This content would better be placed in the larger context of the movement. I saw we move it to Conservative Halakha along with the CJLS article in order to provide a more informative and cohesive series of articles. --yonkeltron 06:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
I reverted a number of recent edits by User:Mark3. The edits simply removed reliably sourced material, which in the editor's view portrayed the CJLS as "more radical than it really is". It is one thing to debate the way in which material is characterized (and the previous tone may have gone too far in the direction of critics). But it is another thing to simply remove legitimate, well-sourced material because one doesn't like it or its implications. The article needs to preserve a balance between supporters and critics of the CJLS and its actions. Simply removing critical material and leaving an article containing only a favorable viewpoint is not Wikipedia's way. See WP:NPOV. Similarly, material simply cannot be presented as fact in narrative, it needs to be attributed to reliable sources, particularly on controversial matters. Editors should expect that virtually every statement added to the article on highly controversial matters will require a source and unsourced statements will be challenged by editors who disagree -- and Wikipedia policies, which require sourcing and strongly encourage editors to challenge unsourced material, permit this.
There were reliable sources presented that the CJLS, in determining that Conservative Rabbis will not adjudicate mamzerut cases, expressly declared that the CJLS has a power to overturn Biblical law inconsistent with modern morality. Because sources were provided for the claims involved, they should not have been removed.
A better course of action in such matters would be to add ((fact)) tags (which appear as ((Fact))) to claims one believes are unsourced and discuss the matter on the article's talk page. It might also be better strategy to add new material before removing old, so a reversal of the removal doesn't end up removing everything. Best, --Shirahadasha 00:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Question: was the Dorff teshuva voted on as a Takanah? I was under the impression that papers were only votes on as takanot if they are deemed not to be sufficiently grounded in halakha. The Dorff paper certainly tries real hard to be grounded in halakha, so I thought it was voted on as a Teshuva. Flamholz 21:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I removed this material from the section on criticism of the CJLS.
This is not, in any way, a criticism of the CJLS! In fact, this entire section should be removed, as it is a poorly written mishmash of accusations that Conservatuve Judaism itself is not halakhic, which is the topic of an entirely different article. RK (talk) 18:04, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
