Talk:Yeshiva Toras Moshe

Is the Rabbi Nachum Persovich listed of Mir, which is spelled on Wikipedia as Nochum Partzovitz? KLdd15 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:34, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

YU diatribe
could you please explain why you are violating WP:NPOV with your recent edits attacking YU? Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 21:03, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't understand your question. The anti-Y.U. stance is a long-standing school policy, articulated as recently as last week by one of its faculty.  If you are concerned about people attacking YU, you should address your question to Dr. Meiselman or Mr. Kornreich.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalman613 (talk • contribs) 04:01, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The yeshiva may oppose Y.U., but the way you phrased it in the article violates Wikipedia's policy against inserting point of view into articles. Also, the Slifkin Challenge blogspot is not a reliable reference, so I removed it. Anything that appears on Wikipedia must be neutral and balanced. Yoninah (talk) 10:11, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

I will make the tone more neutral. With respect to Kornreich's blog not being reliable, I don't understand what you are saying. He is a Rosh Chabura at the yeshiva, and has been there for the better part of two decades, if not longer. If you believe that his blog has been hacked and it is not him who made these statements, let me know and I will alert him to this. Or do you believe that he is falsely depicting his Rebbe Muvhak's positions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalman613 (talk • contribs) 12:52, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It has nothing to do with who Kornreich is. Blogs are not acceptable sources on Wikipedia. Yoninah (talk) 13:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

I suggest that you re-read the Wikipedia policy on quoting blogs. It does not say that they are never acceptable sources. While a blog may not be relied on for statement of absolute fact, Kornreich's blog is an authentic expression of the opinion of a faculty member of the institution, and can be quoted as such. If Kornreich were quoted in the Wall Street Journal making the same statements, there would be no objection to citing them on Wiki. All the more so then when they come from his own website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalman613 (talk • contribs) 13:38, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Being a faculty member is actually not enough to consider the use of his self published material.-Serialjoepsycho- (talk) 00:21, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
