R' Aharon Leib [however you spell it]

I see that you have been involved in the repeated movings of Aharon Leib Shteinman. It happens that the most common spelling of his name is Aharon Leib Steinman - you can check Google. I just want to make sure that I'm not the only one for whom this is an obvious decision. Kol tuv, DLand^TALK 21:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, then - let's try to build consensus. I have posted at Talk:Aharon Leib Shteinman. --DLand^TALK 22:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

William Cohen

Hi Crazy Russian - how is everything? Could you help resolve a dispute before it goes to arbitration? Back in August I took a photograph of former Secretary of Defense William Cohen. It's a good photograph; he had just written a fiction novel. I also took some photographs of he and his wife Janet Langhart. They liked the photographs so much they wrote to tell me so; Janet Langhart even said she was glad I was able to supply an updated photograph of her husband to replace the goofy Department of Defense photograph found on his page. I still have these e-mails.

BCV, another editor, is insistent that we keep all the Department of Defense photographs on every page of every former Secretary of Defense. His argument is it creates consistency. My argument is that if an editor has a decent updated photograph they are willing to release that an updated photograph should go on an updated encyclopedia page. Another user on August 22nd also kept this change (though he moved the photograph of Cohen and Langhart down to the bottom - with which I agreed).

I've asked for other editors on the page to comment, but to no avail. Cohen is not particularly old; under BCV's reasoning, Wikipedia will forever keep a 1997 photograph up. I don't think it makes a lot of sense, especially since the man is now in a new phase of his life and continues to work.

Can you help to arbitrate this? I'm a bit tired of the revert war. Thanks for any help. --DavidShankBone 22:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for weighing in - much appreciated. --DavidShankBone 22:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Crz, would you mind reverting this back to the pre-3RR version? It's currently protected on Chussid's version with the link to the personal website. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not going to do that. You may very well be right, but I am not editing the protected page crz crztalk 23:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You protected it. :-) It's quite normal to revert to a pre-3RR version before protecting a page, because otherwise the protection rewards the violator. But it's up to you; I don't want to interfere with your admin decisions. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

It would be tantamount to joining the editwar. Figure it out, ask some nonjews for input on whether the links are up to WP:EL, and then we can all remove it together once it's unprotected. crz crztalk 23:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

As I said, it's up to you, but it is not tantamount to joining the edit war; it is perfectly normal to revert to a pre-3RR version before protecting. I'm also not sure what your "nonjews" comment means. This has nothing to do with Jews or non-Jews. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm ... you're suggesting Jewish editors are inherently biased. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 23:26, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, first, lots of non-Jews hold pre-conceived ideas about Israel too, but more importantly, the dispute was about whether the link is to a reliable website or to a personal website, and being able to judge that has nothing to do with one's views on Israel.

Faraday Hall

Hi, just looking for your advice on this (albeit trivial) one. You declined my CSD (I proposed non-notability) and suggested a merge back into the Uni article. Does that preclude me from listing in AfD? The only precedence is this prior AfD for another hall at the same uni. Loughboorough is my alma mater which is why I pay a passing interest. I don't have a vested interest other than these things aren't really notable for their own articles. Thanks for you time. --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 00:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Reliable Sources on Julia Allison

Glamour Magazine is a reliable source. Are magazines not reliable sources, anymore? Bearly541 01:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Appreciate the help, but didn't I put an "inuse" template on the page? I will fix it up... don't worry. —Dfass 03:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
