Talk:Noah Weinberg

Still no sources
Hi, I'm bringing another urging for sourcing of the BLP. My last comment on this was three months ago and there's been no progress. I deleted the part about him controlling the network of rabbis. I've heard criticisms of some overseas branches (particularly Florida and London), and Aish reps deny he's in control of all of them or discuss the amount of control he has, and this could possibly be contentious because of such things. I deleted it until it can be sourced. Basejumper2 08:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, we're going to be able to provide plenty of source material once the hespedim come in. Stay tuned. Yoninah (talk) 09:42, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Moved from page to talk page
Rav Noach started a yeshiva a bnei brak, israel and left it growing to achieve his goal of a teachers yeshiva (currently Aish International) and then co-founded Ohr Samaech yeshiva, also currently growing; then founded Aish HaTorah in the Old City of Jerusalem so his direction of education, to educate educators of the jewish people could be established. Currently all 3 schools fulfill specific purposes in Jewish education, each unique.

Tone tag
I have added a "tone" tag to the "teachings" section, as it is not suitable for an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. While it is important to note his beliefs in teachings, they must be treated from a neutral point of view and should never address the reader (ie. "taught us..."). Please do not remove this tag until the issues have been cleared up and please feel free to ask any questions on my talk page. Cheers, CP 03:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories
Dear Treesheads, the original list of categories included many umbrella topics, such as "Jews", "Judaism," "Aliyah", "Rabbis" and "Jews and Judaism in Israel" which are incredibly broad categories which have SUB-CATEGORIES, where Rabbi Weinberg and others like him rightly belong! I clicked on every single category to see what was going on, and found Rabbi Weinberg listed where no other rabbi has dared to tread! Please click on the categories I left, and you'll see what I mean. Yoninah (talk) 22:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

There are many categories that are overlapping, have sub-catagories, etc. These are all still valid. Why do they bother you so much? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treesheads (talk • contribs) 23:41, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


 * WHen an article is in subcategories, their parent categories should not usually be present as well. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 08:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I also have a question about the use of the InfoRebbeBox template. This template is designed for Hasidic Rebbes and includes listings for "dynasty", "predecessor", "successor", etc. No other rosh yeshiva seems to have this box on his page, and I think it should be deleted.

Lung cancer, broken bones, death
The article states he had treatment, broke bones, died. Was the cancer treatment successful? Were the broken bones caused by the cancer treatment or metastasis from lung to bones? Was the cancer and / or the broken bones the cause of his death? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 08:14, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
Replaced with virtually identical infobox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treesheads (talk • contribs) 18:52, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Treesheads: Where did you get this idea of putting in an infobox? It does not appear on any other article of regular rabbanim, such as Aharon Feldman, Nosson Tzvi Finkel, Moshe Feinstein, etc. What's needed here is a picture, not an infobox.
 * And why are you putting in so many generic categories? If you read the guidelines at WP:Categorization, you will see that specific sub-categories are preferred over general supra-categories. Why in the world did you list Noah Weinberg under Category: Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah? He wasn't a gadol like the other rabbanim who are listed there. Yoninah (talk) 22:50, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Moshe Feinstein has an infobox —Preceding unsigned comment added by Treesheads (talk • contribs) 02:01, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I would agree with Treeheads regarding the infobox. However, the type of infobox and the type of information it should hold is of editorial discretion and WP:CONSENSUS applies.-- brew crewer  (yada, yada)

Rosh yeshiva
He was a Rosh yeshiva. Why delete that category? Is in not accurate? Does it conform to WP standards? If not, please explain? Is is not vandalism to remove a Rosh yeshiva from the a Rosh yeshiva catagory? Treesheads (talk) 03:31, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Treesheads


 * Look closely, he's in Category:Rosh yeshivas. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 03:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Ohr Somayach
He co-founded Ohr Somayach. Do not delete that category. Treesheads (talk) 03:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Treesheads

Jewish outreach category
He was one of, if not the top person in the world in Jewish outreach. He founded Aish Hatorah, and co-founded Ohr Somayach. The category in not redundant. Do not delete that category. Treesheads (talk) 03:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Rabbi Weinberg's father was not a Rabbi.
It is stated in this article that the Rav's father was also a Rabbi. This needs to be clarified. In this (http://www.simpletoremember.com/media/a/345-19-wn790j-48-ways-19/) recording, Rabbi Weinberg says clearly that 'my father was a businessman, he wasn't a Rabbi'. Should this be changed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfehenson (talk • contribs) 13:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
