Talk:Lea Rosh

message: In 1998, Rosh proved that here birth name was in fact "Edith Rosh", not "Rohs" as sometimes asserted. She therefore had only her first name changed, not her last name. cf. ,  --85.180.130.221 19:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: At the moment, she is completing a libretto for the musical show There's No Business Like Shoah Business, which is to be performed in 2006 at the Theater des Westens in Berlin.
Removed, since there is no proof to be found for this story, which is most presumably a hoax. The alleged composer of the project, Wolfgang Rihm is no composer of Musicals at all, which makes the story even more untrustworthy. --85.180.130.221 19:06, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  In fact she never did. --FordPrefect42 07:56, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: She want people to believe it and tries to make the impression by changing her name to a Jewish sounding name. In German, there is a word for this: Namensschwindler (usually such ridiculous people adopt "noble-sounding" names to make the impression they are nobles). Catholic from Berlin 13:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please cite the sources for your claims. As to my knowledge she has never been unclear about the fact that she is not jewish. --FordPrefect42 13:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Even the German Wikipedia state that "Spätere Berichte über ihre „Namensänderung“ zu einem jüdisch klingenden Namen versuchte sie zunächst gerichtlich zu verbieten, verlor ihre Klage jedoch. In Zeitungsberichten bestreitet sie die Namensänderungen gleichwohl noch in Gegendarstellungen." It is irrelevant whether she says she is Jewish or not, the purpose of the name is to make an impression. Ms. Edith Rohs aka "Lea Rosh" has been widely criticized for this in German press. Even representatives of the Jewish community are very critical because she is abusing them for her "Selbstinszenierung". Catholic from Berlin 14:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is out of question that she has changed her first name(s). She has proven though that she never had changed her last name. Now please end this edit-war and stop vandalising the article. --FordPrefect42 14:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Important would be to find the source of the courtcase to see if the "jewishsounding" or just the namechange was the issue in the libel action. Agathoclea 14:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

text:  An article at Berliner Zeitung states that she never changed her surname. It mentions furthermore that her grandfather was Jewish. So it is just wrong that she isn't Jewish at all. (Of course, according to religious rules it would be correct, but it is likely never understood that way.) --85.180.250.53 (talk) 23:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Inline citations are essential for information in a BLP that carries a negative tone. The section beginning "When at the monument's dedication..." and ending "...Rabbi Chaim Rozwaski told Rosh to 'Leave the Jews in peace—the dead and the living'" does not indicate its source. If it is sourced to one of the existing articles, please add a note to that effect, or, if not, provide an inline citation indicating where it does come from. If it doesn't indicate its source, it will need to be removed per WP:BLP. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources added. The story is well-documented. The quote from Rabbi Rozwaski however reads quite different in the original version from the way it was cited here earlier. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 17:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. As I don't speak (or read) German, I can't track these down myself. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:37, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

text: for the critical voices, I did some clean up. Rosh is a controversial figure and has received high ranking appreciation of her work. --Polentario (talk) 03:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Not a very good job, I am afraid. Not a single source given in the highly controversial "criticism" section. I am sorry, I had to revert that. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 23:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Source must be cited in the article, that's why your edits had to be reverted. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Not only did you add new unsourced allegations, you also removed what was already properly sourced in previous versions of the article. I am sorry to say this, but that behaviour comes close to vandalism. The style guide for citing sources is quite clear, but you do not respect ist - there is no basis for a discussion until you do. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Watch your language! --FordPrefect42 (talk) 21:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

text: It is you who does not cooperate or comply to the simple rules of citing sources properly. And again: watch your language!!! --FordPrefect42 (talk) 17:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The lede contains this sentence fragment: 
While she received major public awards, e.g. the Bundesverdienstkreuz, Rosh is either a controversial and influential figure in the local political scene of Berlin.
Given the "either," I have to wonder where is the "or" that should follow? She is either a controversial figure in the local political scene or what? The sentence could be repaired by removing the "either," but I assume someone put it there for a reason. Would anyone care to address this?
Alternatively, could someone have been saying she is also a controversial figure? I have no way to know, but I hope someone who knows her better than I do can clarify the sentence one way or another.
