Talk:Moshe Teitelbaum (Satmar)

Illness

I will regularly update this article as the Rebbe's condition is progressing. Please understand that the section 'current illness' is only temporarily. May his condition soon get better so that he can be released from the hospital in full health. Please understand that most likely, the majority of people who look at this article are religious Jews, and this temporary addition will surely be greatly appreciated. --Daniel575 02:11, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Crzrussian - as I just wrote (while you edited the article and took out the useful information), most people who will be looking at this page, especially right now, will be orthodox Jews looking for the Rebbe's Jewish name. And please understand that this section is only temporary and may be gone in a day or two. People who hear about the Rebbe's illness may use Google to look for 'Moshe Teitelbaum' to find his Jewish name - so then they can find it here. Understand? --Daniel575 02:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Look, Daniel, I don't know how to explain this to you. This is an encyclopedia, not a message board. It's not for temporary notices. Even in deserving cases. This stuff does not belong on the Rebbe's page. I am going to take it out one more time, and it'll be my 2nd revert. Since you know a user is liable to be blocked for thrice-reverting, I will not be able to fix it again if you stubbornly insist - but I will involve an administrator to deal with it. PLEASE, let's not make a scene. Orthodox Jews don't look to Wikipedia for praying instructions, that's for sure. - the.crazy.russian τ ç ë 02:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Please go ahead and call in an administrator. You might also want to consider making useful additions instead of useless deletions. My arguments are totally reasonable and there is nothing strange about them. It is very common for things like these to be updated around the clock. If George Bush would lie in a hospital in this state, his article would get updated 60 times per hour as well with the newest information. And nobody would object. --Daniel575 02:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Title

The article began with "Moshe Teitelbaum ..."; I edited it to "Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum". Which is much more appropriate. I understand that we cannot write 'shlita' on Wikipedia, but 'Rabbi' is the least we can write. --Daniel575 02:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Old things

This page should be a disambig between the first Moshe Teitelbaum, the Rebbe of Ujhel, and the present Satmar Rebbe. Anyone? JFW | T@lk 14:30, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Not necessary, Rabbi "Moshe Teitelbaum" generally refers to 'our' Rebbe, not the one from years ago. So if someone looks for Rabbi 'Moshe Teitelbaum', there is a 99% chance that he is looking for information about this Rebbe. --Daniel575 02:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

How many mourners?

See [1]: 125K before midnight - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 15:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Note the text in your source: "Estimates of the number of mourners expected in Kiryas Joel have reached as high as 125,000. Traffic tie ups are anticipated and could possibly extend into the morning commute....". It ended up being about 20,000, see [2] and there were no traffic tie ups.--Geekish 08:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 14:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Place of birth

There seems to be soms confusion about this rebbe's place of birth. This article mentions two: Ratzfert (Újfehértó, Hungary, in the text) and Sighet (now Romania, in the box). Which is the correct place? Fransvannes (talk) 07:54, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I changed the info to what it says in the body of the article, which is sourced.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:52, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
