Name collision

Not that it seems like it's caused any problems yet, but also the guy that wrote "Give Us The Ballot" is (i think) a different person named Ari Berman. 66.172.12.231 (talk) 22:09, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life Section is Copy-Paste from YU Website

I was looking up Rabbi Berman because he's scheduled to give a benediction at Trump's inauguration. Reading his personal life section, I couldn't help but notice how hagiographic it sounded, so I looked it up and the entire section is copy-pasted from his page on the Yeshiva University website. Given that this section (which makes up the bulk of the article) violates Wikipedia:NPOV and Wikipedia:Plagiarism, someone should rewrite this article accordingly. A cursory search shows that Rabbi Berman has had multiple controversies throughout his career which are not mentioned in the article. FactCheck105 (talk) 01:56, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. The hagiographic section was readded on February 7 with citations from the Yeshiva University website and blog. Someone associated with the institution may be trying to put his institutional bio into the wikipedia page. The editor who added the hagiography on February 4th and 5th, 129.98.36.102 is a Yeshiva University address. Someone will have to keep a lookout to prevent them from using wikipedia as a place to public PR for free. Itsik.isserles (talk) 16:32, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
