Talk:Shwekey

message: Hello,
Are you really sure that Yaakov Shwekey was a member of the Miami Boys Choir when he was a boy????
i'm asking that because I have absolutely all the albums of MBC that were ever produced and I cannot found the name "Yaakov Shwekey" anywhere on the albums, except on the album "Miami 25", but at that time he was already a grown-up!!!
So, if Yaakov Shwekey was really a child-member of the choir, it was under another name?

replies: text: The reason why he doesn't appear on any albums, is because he left after a few months, I believe because of the Sfardic accent of his youth  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.127.164 (talk) 03:38, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe this assertion needs better evidence than a blog site and a freewebs site. I have tagged the sentence accordingly in the article - I had a search on Google and Google News but couldn't find anything suggesting he had sung as a boy in the choir.

message: In this edit a web address that I couldn't previously access was corrected, and now that I can see it I'm not sure it's suitable. My knowledge of Hebrew is zero, so I have to rely on a Google translation but the main page does not suggest this source is suitable. It has previously been queried whether Shwekey sung as a boy with the Miami Boys Choir (see above) and this potential self- or user-authored page doesn't seem suitable. Can someone tell me a bit more about goop.il?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigger digger (talk • contribs) 13:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are sources to support the fact that he sung as a guest alumnus as an adult, but the assertion on the page is that he was also a member as a boy, which no independent, reliable source seems to be able to verify. Bigger digger (talk) 10:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure this should be here.
:#The controversy was about Stern and the NY penal system.  Shwekey was an incidental performer.
:#Perhaps this should be rewritten to be "Shwekey performed at Tuvia Stern's Bar Mitzvah" - if the bar-mitzvah is deemed notable to get an article.  More likely it should be moved to wikinews.
:#If there is any new information about Shwekey in any of the write ups, the information should be incorporated into the article and sourced.  External links to the articles are not appropriate here
Update: After reading the linked articles, I found the only one about Shwekey was the New york post.  For now I'm removing the others and will wait to hear what people say about the NYP article.

thread_title:  Stern Bar-Mitzvah 

message: After a month or two, all mention of Tuvia Stern and his affair are gone from the news.  As Mr. Stern and his event have been deemed not-notable by the community (a passing one-hit news item), should this section be in the article about Yaakov Shwekey?
