Obsolete information

The article lede places the LIBR's headquarters in Deer Park, NY, based on this reference. However, the cited reference provides the address of a synagogue that has been closed for at least five years, so I suspect the group has either disbanded or moved headquarters.

I find it odd that a group that manages to get itself in the news so often has no website of its own. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:52, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. What information, other than original research, can you share with us in this regard? As I expect you know, but others who read this may not, we don't effect changes based on facts and allegations not already published by reliable sources, or analysis or synthesis by editors of published material, where the analysis or synthesis advances a position not advanced by the sources.

Of course, what we would need to effect a change is an RS indicating either that the Board (not the synagogue -- we don't know that if one moves, the other necessarily moves) is no longer there, or what its address is now. In which case we could change the mention to past tense, and indicate the new location. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
