Rav Avrohom Schorr is one of the most prominent figures in the US charedi community today for better and worse. His story must be told. 12:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)12:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)12:10, 5 February 2015 (UTC)~

This is bullshit. I don't even know what this means. Wikipedea is not your personal storytelling space. If his story must be told, as you say, write a book and see if anyone reads it. Meanwhile, this is an encyclopedea and not a tool for individual vendetta's, or to be treated like your local neighborhood newspaper.

this article should be deleted.

Let me give a word of friendly advice: Though it may not look like it on first blush, there are strict policies on what subjects and content can and cannot be included in Wikipedia. In very general terms, before a person, place, thing, organization, or idea can be included in Wikipedia it must have

already been recognized
as important or significant
by objective, independent, and provable third party sources
with a established reputation for fact-checking
which are independent of both the subject of the article and of Wikipedia itself.

That's just a plain-English generalization of the actual rules to give you an idea of what's going on here, so don't rely on it but refer to the actual policies instead. (For a great analogy illustrating these concepts, see WP:SCRABBLE.) Without a working knowledge of Wikipedia policy it can be very frustrating to try to write an article that won't be deleted. I've tried several times to write a better introduction to editing than can be found at the Article Wizard and Your First Article and I can't. Don't be tempted to skip past sections of either one, they're full of solid gold information. Also, if you've not done so already, you need to read the Notability, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Conflict of interest policies from beginning to end.

interested in biography

interested in more information regarding Rabbi Schorr's biography including upbringing and where he learned in yeshiva Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnz21 (talk contribs) 19:47, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't get enough information on this man to even describe him then this article is just bias tripe and needs to go.

You don't even know his date of birth? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.98.57 (talk) 20:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

current changes

The current changes are a better compromise that what existed before. However, I still believe that a sample shuirim as a primary sources would give a better idea of the subjects biography, and we are still missing the most basic biographical data. 96.57.23.82 (talk) 10:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources and rabbinical prominence

When a Rav is quoted by other rabbi's and is invited to speak at large public lectures, he can be described as being prominent. He is also entitled to be addressed as Rav. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.19.74 (talk) 01:24, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
