COI review request: Eliezer Blum article

Hello. I have a conflict of interest (Eliezer Blum is a family member) and have prepared a revised sandbox draft of the Eliezer Blum article based on published, independent sources. I have posted a formal {{edit COI}} request on the article's Talk page and would be grateful if an editor familiar with this subject area could review it. The sandbox draft is at User:Dschrier13/sandbox. Thank you.

Requesting help moving page Vilna Edition Shas to a better suited name (Vilna/Slavuta disaggreement?)

looking over it, I feel that it could have a better title --TroglodyticArgonaut (talk) 11:07, 18 June 2026 (UTC)

I agree. Maybe "Vilna Talmud"? GordonGlottal (talk) 15:02, 26 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm afraid that this will be deleted in the next few weeks. Can someone add reliable sources, or find an WP:ATD? Bearian (talk) 19:53, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Request for feedback Draft:Synagogue_of_Trutnov

Hi,

I would appreciate feedback on a draft article about the Synagogue of Trutnov (Czech Republic); submitting it through AfC (am trying to ensure the draft meets AfC standards).

The article is based mainly on academic sources (Reil 2013, Jewish Museum in Prague) and institutional sources.

I am particularly interested in comments on sourcing coverage, notability (WP:GNG), and overall structure and compliance with MOS.

Draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Synagogue_of_Trutnov

Thank you in advance. The Regulator 1 (talk) 15:34, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jewish Culture Month

The page Jewish Culture Month has been proposed for deletion, as it matches an established pattern of AI-generated content.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice. In this case, you take responsibility for the content, and the onus is on you to achieve consensus for its inclusion. You must remove or rewrite any generated content, and all content and its sources must be closely reviewed, and reworked as needed, to ensure that it complies with polices and guidelines. This may involve checking that the cited sources support the content and are reliable, determining whether the content is due for inclusion, and rewriting the content in your own words to revise the tone and resolve possible copyright violations.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, and you intend to review and rework it, you may request undeletion of the page at any time. Bearian (talk) 15:29, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

So I've rewritten this one and deleted the LLM notice... Slava570 (talk) 21:56, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Request for guidance on Breslov primary texts

The affiliation with ajew.org is disclosed at User:Pettek Nanach. Ajew.org hosts publicly accessible English and bilingual primary Breslov texts relevant to several existing articles, including Nachman of Breslov, Nathan of Breslov, Yisroel Ber Odesser, Nachman Goldstein, Abraham Chazan, Nachman Chazan, Yisroel Halpern, Shmuel Horowitz, Yitzchok Breiter, Alter Tepliker, Chayey Moharan, and Tikkun HaKlali. No direct additions are proposed. Guidance from uninvolved editors is requested on whether any resources at the library may be suitable as external links or eventual Wikisource imports, and which should be reviewed first. There is no request to add every link. Pettek Nanach (talk) 04:24, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

If your library contains their writings, I think it'd be a great addition to link them in the external links (unless links already exist to these resources). So for example you may add an external link in Yisroel Halpern directing to his books, while Tikkun HaKlali already has the relevant primary source linked, so it's less appropriate there. NorthernWinds ❄️ (talk) 07:50, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you; this is helpful. The library does contain writings by several of the people listed, including complete works in some cases and substantial selections in others. The sensible approach seems to be to proceed selectively, article by article: propose only the strongest exact matches between an article and the subject’s own writings, describe the language and coverage precisely, and avoid adding links where Wikipedia already points readers to an equivalent resource. Yisroel Halpern is a good place to begin, since the library has a dedicated collection of his writings and translations. Other candidates can then be considered individually rather than treating the library as one general link or attempting to add every available resource.

Regarding Tikkun HaKlali specifically, the existing external link was checked. Its PDF already includes transliteration, the binding declaration, and prayers, so those features should not be presented as unique. The ajew.org edition is nevertheless materially different: it is a browser-readable, line-by-line presentation combining vocalized Hebrew, English translation, and an Ashkenazi-style transliteration, together with the introductory declaration and concluding prayer: https://ajew.org/tikkun-klali/ . Would those differences make an additional external link useful, or would one primary-text link still be preferable?

Disclosure: Pettek Nanach is affiliated with ajew.org. ~2026-42503-10 (talk) 06:39, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

For clarity, the preceding reply from temporary account ~2026-42503-10 was posted by Pettek Nanach while accidentally logged out. Pettek Nanach (talk) 06:45, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

I am not sure what the answer is to your Tikkun HaKlali question is. You should make a COI edit request and see what others think (see Wikipedia:Simple conflict of interest edit request). Feel free to add your links to pages like Yisroel Halpern in the meantime. I will review your edits and make sure they're alright NorthernWinds ❄️ (talk) 07:11, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I proceeded with exact-match primary-text links on Yisroel Halpern, Nachman Goldstein, Abraham Chazan, Yitzchok Breiter, Alter Tepliker, Nathan of Breslov, Yisroel Ber Odesser, and Chayey Moharan, disclosing the ajew.org affiliation in each edit summary. I skipped pages where an equivalent link already exists or no exact match was available. Per your guidance, the Tikkun HaKlali question was submitted as a COI request at Talk:Tikkun HaKlali#COI request: browser-readable bilingual edition. Review is welcome. Pettek Nanach (talk) 10:21, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

You did not make it clear in many of these articles how the linked content relates to the article. Please do so

Abraham Chazan says that Chazan published something in the fifth section of Kochavei Or, yet you linked the introduction. Was the entire thing written by him? NorthernWinds ❄️ (talk) 14:57, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
