"We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons—whether the material is negative, positive, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

The comments I deleted did not have a source. The paragraph I asked for verification had a hidden request "Is there no English source for this? If not please provide the passage with a translation from the Russian sources on the talk page." --PBS (talk) 22:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * See WP:PROVEIT:"The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" --PBS (talk) 12:50, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added half dozen legitimate citations in English for your perusal.Lute88 (talk) 19:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It is starting to look better but there are still Russian language citations, and some of the citations are to websites that are not reliable. Please fix the citations so that they are in a format similar to that in WP:CITE, and we still need a translation for relevant passages of the Russian language cited sources here on the talk page with English translations. --PBS (talk) 21:11, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've ordered the Semyon Reznik book from the library so that we can verify it as a source.
 * As for criticisms and descriptions, let's try to keep the neutral point of view. That means reporting viewpoints without adopting them. It's OK to say that he has been described as an anti-semite. It's not so good to say he's an anti-semite.   Will Beback    talk    21:18, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * We also need to say who has described him as such. Attribution of criticism isn't just a matter of sourcing.--Scott Mac (Doc) 21:21, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
