Please read WP:BLP, and specifically WP:BLP. The bottom line is we just don't source criticism of living people to weblogs or other personal websites. Also please don't revert other edits for no good reason if as you claim there is printed discussion of Rapoport's opinions then references to them will have to be provided. Thanx Misarxist (talk) 13:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That newspaper item, on a different topic is fine. At the risk of repeating myself, the problem was with critical material from blogs, thanx for not adding that back. Misarxist (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Here is a link to Rapoport's review ( printed in PDF form. It makes for fascinating reading and would help round out Samuel Heilman's wikipedia entry.SeriousScholarship (talk) 17:22, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Still sourced to a blog, not good enough. Misarxist (talk) 09:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I hear ya. Well, the author posts his/their responses linked from his own website (see the "Seforim Blog" section), so I assume that this would be a legitimate source for at least half of the dialogue. Since I am not certain, please confirm. SeriousScholarship (talk) 09:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Like I said, sources from a blog just don't cut it, it doesn't make any difference if they've in pdf format. Misarxist (talk) 11:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
