About this camp

I would really like to keep this page. Although it is not the most notable and important camp, it is of great historical meaning to it's members. This page is a source as to what occurs at this camp.Without this, Camp Massad has no database. Please do not delete it. Markovsiu (talk) 23:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia does not serve as a webhost. If you can verify that this camp meets the notability guidelines for businesses with reliable sources, please do. If you're just looking for a source for campers, you might want to consider seeking out another web service provider who can better accommodate your needs. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 02:53, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Directions for editing

Jewish camping is an important part of American Jewish history. Limiting to only an arbitrary definition of "notable" distorts the picture and is less than encyclopedic. However, an encyclopedia entry should focus more on the history of the camp over the decades, the reason for its founding, etc., and less on its contemporary structure and shtick, which leads the article to read like a brochure. There should also be an article on the now-defunct Camp Massad of Ontario. Note multiple print references to the Massad camps on ["Google Books"] In particular, this Hebrew-language monograph [1] on the Massad camps should serve as a good basis for an excellent encyclopedia article.Yudel (talk) 22:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Camp Massad (Montreal)

This wiki entry provides much accurate information about this summer camp. The initial author, as well as subsequent contributors, have done a worthy job in putting together this information and adding to wikipedia's wealth of knowledge.

At the same time, the other Camp Massad entries (Manitoba, Poconos) don't seem to have been put in question, and so why would this one be scrutinized? Massadnik2 (talk) 21:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
