Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- pm_shef 15:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm glad you like the signature thing, and it's great that you're so into contributing! We need more editors like you. In terms of the Jewlicious thing, the reason it shouldn't really be there is because its unencyclopedic. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while it is not a paper encyclopedia, certain things just don't really belong. The other issue is that the information contained there isn't really verifiable. Feel free to leave a comment on my talk page if you have any questions! -- pm_shef 19:57, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Well, I've to all kinds of wikipedia articles before but this is the first time anyone's taken umbrage with one of my contributions! That having been said, what ought to be the role of blogs in wikipedia articles? I'd leave a comment on your talk page but it seems y'all have way more important things to discuss like vandalism! Sheesh. But I digress. Jewlicious is cited as a source elsewhere on Wikipedia and I am uncertain what you mean by verifiable. This is an issue that transcends this particular attempted contribution. These are criticisms that can be levelled against any blog - some would say any news source too. But thats not at issue now. I have tons of stuff I can contribute to this and other Jewish Wikipedia entries. Should I ignore all blog-based entries? --Yallanu 21:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• No need to ignore all of them, just take a look at which ones are verifiable (check the link for more info) and are trustworthy sources. If you'd like to contribute to other Jewish articles, you might want to check out; the Jewish History Wikiproject, the general Judaism Wikiproject and the Israel Wikipedia noticeboard. Also, don't worry about the ongoing discussion on my talkpage, feel free to post all you want, that's what its there for! -- pm_shef 22:38, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Michael Oren.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.
