Hi to everyone and welcome to my page. While I have been an avid user of Wikipedia for a long time this is the first time I am logging in with the intention of creating articles in Wikipedia.

With a background in the orthodox Jewish community and in different countries I feel I can contribute a lot in areas that are, at present, not very informed. Josh Is Dead (talk) 10:45, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

removed comment.

I removed your comment for a few reasons. One, You were replying in a dead section. That section had not had comments for well over a year, and the matter was settled. Two, your post was far more about arguing a theological point with another user then with talking about the article, which runs afoul of WP:FORUM, which talks about improper uses of a Wikipedia article talk page. Third, because my attention was called to how old material on the page was, I made the decision to archive, and decided that editors choosing to discuss the article, and not other editors, can always tart new section on the talk page. None of it should be taken as any personal slight. Feel free to discuss the article, not editors, on that, or any, talk page. ThuranX (talk) 22:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
