"The first organization dedicated to the preservation of Yiddish language and culture"? Come on now. I will change to something accurate, like "the first well-funded American Jewish..." Zackarysholemberger 20:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
It appears that a contributor is replacing the neutral tone established earlier with material that resembles advertising. I have reverted some content reflect this and have undone these edits. If I have not recovered some of the interesting and valid seeming criticism, please add the deleted text back. If these types of changes are made again, I believe they should be reported. -- Libhober ( talk) 02:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
After updates, I have removed the POV dispute from October 2009 in accordance with NPOV policy.-- Guldenberg ( talk) 17:09, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
In § Collections, the figure of "nearly 700" books in the Steiner Yizkor Book Collection was flagged as "citation needed".
I didn't see any number on the site, but when I saw how the Collection info was arranged, I realized that it should be easy to count them. The Yizkor books are listed in alphabetical order of the names of the communities, spread across four webpages. For each page, I visited it and had my browser display its HTML. I pasted that to a temporary file and extracted the lines of code corresponding to the name of the community, appending them to another temporary file. Then I counted the lines:
grep ') ' foo
grep ') ' foo >> bar
[iterate for all four pages]
wc bar

I have copyedited the article and tried to removed advertisement-like tone. If no one disagrees, I will remove the 'COI' and 'advert' tags. I think that the 'third-party' tag should stay in place Leschnei ( talk) 22:40, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I’m Lisa ( ComCom18) and - full disclosure – I’m an employee of the Yiddish Book Center. I respect the Wikipedia guidelines so I want to make sure there’s no COI. We are at the beginning of our relationship as a GLAMwiki partner organization and are making plans on how best to share expert knowledge and resources relating to Yiddish literature and culture! We are in contact with sadads and PatHadley for advice with this. Initially, I’d like to help provide information and suggested edits to improve and correct the footnote citations for items 4, 5, 6, and 7. I hope that this information will help Wiki editors with clarification that will improve the article and hope it’s the first step in a fruitful relationship between the Yiddish Book Center and the Wikipedia community.
