Reference?
You added "Jewish" to Rachel Yakar, but please also add a reference. It is not mentioned in the following reference, which is misleading. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:21, 1 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Gerda,
 * Thanks for the question.
 * Here is BARD's answer to the question "Was Rachel Yakar Jewish"?
 * "Yes, Rachel Yakar was Jewish. She was born in Lyon, France, to
 * a Jewish family of Greek-Turkish origin."
 * Here is ChatGPT's answer to the same question:
 * "Yes, Rachel Yakar was Jewish. She is a renowned Israeli soprano
 * who was born on November 5, 1938, in Jerusalem, British Mandate
 * Palestine (now Israel). Yakar has achieved international acclaim
 * for her performances in opera and concert, particularly in the
 * field of Baroque music."
 * Add to this the fact "Yakar" is a very common Jewish surname in
 * Sephardi Jewish communities in Greece, Turkey and Israel, and is
 * never encountered among Christians.
 * It is not obvious to me what do you mean by "reference". Are you
 * asking for notarized copies of people's birth certificates ?!?
 * Have you ever seen Helene Grimaud's or Martha Argerich's birth
 * certificates? Or Arthur Rubinstein's? We could go on forever.
 * Best regards,

 * Thank you for explaining. I believe you that she was Jewish. However, I understand that you are here from 2016, and should soon have been told and have understood that for Wikipedia it doesn't matter if something is true, - it has to be verifiable by a reliable source (reference, citation) which should be mentioned right after the fact by "inline citation". You put in the fact "Jewish family" in an existing sentence with a citation (Kutsch/Riemens), but that citation doesn't have it. That is misleading. Please find a good reliable citation (ChatJPT is downright wrong about her place of birth, and not reliable at all, and I doubt that Bard is much better) for her being Jewish, and add it right after the fact. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:58, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I have been on Wikipedia since the early 90s!
 * Where do you get your data? Your request for a
 * "reliable citation" is unreasonable and absurd
 * in this context. Can you show me a "realiable
 * citation" that "proves" Martha Argerich is
 * Jewish? Or that any of the several hundred
 * musicians listed as Jewish in the Wikipedia
 * are or were actually Jewish?
 * Let's be serious.
