Hebrew[edit]

Hi Shlomo! Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you will find this a place worth spending your time. As other places, where many people work together, Wikipedia is relying on a few (not so many) rules which everybody is expected to follow. One of the major cornerstones is the idea that Wikipedia should only contain information in the articles which can be verified in reliable published literature. That does not necessarily mean that this information is always correct. Whether something is factually correct or not will always be a subject of debate; whether something is published or not is verifiable. For that reason we need to restrict ourselves to information to which we can find a published source. In this spirit I was forced to revert your entry on Semitic languages, where you changed the number of Hebrew speakers from 5 million to 10 million. Personally I don't know how many people speak Hebrew as their mother tongue. It could well be 10 million. What I do know is that the source cited with the number in the text gives the number as roughly five million, and for that reason we have to stick to that number. Now what you can do is to find a reliable published source which supports your claim of 10 million, and cite it instead of the source given in the text. Then all would be well. Just please do not change information, especially information referenced by a source, when you cannot provide a different reliable source supporting your claim. In such cases other users will revert your edits. In any case, continue editing the Wikipedia, and be bold. In most cases your contributions will be valuable; when in some cases you inadvertently violate a rule, you will learn from this experience and become a better editor. Greetings!

Abraham Isaac Kook[edit]

Is there an experienced editor fluent in English and Hebrew, who knows how to properly add the critically important supporting document and picture links presented on the talk page, to the article page? Ksavyadkodesh (talk) 18:16, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
