List of British Jews, Grace Note and friends at work Options Rating

[guy]

Have a look at this article, where Vulturell is doing sterling work against a concerted campaign by Grace Note and others, including someone who doesn't like people ganging up on her.

It seems that uniquely among ethnic lists, even among lists of Jews, this list cannot include anyone unless they are explicitly described as Jewish. And it's no good having a reference that says their parents were both Jewish.

In an attempt to minimise criticism, Vulturell's even had to change the name of the list, putting it out of line with every other Jewish and ethnic list on Wikipedia!

My goodness, did Lulu actually say that?

I do believe I've missed a bit of fun by not being involved in that tussle.

Yes, there are plenty of websites on the net that lists famous Jews, the best of which was Jewhoo. And all of these web sites were run by Jews. I'm really beginning to think most of the big detractors of the Wikipedia lists are just way too politically correct non-Jews.

Yep, it's still on the List of Jewish jurists talk page.

"From what I can determine in some searches, at least in the USA, the American Jewish Yearbook is a vanity publication of the American Jewish Committee, which is a sectarian right-wing organization. I'd put very low credit in this as a source of information, enough that I'd object to inclusion of a name if this was the only reference. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 16:56, 19 November 2005 (UTC)"

After RachelBrown explained that when she said the Jewish Year Book, she meant the Jewish Year Book and not the American Jewish Yearbook, he added

"Oh, it appears that the British version of Jewish Year Book is a similarly sectarian publication of Vallentine Mitchell Publishers. I had not hear of them, but their web site makes them seem approximately equally reliable as the American Jewish Committee (i.e. very low, but non-zero).

I'm sure that it will come as news to everyone that the American Jewish Committee is a sectarian (i.e. Jewish) organisation. I will say to SlimVirgin's credit that she slapped Lulu down on the the Jewish Year Book.
