Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism/Archive 8

message: I'd like to ask for the support of the members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Judaism in the Arbcom race  I understand that the goals of WikiProject Judaism have been hampered to the extreme by many of the sitting members of Arbitration Committee; and I have been a consistent critic of these decisions... The most prolific and skilled contributors to our articles on Jewish studies frankly have suffered systematic persecution at the hands of the Arbcom. As we speak a scholar like RK is banned from sharing his wealth of knowledge with us while users like, say, Lir and Sam Spade are not only allowed to stay on as editors but also run for positions on the Arbcom. Arbcom has also led Adam Carr to stop contributing to all non-Australian topics-- including Jewish studies-- while affording the disciples of the proven fascist/anti-Semite Lyndon LaRouche a free reign across all topics... If our work on Wiki is to be worthwhile, we must focus on recruiting arbitrators who can differentiate scholars from crackpots; and I think that most of the members of this project are aware that I can do this. 172 06:14, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: This doesn't have much to do with the project, but can someone take a look at Operation Entebbe and give an opinion on whether the original title of the 1977 Israel-made film on this topic would be rendered Mivtsa Jonatan or Mitsva Jonatan? See also that article's talk page. Thanks. Ellsworth 22:21, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Recently, there where several e-mails on the "Ladinokomunita" mailing list about the various Jewish ethnic groups, including the Sepharadim, the Mizrahim, the Gruzim, three groups of Indian Jews -Cochin, Bene Israel and "Bagdadjis" (Bagdad Jews)-, Chinese jews etc. I urge those who can read Ladino/Spanish to have a look on the list's archive here.

message: Eschatology has a focus of the "end of days," which for many Jews is the Messianic Era.  Moshiach has a focus of the Messianic figure.  Olam Haba (which redirects to this article) has to do with the Afterlife.  This article doesn't seem to pick one.  And if it did, it should pick the first, based on its title.  I have two issues I want to take up: 1) that this focuses on the latter two, and doesn't seem to address the first at all 2) that Olam Haba redirects here.
Please comment at Talk:Jewish_eschatology#Article_seems_to_be_unfocused, thank you.
