Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 New York City tornadoes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breezy Point (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Haredim and modern technology. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Haredim#Practices_and_beliefs. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Haredim#Practices_and_beliefs – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page. If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Shashwat986 → talk 21:53, 19 September 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for September 25Hi.

As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.
These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions. Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary. This notice is only effective if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:25, 18 November 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for November 19Hi.

I recommend you to take a look at other featured portals and implement the random rotation component. In the past, we have found that the maintainer "abandoned" updating the portal as soon as it's promoted to featured status. Having rotating component means that the portal can be maintained much less frequently yet presenting different types of information each time a visitor sees the portal page.

Unfortunately, you've frequently used the formulation "...X passed away". This is specifically contraindicated by the guidelines at WP:EUPHEMISM: "The word died is neutral and accurate; avoid euphemisms such as passed away". (Italics and Wikilink in original.)

Have a great holiday season! Edits to Jewish holidays and Yom KippurHi. Just to let you know: I think Debresser (talk · contribs) was correct to undo your edits on Jewish holidays. The "Jewish holidays or Jewish festivals" to "Jewish holidays or festivals" is stylistic, and I wouldn't have bothered on that one. But on the other two:
So here's what's happening:
Remember that not everyone reading these articles knows all the Torah you do, that some of these halachic topics are complex, and that not every article is the right venue for a discussion of complex halachic topics. (I must note: I'm studiously trying to avoid bringing complex issues into the Jewish holidays article because it is a survey article, intended to give a very high-level overview. It is not itself intended to cover these holidays in great detail, but to point people to articles with more detail.)

WikiCup 2013 January newsletterSignups are now closed; we have our final 127 contestants for this year's competition. 64 contestants will make it to the next round at the end of February, but we're already seeing strong scoring compared to previous years. Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) currently leads, with 358 points. At this stage in 2012, the leader ( Grapple X (submissions)) had 342 points, while in 2011, the leader had 228 points. We also have a large number of scorers when compared with this stage in previous years. 12george1 (submissions) was the first competitor to score this year, as he was last year, with a detailed good article review. Some other firsts:
Featured articles, portals and topics, as well as good topics, are yet to feature in the competition. This year, the bonus points system has been reworked, with bonus points on offer for old articles prepared for did you know, and "multiplier" points reworked to become more linear. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There have been some teething problems as the bot has worked its way around the new system, but issues should mostly be ironed out- please report any problems to the WikiCup talk page. Here are some participants worthy of note with regards to the bonus points:
Also, a quick mention of The C of E (submissions), who may well have already written the oddest article of the WikiCup this year: did you know that the Fucking mayor objected to Fucking Hell on the grounds that there was no Fucking brewery? The gauntlet has been thrown down; can anyone beat it? If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
