[edit] User page
Hello! I'd advise you to put something (anything) on your user page. It makes your username show up in blue. Somehow, this may make some people less wary of your edits. HKT 6 July 2005 16:12 (UTC)
[edit] Questions
Thanks for asking! First of all, signing your name can be done by typing 4 tildes (i.e., ~~~~) after your posts. This is appropriate everywhere except on edits to articles. Basically, if you're airing your opinions about something on a talk page or vote page, sign your name. Secondly, you can start your user page by clicking on the red tab above (that says "user page"). This will allow you to access this page (and, for starters, to create the page). Instructions are given along the way. Thirdly, red letters mean a page that is currently non-existent, while blue means that the page exists. Either way, clicking on those colored letters leads to that page. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. HKT 6 July 2005 17:35 (UTC)
[edit] Maimonides
Hello, I wonder if you could explain your edit on the Maimonides page? How many medieval Jewish philosophers were there who influenced the non-Jewish world? It seems to me that "a few" is synonymous with "various." Thank you, Yoninah 08:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Seventh Party System
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Seventh Party System, 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 Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Seventh Party System. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- I've put the reason in the 'Edit summary' comment when removing the template. Thanks, Joseph 17:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mark V. Hurd
Your last edit makes it sounds like Mark Hurd was Chairman of HP (in addition to his other roles) since 1 June 2005 which is not true. Please clarify the text.
[edit] Sixth Party system
I have no idea what happened to the article. I had not nominated it for deletion (either through speedy deletion, ProD or AfD), and had not noticed any one else doing so (but I didn not have the article on my watch list). You can always ask about it at WP:DRV, I suppose. I did not feel the need to have this article (as you well know), but I have not taken any action to get rid of it. Sorry I can't help you any further! 11:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
The article was in fact deleted through the WP:PROD system. Since I saw that you asked for it to be undeleted, I have restored it. The article is at Sixth Party System. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Disappeared again after having just survived its AfD. Go figure. Joseph 19:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[1] appears to explain the situation. The long and short is "not my doing, and I don't really have any investment in the outcome besides a general distaste for DRV." Phil Sandifer 19:51, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- It does not seem to have, however current practice is to defer to DRV consensus if it chooses to uphold out-of-process deletions. Phil Sandifer 21:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Natan Slifkin
I see you are also interested in Natan Slifkin. Please review these articles, because I have run up against an intransigent editor:
Perhaps you could also review the changes the same editor has made to Natan Slifkin. He does not come from the Jewish perspective, and he seems to be following me around and looking for ways to harass me. --Metzenberg 05:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
