Talk:Shmarya Rosenberg

NPOV

I tried to keep this article as neutral as possible. Chances are that this article may get vandalized a few times. . . Before making assertions or major changes, outline them in the talk page. Cheers --Avi15 (talk) 05:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I have removed according to WP:BLP some unsourced negative comment. It is possible there is a source for just who in the Jewish community made the comment removed about his mental health, but it must be exactly sourced, & it must have appeared under the byline of an eminently respectable publication--and be exactly quoted. Even then it would be extremely problematic, and I want to see it here on the talk page before it gets inserted. It is exactly the sort of negative BLP that is exactly the purpose of the BLP policy to keep out of Wikipedia. The material about his having been a frequent guest of the Rubashkins also needs an exact citation, not a general reference to his blog. I've put a fact tag on it for the time being. I've also put a fact tag on something that is fairly obvious, but also does need to be specifically sourced. DGG (talk) 13:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

It's not neutral to refer to Rosenberg as a "crybaby." I deleted that reference.Jaxn2 (talk) 22:23, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

that was recent vandalism. But you did not restore the original text, which I just did. Additionally, the line about whom he dated is a BLP violation with respect to the girl.And all whistle-blowers are self-appointed. DGG (talk) 19:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

There are two features that bring into question the neutrality of the Shmarya Rosenberg article. This is why I've made a few changes.

1) The insinuation or implication was there that Rosenberg was definitely right and Chabad was definitely wrong because the the black Ethiopians ARE DEFINITELY JEWISH. Wrong. The Ethiopians Jewish identity is questionable and Chabad's action should not therefore be portrayed as unreasonable. The article gave the impression that they (Chabad) were the bad guys however well intended the author.

2) No-one can deny that Rosenberg's work is seriously biased. It focusses only on the negative side of a certain community that he singles out. He doesn't ever state anything positive so far as I can glean. In fairness and for the sake of neutrality it is strongly suggested this article owes a duty to caution readers regarding his blog.

The above are commonsence points that need to be dealt with if simple objectivity is to be maintained. Roy Grant (talk) 23:59, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

His notorious grandfather

I propose adding to the article Shmarya's illustrious ancestry, namely, his grandfather, Leon Gleckman, the Al Capone of St. Paul. His notoriety should make him be relevant to be mentioned in the article of his grandson. http://benatlas.com/2011/01/the-subliminal-legacy-of-the-al-capone-of-st-paul-leon-gleckma/TheTruthMan11 (talk) 18:15, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

The link does not appear to meet out WP:RS standards.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 20:08, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

It is not the link that I am suggesting as the source, it is the documents that the link contains that clearly prove it.TheTruthMan11 (talk) 20:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

See the thread on his own blog where he admits he has no funds. See also the article about Berel Lazar and how he cannot get to New York or Russia because he has no funds. My information about him being destitute is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.182.194.193 (talk) 08:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I have let the part about Rosenberg's notorious grandfather stay in, although I think it is OR and a possible WP:BLP issue. Or am I mistaken? Ajnem (talk) 16:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC) Please note clearly the BLP issue that you are referring to.--208.53.73.133 (talk) 00:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
