Translation request

[edit]

There had been a request in WP:TIE to translate material from the German-lanaguage article, but the English is actually more comprehensive: nothing to bring over. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:24, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

I note that this is marked as lacking the Yiddish spelling of his name. Would that be『שלום אש』(which is the title of the Hebrew article?) Or would it be different in some way? - Jmabel | Talk 18:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the date of birth from 1 January to 1 November, every other online resource I could find that included a date was in agreement on the November date. - vanhorn

I disagree strongly with the recent editbyJack O'Lantern (talk · contribs). Asch is reduced from being "Jewish" to "of Jewish heritage", and mention of his being Jewish is removed from the first paragraph, while mention of him being a "Polish-born American" is retained.

I disagree strongly with this, and with the direction it suggests. When I think of a "Polish-born American", I do not think of a Jew, and I can't imagine too many authors more profoundly Jewish than Asch, who authored works in both Hebrew and Yiddish, and most of whose works are set in a Jewish milieu.

I have cross-posted at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jewish culture. - Jmabel | Talk 17:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

can't someone be both Polish and Jewish, as well as American? I don't think his being Jewish should be played down, and his being Jewish seems to have been more important to him than being Polish. God of Vengeance does include some Polish dialogue, bu that doesn't prove that being Polish was personally important to him. 92.40.9.149 (talk) 14:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This play,the title of which now redirects here, should have its own article. The (unlamented and unmourned) New York Society for the Suppression of Vice played a key role in it suppression. I will see if I can put together a stub. Kablammo (talk) 06:14, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
