Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Imroy 05:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please Use Edit Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

[edit] Stop the vandalism.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Category: Orthodox Jewish Anti-Zionism, you will be blocked from editing. JoshEdgar 19:21, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.--Domer48 19:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the recent edit you made to Takbir has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Waggers (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Qur'an oath controversy of the 110th United States Congress. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --RenniePet (talk) 20:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moshe Aryeh Friedman

Not unlike the assumption that any male employee at a hospital is a doctor and all female employees are nurses, the media is generally convinced that any Jewish person with a beard and a hat is a Rabbi. The sources you have provided at the Moshe Aryeh Friedman article to support the claim that he calls himself a "Rabbi". Given the presence of multiple sources directly challenging the existence of his rabbinic ordination and the legitimacy of his use of the title, the sources you have provided prove nothing. Reliable sources will need to be provided to support the claim that he has received semicha and where and who it was received from. Without these sources, the use of the title is at best misleading. Alansohn (talk) 19:03, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

I must, respectfully, disagree with you. The sources who question his usage of the title clearly do so out of anger over his activities, rather than over solid knowledge over any purported lack of semicha. And the unnamed "Jewish Community of Austria officials" merely "expressed their doubts over his status as a rabbi" because he didn't prove it to them. Considering he doesn't recognize their standing, I don't see how they could have expected him to provide them any documentation, or why he would be required or care to do so. Additionally, the usage of "Rabbi" is a rather loose title. Semicha today is not a halachic requirement to be a "Rabbi". The semicha today is not the real semicha (which indicates an unbroken chain to Moses.) Indeed, the Chofetz Chaim did not receive his semicha until his old age, and then only because of a specific one-time need. Undoubtedly, any reasonable observer would apply the title of Rabbi to the Chofetz Chaim long before he obtained his semicha, the Chofetz Chaim's humble deferment notwithstanding. (And there are examples of other great Rabbis who hadn't bothered obtaining semicha.) So semicha isn't needed for usage of this honorific. Indeed, the non-Orthodox clergy are not recognized by (at least most of) the Orthodox as being entitled to the title regardless, and would challenge their usage of it. Yet we do not remove it here on that basis.
As far as Wikipedia, the rules permit the application of this title, especially with the reliable sources provided for it, the challenge notwithstanding (although it is entirely appropriate to note that challenge in the article - as it does.) Nor do we require details of a semicha (especially since semicha itself is not a requirement for the title) on top of the reliable sources that he has the title, as otherwise many if not most bona-fide title-holders would be subject to lose that reference in their articles.
Personally I find this mans actions and statements repulsive (not his anti-zionism, but his association and coddling with these criminal Jewish-hating murderers, and his supporting of them.) Despite that, my personal religious perspective (not used in editing Wikipedia), is that non-Orthodox clergy are not entitled to usage of this title. Just as that does not negate the application of the title in articles of non-Orthodox "Rabbis", similarly our strong disagreement with the subject of this article does not negate his usage of this title. 198.77.206.228 (talk) 19:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
