You should stop importing and start improving. ''Then'' import more.  ;-) [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 18:56, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

:Steve -- yes, I understand this approach. Perhaps you could comment on my "strategy." But don't worry, I'll only import a few more sections that I think are part of the major core. [[User:David Hoffman|David Hoffman]] 18:56, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

::: Sure, that's fair (and I noticed something along those lines before). I've started to make revisions to what I've imported, sometimes quite drastic ones. But I trust you and the others to know what's best for CZ. I don't think I'm trying to change a policy, am I? Well, that's not my intent. Maybe I should vet with you, or a veteran who could "adopt" me, before I import more. [[User:David Hoffman|David Hoffman]] 19:03, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
 
Just ''don't'' import more, David -work on what you've got. What's happened again and again is that somebody becomes a new citizen, they import loads of stuff from wikipeida, meaning to eventually change it, or thinking some one else will, but nobody does and then somebody ends up having to go through the wiki and delete it a couple of weeks from now. Work on what you have already imported,and when you have, ''then'' import more. But wait- I have a "jewish question" for you (very bad joke which is actually a query prompted in the most respectful way)which perhaps you can answer first - I don't know if you know the traditional Jewish law- but for [[Natural Family Planning]] I wanted to go through how the very orthodox rules for touching between husband and wife increase the chances of pregnancy, but I have forgotten exactly how it works- I think its 7 days after last visible blood- and then mikvah? I also do not know the history of that tradition, how it started, which passages in which books are referred to? I'd like to include this in a scholarly fashion for that article. In any event, no "sin of Onan" means high sperm count, timing of togetherness after abstinence means likely intercourse at time of ovulation, and I would like to refer to this all properly. Can you help? [[User:Nancy Sculerati|Nancy Sculerati]] 19:23, 10 May 2007 (CDT)
