Thanks

Hi Gilabrand, Thanks for all your contributions on the Israeli cuisine article over the past few months. I'm happy to see that it has been promoted to GA status and I'm sure that is in no small part due to your efforts! Best regards, --- Chefallen (talk) 19:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you so much for the edits in Jewish wedding. I thought it would take years to make it a decent article, and you made it in a few minutes. Definitely this is a case where being WP:BOLD is the one and only solution ! --Licory (talk) 19:12, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

re Child

Thaks for this. I have this article on my watchlist and it seems to be a target for vandalism etc., so it's nice to see your good and useful contribution. Keep up the good work! Herostratus (talk) 17:32, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Mount of Olives

Hi, nice editing and picture-adding on this article. What are your thoughts on breaking off the cemetery into a separate article, such as Mount of Olives (Jewish cemetery), which would help us expand on the history of burials here? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 08:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. The lists on this page are really getting out of hand...I wouldn't write "Jewish cemetery" in parentheses, though. I think I would call the article "Mount of Olives Cemetery" and link it to this one.--Geewhiz (talk) 09:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

for the interesting etymological article you linked to in Emek Refaim. I have learnt something, for which I am grateful. RolandR (talk) 11:20, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for this edit. I was going to do something similar last night, but was too tired when I got home, and had to go to bed. --NSH001 (talk) 06:28, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reassessing Ayoob Kara. :) --Metallurgist (talk) 03:23, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, do you have any recommendations for how to improve it further?

Allar, Jerusalem

Please restore the original article name and open a move request. Thanks. Tiamut 19:14, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Ahalan wasahalan, Tiamut. Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope all is well. About Allar, the article clearly states that it is 17 kilometers from Jerusalem, which puts it in the Jerusalem District. The only reason for adding anything to the village name is for disambiguation purposes. For that purpose, Allar (village) seems best but since you have done some nice work on the article, I'll leave that up to you.--Geewhiz (talk) 06:13, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Ahlan fiki Gilabrand. I don't know which source says its 17km from Jerusalem so I've removed that bit and gone with Petersen's description which is simply southwest of Jerusalem. Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948 are generally disambiguated by including the name of the district they were located in without prefacing it by "District of..." - its too wordy. As a result, I've moved it back to the original title. I think I violated 1RR by doing so, but don't want to undo and create an even bigger mess, so I've asked at arbitration for advice on how to proceed. In the future, if you could open a discussion on the talk page before moving pages, that would be good. We could then avoid these back and forths altogether then. Take care, Tiamut 08:48, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Water supply and sanitation in Israel

Thank you for your edits to this article, which are greatly appreciated. I noticed that the history section has been moved only partially and perhaps you had to interrupt your work on the article. If that is the case, I just wanted to encourage you to continue to move the history section completely. Also, I noticed that you added a picture of the Menashe artificial recharge plant. Since the article has no content on artificial recharge yet, you may want to add such information. One possible source is here:http://www.mekorot.co.il/Eng/Activities/Pages/WastewaterTreatmentandReclamation.aspx. Keep on the good work!--Mschiffler (talk) 20:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Alon Shvut

This article which you've edited recently is being discussed at WP:AE#Brewcrewer. I mentioned that some of your edits on October 30 may have been reverts, but since you were not named in the AE request I have not investigated the matter. This notice is intended as a formality. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Highway 1

Hey GB, how've you been? You recently made an edit to Highway 1. What is Highway 76 at the eastern end? 90 is at the end. Never mind that. When I saw your edit, I realized that there are some more serious mistakes, especially the distances and some missing intersections. You may know that I edited many Highways. My edits were based on actually driving the routes. For now, I made some minor edits to the eastern end of Highway 1. (It got shorter!) I suspect there may be an error in distances somewhere at the western end. I'm going to drive the entire route soon and edit accordingly. Unless you get there before me. Who knows, maybe we'll bump into each other. (Not literally, of course! lol) --@Efrat (talk) 05:06, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

In the meantime, I uploaded Ben-TzionMM's junction diagrams from he:wikipedia (giving due attribution to him) and inserted them into the article. AND ALSO, I sent you an email. --@Efrat (talk) 08:59, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Sections

What precisely do you think you are doing on Tallit? Debresser (talk) 23:36, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

I added some photos and mistakenly left a caption in the wrong place. Sorry.--Geewhiz (talk) 05:01, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Zoological conspiracy theories

Gilabrand. You made a number of significant changes to Zoological conspiracy theories which were not discussed and in some cases in direct contradiction of consensus which was reached in the article's Talk Page. I am reverting these changes. If you feel like these changes are necessary please discuss them first. Poyani (talk) 23:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar

Reverting the Hat article

Don't know if you misclicked, but you just reverted the Hat article to a version from December 2010. I'm sure it hasn't been that consistently and badly vandalised over the past year. --McGeddon (talk) 18:23, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

If you look carefully at the history, you will see that almost all the edits made over the past year have been vandalizing edits. Over time, attempts to revert vandals have led to important sections of the article disappearing. Since working on the article years ago, I am still waiting for someone to add something of substance. --Geewhiz (talk) 19:04, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Samaria?

What do you mean: "Use of the term "Samaria" is banned by Misplaced Pages"? Maybe re. modern day designation, but not historical. Chesdovi (talk) 15:30, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
