It's a tiny article and doesn't adequately describe such a famous figure
A transitional figure uniting the US and Israeli Haredi community. Most sought after for his counsel, approbations and speeches. We need to find a reliable source on the number of arba kanfos he actually wears.

Another one paragraph article on a fascinating Lithuanian Gadol. I am sure there are Artscroll biography books available on him, in fact I am certain of it, and we can do an amazing job with this article. - CrazyRussiantalk/

Former chief rabbi of Jerusalem, great person in the recent Jewish history of Jerusalem. Co-founder of the Edah. I figured, if there is already an article about Rav
Shmuel Salant, then why don't we have an article about Rav Sonnenfeld yet? --

The author of the Tzitz Eliezer and a major Posek of our times. If I'm not mistaken he's still alive. I found this important article only yesterday; it had laid dormant since September 05 and requires significant overhaul --

The article is now a lot longer after a dump of 100 year old text from the J Encyclopedia, but I think we should still proceed with a collaboration and write a clean article from scratch, throwing away JE's musty text - CrazyRussiantalk/

We're glad to know you're related. Incidentally, I read in
the Economist yesterday that Y-chromosome analysis shows that 1/2 of 1% of all currently living males in the world are descended from
Genghis Khan, who had 500 declared wives and concubines, and an undeclared number of extramarital liaisons while out conquering. - CrazyRussiantalk/

Then again, if you go back even further, statistically, we're all related to everyone that ever lived. :) Also, interestingly enough, the Chacham Tzvi fought against reforms and some of his most notable descendants are Chassidishe Rebbes. He was the great(x?)-grandfather of the Divrei Chaim.

Nope, I'm thinking of the Divrei Chaim. And I took a look and I can't find any proof that the Nesivos is the great-grandson of the Chacham Tzvi, the article makes no mention of how he is related.

One of the gedolim of the mussar movement of the 20th century. It's quite embarrasing that there isn't an article on him yet!

Artscroll writes Elyah- all others online use Elya- more google hits for the latter, plus that should be how its spelled, methinks.
