I am removing the line "and the first woman to be Executive Director of a national Jewish organization" because it is not correct, e.g. Karen Rubinstein was named Executive
Director of the American Zionist Federation in 1981, succeeding Carmela Carr who may have been the first woman head of a national Jewish (non-women's) organization. ref http://www.azm.org/karen-j-rubinsteinPuffin150 (talk) 23:27, 1 October 2011 (UTC)puffin150[reply]
RSN consensus on FrontPage has continually been shown to be that it's never reliable for news and can be reliable in some circumstances for opinion, but should never be used to source comments about living people. If Hornik's claims about Rosenthal belonged in her biography, we would be able to find them in reliable, non-fringe sources. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:31, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed a link to American Thinker from this article as a source - it is a right-wing e-publication noted for publishing white supremacists and white nationalists, among other fringe extremists, and does not to my knowledge have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy demanded for reliable sources, particularly those used to support claims about living people. Moreover, the article is an opinion column and thus, even if AT is an acceptable source, can be cited only for the attributed opinions of its author, never for factual claims about third parties.

While I have no personal knowledge on this publication, and it is quite possible that you are correct, to preserve NPOV you must provide links to RS's to support your wild and far reaching claims. Note that the American Thinker page has nothing supporting your claim. Why do you think that is? Shouldn't you fight this battle on that page? As for opinion pieces, your point is well taken, but insufficient. Many sources such as NYTimes do fact-check those. Do you have any reason to believe this specific publication does not?

The issue is substantiated at length on WP:RSN, where a discussion has been opened on the suitability of the site - you're welcome to participate. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:39, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have nothing to contribute to that discussion. In connection to this article, in that case let's wait to hear a consensus on that page and/or admin's summary of the discussion. When such summary rendered, one can proceed with restoring the quote or replacing this sources with a RS, whichever it may be. Mhym (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
