Divorce
editI wonder why he and fellow BU professor Paula Fredriksen divorced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.30.236 (talk) 23:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- If a reliable source came up with a reason, that would be OK, otherwise... who cares? V. Joe (talk) 20:58, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
POV/Promotion
editAlthough I've edited the section about his PR work now, it is still far from being neutral. Starting from the heading, the section uncritically adopts his "Pallywood" concept and quasi promotes it rather than describing his activity for Israel from a neutral POV. The whole section could be taken from one of his blogs, which are promoted in the text. Also, the article lacks criticism of him and his work.--Severino (talk) 12:44, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
The article as is, is pretty much directly copied and pasted from his website. http://www.richardlandes.com/ Lot 49atalk 20:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Criticism
editHere's some criticism. Although this is a short piece, it has links to others. There was more in The Forward.

Daughter's launch of IDF social media relevance
editHi @natgertler, I would say this is as relevant as mentioning her career at all. I think it's quite common to note the relationship between family members when they are in the same general line of work, and in the lead paragraph we say of Richard, "He has defended the politics of Israel in the light of what he calls media manipulation by Palestinians.". His daughter not only was spokesperson for the army of said country, but she pretty much launched its social media presence, which is a significant factor in molding domestic and world opinion about Israel. So, father is "defending the politics of Israel and daughter is "explaining the viewpoint of the IDF". I would say it's relevant in that sense.Keizers (talk) 21:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is hard to see the WP:WEIGHT here, if no reliable third party sources are noting it in relation to her father. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 22:19, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I could find one and that was in Haaretz. But if you don’t like the point then delete it I won’t challenge that. I already stated why I think it would be included in other situations.Keizers (talk) 00:54, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Keizers, as I noted on your usertalk, one of the places your multiple attempts to add content about Aliza Landes to Wikipedia was discussed that is still accessible to non-admin is a merge proposal from one of the articles you created with the same/similar content about Landes to another article where you added the same/similar content about Landes, e.g. [1]. Reliable sources do not appear to support the WP:EXTRAORDINARY claim that Landes "pretty much launched its social media presence" nor the content you had added to article. This addition [2] appears to be contrary to WP:BLPNAME, WP:BLP policy generally, and WP:BLPBALANCE (e.g. "Beware of claims that rely on guilt by association"), based on the sources and same/similar content that has previously been removed from multiple articles.
