First FAQ

So how does it come. This cooperation was initiated by museum employees? 7 volunteers presented on Wikimania are who? Museum employees? --Juandev (talk) 15:36, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At present there is one museum employee (me). I was lucky enough to be in a conference 6 months ago and hear Liam Wyatt speak about GLAM and his experience as a Wikipedian in residence. I asked how to do a similar project in our museum and he put me in touch with the local Wikipedia chapter. We are now beginning in to make connections with other Wikipedian around the world. Thank you for interest in the project Drkup(IMJ) (talk) 21:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alerts

There has been two different alert pages set up.

  1. Article alerts. This will give notice if an article has been nominated for deletion. If you goto the Alerts page, add it to your watchlist and you will be notified whenever a page is nominated for deletion. It is also on the front page of IMJ.
  2. Cleanup listings. This will list any tag an article currently has on it. I've submitted IMJ for it, but it hasn't been added yet. You can view WikiProject Israel's page here to see what it does. I'll add a link to it on the IMJ page when it finally gets set up. Bgwhite (talk) 21:18, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging an article to show up in the statistics table.

When you create a new page or edit an existing page that was not already a part of IMJ, make sure you add the WikiBanner onto the articles talk page... Just add this bit of code {{WikiProject Israel Museum, Jerusalem}}.

This will make sure the article gets added to the statistics table. The article will also be added to the two alert pages. Bgwhite (talk) 21:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First page in Swahili

Thank you to Isaac Kosgei for completing the translation of the Wikipedia article on Larry Abramson into Swahili. This is the 7th language for this article – in addition to German, Dutch, Chinese, Hebrew, Russian and English!

Isaac and I met at the Wikimania conference in August. We hope to continue working together in the future. Drkup(IMJ) (talk) 07:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issues with text

Following a listing at the copyright problems board, I have discovered a large number of articles with text copied from the Israeli Museum of Jerusalem as well as other sites. This is a problem under our copyright policies, although I assume it is one that can be easily remedied. As long as the museum continues to display the following copyright status, we cannot use their content without verified permission: "Website, text, and photos © The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, 2011. All rights reserved. No part of this website may be downloaded, copied, or reproduced in any form, analog or digital, without the permission of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, with the exception of single printouts for research or private study. Copyright in many of the works of art displayed on this site is held by the individual artists or their representatives. Reproducing these works of art in any manner requires obtaining the copyright owner's permission."

They can most easily remedy this by altering their copyright statement to license their text under creative commons attribution share-alike. Alternatively, they will need to contact the volunteers who handle copyright permission at permissions-en@wikimedia.org. We recommend the following language for the release: Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries.

We will need releases for any website from which content is copied, except in brief and clearly marked quotations used in compliance with non-free content policies. Absent such a release, all content from copyrighted sources aside from brief and clearly marked quotations must be written from scratch. With the release, there may be specific attribution requirements, and even public domain material must be properly marked when copied to meet the standards adopted by the community at Wikipedia:Plagiarism.

Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:53, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The museum has licensed the text contents of the artist list. I've created a template that should be used if adding material from the website in order to comply with the license (which does require explicit attribution and which will limit the options of reusers). Please see Wikipedia:GLAM/IMJ OTRS. Instructions for use are there. If there is somewhere within these help pages that this would appropriately fit, please feel free to make reference to it there. :) I've run the template past another OTRS agent at the IRC channel. Ordinarily, OTRS templates are only approved for use by members of the volunteer response team, but this is an unusual case. Please don't change the contents of the template without first discussing it with me, as the template is explicitly my asserting that I have verified permission. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:47, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've added under the templates section. Bgwhite (talk) 18:37, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbi Moshe Ben Nachman (Ramban) could barely find ten Jews for a minyan, a quorum for prayer, in Jerusalem, but even then there were still small pockets of Jewish inhabitants. The Jewish population in the Land of Israel increased in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, numbering between 5,000 and 10,000 souls, roughly 3%-5% of the total population. They lived mainly in the Galilee and in the cities of Teveriah (Tiberias) and Tzefas (Safed) – both being little more than large villages at that time. Chevron (Hebron)

Rav Kook met and befriended David Cohen, a young Jewish intellectual.

Rabbi Yechiel Michel Epstein, the author of Aruch HaShulchan. Rabbi Fishman was a prolific author, and he was the founder of a well-known scholarly Torah journal, Sinai. He was a fervent Zionist and a very adept polemicist.

Another head of the Mizrachi movement was Rabbi Meir Berlin (who adopted the name Bar Ilan), the youngest son of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin of Volozhin. 

Both Mizrachi and Hapoel HaMizrachi were successful in developing strong youth organizations such as Bnei Akiva and HaShomer HaDati. They created hachsharot – preparatory training camps outside the Land of Israel to indoctrinate young people for their potential arrival in the Land of Israel

The first was that he was invited to speak at the dedication of Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus in 1925. The main guest of honor at that occasion was Lord Balfour – the same Lord Balfour whose name adorned the famed Balfour Declaration that the Zionists claimed vindicated their efforts to build a Jewish homeland in the Land of Israel. At the conclusion of his brief remarks, Rabbi Kook quoted the verse from Isaiah that from Zion will come forth Torah, and the word of God from Jerusalem. 

Chaim Arlozorov, when he was walking with his wife on the boardwalk in Tel Aviv one Friday night. The ongoing ideological dispute between the followers of Zev Jabotinsky of the Revisionist Zionist party and the predominant Socialist Labor group in Palestine, led by Yitzchak Ben Zvi and David Ben Gurion, had become bitterly personal. When Arlozorov was killed, the Labor movement immediately claimed that it was the work of the Revisionists. A leading Revisionist activist, Avraham Stavsky,

Rabbi Abraham Yeshayahu Karelitz (1878-1953) was the author of famed halachic works titled Chazon Ish. Originally these works were published anonymously, beginning in 1911 and continuing for decades. But the secret could not be kept hidden for long. He came to be recognized as one of the greatest scholars and wisest guides of his era. Rabbi Karelitz lived in relative seclusion and devoted himself to his studies in Vilna, where he was a deeply respected confidant of the great Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzensky.


Rabbi Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld passed away in 1932. His successor was Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, a Hungarian-born rav who had served as the Rabbi of Chust, Ukraine, prior to moving to Jerusalem in 1930. Rabbi Dushinsky also established a Chassidic court over which he was the first Rebbe. He had been a disciple of the Shevet Sofer, a grandson of the Chasam Sofer. Rabbi Dushinsky was a very distinguished Torah scholar and a talented leader. He kept the Eidah HaChareidis unified − no small task − and firmly enforced its opposition to Zionism and to the secular leadership then governing Jewish Palestine.

In 1938, a group fiercely opposed to any cooperation with Zionism or secular Jews formed an organization called Neturei Karta

Rabbi Moshe Meir Avigdor Amiel, the Rabbi of Antwerp, Belgium, an orator of note, a scholar, and a strong leader of the Mizrachi movement; Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik who was then establishing himself in the United States as a rabbi in Boston; and Rabbi Dr. Isaac Halevi Herzog, who was then the Chief Rabbi of Ireland. Rabbi Soloveitchik’s father, Rabbi Moshe Soloveitchik (son of Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, the famed scholar of the yeshivah in Volozhin) interceded with a strong and poignant letter to the election committee in Tel Aviv extolling the virtues of his son and his fitness for the position. Naturally, Mizrachi followers favored the candidacy of Rabbi Amiel,

In the 1930s, HaPaoel HaMizrachi founded three kibbutzim located near one another in the Jordan Valley. Tirat Zvi, Sdei Eliyahu and Ein HaNetziv formed the nucleus of the Kibbutz Hadati organization and movement.

Rabbi Herzog (1888-1959) was chosen. He was a great Torah scholar, a genius with a photographic memory. He had an enormous passion for the welfare of the Jewish people as a whole, as well as for individual Jews. He had obtained his doctorate from the University of London with his treatise on the techeles of tzitzis: w
