Proposed findings of fact by Shlomke edit
Scope of the controversy edit
1) The following are some of the Chabad related topics that have been controversial between editors:
- Chabad. Describing the Chabad movement with exceptional praise on the one hand, or excessively negative and controversial on the other.
- Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Describing the Chabad rebbe with exceptional praise on the one hand, or in negative terms and as an excessively controversial leader on the other hand.
- Chabad messianism. Describing the messianism belief as increasingly extreme, cult like, etc. by some editors, or hiding its existence and moderating it by others. Also in dispute is whether to include extreme minority and fringed beliefs as part of the general belief of Chabad messianism
- Chabad-Lubavitch related controversies. Some editors are of the opinion that anything controversial that ever occurred and can somehow be associated with Chabad ought to be included in the article. Other editors feel that only something that was part of the Chabad movement as a whole and was defined as a controversy by RS ought to be in the article.
- [[Category:Chabad-Lubavitch Hasidism]]. Editors have voiced disappointment and concern regarding the amount of Chabad related articles on Wikipedia compared to other branches of Hasidism, Orthodox Judaism, and Judaism in general. Specifically that many of these articles are reportedly poorly sourced.
- Articles about individuals who had strained relationships with Chabad, like Barry Gurary are beefed up to make him look like the true "should be" rebbe of Chabad.
I may edit and expand this list later.
