Reading this article makes me think that he only got involved in controversies. Did he do anything else? -- PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 03:09, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure that the section Misappropriation of charitable funds is properly sourced. Primary sources, such as court records, should not be used in BLPs for controversial material. Please find secondary sources to support the material in that section. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, specific problems with this article: 1) The section "deal with proescutors" isn't clear which above issue it is talking about. It should be clarified and moved into that section. 2) Do we have any citation for the last sentence in the Luchin's section? I'm skeptical about it for a variety of reasons, including the issue that rabbinic courts generally won't do anything unless both parties are present, so if Luchin was not attending (as discussed above) it would be halachically problematic for the court to convene (unless I'm missing something here. The hilchot of beit dinim isn't an area I know a lot about). 3) The article in some locations uses "beit din" and others "rabbinic court". I'm not sure if some distinction is meant here, but if so it should be cleared up. If not, we should just use rabbinc court and link to beth din(the main article) and maybe use the term "beit din" once the first time either term appears in the article.

This is the blatant AD I have ever seen in wikipedia "and in the end everything was found to la de da!" He is a saint no doubt. This article is a total mess. Lobojo ( talk) 00:56, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
He was convicted of extortion. He's doing four years in the pen. That qualifies him as a criminal. Please don't try to delete that. Really, the article is favorable compared to, say, The Forward's article, "The storied career of an indomitable ultra-Orthodox political fixer appears to have entered its final phase with the conviction of Rabbi Milton Balkany, known to the press as the “Brooklyn Bundler."

-while this article seems to contain mostly accurate information
-it is unfairly biased and potentialy libelous -facts are inferred and further extrapolated on -when they are not directly listed in the referenced sources -the author(s) take tremendous journalistic freedom that does not belong in any encyclopedia |
