Removal of self-promotional material[edit]

Wikipedia is about objective, encyclopedic content. An enthusiastic paragraph about how the local community was "rejuvenated" by Chabad, backed by nothing more than a Chabad website, is pushing POV. The Chabad website will simply publicize any story provided by the local Chabad people, and as such is not an objective source whatsoever. Even the local "The Examiner" paper, quoted in the second paragraph removed, will, in this case, of a story about synagogue service details, simply publish these details as provided to them by locals, as it does with dozens of other private clubs/organizations/people. While The Examiner is itself a respectable newspaper, claims about synagogue services' details are hardly likely to be scrutinized, but rather simply published as provided to it by locals. The Examiner's editors, in this case, may very well not even understand the meaning of the published synagogue services' details, nor care about these one bit. Therefore, the removed paragraphs contain unverifiable self-promotional material, which may belong in self-promotional websites like the referenced Chabad website, or even as a community service announcement in the local newspaper which would probably mean practically nothing to 99% of the newspaper readership - but not in any serious encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.69.118.118 (talk) 06:09, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
