It contains one fact that might be hard to believe without evidence (Rips 1969 attempt of self-immolation). Here are two sources which confirm that it's real [1], [2]. Andris 02:54, May 23, 2004 (UTC)

Here is another one, a renown Russian samizdat paper XTC, 1969: [3]. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Beil (talk • contribs) 23:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] story of "dimension subgroup conjecture"

Why not add the amazing story about how he disproved the "dimension subgroup conjecture" using a pencil and a piece of toilet-paper while incarnated? source —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.138.179.244 (talk) 20:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] This article is slanted too much in one direction

I ran a Google Scholar search on E. Rips. I hit 37 math articles, and 4 arts/humanities articles. The math articles, which do not refer to the "Torah codes", have about 300 citations, all together. The "torah code" articles (classified as arts/humanities) have 7 citations. Need I say more? This article needs to be revised substantially to comply with NPOV. Clearly 300 is much greater than 7.

Rips is a very famous mathematician. This fame is an integral part of why his support for the Bible codes research was so critical in influencing early opinion. I'm not familiar with his work, but I have some ideas on what he is famous for. So I can add some things. --C S (Talk) 19:42, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ig Nobel Prize winners | Erdős number 3 | Orthodox Jews

Have we any source for these categories? I am tempted to remove them, just because nothing in the article actually indicates that he is all three. -- Y not? 13:57, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
