Karl Weidel.

Can we take the last sentence back to my wording? The current version seems to a bit too tabloidy for an encyclopedia. -- Jeandré, 2008-10-11t17:53z

Do you have a ref for his birth date, not just the year? -- Jeandré, 2008-10-11t17:55z

I've received an email questioning the McGraw article's accuracy. Do you know of another source for the things referenced to it in the article? -- Jeandré, 2008-10-11t18:12z

What exactly is in dispute? If it's the circumstances of his death, I've added a few extra sources. --Offenbach (talk) 20:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Challenged is age at death: 72, not 73; and from that the entire McGraw article. The Hunterdon article also states 73, and eventho it may just be copying an incorrect age from the earlier McGraw article, it's still a newspaper article which trumps an contradiction in an email. I'm leaving the disputed tag for now, but if within a few days I don't get a source for 72, or a source for a birth date showing it to be 72; anyone can remove it.

"The source should be cited clearly and precisely to enable readers to find the text that supports the article content in question." - wp:v

I've commented out the http://www.ancestry.com/ ref for birth and death dates because I couldn't find any results when searching for

Same problems with Factiva and AP ref.

I've put in direct URLs for the McGourty and Hunterdon sources - it's better than just linking to a search page.

The biggest problem however from the complainer is the mention of suicide. I said that since it's referenced and the notable kind of thing an encyclopedic biography entry should have, it will have to stay. What I'm asking for is the removal of the how and place of the suicide - it's fine for newspapers trying to sell ads, but not for an encyclopedia which is a tertiary source and should have a different tone. -- Jeandré, 2008-10-12t12:15z

I've looked at it again and removed the disputed template. -- Jeandré, 2008-10-12t12:28z

I've restored the reference for birth and death dates. In the footnote I've added the information from the SSDI record, which is available here for Ancestry.com members. --Offenbach (talk) 14:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Christopher Daggett.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Christopher Daggett.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 21:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Rabbi Levy Izhak Rosenbaum

I found the information in the American Jewish journal Forward, in the article Scandal Sparks New Debate Over Specter's Organ Legislation: "While human organs trafficking of the sort allegedly conducted by Rabbi Levy Izhak Rosenbaum is widely condemned". The article was published on 5 August 2009, so I guess if the information was wrong they would have corrected the article. This was on the other hand not mentioned in other articles. --Pylambert (talk) 08:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The coverage of the arrests (such as articles from the AP and the New York Times) said there were five rabbis implicated. The New York Times said the five were Saul J. Kassin, Mordchai Fish, Lavel Schwartz, Eliahu Ben Haim, and Edmund Nahum. Rosenbaum is not called a rabbi in that article or in others that I've read. The Star-Ledger calls him "a self-styled real estate dealer from Brooklyn." Similarly, the criminal complaint against him says he is "a resident of Brooklyn, New York, [who] was purportedly involved in the real estate business." The five rabbis are identified as such in the criminal complaints. —Offenbach (talk) 12:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Disputed English Grammar

Dear Hon. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Offenbach,

I am the one who so-called "contributed" the "Sound" part in the article for Disputed English Grammar. You had dismissed it as "no basis" in your reasons for undoing my so-called "contribution".

I don't [pardon my informal written style] know which world you come from, but perhaps one in which people acquired languages by beginning with a study of the rules of grammar as or before they start to speak.

In my world, and in almost every world I know of in this world, people acquire languages by listening or, if you would like, "studying" sounds in speeches. And as such, native-speakers' minds think phonetically when speaking.

All of us in this world except probably yours, and except also some of those who acquired languages as a non-native speaker, tend to employ this form/methodology of language-acquisition, -development, and/or -expansion until the day we pass away.

That is why those who never had any education could seemingly speak well but could not write well. And why I won't be making "any future contributions" [note the clear grammatical error but which just sounds bloody nice to hear and perceive] to this wild worldipedia.

As a mother-tongue speaker of English, as well as being a native-speaker of two other languages (one of which is spoken by approx. 1.3 billion [not including the others who are wandering around the world with other nationalities] of the total population in this world), I have NEVER needed to train my mind, nor strain my mind to consider the rules of grammar when speaking any of those three languages. You could say that I speak as if I am singing a song.

Anyway, I am "user-talking" to you because you had stated that my so-called "contribution" has "no basis".

Perhaps if you'd think harder before making "no basis" comments, I wouldn't have bothered you and about you. Perhaps you have a basis for why people could speak and write so differently.

And perhaps I should end this "user-talking" now.

Good day!

Yours, Prescriptivist

I will add the source and the document. I think it was from his passport application.

It's clear that your edits come in bursts, rather than editing every day, but the quality and quantity of your work demonstrates a level of contribution that deserves to be recognized. I'm not one who hands out many barnstars (I've probably handed out a handful in all my years), but the scope and breadth of your contributions, as demonstrated by the substantial number of articles you've created and all those accepted at DYK, shows a level of contribution that could not simply be given a mere "thank you".
