Good work

Printable parasha hashevuah.

I understand the reasoning behind linking to mishna links. It makes it easier for online reader. At the same time it implies a certain authority to the link which is unwarranted. It almost saying that this link is the place for mishna; this website is the source and other sites (and books) are copies of this website.

There was a similar problem with ISBN numbers being linked to amazon.com. On the one hand it is very convenient for users who want to know more about the book, but it is also in some way unseemly to cite amazon as the source for books. The solution was to create Special:BookSources which links to all book information on the internet. I think that would be the best solution both for bible verses and for minsha sources. It give the reader appropriate links without forcing a choice on them.

Until there is a better technical solution I think it is best to not link sources to website that are not really the source. Jon513 (talk) 19:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Final arguments in COI complaint against Yehoishophot Oliver, Shlomke, Zsero, Debresser

Is everything okay?When I noticed that Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion hadn't been updated again for a second week, I looked and noticed that you've made no edits at all for the past couple weeks!

Is all well with you? Please let me know if I can be of help.

Good Shabbos. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 17:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your kind note. I have just returned from a trip to Israel, where I did not have the time to keep up my Wikipedia duties. I hope to resume my regular schedule now. Thanks again. I appreciate it. -- Dauster (talk) 10:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly Torah Portion

Thanks for your thoughtful offer. So what would the system you have in mind do? -- Dauster (talk) 02:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening Dauster! This greeting will change depending on the time that you view it. I can do a similar thing so that it will change each week (this is week number 16 of the year). 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 02:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Alas, the calendar for when a Torah portion comes up is pretty darned complicated, and thus the program would take a good deal of work. In the meantime, I am happy to keep updating by hand. Thanks again for the kind offer. -- Dauster (talk) 02:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's why there would need to be a set up edit about once a year. This would link each week to the sedra. It is not too difficult to have it change at midnight on Friday night/Shabbat morning for the next week. 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 03:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. The program for which sedra comes up next appears on (among other sites) Hebcal. By now, the content that we know will change is mostly the date of the Sabbath. I can supply a set of 54 articles, plus combinations of double parshiot. The rest would be Greek to me. -- Dauster (talk) <style>span.GerbrantEditRegexReplaceHit{font-weight:bold;background:lightsteelblue}span.GerbrantEditRegexReplaceHitOff{font-weight:bold;background:mistyrose}span.GerbrantEditRegexReplaceMaskFailed{font-weight:normal;color:red}</style>10:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you start putting the respective content (correct for this year) into Portal:Judaism/Weekly_Torah_portion/Devarim, Portal:Judaism/Weekly_Torah_portion/Vaetchanan etc. I can start to make the system. I'll start it off in my userspace at User:A930913/Parsha^{(Automagical update: Done)} and then move it when it works. 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 18:33, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Roger that. It will take a bit of time. Thanks again. -- Dauster (talk) 23:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mean to rush you, but I'm going on Machane in a week. The autoupdate template is ready, it changes on Shabbat afternoon (around mincha time). Even if you do a few weeks, I can link it in and it will update while I'm away, and then we can continue afterwards. 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 15:14, 18 July 2010 (UTC) [reply]

I've created those pages for the next 8 week, through Yom Kippur. Please let me know if it looks right to you. -- Dauster (talk) 19:25, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely, we just need to keep an eye out in case it malfunctions. Other than that, we shouldn't have to edit it for the next few weeks 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 05:44, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your good thought and work. -- Dauster (talk) 10:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Anything else you are manually updating regularly? 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 16:27, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing comes to mind. But I appreciate your offer. -- Dauster (talk) 21:45, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've plotted out through the end of December. Does something funky need to be done to Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion after that? If you could plot out the format further, I would appreciate it. And l'shana tova. -- Dauster (talk) 10:46, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some code so that it will go beyond 51 for next year, I hope it works, but it might need a retouch at the end of the year. Shana tova, 930913 (Congratulate/Complaints) 23:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article Tahash Timeline

Invitation to take part in a study

IPAB

I replied in that section. I don't doubt you. But, as you know, we have to have sources. If your job doesn't restrict it maybe you could write an op-ed (here's a recent one from a Henry Aaron[2]) or a blog (because Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the topic of the article whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications) and then we could use it in the article. Or here's an idea that might work: self-publish a user subpage like User:Dauster/IPAB and then we could attribute it to you. Jesanj (talk) 14:21, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There was a footnote with the source, the Finance Committee page. Dauster (talk) 09:49, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow. I was talking about when you said "It is important to understanding the creation of IPAB to know that it started as a bipartisan proposal", if that makes a difference. Could you reply at the talk page to the question(s) there? Thanks. Jesanj (talk) 12:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Noach (parsha) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Noach (parsha) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Noach (parsha) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.   — Jess· Δ♥ 05:25, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'm sorry I didn't get your message on the talk page about holding off on "gutting" the article. Even though I stuck my knife into it... I had to in order to make my final decision on it. Due to the sensitivity of the subject, I tried to be easy on the knife by making some improvements to the article rather than just stripping it apart. Please understand. Thanks, Jasonasosa (talk) 13:58, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mann_jess almost convinced me that the parsha pages were worthless... I'm very glad I was not swayed... as I was careful in my initial edit of the Noach parsha page. I'm very happy that we stuck together and fought for these pages. It was a good fight and we won! Had we lost this one, we would have lost them all. This was a big victory for the future of the Parshas on wiki. Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 06:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talkback

		The Religion Barnstar
		Thank you for all your efforts to improve and develop material related to the weekly Torah portions. John Carter (talk) 17:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't check your record, so I don't know whether you have already gotten the Jewish barnstar, and I assumed that you did. If you haven't, I would wonder why, because I think you certainly have earned it.

Yes, I know that I may be someone you see as being the biggest adversary in the dispute about those articles, and I will be honest that maybe I am. I just hope that you know that my disagreement with the articles existing in the encyclopedia is more motivated by my concern about the deluge of POV forking that I anticipate regarding similar articles relating to the Bible, Bhagavad Gita, Vedas, Puranas, and other sources, with probable separate articles regarding each individual related group's individual spin on each of them, than in any sort of reservation about the quality or utility of the material of these articles themselves. If I am wrong, which for the reasons above I hope I'm not, like I said, I intend to copy your efforts with similar articles for each of the groups that don't have them yet. I think you can see I wouldn't want to do that if I thought they were useless or do not deserve to exist somewhere.

I would love to see articles devotional practices of Judaism, and of many if not most other religious groups. Hell, I would love to see matching articles for every subject which has articles in multiple specialist encyclopedias. And I am stunned at the number we still don't have, or have in very poor quality. {{Narses of Kla]] is one of the latter. When I first saw that he had an article in the Christianity content of the Eliade/Jones Encyclopedia of Religion, my reaction was "wtf? who?" But he is important, I guess, and we have at least a stub on him, which is more than can be said about several articles that source has we don't have at all. I wish circumstances allowed us to work on them. But at the same time I think we have to try to enforce our guidelines to keep us from being overrun with trivial articles. I don't think the weekly Torah readings are "trivial" or anything like that, but I do think similar articles about the liturgical readings of some of the really small Christian denominations would be, and "slippery slope" arguments would probably let them qualify for inclusion if these articles remain. Unfortunately.

Anyway, thank you for the effort, and you have my strongest hope that the content of the article remains somewhere in the WF. I would myself be more than happy to help if they wind up being moved elsewhere, and maybe add to them based on the sources I have.

Oh, I think you made a good choice of colleges. I went to USC myself. And thanks again. John Carter (talk) 17:30, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And my daughter is a senior at USC now, too. ;-) -- Dauster (talk) 09:39, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parsha articlesI would be willing to help develop the articles in an encyclopedic fashion if I knew of any encyclopedic sources which had extensive content on them. Unfortunately, I don't. I have in fact checked just about every religious reference book available to me, and there are a lot of them, for encyclopedic articles on them, or any of the other liturgical readings of other faiths. So far, I haven't seen any. Given your position in Washington, I'm thinking maybe you probably have access to some I don't. Honestly, without extant guidelines on how such articles could be constructed, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/Manual of style is only a proposal at this point, I don't have any clear idea how to proceed. Unfortunately.

I know that the next couple of months are probably going to be among the busiest for you, given your profession. But, at this point, although I will try to hit some of the seminary libraries around town here, I don't know what to do to help improve the articles, other than to hope that someone finds some reference sources with articles on such topics that can be used as some form of template.

Anyway, if I am right about your schedule in the future, best of luck with your work, although I think we both hope that luck per se winds up not playing a bigger role than necessary. John Carter (talk) 01:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, John, for your offer to help and good wishes. I've started work to revise the articles along the ways that I perceive the group discussed, and have been working through Deuteronomy, which is read this time of year. So far, I've revised Devarim, Va'etchanan, Eikev, Re'eh, Shoftim, Ki Teitzei, Ki Tavo, and Nitzavim. After I plow through the balance of Deuteronomy, I'll turn to Genesis (as is the Jewish practice). Thanks again for the good wishes for the fall events in my job (for which I must admit that I keep my fingers crossed, as well). All the best -- Dauster (talk) 09:38, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of RepentanceHi, Dauster:

Let's see whether I can concisely explain the edit to numerous Torah-related articles today.

The original problem concerns citations for Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of Repentance, specifically the invalid ISBN 0940118-48-9 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum; it causes a checksum error, which appears on listings for Checkwiki.

On previous days, I could not find an exact fix for this invalid ISBN, so I replaced it with {{oclc|28239393}} {{asin|B000AO991C}}.

For the thousands of ISBNs that I've fixed, only ONE has been nagging at me--Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of Repentance. Today, another invalid ISBN 0940118-48-9 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum appeared, so I decided to double my efforts to find a suitable ISBN. I settled on 978-0-940118-20-1.

You can see that 978-0-940118-20-1 is not an exact fix; it ends with "20" rather than "48". However, it does point to the proper edition of Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of Repentance.

Today, I went back to every Torah-related article that I've edited...and I encountered along the way more instances of the invalid ISBN 0940118-48-9 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum in other articles. Here's the fix that I've settled upon:

{{oclc|28239393}} {{asin|B000AO991C}} ISBN 978-0-940118-20-1

Although ISBNs are the the preferred choice because they create a link to the "Book sources" page, for Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of Repentance, ISBN 978-0-940118-20-1 appears last in the fix because 1) it's not an exact fix and 2) its "Book sources" page gives no hits for Amazon or WorldCat. However, it does provide a hit on Google Books.

oclc appears first in the fix because it's my #2 preferred choice. A page on WorldCat offers many links for a document (second only to an ISBN and its "Book sources" page).

asin uses Amazon's unique id for Mishneh Torah: Hilchot Teshuvah: The Laws of Repentance because Amazon does not have this book indexed by an ISBN.

If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 06:30, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly Torah Portion section of PortalShalom aleikhem, Dauster:

You seem to be the one who has been working on these things recently, so I thought I'd approach you on this topic.

Please have a look at my sandbox, as well as its two subpages User:StevenJ81/sandbox/testpage and User:StevenJ81/sandbox/WTpI. The purpose of this is to reduce the amount of oversight this section of the portal page requires going forward. The specific things that it accomplishes are:

• Making the section about the parsha transclude with the correct dates perpetually, without the need to update each parsha's page every year. (At most, it would require the page cache to be refreshed, and it may not even require that.)
• Adding a footer pointing to the parsha in Israel when it differs from that outside Israel (as is currently true).
• Reducing the number of pages requiring manual oversight to one (the driving template at Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion itself).

I suppose the one negative to this approach is that opening any of the individual parsha pages ([[:Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion/xxx]]) will display the current week's dates, no matter what time of year it is. But my assumption here is that people don't visit these short description pages except when going through the portal during that particular week of the year. If people are looking for information about any parsha in general terms, they'll go to the standard page in article space.

Let me know what you think about this approach. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:47, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Steven, you appear to have done a nice job addressing this. I appreciate your work on this. -- Dauster (talk) 10:11, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. So far, I have adjusted the main template through 5776, imported the "Weekly Torah portion in Israel" subpage into the Portal space, and edited all of the "Weekly Torah portion/xxx" pages that are sometimes read on different dates in Israel and chutz la'aretz (Vayakhel through Masei, including both combined and separate parshiot, and including Pesach Day VIII). I think I'll leave things alone for a couple of weeks now and make sure everything is working properly before I update the rest of the parsha pages.

I also created portal pages for "Shavuot Day II" and "Chukat-Balak"; these don't happen for a while, but I decided to do this while I was paging through the parshiot of that time of year.

The links to the Conservative movement Torah commentaries are all stale. Any thoughts about how to handle? If we find live links, you don't happen to have a bot that can update all the pages automatically, do you? StevenJ81 (talk) 14:34, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Steven, for flagging those dead JTS links. I'll systematically start to address those. -- Dauster (talk) 23:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. In order to be efficient about it, we should leave each other the basic coding of what we're doing, so that we don't have to go into the parsha pages twice. As I said, I've done the year between Vayakhel and Masei. Once you've found live links for these Conservative-movement pages—they're not all JTS, I don't think—there's no reason I shouldn't fix them once I jump back in at Devarim and work my way back around to Ki Tissa. In any event, שבת שלום. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:12, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

שבת שלום Steven. Dauster (talk) 14:00, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Parsha/ Parashah disambiguationHi,

First off thanks again for your excellent and very hard work. I read it weekly.

I have noticed that your article titles use "parsha", and the body uses "parashah". Also in Wikipedia, "Parsha" redirects to "Parashah". You may want to consider switching the titles to match the body to avoid any confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitzijak (talk • contribs) 15:14, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Vitzijak. I do think that "parashah" is the truer transliteration. But others have changed the names of the pages, and I hesitate to make a change like that with all the downstream effects. Thanks, again. -- Dauster (talk) 22:04, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Early nonrabinnic interpretationsHi, I have recently noticed this section.

I understand there may be significant history and controversy regarding this. I question whether this section is on or off topic. While it obviously refers to the parashah, the interpretive lens and purpose is vastly different from other rabbinical and more modern sources that are inherent in your topic. Thus it may be divergent enough from the overall historical study of this parashah as to be considered its own/different topic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitzijak (talk • contribs) 22:03, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the guidance, Vitzijak. -- Dauster (talk) 16:50, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dauster,

I saw you undid my earlier deletion. I understand your viewpoint, but I still think it is off topic and should be removed. "Parashah", and therefore the Parashah page, is inherently and largely exclusively a Jewish interpretation of biblical text. While I agree diversity of opinion is important and useful for this interpretation there is a big difference between adding more essential non religious or external interpetation (such as old and new scholarly work), and nonessential interpretations which could be considered antithetical to the whole idea of Parashah.

I really don't see how this adds anything to the article. Please reconsider its (and similar entry) deletion or movement to its own page.

Thanks Vitzijak (talk) 20:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Vitzijak. I am concerned that your position reduces into antipathy toward Christian sources even when they buttress Jewish concepts in the parashah. But I am not looking for an edit war, and will find other interpretations to add. -- Dauster (talk) 12:05, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dauster,

While I do truly appreciate your concern and agree that we need to be hypervigilant to negative bias, the significance of your assertion is powerful and without any supportive evidence. I also have no interest in an edit war, nor have I started one. Perhaps I am reading too much into your comment due to the nature of written discussion, but I believe your statement merits a response, at least to clear my head. A review of my numerous reasonably regular small positive edits on multiple topics over multiple years would point to my being a positive editor. I have also brought up this topic in a positive thoughtful talk page, and made these deletions only once and with edit commentary. I believe your assertion is unfounded.

I believe the issue here is not source bias, but rather page definition. I think a reasonable definiton of "Parashah" is a Jewish interpretation of a defined section of bible- something that might be found in any reasonable Jewish torah commentary from any number of Jewish denominations. I think the sections we are discussing fall distinctly under Messianic Judiasm, which has it's own wikipedia page. I struggle to see how those comments would be found in any jewish denomination's torah commentary - perhaps I am wrong.

I must further note for the record wikipedia's quote: "All denominations of Judaism, as well as national Jewish organizations, reject Messianic Judaism as a form of Judaism.[18][20][243"

I do not intend any counter assertion from the above, but am making a point as to the can of worms that I am trying to close to help keep the Parashah pages on topic.

I really do appreciate your excellent and thoughtful work, and am trying to keep wiki space a positive one in this obviously controversial topic as we continue to improve wikipedia. I sincerely hope that you interpret this in a positive way.

Best, Vitzijak Vitzijak (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do not question your motives, Vitzijak. And in the other direction, I should note that not all uses of Christian sources evince Messianic Judaism. I've agreed to you proposal and we can leave it at that and move on. Be well. -- Dauster (talk) 10:32, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Portal/Weekly Torah PortionHi, Bill. First, גמר חתימה טובה to you. I noticed you are involved at Beth El in Bethesda. My late teens and early twenties were spent at Har Shalom in Potomac, way before it became the gigantic place it is now. It was truly tiny when I first went there. If you can date it (and me) from that, hamevin yavin.

Mostly, I wanted to let you know that I updated all of the portal pages in Bereshit to the universal date template format I started putting in place during the summer. I think the only things that are left to do in that regard are (most of) Sefer Shemot, along with putting in a few additional pages for other year configurations (mostly the RH-Sukkot-SA-on Shabbat configuration, which we are still four years away from). When I create those pages, I'm simply going to cut-and-paste from the appropriate parsha pages. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much Steven, for your kind note and useful work on the portal pages. I really appreciate it. And גמר חתימה טובה to you, as well. Be well. Dauster (talk) 10:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for intro sentence order in parashahsHi,

When I read the intros in the parashah page and get to numbers of words and letters, my eyes tend to glaze over and I often miss the more important parashah summary. Might I suggest the order be switched so it looks like:

Toledot, Toldos, or Tol'doth (תּוֹלְדֹת — Hebrew for "generations" or "descendants," the second word and the first distinctive word in the parashah) is the sixth weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. The parashah tells of the conflict between Jacob and Esau, of Isaac's passing off his wife Rebekah as his sister, and of Isaac's blessing of his sons.

It constitutes Genesis 25:19–28:9. The parashah is made up of 5,426 Hebrew letters, 1,432 Hebrew words, and 106 verses, and can occupy about 173 lines in a Torah Scroll (סֵפֶר תּוֹרָה, Sefer Torah).[1] Jews read it the sixth Sabbath after Simchat Torah, generally in November, or rarely in early December.[2]

As always, thanks for your great work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitzijak (talk • contribs) 02:09, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Vitzijak. That's a good idea. I'll start making that change week by week as I go through. Thanks again. -- Dauster (talk) 10:32, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

...and while we're on the subject...You're welcome. I think at this point I've made it all the way around the year on the Portal subpages, substituting the "perpetual" code for specific dates. The only ones left to do, I think, are the holiday ones (the ones where Shabbat is a Yom Tov). Shabbat Chol Hamoed Pesach, the one you just saw, is done, but I'll check on the rest.

While I'm at it, I'm fixing up the French portal pages on the parsha, and connecting the French, Hebrew and English versions on Wikidata. (Those are the only three wikis where I've found portal versions; if you find others, let me know.) שבוע טוב. StevenJ81 (talk) 00:09, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

excellent. Good job, StevenJ81! -- Dauster (talk) 03:28, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

critical analysis sub sectionHi Dauster,

Thanks for your ongoing improvements!

I see you undid the critical analysis title deletion I made.

To me, this subsection is confusing as the contents are essentially the same as the modern interpretation section above. Also as critical analysis is all modern, to me it makes more sense to have it all under modern, or at least a subsection under modern, so then it would stay in line with the other time based subsections.

Best, Vitzijak — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitzijak (talk • contribs) 17:46, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies; after further review, it appears I was mistaken and many parsha articles have a subsection in critical analysis, so Naso's was not an anomaly.

I still makes sense to me have this section under modern, but it is a trifle... :)

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitzijak (talk • contribs) 22:10, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Shana tova/mo'ed tov and a suggestion for next yearHi, Bill, and mo'ed tov to you.

I was thinking that it would be worth creating a [[Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion/V'zot Haberacha]] (or however you'd spell it). If you compare Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion to its French and Hebrew counterparts, you'll see that they're set up to show V'zot Haberacha as the parashah through Simchat Torah, then switch to Bereshit for the rest of the week. (The coding in the Hebrew version is more elaborate, but I assume it changes over either Thursday night after the hour in the שקיעה template over there or else on Friday. The coding in the French version changes over for Saturday.) Since you've worked on most of these summaries for the Portal, I thought I'd ask you about this one. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:09, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much, StevenJ81. That's a good thought. While I could create the content, I am afraid that the coding to make it work is beyond me. Thanks again. -- Dauster (talk) 10:24, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you create the content, I'll make it work. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:32, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, StevenJ81. I've put some content at Portal:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion/V'Zot HaBerachah. Thanks again. -- Dauster (talk) 18:11, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Have a peek. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:03, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update (over a year later): You're welcome. I finally started copying the revised code from Shemini, where I tested it a year ago, to the rest of Vayikra (following), plus the three Pesach subpages. I'll finish that little chore over the next several weeks. But more work to do: I have to create the subpages for Shabbat on Shavuot II, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret, because we finally get those in 2020. Anyway, שבת שלום וחג שמח!

PinechasHi Dauster,

You are absoloutely right. Somehow when I was reviewing this, I stopped at the fifth aliyah dealing with more priestly issues, and so didn’t see how the comment fit. It fits well, especiialy with the daughters of Zelophehad earlier. My apologies, I have undone it.

Another thing I have noticed is that throughout the article, Pinechas is spelled many different ways, sometimes in the same paragraph. I know you start with a spelling disambiguation, but perhaps a find and replace could be done to unify all spellings to the title spelling of Pinechas?

InvitationDear Dauster,

You are cordially invited to join the Portals WikiProject.

This is a very active project. We are in the process of completely revamping the entire portal system, and cleaning up the portal namespace. After these are done, we'll be greatly expanding the collections of portals. We have many design discussions going on, and many task types to choose from.

We also have a newsletter, that covers the progress of portal development, and the latest toys.

If you are interested, please feel welcome to sign-up at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Project_participants.

By the way, I'm very interested in what you think of portals. What do you like most about them? What do they lack that they should have? What can't they do, that you would like them to be able to do?

I look forward to your replies.    — The Transhumanist   09:17, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
