[edit] Promotion

Wikipedia is meant as a NEUTRAL ENCYCLOPEDIA, meant for factual information. Please do not turn this article into some kind of nearly commercial article. The text looked like it was taken straight from his own website, or something like that. I edited things some, deleted a few phrases which were merely irrelevant praise for the rav, and will try to find some time to do more work on it in the future. Thank you. --Daniel575 23:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Various neutrality problems with the article

I just looked at this article and noticed that it has severe problems with favorably biased language, a promotional tone, and a complete lack of sources. Additionally, the article says little on his views and teachings, which seems to be a significant omission.

I'm not going to work too much on the article now, as I am admittedly biased by having just read his response to the question, "How should Jews treat their Arab neighbors?" (near the bottom of the page). To quote: "The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle)." It seems the article should at least mention this and his other notable statements, in a neutral manner of course.

As a start, the whole article needs to be neutrally reworded and properly sourced.

As I was typing this, I noticed that Friedman's response was quoted in the article in a past revision, but had been removed. I've restored it, but that section could still use more detail. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 01:38, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I saw the problem with the quote was that it was taken out of context and he later apologized that it was misleading. He was responding to how Jews should react in a time of war when women, children and holy places are being used as human shields. See[1]Stringgame (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I removed the npov tag after carefuly checking over the article twice with a few months in between. If you feel the tag should be reinstated, please do so and explain here. Joe407 (talk) 12:51, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Family

Do we need a section detailing what each of his children are doing? I cleaned it up a bit but still... Thoughts? Joe407 (talk) 05:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC) i agree, it seems there only to fluff up the article, i a say delete —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.34.91.55 (talk) 21:16, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
