[edit] NPOV

This article needs to be made NPOV... I feel like I'm trying to be coerced into joining. --Hersch 04:50, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

• OK. Let's discuss. It's a Jewish organization with Jewish values like any other. You wanting to join an organization that may or may not be in line with your personal or religious values does not make it un-NPOV. This is a tough issue to address. Is this a movement issue? How can we improve? --yonkeltron 04:06, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Agreed. I feel an article on USY should discuss the controversy over the USY's informal 'point system' as referenced in a January 1999 issue of The Forward [1], and responded to by USY officials here: [2] if it is to avoid being POV.Ferret-aaron 05:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

This article was nominated for deletion, and although it was given a temporary reprieve, it needs some reliable third-party sources showing it's notable, and perhaps some information about something other than its list of programs. It has to read like an encyclopedia article and not a commercial, or someone will nominate it for deletion again. Cheers, SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IGB

Are the IGB positions really necessary? For the most part, no one reading this article will have any idea what any of the positions mean, nor does it really add any value to the article. This seems like this kind of extra information that made this article nominated for deletion, and it also seems like a vanity edit. I vote to Delete this sub-section. 65.93.47.136 22:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I concur. Keep the shtuss that is only relevant to the internals of the organization out of this article. The whole thing kind of needs to be cleaned up so let us not make it worse. --yonkeltron 08:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nassau County

Could someone from METNY more clearly define what parts of Nassau County are in Chazak, and what parts are in Rakevet? Right now, terminology like "most" is kind of vague.69.158.59.206 22:22, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tags

Yonkeltron, could you be more specific about the problems that you tagged?69.158.48.216 21:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Frontier

Why is New Frontier named such? Right now, I just put a "?" and a link to edit the information, but no-ones added the reason. I was gonna say it has to do with JFK's New Frontier speech, but I think that was in SoCal. Jeztah 20:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I noticed the page currently says the reason is Based on the Film "New Frontier" with John Wayne. I doubt this is the real reason. Can anyone support this claim? If not I'm going to remove it. --Fez2005 (talk) 00:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nicknames

Seems like it would be more appropriate for the regional president nicknames to be on the official USY website rathern than on Wikipedia, wouldn't it? --Fez2005 (talk) 07:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
