[Wikipedia-l] Problem in the Yiddish Wikipedia

[Mark Williamson]

I knew what the articles said just as much as you did.

A page that says "_______ is a brother of [[________]]" and have the
other article just link back, in addition to using incorrect
orthography, is not even on the level of a stub, as is the case with
an article simply saying "a singer".
