New Light incorrectly being called New Life

Using this source, which incorrectly called New Light, "New Life" (8 times), Ash Carol inserted this nonsense sentence into the Tenants and merger section: "New Light has subsequently sometimes been referred to as "New Life",[21] likely a mistake due to the similarity between a word in the synagogues' names." Who cares?! This is an encylopedia; if any sources make an undisputable error like this, we ignore it. We do not address and attempt to explain it in an encylopedia article, and we most certainly do not use an editor's personal opinion in the content to theorize why the mistake was made by the source(s)! Nonsense edits like this must stop. Further, the subject of this article is Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Congregation; therefore, the content relating to New Light should be limited solely to the fact that they rent space in the building. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 07:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

There is a difference between nonsense and things you do not personally care about.

• "Synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh shakes United States". Globe and Mail. Melvin Wax, a long-time member of the New Life Congregation .. three congregations – New Life, Tree of Life and Dor Hadash – have all come to call the synagogue home. The New Life congregation met in a downstairs area in what is formally called the New Life Chapel. On a typical Shabbat, about 20 people would show up to worship at New Life
  • Weiss, Zachary (27 October 2018). "Coverage Of The Mass Shooting In Tree Of Life Synagogue, Pittsburg; Past 72 Hours In This Country Have Been Filled With Tragic Rhetoric And Worse, Hateful Action Just Beyond Comprehension; Aired 10:00-11:00p ET". CNN. 22:00 ET. the synagogue is called tree of life, but there are also two other synagogues that rent space in the synagogue. So at the same time there were two services, one of which was from the Tree of Life and then there was another service from a separate synagogue called Dor Hadash (ph) and New Life

When there are repeated references to a non-existence "New Life" in different sources, clarifying this refers to New Light renting space from Tree of Life sounds like something which would be helpful to readers and help prevent the problem from recurring.

If you are saying I'm wrong about this being a mistake, that would mean "New Life" was an intentional alternate name for New Light, all the more reason to mention it. Ash Carol (talk) 07:39, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Are you trolling us? Your ongoing cluelessness and battles with everyone, whether intentional or not, is becoming a significant problem. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 12:06, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Renter situation

This was removed, 2605 said it wasn't encyclopedic. Why isn't it? Ash Carol (talk) 07:41, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Because this is an encylopedia and we don't care that a tenant of the subject is using the basement (or any other room). The subject of this article is Tree of Life – Or L'Simcha Congregation. All that's needed in this article about New Light is their name, when they were founded, and when they started renting space in the building. That's exactly what's in the article, with sources. So, as other editors have told you, stop trying to inject all this inappropriate minutiae. Are you seriously not understanding the basic concept of what qualifies for inclusion in an encylopedia, or are you just purposely causing all this disruption here and in the shooting article? 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 11:56, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
