Does it belong here?
editDoes this "Manufacturing" section belong to an encyclopaedia article? --Barbatus 13:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I have eliminated the "Manufacturing" section in its entirety because it is purely polemical in intent, in part defamatory rather than neutral, largely concerns the identity of various internet bloggers and obviously does not belong in an encyclopaedia article describing a university professor. If the author of the section reinserts it into the article, there will be an editing war.Critical Reader 06:24, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I hope peace will be preserved ... --Barbatus 07:01, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
I fear not--he has inserted the rubbish again and I have deleted it. If you know the exact procedure for an edit war, please let me know.Critical Reader 08:11, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

editWe cannot have junk like that chucked into a biography of a living person. Come on, we can do better. Is this material even relevant? Moreschi Talk 11:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
{{editprotected}} Please correct link for Spertus College with brackets only around "Spertus College" thanks HG | Talk 07:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- That seems to redirect to the same page, Spertus Institute. Redirects are fine; there is no reason to edit the page just to switch from one to another. — Carl (CBM · talk) 19:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Neutrality, please
editJossi has unblocked this page and introduced a snide comment about Golb criticizing "scholars and institutions for rejecting his theories." This is simply not neutral, but seems to reflect Jossi's personal opinion (or at any rate the opinion of Golb's opponents) of what Golb did in his book. I have edited and added further sources accordingly. I find the footnote process very complicated; perhaps Jossi could help out footnoting the sources rather than having them as embedded links.Phillip Kirby (talk) 03:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Jossi, I would appreciate it if you could discuss before categorically eliminating sources I've introduced. You say "stay close to sources"--how am I not staying close to the New York Times article or to Magen and Peleg? If you still don't think I'm close to the sources, please explain what you mean so we can improve accordingly without having to retype the whole thing, it's simply impolite on your part to make me do that.
The real concern here, is that the article was not neutral with the single "Chicago Jewish News" quote you used, because there are widely different views on this idea of a "consensus"--a New York Times article of 2004 specifically quoted a Qumran scholar as stating "there is no longer any consensus" on the topic. Would you like me to source that article as well to argue with your point? All I want is for the article to come out in a neutral form, is that what you want?Phillip Kirby (talk) 04:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Sure. That is the aim. My edit was not a "snide" comment, but just describing what a source has tyo say about this subject. The concern is that from what I am reading Yitzhak Magen and Yuval Peleg do not mention Golb at all. Are they in support of Golb's positions? If not, we cannot add this to an article on Golb as we will be in violation of WP:NOR. Of course, the positions of Yitzhak Magen and Yuval Peleg can be fully described in Qumran. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 01:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
I wish to make a few points here:
(1) That Magen and Peleg don't cite Golb by name is irrelevant, the theory they propose (that Qumran was a secular site and that the scrolls came from the Jerusalem region and were not written by any single sect within ancient Judaism) is almost exactly the same as Golb's theory. In fact, the New York Times article about Magen and Peleg specifically quotes Golb as saying that the site may indeed have been used as a pottery factory.
(2) There are many well-known differences between traditional scrolls scholars (some think the "community" of Qumran were Essenes, some think it was a different sect; some think they lived in Qumran, some think they lived "around" Qumran; some think they wrote all the scrolls there, some think they only wrote "some" or "most" of them; etc.) and this has never prevented anyone from treating them all as defenders of the Qumran-sectarian theory. Clearly, Magen and Peleg support the diametrically opposed view of Golb, Elior and others (see the bibliography in Golb's review of the Virtual Qumran film cited in the article on William Schniedewind) who believe the scrolls had nothing to do with Qumran or any single sect and came from the Jerusalem region.
(3) As for why Magen and Peleg don't cite Golb by name, I think the answer is clear: the range of responses to Golb's book have been charged with volatile emotions, as is clear from various statements reported in the press (e.g., M. Broshi's declaration, reported in Haaretz, that "we will be rid of Golb when he dies"). Magen and Peleg are clearly saying, by their very silence, that they and their team have reached these conclusions independently and will not be drawn into a vicious personal quarrel opposing Golb and other scholars.

- You are welcome to add material about this fascinating dispute at Qumran, where there is already material about it. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:14, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

it's a dhcp address from The University of Chicago NSIT: Networking Services & Information Technologies, so think laptop, mac, or perhaps a vpn from the outside...
