Tax scandal

There should be something here about the tax scandal! 06:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Josh

No there should not, it has nothing with Spinka but with N T Weisz, and it exists here.--Shmaltz (talk) 03:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Josh is totally corerct. It is rather silly to object to edit warring when that is exactly what you are doing. I am aware of the 3rr and will not break it. But you must not remove accurate info that is agaist your POV on spurious grounds. Lobojo (talk) 03:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

While if it's accurate or not is not the point at the moment (it was unsourced in this article), it belongs at here just like it belongs here. Do you realize there are currently over a dozen Spinka Rebbes? I disagree it should be in there as it is now (a sub under N T Weisz), since WP:Summary style does not apply to contents of another article, but to an article of itself, and the Tax Scheme story with him is not the article but his biography is. BTW, my second reversion was a mistake, as can be seen from the fact that I didn't put a summery. At the moment you are edit warring, and I will issue a second warning, it's up to you to delete them. This looks more like WP:content forking than informative.--Shmaltz (talk) 03:58, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment Firstly, nothing, especially nothing derogatory, should be brought without a reliable source. Secondly, allegations against a part are not ipso facto allegations against the whole. -- Avi (talk) 04:22, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Since the discussion relates to one of the Spinka Grand Rabbis, I think it's appropriate to include. However, it should certainly be sourced and described for what it is - i.e. merely allegations. See for example, the FBI report here: http://losangeles.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel07/la121907usa.htm Cgislander (talk) 19:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC) --User:Cgislander

Fair use rationale for Image:Spinklbb.JPG

Image:Spinklbb.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Ulemer Rabbis of the Friedman family from the Spinka line

Shmuel Friedman had a small synagogue in his home in the Rego Park section of Queens. None of his congregants were his “Hasidim”. Furthermore, although he referred to himself as the Rabbi of the Ulm DP camp, the real official rabbi of the camp was M. Weisslader. Friedman’s son, Yaakov Yitzchak, currently has a small synagogue in the basement of his home in Kew Gardens Hills. None of his congregants are his “Hasidim”. There doesn’t seem to be any reason to include every non-notable descendant of Spinka Hasidic dynasty in this Wikipedia page — this isn’t a genealogy website--2021friedman2021 (talk) 15:11, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
