Your request

I certainly believe that you're who you say you are, but if you are you know of at least three ways of contacting me that will prove it. Do so by one of them and I'll remove the template. And welcome/shalom. Steve Smith (talk) (formerly Sarcasticidealist) 03:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Good work!

Thank you for translating the Baka, Jerusalem article! Please keep up the good work! Just one note however, if you have sources for the text, it would make it even better. Unfortunately, Hebrew Misplaced Pages works without sources, which is different from English Misplaced Pages. Thanks again and cheers, Ynhockey 20:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi Chutznik. I noticed that when you copy-pasted the neighborhood of Jerusalem template you accidentally also included the category. As userpages don't belong in categories I removed it. Have a nice day. JinJerusalem (talk) 12:24, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I had not noticed. No problem. Chutznik (talk) 00:47, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Lady Starlight

Please see my comment regarding your !vote and the new "Source Analysis" table at the aforementioned AfD. Both may make you reconsider your !vote. Thanks, Dale 11:31, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Shihab Dehlvi

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Shihab Dehlvi, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks! —Paul A (talk) 02:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Previous username?

Do you have a previous username you would like to disclose? Hipocrite (talk) 15:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Beit Yaakov (Jerusalem)"

A page you created, Beit Yaakov (Jerusalem), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is in a foreign language and exists on another Wikimedia project.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. CalumH93 (talk) 10:53, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mahane Yehuda

According to WP:HE it should be Mahaneh Yehuda Market, but this is not the only naming convention that should be considered. They should definitely be consistent though. Please start a discussion about it at Talk:Mahane Yehuda Market. —Ynhockey 17:58, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

G'day Chutznik

I noticed that you're brave / foolish enough to stick your hand up for the Arbcom this year - I'm planning on doing some short audio interviews with as many candidates as I can manage, so am hoping that you might be interested in having a 15 / 20 minute chat at a moment of your convenience? - I'll be using Skype to make and record the conversation, and my ID is 'Privatemusings' - I can happily call you on a landline or cell / mobile, but perhaps you are also on Skype, and don't mind sharing your ID with me? - the slowish start to nominations might give me a bit of a head start this year, so if you're up for it, lets find a suitable time, and give it a go! - maybe the best next step is for you to indicate some times you might be able to be available, or ask any questions you might have? Hope you're good, and good luck! Privatemusings (talk) 00:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

just checking in, and making sure you've noticed the above :-) - hopefully our paths might cross soonish... Privatemusings (talk) 02:40, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Alternate accounts

Hello Chutznik, just a query about your return and candidacy in the election. Given that you abandoned your previous accounts under the Right to Vanish and are now standing on their merits, would you object to them being restored so that editors can see the full context of your candidacy? Regards,  Skomorokh, barbarian  02:56, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply; per this comment, I have uprotected and redirected the following accounts to your current userpage, and restored and unprotected the talkpages where appropriate: User:Placeholder account, User:Shalom, User:Buki ben Yogli, User:Crystal whacker, User:Kivel, User:Shalom Yechiel. Regards,  Skomorokh, barbarian  02:50, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Sorry if that took you more time than it really should have. I might be adding a couple of other names to that list soon; I will let you know. Chutznik (talk) 05:27, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Urgent notification

Dear Chutznik, It's just as well I looked at your questions page: you've transcluded the wrong page, which is full of corrections, strike-throughs, etc, is not thematically arranged, and does not include several late questions. The right transclusion is of the template. I suggest you copy over the answers you've already provided, where they are applicable. I'm sorry if there's been a misunderstanding, and if the instructions need to be clearer, please let us know at the election talk page. Tony (talk) 12:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC) Also, you'll find built in to the GQ template is a fresh section header at the bottom for your individual questions, which in your case appear to start with Kirill's. Tony (talk) 12:41, 11 November 2009 (UTC) PPS I suggest you add {{ACEQuestions}} to the top and cut and paste your existing answers upwards, where possible. Then remove the old set of General Questions. Tony (talk) 13:02, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Echoing what Tony said - you'll want to add {{subst:ACEQuestions}} to the questions page, then cut/paste your answers to the questions you've already gotten to. I know you have some individual questions as well - those will go below the proper header. Thanks! UltraExactZZ ~ Evidence 00:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Minor factual correction

Hi Chutznik - I'm the ArbCom clerk for the case that involved Piotrus and I noticed you discuss his "ArbCom" desysop. For the record, ArbCom did not officially desysop him. He admin bit was temporarily removed for the duration of the case (a standard procedure whever an admin is a central subject of a case). A formal motion to permanently desysop him was then being voted on when Piotrus resigned "under controversial circumstances". Cheers Manning (talk) 23:05, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

I can correct that in my statement. To the best of my knowledge ArbCom has not done this previously. It has allowed an admin to retain adminship while a case is pending. Thanks for pointing this out. Chutznik (talk) 02:31, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

If you're up late-ish

and have had the chance to get skype installed - I'm looking for you as I type :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 03:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
