Talk:History of the Jews in Thessaloniki

message: This article needs more than copy editing. Some parts are totally incomprehensible. To the point that it's funny. Some sentences look like they are composed of random words and it is impossible to determine what they are supposed to mean. --Ezra Wax (talk) 20:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone awhile back pointed out that the French edition was better. So someone whose first language was not English, machine translated it from French (I'm guessing). Machine- translated stuff has to be massaged first, unfortunately. I did this once before. Student7 (talk) 22:25, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I just realized that this is my version! If you think this is bad, you should have seen it "before!" But I still agree with you. Definitely needs heavy editing. Student7 (talk) 22:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

text: If you don't want to correct them yourself, point out the worst ones to me and I'll see what I can do. (Hard to correct your own mistakes! Particularly after spending quite a bit of time on it.)Student7 (talk) 11:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incomprehensible 

message: The city's name is given in parentheses as "(formerly Salonika)", with an internal link to the Thessaloniki page. In the 1998 English-language edition of the Pinkas Hakehillot (Encyclopaedia of Jewish Communities from their Foundation till after the Holocaust) volume for Greece, editor Bracha Rivlin uses the spelling Salonika. Can this spelling be confirmed from other sources and its derivation and usage explained? -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:51, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Formerly Salonika 

message: I've started to edit the article for English usage and also providing more context for some statements. Agree there should be more cites from English sources.Parkwells (talk) 19:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Improving sentences

message: There seems to be an underlying assumption that introduction of Western schools and thinking was good for the Jewish population and others in Thessaloniki - any sources that debate that?  Industrialization brought some benefits but what were the costs? Not only the rabbis might have been displaced - there needs to be more discussion of the culture when the outsiders arrived - what did they want to change?  I see they wanted more general education, for more years, for both girls and boys.  What else? Parkwells (talk) 19:26, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Warsaw concentration camp]] 

message: For my edit what I intend to do is edit the Salonika Jews article on this site. Because of the length of the entire article, I will be focusing on the section titled Modern Times. The source I will be using to supplement my edit will be the book Greece - A Jewish History by author K. E. Fleming. The book itself is a comprehensive work into the history of Salonikan Jews over several centuries, especially leading into World War II. Fleming is one of the premier experts in this field of Jewish Studies. Although the section touches on the diversity of the city as an economic hub, it does not cover the unique rabbinical culture that developed in the city. One of the these pieces of information that I intend to add is how the Salonikan rabbis permitted Teshuvah, or returning to Judaism, for conversos. These were Jews living in the Iberian Peninsula that converted to Christianity in order to be accepted. This contributed to Salonikas unique status as an economic hub that subsequently aided in its industrialization. If anyone would like to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my own Talk Page. Barsegh1775 (talk) 05:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
