message: Sorry, but nobody looking for information about this rabbi will ever think to type in Qafih. The article should be Yosef Kapah, as he is referred to in the sources and he is known to the public in Israel. If someone objects to that, there should at least be a redirect. His wife was also known as Rabbanit Kapah. --Gilabrand (talk) 13:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Toward the end of the biography section, the article reads that he "presided over the Yemenite community in Jerusalem, as well as spreading Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook's teachings among the Israeli Sephardi populace." The portion regarding "spreading Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook's teachings among the Israeli Sephardi populace" has been marked as requiring citation to reliable sources since July 2011. This has gone unsupported for a very long time now, so unless someone can cite a source for this it'll be deleted. I'll wait until July 2016 (which will mark 5 years--more than enough time--since the citation request) though if someone wants to delete it sooner I'm not opposed. Truth to be told, I'm just giving this notice as a courtesy as this seems to be far from the reality of his emphasis on spreading Yemenite/Maimonidean teachings.

message: Seeing as the "Legacy" section at the end of the article seems like it may be overlooked among the preceding material, I will move the section to precede the list of Published works. Though I'm not happy to do so, considering that Rabbi Qafih's published works preceded his legacy, I think that having the sections a bit chronologically out of order makes more sense than having an important section possibly missed by readers. I see this convention was also implemented in the Abraham Isaac Kook article (and probably other such entries as well).

thread_title:  Moving the "Legacy" section up. 

message: While this article can use more biographical details, what's more important is beginning a section highlighting halakhic rulings of his (see for example here and here on the Hebrew Wiki). This would probably be a uniquely difficult endeavor considering that much of his halakhic focus was on explaining Maimonides, such that much of "his" rulings are in turn explanations of the Rambam. While these explanations are worthy of noting, in any case there is nothing now and not many people are gifted enough to even give this a good start. ? Contributor613 (talk)
:Very good suggestion. I have some information collected on Rabbi Yosef Qafih's halakhic rulings, but it will take time and effort to organize and put down into some encyclopedic style.Davidbena (talk) 16:41, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
