Hey! I noticed that you were doing some copyediting for Poozy (thanks for that), but I wanted to ask: do you know of any high-quality sources I could use for Arik Einstein? I've been searching for some on Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library and found that one journal I keep citing, but otherwise nothing that's entirely about him. There is this biography that was cited in the Hebrew article for Poozy, but I can't find a digital version of it, nor even its ISBN. I ask because I think that article, if given the time, could easily become a GA level article and even an FA, given its subject matter (Einstein has been covered extensively in Israel, I'm sure you know that by now). If you don't have any, that's fine, thanks for trying to help anyway. _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 19:32, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@SignedInteger: Which "one journal" and which "this biography" you have in mind?. I added one more ref to the lede of Arik Einstein. The two refs^[1][2] are rather detailed. --Altenmann >talk 22:31, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This one is the journal; it focuses heavily on the 1960s part of his career. As for the biography, I cannot find the ISBN number, but it is called "אריק איינשטיין: זו אותה האהבה"; it appears to be partially an autobiography since it is from back when Einstein was alive. _{S.G.

I don't quite sure which quality sources you need. If you want some "NPOV balance", here is a critical text by anti-Zionist Tom Pessah. Here are pieces of an en-lang book covering Israeli rock.

Altenmann is a proud descendant of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and embraces all cultures that emerged there, "from sea to sea" (and "from the river to the sea :-)

I am not really a "goood article" writer. I just notice pieces of knowledge I find interesting but which missed enwiki attention and usually write reasonable stubs/starts of sufficient content just off the radar of deletionists. For example this year I cobbled up Nathan Shahar (Arik Einstein here :-), Shulamit (of considerable notability, but not for enwikipedians:-), Eliahu Mordecai Werbel (to relate with Shulamit). --Altenmann >talk 22:31, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well, aside from the weird userbox template that's for some reason on here. Yeah, I understand that you're not a GA editor. To quote one of your own subpages that you linked, you make articles about things that "nobody else gives a fuck" about. (I admit that not only made me laugh, it made me respect you more, that's the kind of attitude more niche topic editors should have).

By "high quality", I mean anything that's not newspapers or the like, not that those are bad, they're fine, and I will be organizing them for this as well. The book you linked is good, the other...not too sure, but I'll keep it bookmarked in case it is needed.

Oh! And as for suggestions for new stubs/starts: Any of the members of Kaveret that still somehow don't have English articles, they're all clearly notable enough for English Wikipedia and many of them have successful solo careers too.

Thank you for your help! I'll be getting to work on improving the article later, probably when I'm done with Einstein's 1969-1971 albums (easily his most notable and acclaimed) or perhaps even later than that, but again, thanks! _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 22:44, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@SignedInteger: This is from the book you wanted; I guess, a preface. This is about the publisher and WorldCat gives us ISBN 9789653781184, ISBN 9653781189 ; Here is NLI entry. So, unless you are in Israel, you are out of luck :-( --Altenmann >talk 01:15, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. Welp, I don't live in Israel at the moment so I guess checking that book is off the list. Thank you nonetheless. As I said in another comment, I'll get to work on this article when I am done with making articles for Einstein's first albums (1966-1971, or even 1964-1971, if the Yarkon Bridge Trio albums are notable enough for inclusion). Once again, thanks! I've bookmarked the other sources that you did cite here. _{S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits)} 11:02, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you removed my edits from the Sova (surname) Wikipedia page without any clarification. I have since added a source to the page on the connection with the surname Sova and Sauvé. ObjeCity (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
