User name
[edit]Would it be possible to ask you to change your username? Such names tend to be against policy. To change it please see Wikipedia:Changing Usernames. ems 05:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
- On what basis? "Tend to be against policy" is pretty vague. No one else seems to mind. Most people have no idea who Judah haNasi was, so it makes no difference to the vast majority of them, any more than the name Sandford Fleming would. Most of my edits involve linking words already in articles or minor rewordings to improve clarity. For instance, in the Adolf Hitler article I changed the ambiguous "pursued an aggressive foreign policy" to "pursued a foreign policy of military aggression", changed "triggered WWII" to "started WII by invading Poland", and added that his actions resulted in 62 million dead. I have also made comments in the Talk:Messiah page which many people seem to agree with. Frankly, from what I have seen of other people's reactions to your edits and comments, I'd say that your view is pretty much limited to you. Judah haNasi 07:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- I also notice that you are violating Wikipedia policy by using [Ems2|ems] after you were told you could not adopt some other user's account. Judah haNasi 07:20, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Problem with your Judah haNasi user name
[edit]Hi, please try to change your user name because it clashes with the real Judah haNasi name and article. The REAL Judah haNasi is a major figure in Jewish history because of his role in establishing the Mishnah, the basis of the Talmud and this should be reason enough for you to change to a less confusing user name. See the sign-in page: "Username should not contain: offensive, confusing, or unreadable text or characters names of celebrities, notable world figures or events, or known Wikipedians" and your user name creates BOTH confusion and is based on a Jewish notable world figure. See Choosing a username: "The best username is typically your real name, a longstanding Internet pen name, or a new name that you use only for Wikipedia, depending on how much of your anonymity you want to preserve whilst editing. Please pick a username that helps us to write an encyclopedia. That means picking a name that you're comfortable writing under, but it also means picking a name that others are comfortable seeing and collaborating with. Remember that a controversial name may colour other users' perspective on your own credibility or political viewpoint. In addition, Wikipedia is a world-wide source book, so take care to avoid anything that might cause offence to someone from a different culture, religion, or ethnic group." Finally, please see Wikipedia:Changing username. Thank you for giving this matter your serious attention. IZAK 05:35, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Your name
[edit]Hi Judah, I see a couple of editors have already asked you to change your user name. We're not supposed to use the names of notable world figures, for a number of reasons. As you've only made 122 edits with this account, it would be better to change it now, rather than risk losing it at a later date. You can redirect this page to your new page so that people will know it's you. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 10:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- You don't have to worry. There is a self-appointed clique of three editors, Eliezer, IZAK, and EMs2, who think they have the right to edit anything involving the words "Jewish" or "Judaism" to whatever their personal opinion is, regardless of how well documented text may be. They harass anyone they disagree with by constantly gutting the person's edits even on unrelated articles until the person gets disgusted and stops contributing. One of them picks up on an idea and gets one or the other to back him up. I've seen it over and over with their edits on certain articles. If this is what the Wikipedia editor community is like, I'm not going to waste my time. BYE
- Just a minute please, there is no reason for you to hurl all these insults. You have deliberately chosen for yourself a "user name" that exactly matches the name of one of Judaism's holiest personalities, with the exact same spelling and lettering as it appears on Wikipedia, and thereby trivializing it. Some editors on Wikipedia are well-informed about all aspects of Judaism and take the subject seriously, and wish to see that it's subject/s are respected. What is wrong with that? Obviously you fail to see the depth of the problem, and instead of doing the calm and logical thing, of getting another user name (how about User:Mr.Friendly ?) you instead spout venom at people who care deeply about the subject and then "walk off" in a huff, a reaction that is just simply not reasonable.
