditions about Abraham in a way that is both casual and unhelpful and we really should never do.

That way all the different Bibles belonging to groups with 15 million members or more are included; all of these religions have populations equal to or greater than the number of adherents of Judaism.

== Draft article on "History of Fair Use proposals in Australia" ==

As per your original suggestion on the Australian wikipedians' noticeboard - and as 'seconded' by [[User:Capitalistroadster|Capitalistroadster]] and [[User:Lankiveil|Lankiveil]] - I and a couple of others (notably [[User:Damph|Damph]] & [[User:Trishhepworth|Trishhepworth]], and also [[user:Tango Mike Bravo|Tango Mike Bravo]]) have taken your advice and made the draft article ''[[Draft:History of Fair Use proposals in Australia]]''' - an attempt to make a normal Wikipedia article discussing the issue of the various proposals/arguments around Fair Use in Australia over the years. I believe it is now up to beyond-minimum-standard for Wikipedias normal article creation criteria (whilst still not being 'finished' obviously), but I've put it up for article-creation-review just for the avoidance of doubt in case someone is worried my launching the article myself is a COI. If you, or others tagged here, would like to edit and improve the draft article - go right ahead! If you (or others) feel comfortable approving it for mainspace, feel free.

:I don't think it's quite ready for article space yet. There is nothing, for example on the response by [[Copyright Agency Ltd]] to proposals (which was mentioned in the original discussion).

Hey, I've seen your revert and read the header of [[:Category:Antisemitism_in_the_United_States]]. But what's written there is pretty weird, because antisemitism is something completely different than criticism of Judaism. Criticism pre-supposes scholarship, demonstrated by e.g. writing books or articles about the topic, which is not what antisemitism is about. And Judaism refers to the religious beliefs and practices, while antisemitism refers to ethnicity. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 20:34, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
:Yes, I have no opinions about whether he can be categorised as a "critic", but the scope of the antisemitism categories were fixed a few years ago, and it was decided not to have antisemites in them.

Hi, SA. 

As an OT scholar, you may be familiar (or like to know more about this cite):   
[[John Romer (Egyptologist)|Romer, John]] ''Testament: The Bible and History'', [https://books.google.com/books/about/Testament.html?id=4VyfQgAACAAJ&hl=en Abstract.] (New York: Henry Holt & Co., 1988).
I have cited the book @  https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Irenaeus&diff=697775004&oldid=697773019  in the section Making the Choice: Irenaeus of Lyon, pp. 198-202 (for an Edit described as: 
2nd para.,last sent.↑2:His polemic credited for laying out"orthodoxies of Christian church, its faith, its preaching&books that it held as sacred authority0.

Romer for the OT relied esp. on archeological evidence.  Also relying on the latter & genetics (like, whoa!), hot of the press is this book:   Steven Weitzman, ''The Origin of the Jews'', Princeton, 394 pp.  (rev. in the Wall Street Journal, https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-search-of-the-origin-of-the-jews-1499726881  7.11.17  (!), p.

== Cancelled your undo on the movement of Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact theories to Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact ==

The recent peer reviewed study summarizing the overwhelming evidence for Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact, in addition to the two known historic cases, conclusively establishes Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. The title 'theories', therefore, is inaccurate and misleading, being a subjective spin rather than an objective content classification.

Hence, '''the page needed to be renamed.'''

I therefore renamed the page from [[Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact theories]] to [[Pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact]], which you undid, further suggesting we have an RM discussion about it. I do not doubt the outcome of such a discussion would be in favor of the move.

If you have some kind of reason you believe makes sense to resist or delay such a move, even though...
* High profile peer reviewed scientific literature clearly states the prior views are now outmoded.
* The content of the article does not align with the title to which you reverted the article. 
... then please put it forward on the talk page [[Talk:Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_contact_theories#Moved_to_Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_contact|over here]] where it can be discussed. If people wish to have a formal RM discussion, that's fine, but I really don't see how anyone could reasonably and objectively agree with the old page title and disagree with the new one.

In the mean time, to prevent an nonsensical title for a well developed article, I have just now re-instated the move pending the presentation of any meaningful reason not to make it. Alternate options (new page title entirely, merge, etc.) are also potentially viable. [[User:Pratyeka|prat]] ([[User talk:Pratyeka|talk]]) 03:09, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

* You said 'please do not move war' but re-moved the page even though I explained why it is not suitable with the old title. You have given no evidence at all for your perspective. Please state it [[Talk:Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_contact_theories#Moved_to_Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_contact|over here]] where it can be discussed.

==Proposed article deletion==
Hi a while ago you created the article [[2 Samuel 23]], which is a stub.  I've copied the content from this article into the larger article on [[Books of Samuel]], and now that I've done this, I've proposed the article you created for deletion.  All the best [[User:Mccapra|Mccapra]] ([[User talk:Mccapra|talk]]) 06:40, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest|WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest]] ==
Hi. Thankyou for your participation in the challenge series or/and contests. In November [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest|The Women in Red World Contest]] is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There will be over $4000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. If this would appeal to you and you think you'd be interested in contributing new articles on women during this month for your region or wherever please sign up in the participants section. The articles done may also count towards the ongoing challenge. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate and raise money to buy books about women for others to use, this is also fine. Help would also be appreciated in drawing up the lists of missing articles. If you think of any missing articles please add them to the sub lists by continent at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest/Missing articles|Missing articles]]. Thankyou, and if taking part, good luck!♦ [[User:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 17:57, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:P. Kyle McCarter Jr.]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[:P. Kyle McCarter Jr.]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>Does not meet [[WP:GNG|notability requirements]].</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:P. Kyle McCarter Jr.|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[Special:Contributions/86.20.193.222|86.20.193.222]] ([[User talk:86.20.193.222|talk]]) 19:07, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
