Questions

 * This article has no images. Good article criteria says that a GA is "Illustrated, if possible, by images", and it seems like it should be possible to create or obtain photos of the building or people involved. On the other hand, the Reviewing good articles guideline says "Images are encouraged but not required." Have you tried to get images of this temple? What's the status there? – Quadell (talk) 14:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I looked on Flickr but couldn't find anything. I've now asked for images on the Oregon wikiproject and added the correct template to the top of this page. Jayjg (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There are (non-free) photos on the congregation's Facebook page. It may be fruitful to try to contact the Facebook group, or the main webpage has contact information. – Quadell (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've emailed Rabbi Maurice Harris, who is one of the listed contacts (and who has apparently edited the article fairly recently), and asked him if he could provide any. Given his apparent interest in the article, I felt he would better understand what Wikipedia is, and be more sympathetic to the request. Jayjg (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm unclear about Kinberg's departure, in the "Schism" section. It seems like Kinberg signed a petition requesting that either the mechitza be removed, or those using it to leave. They left. And so then he left as well? I'm not clear on why. Also, the last paragraph of "Schism" says "During his tenure, membership rose from 118 to 350 families", but it's unclear whether that's his tenure in Beth Israel (and membership of Beth Israel), or his tenure (and membership) in the new synagogue mentioned in the previous sentence. – Quadell (talk) 15:03, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've re-worded those points to (hopefully) make it more clear. Jayjg (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Your edit definitely makes it more clear, thank you... but it introduces a new problem. Now there is a direct quote without an immediate reference. (And the next sentence has two refs, so it's not clear which one provides the quote.) – Quadell (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, fixed now. Jayjg (talk) 17:09, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In "Attacks by neo-Nazis", it says that Chris Lord was motivated by a newspaper article, but I can't find that information in the sources. What's the source for that? – Quadell (talk) 15:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I've linked the page number in the reference to the page on Google books. Jayjg (talk) 22:29, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see the info was in the source all along. My bad. Your edit makes this info more clear. – Quadell (talk) 01:14, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
