List of massacres I deleted your recent additions to the List of massacres because you did not cite any verifiable reliable sources that allege the incidents were massacres. Please read the talk page of List of massacres and you will see that there is general agreement that entries on the page must be carry citations that state the event was a massacre . What there is considerable disagreement over is what constitutes a reliable source for an entry in the list. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 23:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm wondering if you could add proper source info for this image. Thanks—Chris! _ct 03:27, 18 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While Meryl Streep and Carrie Fisher have Jewish ancestry on their fathers' sides, there is nothing saying that their mothers are Jewish. Neither of the actors formally converted to Judaism either, so neither of the two are considered Jews by Jewish law--by pretty much any sect, not just by Orthodox Judaism.

Why did you revert the List's Conversion to a Table? As detailed on the Lists talk page the size and ordering of the list make it nearly impossible to locate a specific individual without already knowing their name, the table allows simple identification and at a glance viewing of the information. Having spent 3 days formatting the data into a usable format, I have to say it is seriously lacking structure or consistency and the table provided that. If it's an issue of the categories I chose, I'm welcome to discussion on the article's talk page but it needs to be done. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.217.62 (talk) 19:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop listing non-Jews as Jews. Your next revert will be 3RR. Also, see the following (from Who is a Jew), which would say that your so-called Jews are not Jewish The origin of the rule that a person's Jewish status is determined in accordance with matrilineal descent is obscure. Traditional rabbis have pointed to Deuteronomy 7:3-4 and Ezra 10:3 as implicit sources,[2][3] while advocates of patrilineal descent point to Genesis 48:15-20 and Deuteronomy 10:15.[4]

All branches of Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism today, maintain that the halakhic rules (ie. matrilineal descent) are valid and binding.

Reform (in America) and Liberal Judaism do not accept the halakhic rules as binding, and accept a child of one Jewish parent, whether father or mother, as Jewish if the parents raise the child as a Jew and the child fosters a Jewish identity, noting "that in the Bible the line always followed the father, including the cases of Joseph and Moses, who married into non-Israelite priestly families".[5] Reform rabbis in North America have set standards by which a person with one Jewish parent is considered a Jew if there have been "appropriate and timely public and formal acts of identification with the Jewish faith and people," such as a Jewish naming ceremony, brit milah, or a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony. Because the Reform Movement uses a guidelines approach and its standards are not considered binding, they are understood and applied in different ways by different Reform rabbis and individual Reform Jews. The principle, in general, is understood to require a Jewish upbringing. The Reform movement's standard states that "for those beyond childhood claiming Jewish identity, other public acts or declarations may be added or substituted after consultation with their rabbi".[citation needed]" Sposer (talk) 14:44, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I hit nerve. It is not meant to be personal. I am just following the way I read the instructions of Who is a Jew and following what two of three main divisions of Judaism follow. I am certainly not qualified to determine anybody's Jewishness. Even Reform Judaism only accepts paternal descent if the person has been Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the male is circumcised, and actively considers him/herself Jewish. So, it sounds as if you are Bar/Bat Mitzvah, so Reform Judaism would consider you Jewish. Conservative would not, nor would Orthodox. I am certainly not questioning your own Jewishness. If the sources show that these people also consider themselves to be Jewish, then you have an argument, but saying they are 1/4 Jewish or 1/2 Jewish, without them actively identifying as Jewish, makes it very hard to call them Jewish. Although I would disagree on Conservative Jewish grounds of your being Jewish, it is not about me. If this list was about your obviously very strong feelings of considering yourself Jewish, it would make it difficult for me to revert your inclusion, for example, and I probably would not. But, just stating that a person's father is Jewish, unless there is clear evidence that they are actively part of the Jewish community (which does not mean that they support Israel, or something like that as in the case of Michael Douglas), does not make them Jewish, even in the most Liberal terms.Sposer (talk) 01:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Before deleting uncited material, you must reach a consensus on the article's talk page(unless its vandalism). Otherwise, simply put {{fact}} . See WP:CTT for more info.
