The original Chabadpedia is a bit guilty about this, but the only way a site like this can be a reliable source of information is when everything is sourced. Besides adding a major degree of reliability to the site, it also makes such a site useful even if the writing is not the greatest.

	'''Bad Translation''': This leads me to another point: One should be careful with using translations and look everything over. Really everything should be ~~reviewd meticously~~ but even a quick review would make it clear that Gedolei Yisrael can't be ~~tranlsated~~ as the great sages of Israel. And there are many more terrible mistakes [there are better AI tools that can ~~tranlslate~~ without making those types of mistakes]. Which brings to a another point.

	Translation of '''Chassidic concepts'''. There are two big problems using the current ~~chabadpedia~~ as basis for the chassidus articles. 1) being that it is written in the source language it is sort of okay to use words as "munachim" and not fully ~~explaining~~ the concept. But as soon as a "munach" is translated it usually renders the sentence meaningless. b) ~~there~~ automatically tends to be hagshamas haborei when translating Chassidus into English and also borderline kefirah (as "in this world there is no G-dliness" instead of "in this world G-dliness is not apparent". I tried perfecting one Chassidus article and it was a nice amount of work. Something like that needs to be done.		Translation of '''Chassidic concepts'''.

Also there should be rules of when there could be Hebrew titles and when not.		'''Titles''': Titles must be short and concise.

	hi benny, we are currently working on translating pages, and we want to keep a orderly account, with a certain style, so please if you can withdraw from translating and work on other things that need to be done, for example templates etc.

	~~thank you.~~

'''Transliteration''': There should be a more or less consistant transliteration throughout
