Talk:Moshe Shmuel Glasner

Sourcing
Unpublished reminiscences are not verifiable, reliable sources, and thus cannot be used in Wikipedia articles. This does not reflect on the professor, but rather reflects our consistent standards of verifiability and sourcing. Any statements based on such sources must be removed from the article. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  01:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I understand the concern, but I hardly think it fair to either Rabbi Akiva Glasner that the fact of his being Rabbi Berkovits's teacher should be expunged from public knowledge, and I hardly think it fair to Rabbi Berkovits for the records of who his teacher was, to be likewise expunged. Furthermore, the connection between their philosophies of Oral Law is vital to be recorded.

Now, I would ask, if someone is interviewed, and this interview is published, surely this constitutes a valid source, correct? If so, then why should an interview with Professor Glasner be any different? Furthermore, why cannot Wikipedia be the published source? What is the difference between its being published in some random journal, and its being published here? Either way, the source is the same, viz. the interview with Professor Glasner.

In fact, Professor Glasner has stated that his father and Rabbi Berkovits were friends; to say that Professor Glasner has accesss to intimate knowledge of both Rabbi Akiva Glasner and Rabbi Berkovits would be an understatement. I hardly think it reasonable for this source to be discounted.

 * Reiterating the comments of Orange Mike, WP does not accept, as a reliable source, interviews by our editors. This is a matter of WP:RS and WP:NOR. While you may disagree with this policy, you would need to raise your disagreement on the appropriate policy pages. Meanwhile, we should follow these policies, which are pretty straightforward and well-established. Thanks, HG | Talk 18:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Hebrew language page
Perhaps someone can please create a Hebrew page for Rabbi Glasner, משה שמואל גלאזנר and also replacing the aleph in גלאזנר with an ayin משה שמואל גלעזנר and deleting the aleph altogether משה שמואל גלזנר (these are three different spellings I've seen; any of the two can redirect to the third; the most recent publication of his book has the ayin in his name, so perhaps that is the best one to be the "homepage"). This page could just have a WikiProject Echo tag, and hopefully someone will come along and translate this page into Hebrew. At that point, someone can make sure the two pages are suitably cross-referenced to each other? Sevendust62 (talk) 01:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * My Hebrew skills are still very rudimentary; therefore, when the "cannot find this page" page comes up in Hebrew, I don't know which link is the link to actually create a new page. Sevendust62 (talk) 01:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem very worthwhile to have articles on he.wiki which just point to en.wiki articles, especially if they falsely claim the en article is featured. If you want the page translated into Hebrew, the place to request that is (assuming the interwiki isn't screwed up) here. If your Hebrew isn't good enough to ask there, the good people at Reference desk/Language might be willing to help you. Algebraist 03:55, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
