Talk:Bernie Farber

message: I've added   and  tags to the article – there is  much unsourced WP:PUFFERY and it needs better references.  Also, the existing references should eventually be improved to use a standard and consistent format.  --CliffC (talk) 17:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Puffery, references 

message: I've restored the two tags mentioned above and removed by another editor.  The tagged problems have not been fully addressed.  It seems neater to leave the   tag in place than to append a "Citation needed" tag to every paragraph.  
* The article is still in need of citations from reliable sources – many claims are uncited, or incorrectly cited.  As an example, the citation ending the paragraph 
::Farber is a published author and has contributed numerous articles on the Jewish political scene, human rights issues, the Holocaust, hate crime and white supremacy to newspapers and periodicals including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Toronto Star, and many others.
:says nothing about him being a published author and does not mention any of the publications he's said to have contributed to.  I don't doubt for a minute that he has, but this is why Wikipedia requires citations, so that people can verify that a reliable source has reported these claims as fact.  
* The article still reads like a promotional piece for Farber, or a page from his resumé.  As an example, puff paragraphs such as
::In 1992 Bernie Farber was instrumental in working with the National Congress of Italian Canadians in producing one of the first anti-racism educational films in Canada. Who is Peter Iswolsky? winner of a Canadian Silver Screen award,is still in use in schools today.
:go unsourced; that paragraph's inline links don't even mention Farber. Broad statements like "Farber is considered the voice of Canadian Jewry" obviously require citation.

replies: text: Cliff, where I note that Farber has appeared in various news publications, I actually sourced those publications and linked directly to the newspaper articles in which he was quoted. I will add the major work he published.Pampina (talk) 22:35, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, I reworked that paragraph to use a standard reference format and to report only what is supported by the citations.  --CliffC (talk) 04:19, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
