Kissin

The URLs mention reciations but no actual recordings.Galassi 20:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It mentions a film. You could reword it in whatever way but why removing? Kissin published in the New York Yiddish-language newspaper Forverts, he is a well-known fan of Yiddish and adds to Yiddish entried in Russian wiki, FYU.--SimulacrumDP 20:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mogulesko

Why the removal of Zlata Pole? Slavic name seems equally relevant for that period. - Jmabel | Talk 01:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a great deal of information on him on the web in Russian and some in Yiddish/Hebrew. Most of the sources name Kalarash as his birthplace (including a very detailed history of the Jewish Theater in Odessa by Eugene Binevich and several articles about Kalarash that mention him as famous landsman); also Russian Jewish Encyclopedia (v. 2, p. 302) gives Kalarash. However, a very comprehensive volume Bessarabia (1971) in Hebrew (available here, p. 892, cites Kishinev as his birthplace. I'm not sure where this info about Zlata Pole is coming from, it's not mentioned in these sources. --SimulacrumDP 02:24, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So it's not just a Russian name for the same place? (For what it's worth, it means Golden Field, or something to that effect). - Jmabel | Talk 04:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Kalarash is the Russian name (and internationally used in the past - there are quite a few Klezmer pieces named Kalarash, Kalarasher shtikale, etc.); besides Mogulesco a contemporary Yiddish singer Samson Kemelmakher and late American thinker Hayim Greenberg are from Kalarash. I think there was a village called Zlatopol' (or Zlatopole) across the river (i.e. Dniester) in the former Podolsky gubernia (now Southern Ukraine), maybe it even still exists under some other name. As to Mogulesco (whose real name was reportedly Mogilevsky), he was likely born in Kalarash, but settled in Kishinev early on (as you write), so some people assumed he was born in Kishinev. It turns out his trouppe was very popular in Southern Russia (Bessarabia, Odessa region), as well as Romania late XIX century and he was one of the best known Yiddish actors. I'll try to add some info to your entry in April and will write a Russian version (I've already written exactly 100 articles in Russian wiki on Yiddish writers from Bessarabia, Romania and Southern Ukraine, so I took a brief respite and plan to create some English versions of those) --SimulacrumDP 18:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA reassessment of Abraham Goldfaden

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Abraham Goldfaden/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:22, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biographical articles

See [[1]]. Garald (talk) 05:06, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Garald, relatively unknown is in the eye of the beholder: your name is all-over the web now and in various languages at that! You surely present encyclopedic interest, including the fact that you come from such a notable family (of mathematicians and scientists). Yes, perhaps including your grandfather Moises or his brother Gregorio would be excessive (although both are interesting figures), but not your scientific family background, your coming to the US in 1993, and the like.SimulacrumDP (talk) 14:24, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from reverting further (or discussing any part of my family, or interpolating or extrapolating from available sources, or otherwise conducting original research) before there is a reply from the administrators. I would appreciate it if you could revert the article yourself to the state in which it was before your edits as a gesture of good will. In the meantime, I will be glad to point you to the biographical articles on, say, Ben Green or Akshay Venkatesh, as examples of how articles on very well known young mathematicians (indeed better-known than myself) should be written. Garald (talk) 15:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've already received so many advices and accusations from you that it's becoming intolerable. First, you made small corrections to the paragraph on your parents (you added your mother's second surname), then you removed everything and claimed the entry is too short to have any additional information, then you claimed it's not supported by any sources (and removed the sources), then you decided that the person is relatively unknown, now you add a claim that I'm conducting my own research, and what's going to be next? As to your advice, I'm participating in Wikipedia projects in two other languages and wrote altogether almost a thousand new articles, including quite a few on mathematicians (admittedly, not that young). I'm afraid the real matter here is a conflict of interests on your part. Removing information supported by serious sources is antithetical to the aims of the project.
