Translation of official sources

Greetings, Zozoulia! I reverted your recent edit to Roads in Israel. The reason is that, although your words may seem fitting, they do not reflect the local official terminology used by the Israel Ministry of Transport (MOT). If we are going to say: "Roads in Israel are categorized as...", should we use American, British or German terminology? Surely we should use the official terminology of the Israel MOT. These are, after all Israeli roads. I agree that some of the points insinuated by your edit should be added to the section which you edited, eg, that what you call Motorways (Controlled-access highways) may have 1, 2 or 3 numerals. However, it is more correct to say that there are some "Inter-City roads" (such as Highway 50) or "Regional roads (such as Route 531)" which are in fact "Controlled-access highways". However your edit, I believe, is simply an incorrect translation of official terminology. If you believe differently, I hope you will open a discussion on the Talk:Roads in Israel page. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 12:41, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Teahouse!

May an editor cite as a reference a previous edition of a newspaper article that was re-edited by the journalists who wrote it and no longer contains the information that the editor wishes to cite and is no longer posted on the newspaper web site?

from: Zozoulia

I just happened across your page and saw your question. I would say yes, but under certain conditions. What article are you thinking of, and when did you access it? ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 22:55, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anastasia [Missionedit] The article in question is entitled Barry Freundel, the Peeping Tom rabbi who just plead guilty to 52 counts of voyeurism. The other editor wanted to add the following at the end of the article:

After Freundel pleaded guilty to charges of voyeurism, The Washington Post noted the impact of his case on the Jewish community. His situation has highlighted fissures within the modern Orthodox community regarding the role of women and about the shortage of accountability by religious leaders. Freundel's crimes also sparked debate about how converts to Judaism are treated, given that some of those he converted complained about their continued "outsider" status, contrasting Judaism with religions such as Christianity and Islam, which embrace converts more enthusiastically. The Washington Post later modified the article to delete these comments^[1]^[2]

The Washington Post, however, removed this statement about converts to Judaism, Christianity and Islam from the text as it appears on their site. The other editor linked to a cached version on an unrelated web site. I removed it, contending that by re-editing the text the newspaper was tacitly admitting a reservation, inaccuracy or unsubstantiated generalization (which it clearly was, which is another violation of Wikipedia policy). Once cannot cite three reporters who have clearly changed their minds about the veracity of their text in support of an otherwise unsupported tendentious point. {{subst:signed|Zozoulia}} {{time}} (talk) 10:56, 24 February 2015 (UTC) Zozoulia[reply]

Ah, I see. Sometimes it is fine to include/cite information that has been removed from a source; but, considering it is controversial info, you were right in having reservations. I would say that in this case, the information should not be cited/used to be safe. If you want a more concrete answer to your question, maybe you should ask it at the Wikipedia:Help desk (with full a explanation of the scenario). Always better to get a second opinion :) ~ Anastasia [Missionedit] (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous page move

I see that you have erroneously moved an article into the Wikipedia: namespace at Wikipedia:Tsuriel Raphael. It should be in the article namespace at Tsuriel Raphael but you'll need to get an administrator to move it there. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:30, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I notice also that there is something wrong with your signature on your Teahouse question messages. It appears as {{subst:signed|Zozoulia}} {{time}} (talk) 15:46, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that you tried to customise your signature but messed it up, so I suggest that you reset it to normal. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:36, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right, are you an administrator? Could you do that and un-do my mistake? {{subst:signed|Zozoulia}} {{time}} (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If I were an administrator, I wouldn't have told you that you needed to ask an administrator. See Wikipedia:Requested moves. And your signature is still wrong. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:59, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved the article back to the article space at Tsuriel Raphael. Zozoulia, when you move an article, you need to select "(Article)", not "Wikipedia", in the left-hand drop-down menu. JohnCD (talk) 20:03, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your signature

To fix your signature, I advise first resetting it to the basic standard, by clicking "Preferences" at the top of the screen and then, on the "User profile" tab, uncheck the box marked "Treat the above as wiki markup", and clear the box immediately above it. That will give you the standard signature, like the one I use, when you type ~~~~ at the end of a message. Then, if you want to customise your signature, read WP:Signatures for advice on how to do it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Now let's see if it works. Zozoulia (talk) 07:22, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It does! JohnCD (talk) 14:19, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zozoulia,

Just a heads-up that you don't need to use ~~~~ in edit summaries, as any page that shows your edit summary will show your username anyway. Also, tildes in edit summaries don't convert into signatures.

Please stop edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Israel-related animal conspiracy theories. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

You make poor faith edits and wild accusations, including the insinuation of anti-semitism (I edit lots of articles on Japan, and created the article on a Reggae artist named Jesse Royal, why no mention of that?) I will report you for this. But in the meantime, stop edit-warring. It's not good for Wikipedia. Solntsa90 (talk) 05:38, 31 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AlmaBeta: If Iran is so supportive of independence for 4.5 million Palestinian Arabs, why shouldn't it be expected to be consistent by granting independence to 4.5 million Ahwaz Arabs?

Zozoulia (talk) 04:08, 21 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I myself support the creation of state of Kurdistan because having a non-Arab, secular and independent country is beneficial to the region and the whole Middle East but not Ahwaz which is Arab and more likely to be another Saudi Arabia's puppet state. I live in Iran and have great admiration for the people of Israel, and Jews in general. Cheers --AlmaBeta (talk) 04:02, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Zozoulia/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Safe Drive Systems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:34, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also responded as follows on the CoI page:

1. Zvi Harry Hurwitz is not a business. He was an Israeli diplomat, journalist and political operative. The insinuation that I was paid for it is ludicrous. The man is dead. I knew him and once worked with him some 35 years ago and wrote the article for altruistic reasons alone.

2. Zohar Zisapel, together with his brother Yehuda, founded Israel's first home-grown hi-tech start-up group. Both brothers have served as chairmen of the country's electronics industry association. As the article notes, he is often called the "Bill Gates of Israel" in the media. The industry he created now employs something like 10% of the Israeli workforce. Perhaps calling him the "Bill Gates of Israel" is an understatement. I wrote the article together with a friend who is also a Wikipedia contributor, and both of us know the Zisapels (so do thousands of other Israelis who have been involved in the hi-tech sector and in the various charities they support, but we received no payment. In fact, Zohar was unaware we wrote the article and may even be unaware that it exists -- we've never spoken to him about it.

3. I wrote the article on Safe Drive Systems after it's Israeli competitor, Mobileye, was purchased by Intel for $15 billion. Mobileye, apart from having its own article, is mentioned in the Intel and Intel Mobile Communications articles (and maybe more). Because I know people who work in both Mobileye and Safe Drive Systems, I also know that it is inherently unfair to host an article about one and not to have one about the other, since collision detection technology is not unique to Mobileye. That would be akin to having an article about the iPhone without one for Android. Zozoulia (talk) 06:12, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User_talk:GreenC I'm not sure what you're referring to. I didn't delete content. I've also been accused of being a commercial mercenary and taking money from a man who's been dead for almost a decade to write an article about him, so maybe he was the one who removed it. :-) Zozoulia (talk) 04:20, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Might you be interested

Hi Zozoulia, I've created a proposal to begin a WikiProject Georgetown University. Since you're an alumnus of Georgetown, I thought you might be interested to know of this proposal. If you might like to participate in this proposed project or have thoughts on whether it's a good idea, I'd appreciate it if you weighed in. Ergo Sum 05:17, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Senior Wikipedians

WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.

Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.^[a]
Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.^[b]
Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.^[c]

Suggested goals for this project:

To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.

Notes

^ The current name of this project, WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older, is somewhat cumbersome and excludes participation by any users under the age of 70 years.
^ This current minimum age limit of this project is 70 years. A minimum age limit of 60 years should permit the participation of most retired users. The minimum activity level of 50 edits per year is arbitrary. A minimum activity level indicates continued interest. Members who do not meet the minimum activity level shall be moved to inactive status. Members who have died shall be moved to memorial status.
^ A new class of Supporting Members allows those users under 60 years to support the goals of the project. Users approaching the age of 60 years may wish to become supporting members in anticipation of reaching the minimum age limit for members.

Please add your suggestions for this project at Senior Wikipedians. Thank you, Buaidh talk e-mail 01:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't wish to receive any further information about Senior Wikipedians, please remove your username from our notice list. Thanks.

Elder Wikipedians

My proposal to make extensive changes to WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older was a bust, primarily because many users felt that the term "Senior Wikipedian" implied a higher ranking Wikipedia membership. Therefore, I am making two less ambitious proposals:

Proposal #1. Change the name of "WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older" to "WikiProject Elder Wikipedians".

Proposal #2. Drop the minimum age requirement to 60 years.

Please respond to Elder Wikipedians and let us know what you think of each of these proposals.
