Controversy
editI deleted the section [1] until it could be sourced, weasel wording eliminated, and cleaned up a bit. The other books section was not necessary. The article is about this book. Perhaps a section pointing to the controversy as a whole could be added, but adding random books that disagree with this books thesis smacks of soapboxing or some other shady motive.

- The argument which u deleted is well known thrust on this book and its copied and translated by me from the Hebrew wikipedia, I also put back the other books since in all wikipedia languages it is important this be enumerated since they all refer to refute this book, thanks--YY (talk) 12:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Wording
editit is recorded that Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum read this volume in one night, and did not allow himself to sleep until he proved it totally wrong - this phrase seems strange for encyclopedia. It is more like storyies of Hassids about their Rebbes.lkitross (talk) 20:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC) 79.180.176.70 was me, forgot to login lkitross (talk) 21:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Besides Satmar
editThe article reads "This book is considered one of utmost importance by Satmar Hasidim and other members of the Edah HaChareidis in the Land of Israel as well as the Central Rabbinical Congress in North America". I think it is pretty clear to any Haredi Jew that sefer Vayoel Moshe is not "of utmost importance" to anybody i the world besides Satmar. But since in Israel the Eda Hachardis is somewhat independant of Satmar and perhaps the Vayoel Moshe is expescially important to them, therefore I left that part. However, in the USA, the CRC is just an organization. As far kehilos are concerned, it clearly does not represent anyone besides Satmar as I wrote. How many people are there of Dushinski and Toldos Aharon in NY anyway? And of those few people, how many of them find Vayoel Moshe of utmost importance in the year 2009? I'm not going to fight and edit again and again, but the article is misleading.--Ortho (talk) 03:44, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not Satmar, and I do, as well as my rebbeim, also not Satmar. And many others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.63.51.250 (talk) 22:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Accuracy
editMark me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Satmar Rebbe write dozens of books all called "Vayoel Moshe"? Yserbius (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:14, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
No, I think you are thinking of "Divrei Yoel", which was the title of his rather large work al haTorah, as well as his responsa. Vayoel Moshe is one specific book High Leader (talk) 17:00, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
