Reference?[edit]

You added "Jewish" to Rachel Yakar, but please also add a reference. It is not mentioned in the following reference, which is misleading. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda,
Thanks for the question.
Here is BARD's answer to the question "Was Rachel Yakar Jewish"?
"Yes, Rachel Yakar was Jewish. She was born in Lyon, France, to
a Jewish family of Greek-Turkish origin."
Here is ChatGPT's answer to the same question:
"Yes, Rachel Yakar was Jewish. She is a renowned Israeli soprano
who was born on November 5, 1938, in Jerusalem, British Mandate
Palestine (now Israel). Yakar has achieved international acclaim
for her performances in opera and concert, particularly in the
field of Baroque music."
Add to this the fact "Yakar" is a very common Jewish surname in
Sephardi Jewish communities in Greece, Turkey and Israel, and is
never encountered among Christians.
It is not obvious to me what do you mean by "reference". Are you
asking for notarized copies of people's birth certificates ?!?
Have you ever seen Helene Grimaud's or Martha Argerich's birth
certificates? Or Arthur Rubinstein's? We could go on forever.
Best regards,
dk DanKoren (talk) 10:44, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining. I believe you that she was Jewish. However, I understand that you are here from 2016, and should soon have been told and have understood that for Wikipedia it doesn't matter if something is true, - it has to be verifiable by a reliable source (reference, citation) which should be mentioned right after the fact by "inline citation". You put in the fact "Jewish family" in an existing sentence with a citation (Kutsch/Riemens), but that citation doesn't have it. That is misleading. Please find a good reliable citation (ChatJPT is downright wrong about her place of birth, and not reliable at all, and I doubt that Bard is much better) for her being Jewish, and add it right after the fact. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
?!?
I have been on Wikipedia since the early 90s!
Where do you get your data? Your request for a
"reliable citation" is unreasonable and absurd
in this context. Can you show me a "realiable
citation" that "proves" Martha Argerich is
Jewish? Or that any of the several hundred
musicians listed as Jewish in the Wikipedia
are or were actually Jewish?
Let's be serious.
