This Rabbi was the subject of an Orthodox Rabbinical Biography Collaboration of the Week.

Lehi, revisionist zionist terrorist gang

Aryeh Levin encouraged imprisoned Lehi members in their facist (selfdescriptionn of the lehi) endeavour. Yes, this implys that the existing article is a farce. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.51.13.19 (talk) 09:22, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Aryeh levine" has 576 G-hits while "aryeh levin" has 565... it's close but I think Levine is the more correct and accepted usage. Many thanks, Nesher 15:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I disagree. "Levin" is the spelling used in the official English-language biography, A Tzaddik in Our Time, and in articles in the Orthodox Jewish press. "Levine" should be a redirect. Yoninah 16:29, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - CrazyRougeian talk/email 16:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth

Bialystok is not northern Lithuania or Lithuania at all for this matter. It is north-eastern Poland if anything.

Sources?

Anyone has the "Tzaddik in our time" books? Any other sources? - CrazyRougeian talk/email 16:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have the "Tzaddik in Our Time" book, and have started using it to flesh out the biography. My edits conflicted with a skeleton outline inserted on the page, and I erased the latter. (Good directions, though. Maybe it could be put into <brackets>?) Yoninah 18:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe "what" could be out into <brackets>? Rabbi-m 02:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marseilles

What did he do there? - CrazyRougeian talk/email 13:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that's where I got up to in his biography. It takes time to write these Wikipedia articles! Hopefully I'll finish up over the next week. Yoninah 18:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

footnotes!

we are aiming for: Wikipedia:What is a featured article?

- (c) "factually accurate" includes supporting of facts with specific evidence and external citations (see Wikipedia:Verifiability); these include a "References" section where the references are set out, complemented where appropriate by inline citations (see Wikipedia:Citing sources). For articles with footnotes or endnotes, the meta:cite format is strongly encouraged;

Please, use footnotes. IMHO, when summarizing from another source, like "Tzaddik in our Time," a single Harvard referencing citation at the end of each paragraph is a clear way to cite. the other two methods force you to look at the end of the page or at a balloon for the citation, and since they are all from the same source, all we rally are looking for is page number. Thus, the Harvard system seems clearest. Rabbi-m 03:07, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I put a general reference on the Aryeh Levin article and not an in-line citation is because practically the whole article is being researched from "A Tzaddik in Our Time." In contrast, the wimpel article includes pieces of information from many different sources, in which case I backed up certain statements with an in-line reference. Maybe I'm wrong (I'm not so into the technical side of Wikipedia as much as the writing side). Yoninah 04:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

to meet wiki standards, I think it shows there was research in putting together an article to keep footnoting, even where all of it comes from a single source. Rabbi-m 05:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

other sources

There must be references to him in books about the underground fighters. Does anyone have any?

take a look at רימון בין הלבבות section of Etzel martyr Meir Feinstein's Hebrew wiki entry to get a sense why Rav Levin was so unusual... can someone find this story in a sourced place? I found a reference to the story in another version at Etzel's site.

Also, I would love to close the article with his own quote "There was an old Jew in Jerusalem who loved us so very much!" quoted here which itself I think is quoting from Raz's book. what's the wiki policy on rights to using a direct quote when it itself is a quote? Rabbi-m 04:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

The British overseers of Palestine stiffened their grip on the necks of the Jews in direct proportion to the Arabs’ penchant for stirring up violent riots.

I detect a POV in the above un-sourced material......Ashley kennedy3 (talk) 18:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This nonsensical statement, and others like it, have been removed. This article needs references and serious copyediting. Adding POV tags is provocative and unnecessary.--Gilabrand (talk) 19:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
