Talk:Tikkun (magazine)

message: This is the definition for Tikkun the book, not the magazine! It should have a separate entry! TaraIngrid 16:58, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: While it may be that the people who are members of Tikkun and those friendly to its goals might view the entry as hostile, I found the entry to be accurate in the extreme. A person who comes to this entry without the benefit of knowing the founders of Tikkun (the magazine) should learn of the associations of the people and their insights. The insights are provided by Prof. Dershowitz and I would like to point out that the organization is at least glancingly affiliated with these organizations as a member of the "United For Peace and Justice" coalitions. The UFPJ is made up of individuals representing the following groups:
 * American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee
 * American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)
 * Antiwar.com
 * Buddhist Peace Fellowship (BPF)
 * Catholic Worker Movement
 * Center for Constitutional Rights
 * Center for Religion, Ethics and Social Policy
 * Code Pink
 * Communist Party USA (CPUSA)
 * Democratic Socialists of America
 * Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR)
 * Global Exchange
 * Greenpeace
 * Green Party of the United States (GPUS)
 * Institute for Policy Studies
 * International Socialist Organization (ISO)
 * International Solidarity Movement (ISM)
 * Military Families Speak Out (MFSO)
 * MoveOn
 * Not in Our Name (NION)
 * National Council of Churches
 * National Lawyers Guild
 * National Organization for Women (NOW)
 * National Youth and Student Peace Coalition (NYSPC)
 * Nevada Shakespeare Company (NSC)
 * Pacifica Foundation
 * Peace Action
 * Quixote Center
 * Rainbow/Push Coalition
 * Rainforest Action Network
 * Refuse+Resist
 * Ruckus Society
 * School of the Americas Watch (SOAW)
 * Socialist Party USA (SPUSA)
 * Tikkun Community
 * TransAfrica Forum
 * TrueMajority
 * Veterans for Peace
 * War Resisters League
 * Working Assets
 * Z Magazine and ZNET
While one could make the assertion that the entry in relation to Tikkun is biased against the goals of the organization, it's my position that the group is anti-Israel and clearly not in the mainstream of American Jewish organizations. Get2djnow 15:35, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tikkun's bias, not the definition's bias 

message: I just saw this article for the first time, and something is wrong with it. The middle is a hodge-podge of Wikipedia text, quotes from articles, and http addresses. Would somebody who contributed to the article care to clean it up a bit? Malik Shabazz 21:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I've been through the History of this page, I see that this paragraph was added by one editor who added essentially the same language to Jewish Voice for Peace as well. I'll try to clean it up a little. Malik Shabazz 22:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry to keep flogging a dead horse, but I went to the sources of that paragraph and they seem to be blogs and personal attacks. I also looked at the other edits made by 160.39.35.21 and concluded that the best course was removing the paragraph altogether. Malik Shabazz 22:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ? 

message: Every issue of Tikkun has a bold disclaimer that opinions expressed in the magazine are not endorsed by the editor or the magazine, unless they appear in editorials, but that they are intended to stimulate discussion. (I don't have a copy handy, but I'll post the exact language when I get the next issue.) I am going to correct the sentence about the magazine calling for divestment, because the article clearly appeared under somebody else's by-line, not Lerner's. In fact, Lerner has repeatedly argued against divestment in his editorials. Malik Shabazz 21:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tikkun's POV 

message: I'm a longtime reader of the magazine who added substantial info last night and intending to go over again with citations soon. Thanks to all those who've made efforts to improve this entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.48.42.208 (talk • contribs) 20:34, August 3, 2007
:From one long-time reader to another, thank you. Please take a few minutes to review Wikipedia's policies on verifiability and original research. Content in articles should be attributed to reliable sources.
:As a reader of the magazine, I think that most of what you wrote is true. As a Wikipedia editor, I'm afraid that I have to delete some portions of it because they appear to represent opinions, not statements made in secondary sources.
:If you have newspaper or magazine articles about Tikkun, or books that describe it, please add them as references. If you have any questions about how to do that, please leave a note here or on my Talk page and I'll be happy to help.—Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 05:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Substantial info from longtime reader

message: This article on Tikkun magazine should be added to the list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Jewish_magazines_published_in_the_United_States but I don't know how to do it so I am just posting this suggestion here. Mfrphoto (talk) 10:25, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: List article in category

message: I don't see why we add "Alleged" to the section title when the paragraph itself states that the editor-in-chief admitted he did what he was accused of: he had written 'letters to the editor' in praise of himself and published them under a pseudonym. How is that a merely "alleged" impropriety? Even if it wasn't and won't be proven in court (I doubt it constitutes a crime), the facts are sourced by both the former editors making the accusation and Lerner himself copping to it. I'm removing the extra word, but let me know if you have a good reason for keeping it in. PublicolaMinor (talk) 07:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Alleged" Improprieties? 

message: The final 'controversy/criticism' section could use a bit of help with sourcing. We state that Tikkun published criticism of Alan Derkowitz for multiple issues prior to his criticism in response; however, for reference, we only cite "(for example: May/June 1997, September/October 1997, November/December 1997, January/February 1999)". Setting aside the fact that these are improperly formatted, can we get actual articles and authors to go with that, rather than raw issue numbers? I'd also appreciate individual sources for the two Letters to the Editor. Those two quotes are mentioned in the JWeekly source, but I'd feel better if we could at least direct readers to the full context. PublicolaMinor (talk) 07:51, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
