[edit] Thank you

And thank-you for inspiring the researching and reorganization of Tikkun Olam by your additions of Rav Hirsch and Rav Kook! I look forward to your future contributions on that article and others. Kol tuv, Egfrank 17:58, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moshe Shmuel Glasner

Hi. Thought I'd ask you about the connection betw Rabbis Glasner and Berkovits here, if that's ok with you. If not, I apologize and am glad to pick it up on the article Talk page. Anyway, the article text goes: "extremely similar to that of Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits." The footnote says: "An examination of Rabbi Berkovits's works leads to the unmistakable conclusion...." I'm wondering who made this examination and drew this conclusion. If it's you (i.e., Wikipedia editors), then it sounds like original research. If it's Hazony, then let's just say that this is Hazony's conclusion. See what I mean? Thanks. Be well, HG | Talk 23:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Greetings, thanks for your prompt and nice reply. I appreciate the situation and empathize with you. Still, let me stick to your question: I would ask you then, is there any way to document all of this, without running afoul of original research? I'm afraid that we need to stick with reliable sources (which are mainly secondary sources, esp major media and scholarship). Wikipedia is merely a tertiary source. So the various emails and correspondence of our editors is not relevant. Don't forget, the reliable sources also help us identify what is notable for inclusion in an article. Until somebody publishes something about the relationship between these rabbis, it isn't within our policy framework to put it in the article. Even an unpublished letter from Rabbi Berkovits himself would not be relevant. Sorry about that. Ok? Thanks. Pls reply. Kol tuv, HG | Talk 23:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
