Reversion of major changes

I removed many links that were either un-sourced or poorly sourced links, especially in the Speaking Engagement and Awards section, and subsequently, the text that went with these links. Understandably, this removed many speaking engagements and awards. If other editors wish to add back in what was deleted, please make sure it is supported by reliable sources prior to doing so. These talks and awards may indeed be supported somewhere with appropriate sources, however, I was unable to locate at present, and to retain within Wikipedia guidelines for a biography, they were removed. Additionally, when referencing awards, please refrain from using superfluous adjectives otherwise, it is promotional. Edudent (talk) 13 May 2012 (UTC)

I just reverted a large number of edits by a SPA. These edits had removed properly cited references, and just generally multilated the article. New editors should be aware that all content added to BLPs must be supported by reliable sources (e.g., we need a reliable source to state that he has four kids, otherwise, that factoid goes). Also, any removal of properly sourced content must be accompanied by explanation here on the talk page or in your edit summary. Otherwise, it may be reverted. In the future, it's probably a good idea to discuss your changes here first. SheepNotGoats (talk) 14:09, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Shai Reshef. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090803011308/http://usnews.feedroom.com:80/?fr_story=b16c104eaddb80aa23a59bfd899d1efcbc403ffa, to http://usnews.feedroom.com/?fr_story=b16c104eaddb80aa23a59bfd899d1efcbc403ffa,

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Early Life - Incorrect Info

This discussion has been disrupted by block evasion, ban evasion, or sockpuppetry from the following user:

Shai Reshef is not the child of Polish-Jewish Holocaust survivors, there is no resource anywhere that mentions this. Can someone please remove it? --KieraLewison (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@KieraLewison: The cited source [1] states "Physically short in stature, the self-deprecating Reshef is a child of Polish Jewish Holocaust refugees, husband of painter Rotem Reshef and father of four college-age children." TJMSmith (talk) 14:59, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TJMSmith: That source is an old article that contains incorrect information. We were recently made aware of the misinformation and tried contacting the reporter without any luck. However, I recommend that the information be removed from this Wikipedia page because there is no other evidence to support what is written, and I know first hand from Shai Reshef that it is false information. --KieraLewison (talk) 08:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a discussion to examine the the reliability of The Jewish Week. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion! TJMSmith (talk) 13:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are not an RS, and I suggest you read wp:or.Slatersteven (talk) 15:28, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@KieraLewison: This is something that should be taken up with the volunteer response team, see WP:OTRS, they should be able to assist you. Kind regards Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~I suggest we just leave out this factoid. It only has one source, and it doesn't add much to Rshef's bio.--Bob not snob (talk) 09:00, 7 May 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

New Award Addition

Hiya! I'm Dana and I work on the content team for University of the People. Shai recently won an award—The 2023 Yidan Prize for Education Development. It would be great to add this to his page. Here are some sources to confirm: https://yidanprize.org/laureates/shai-reshef https://apnews.com/article/yidan-prize-foundation-shai-reshef-michelene-chi-33e49c1c3ebbde526f9b55ff77f7656d https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/09/27/yidan-prize-foundation-shai-reshef-michelene-chi/d4c8ba28-5d5f-11ee-b961-94e18b27be28_story.html

Thank you! Edudent (talk) 17:28, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spam

The source "University of the People: an education model worth emulating" was written by himself (Shai Reshef 25 November 2023). The article doesn't say anything useful apart from speaking highly of his University of the People, and it even sounds AI-generated.

"Yidan Prize: Michelene Chi and Shai Reshef awarded the world's highest accolade in education" is a self-published press release too.

On the whole, the "prizes" lack encyclopedic interest. 217.201.2.16 (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
