[edit] Can you fix this?

I simply cut and pasted the text to reverse them... Dovi 08:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted edit

I reverted this edit, not sure how chapter 9 of an unreatled work could be the previous chapter to chapter 1. Jeepday (talk) 00:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for the explanation, sounds reasonable. Jeepday (talk) 23:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Admin?

Hello, since I incorrectly reverted one of your edits, I did a little research on your edit history and I was wondering if you have considered becoming an Admin? I see you are in and out of WS, with a long edit history and a highly specialized interest and knowledge. I also looked at your SUL which is interesting. I see you turned down a request for admin at Wikipedia over a year ago [1], and have not seen it brought up since. WS is differetnt the WP, and I am sure you realize the differences between them. Would you consider being nominated for admin here? Jeepday (talk) 01:11, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for your response, if you should feel so inclined let me know :) Happy editing Jeepday (talk) 23:29, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you are here to stay; and thank goodness for that! ;-)

I have asked many Wikipedians if they would come and take the reigns of the Open Mishnah Project, but they all declined.

Our rule of thumb here is that anyone who knows what they are doing is able to be trusted with the tools. You do not need to use the tools often. I think you will find it useful to be an admin here, especially since Dovi is now focusing on Hebrew Wikisource.

If you dont use the admin tools at all, or if you disappear on us, the tools will be removed after a year of inactivity but they will be given back to you when you return. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 09:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I have just returned from a brief wiki-break. Since, as you point out, the Open Mishnah Project needs an admin, I would be willing to take on those responsibilities at this time. I've already made some contributions to the project pages and templates at any rate, and I would certainly use the admin privileges responsibly. I suppose the next thing is for you to nominate me? --Eliyak T·C 01:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, I've activated the email notification for my talk page so I won't miss any more important messages! --Eliyak T·C 01:34, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated you at Wikisource:Administrators#Eliyak. Thank you. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 04:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. --Eliyak T·C 19:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

You now have adminrights. Good luck! --BirgitteSB 20:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Mishnah Page

Hi,

Sorry about that. I thought I'd managed to get every template that used a version of header/header2, but it looks like I missed some. It should be fixed now--let me know if it doesn't work, but hopefully that should be it. Jude (talk) 05:52, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Ack! Trust me not to check the actual directions on the template. This should be fixed now; I'll go and actually test it instead of assuming. :) Jude (talk) 22:37, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] waflers

Agh! Then I hope I'm right in what I'm doing! Sorry for sticking my nose in, but I couldn't resist after taking a peak. I'm actually looking for a favourite lemon pudding recipe. Getting the text up is probably the most important thing, the formatting is merely nice. I stopped validating the pages because I had some ideas for internal links that are either neat or insane :) Where she uses terms like casserole, italicised in the text, we could link that to the glossary. The index could get the same treatment, but the subpage structure needs sorting first. I thought I would get your view on these enhancements, then I could add the links as I validate. This is a seminal work, glad to help you with it. I can't help with the Mishnah project, unfortunately, but I'm very enthusiastic about this one. Sorry about this ramble — Cygnis insignis (talk) 23:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

[[The Jewish Manual/front matter]] — [[The Jewish Manual]] 
                                                  |
                                              [[The Jewish Manual/Observations]]
                                              [[The Jewish Manual/chapter 1]]
                                              ...
                                              [[The Jewish Manual/chapter 10]]
                                              [[The Jewish Manual/The Toilette]]

I try to put the contents at the top of the parent page, for navigation, so I subpage the 'front matter' to a link at "previous= " in the header. The glossary would appear below the contents as it is not listed in them. I would lump the Toilette chapters together, but link the contents to page targets; The Jewish Manual/Toilette#215 will open at ch. VI "Effects of Diet on the Complexion" (p. 215). I put <span id="casserole"> to show how The Jewish Manual#casserole targets that glossary entry. Cygnis insignis (talk) 03:16, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

You may be right, I don't know the first thing about it. I use wiki markup or a template, which I find intuitive and neat. If I need something else, I ask Hesperian. Cygnis insignis (talk) 03:58, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Pages 5 and 6 in Ch.I don't have rule breaks. A trivial thing, so I would be inclined to insert them between the trnsclsns in main space. Or ignore it. Cygnis insignis (talk) 08:53, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I was convinced to drop roman numerals for titles, you might want to consider that. Cygnis insignis (talk) 08:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me butting in, a point on anchors ... don't ignore the shortcut version of {{anchor}} used as {{anchor|chorissa}}. Also do look at the shortcuts that you can do with {{page}}. -- billinghurst (talk) 08:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Nice one! I'll run through it, if you like, I remember seeing two spellings of chorissa ;-) The subpages could be marked %100 at the same time, but as with the following suggestion, you may want the satisfaction of ticking that checkbox. You could semi-protect now, although you should refer to C.4 and consider putting it up here. Cygnis insignis (talk) 09:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi I wanted to introduce myself to you as i see that you are involved in the open mishna project. I was living in israel for 4 years and now im back in south africa. I would like to contribute to the project.

Looking forward to hearing from you —unsigned comment by Sevel (talk) .

[edit] Need a Hebrew aide

At User talk:Israel.M I have someone who has basic English, which is far better than my non-existent Hebrew. He is trying to create an Index: page at heWS, and I cannot even tell which namespace that is in Hebrew. I am really happy to help the person with instructions, or point and load, however, I am like a mime artist performing in the dark!  :-( Thanks if you can be of assistance, or can find someone who can. billinghurst (talk) 09:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
