Assess[edit]

This school is unusual and could be important. Tell us more about it and include refs and more topics Victuallers 22:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


You cannot be under the auspices of someoe who is dead as a matter of fact. Does anyone dissagree with me? If no-one gives a good reason then the protection should be removed and the page should be changed to my version 58.175.200.65 11:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now you've at least started to have the decency to sign with an IP address. As for your comment, as I've said repeatedly and you've blithely ignored, the article does not say that the school is under Rabbi Schneerson's auspices now; it says that that's what the stationery says. This is a matter of fact, not opinion, and your agenda that this fact not be included in the article is nothing but violation of the rule against POV edits. Please stick to the facts and not POV pushing, thanks.
BTW, this is verifiable, which is all that matters on Wiki. And if you doubt this fact, I'm willing to post a picture of the stationery, but if you don't doubt it, but just persist on demanding that this fact be omitted, then I won't bother posting the image. --Yehoishophot Oliver 14:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sexual Abuse Section[edit]

I'm concerned about Yeshivah College, Australia#Sexual Abuse Scandal... While the controversy probably deserves mentioning, I think that expending so many words on it is starting to tip the scales towards scandal-mongering and is beginning to affect the neutral tone of the article.

I've removed the point about Lisa Metcher's statement that the local Jewish community protected the abusers. I think that this is a bit too WP:FRINGE and probably doesn't relate close enough to the subject of the article.

I'm raising this issue at WP:WPSCH and WP:EIA for their input also. ˜danjel[ talk | contribs ] 00:26, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with the actions taken. The WP:WEIGHT guidelines are useful here. Orderinchaos 19:47, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I may be in the wrong for doing so, but someone blanked this section. I reinstated it temporarily with a new tag to possibly discuss whether I should have let it die or if it was just to keep it around. ɮ (talk) 22:43, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree, especially the last line about the age of the youngest victim is beyond a doubt written to push readers to a negative view of the faculty member or school. In my opinion that line should be removed. ɮ (talk) 22:45, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Archived talk at WP:WPSCH Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Schools/Archive_21#Scandal_at_Yeshivah_College.2C_Australia (nothing was added beyond the initial request). Jim1138 (talk) 02:27, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed all names, because of our BLP policy, dealing with DO NO HARM. It is questionable whether the material would be permitted after a conviction. It is in my opinion absolutely certain that the material is unacceptable prior to that. Any encyclopedic interest in the event as it pertains to the school does not require such names. And discussion should take place, *without banes* here or at the BLP noticeboard. I shall immediate block anyone who restores names of alleged perpetrators prior to conviction. I do not myself have the authority to remove the material from the history, but I am about to ask someone who does have oversight authority to do so. DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shluchim not part of currciculum[edit]

I removed the Shluchim from under the curriculum heading into its own section. Don't see how they are connected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unchartered (talkcontribs) 12:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
