User talk:Jayjg

Shalom Jayjg, I think you are somewhat out of order in taking me to task for the abovementioned edits that I have carried out “in violation of Wikipedia policy”. In all four cases, all I did was to put the said individials into categories, in most cases, the fact that they were Jewish (actually, in the case of Aaron Porter, I was somewhat premature and I told another administrator who pointed this out that I would delete the entry , go back and check my facts). As I can see from your user page that you are familiar with the subject (i.e. Jewish ethnicity), though not perhaps the individuals themselves (being from another country), I think you will agree that one does not find references to each and ever entry in the various categories for the fact that the individual is Jewish – in several, there is no mention of his or her religion or ethnicity in the article itself, and the fact is only in categorization (Take Shimon Peres as an example – he is categorized as a Belaurasian Jew, a Jewish politician and a Polish Jew – yet the fact that he is Jewish is not referenced). Futhermore, several other categorizations of an individual in general are similarly not necessarily referenced or even mentioned in an article. (The article on David Jacobs, for example, mentions that Jacobs was born in London and educated at Strand School and Jacobs is categorized as an “Old Strandian” – yet there is no evidence or reference for that particular fact.) I can cite several further examples. Rather than warning me about being blocked from editing (which is hardly productive), perhaps you could advise me about how best to add a reference to information that is not actually in an article, but is worthy of inclusion in the “categories” section.
