message: footnote 2 does not say Chabad is "one of the largest", it says it is the largest.  --134.153.2.217 (talk) 15:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: thank you.  My point is only that the footnote does not support the statement.  The article later says 'either the largest or the third or fourth' - perhaps one of those footnotes should  be used in the lede instead.--134.153.2.217 (talk) 13:25, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  "one of the largest" 

message: Recently the movie Code of Silence was removed from the "Film and Television" section of "Chabad in the arts" by two editors. This was done because the editors felt that the movie -- which is about a case of sexual abuse in a Chabad-Lubavitch community in Australia, and the backlash the victim and their family faced from that community -- was not "about Chabad" but simply about people who happened to be Chabad. I re-added the movie because I felt it was as much about Chabad as many of the entries already on the list. One of the editors that removed Code of Silence agreed with me on this. Therefore, if we want to keep a section on "Chabad in the arts", I think the only consistent solutions are to remove all the works that are not "about Chabad" in the sense that they primarily concern the religion and the practice of it, or to add back Code of Silence.
I am generally in favor of inclusion, so I would like the more tangentially related works already on the list to stay, along with Code of Silence. This also seems to be the general case on Wikipedia, at least with categories. For example, the :Category: Films about Catholicism includes e.g. Daredevil and Doubt, and the :Category: Films about Mormonism includes e.g. Latter Days and New York Doll. Of course, neither the article Catholicism or Mormonism contain any mention of their respective subjects "in the arts" at all. So perhaps another resolution could be to remove the entire section of "Chabad in the arts" and create a list or category of works about Chabad, with the already existing :Category: Films about Chabad as a subcategory. I feel this would make relevant information less accessible, so again, my preferred solution would be to add Code of Silence back as it were. If the consensus is to go for the middle ground of keeping only the works that are more strictly "about Chabad", we should discuss which these would be.
I am not entirely sure how this is process usually works, but I would appreciate comments, and let's reach a good consensus! Knuthove (talk) 23:41, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge of [[Chabad outreach]] into [[Chabad]] 

message: I came here hoping to get some clarity on the degree to which Chabad has been institutionally unified or not in the years since the death of Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The article hints that it hasn't been, but doesn't really say much. I believe this is something that belongs in the article, and I would presume that there has been enough written about the topic that there ought to be plenty that is citable. - Jmabel | Talk 00:54, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
