Central Synagogue, New York?[edit]

Just wondering about the need (?) for disambiguation?

Central Synagogue of Aleppo
Central Synagogue, Sydney
old Central Synagogue, Moscow in Soviet days = now Moscow Choral Synagogue, correct?

Ely Jacques Kahn[edit]

"After a fire in 1886, the building was restored by Ely Jacques Kahn.[3"

Kind of hard to do if Ely Jacques Kahn was born in 1884. He worked on the synagogue in 1946 according to his own page. Angecope (talk) 01:56, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Substantial interesting article, on its way to FA I assume, on plenty of sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The image is licensed and says better what ALTs 1 and 2 say. The original hook is nothing specific to this treasure. My favourite is ALT3. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Map in Czech?[edit]

For some reason, the NRHP map displays captions in a Slavic language (I think Czech?), so that (for example) Columbus Circle displays as "Kolambus Serkl" and Hell's Kitchen is "Hels Kičen". The same problem arises on WikiData, and I suspect originates there. I'm not sure how to fix this, so that the map labels are in English here on en.wiki.
